I stopped my pre-ordering plan
I stopped my plan to pre-order BF2042 for so many reasons! But here's a few. Not sure if anyone else had the same way of thinking, but I hope this feedback reaches the right people. 1. There is no c...

@CyberDymeThey can still be linked to the seasons but NOT the Battlepasses.
I am 99.9% certain that no 'hardware' is behind a pay wall but I will stand to be corrected although that is doubtful.
OK @Trokey66 ,
But so far, all we hear and read from EA, then you have to buy the Battle Pass to 'pay for to' get access to the next season. So maybe wrong, but I take it as implicit that we have to buy the battle passes to access the seasons ahead and thereby also the Specialists being released in them.
I much compare it so far to the DLCs in BF4, where you needed to pay for them to get access to the weapons/gadgets linked directly to each of those DLCs. Like several good assault rifles, like: F2000, the Bulldog, AR160 and the L85A2. Also the MTAR-21 carbine, the DAO-12 shotgun, the AWS and the RPK LMGs, the MPX and MP7 PDWs, and the L115, the GOL Magnum and CS5 sniper rifles. And was it the Deagle 44 and the Unica 6 handguns?
You also had the AA mine and the UCAV which I think was locked behind a certain DLC purchase?
I am not judging it. Just trying to make sense of the limited info that EA have shared so far on their license/payment model for this next game. As this thread is highlighting: Its astounding that EA expect people to flock on top of each other to pre-order based on nothing but a few minutes of video feed and then a vague 10 bullet points product info sticker. :o)

There are the two above options available for players to choose from. First things first, let's assuage those worries a bit: there is no content locked from the free Battle Pass option. What we mean by that is that there is no meaningful content that is tucked away behind a paywall. That means all players get the same maps, the same Specialists, the same weapons, the same everything. So then, what's the point, you may be asking? Glad you're still with us, dear reader.

For your patience with me.
I hope you are right as I may just be misguided by the persuasive marketing splash that EA have been subjecting me to. :o) All our soldiers could all be running around in pink undies for what I care. I have no need for cosmetics as long as I get access to all the maps and hardware in the game! :o)
"All our soldiers could all be running around in pink undies for what I care. "
And, maybe then, the visibility aspect is not an issue anymore.
- @CyberDyme Look at it from this perspective. Those that choose to run around like that will be easy targets to hit. Unless it's the desert map in the storm. If you have battlefield V, you should already be familiar with how they do their battle pass system though.
