I think DICE missed a trick...
It just occurred to me that DICE could have eaten its cake and had it... If they had built BF2042 as a normal Battlefield, THEN put the Specialists in the 'Store' for sale, they could have pleased ev...

@Matty101yttamI think you are right.
It seems like Orbital and Manifest are the only 'finished' maps, all the other maps have issues with being far to open and they feel unfinished (some more than others).
We really needs the maps to be redesigned, at most 3 or 4 maps are acceptable for playing infantry, the rest are just not fun. This is not really acceptable for a AAA-game that cost 60 usd.
@cso7777 lol i remember seeing the trailer after everyone hyped it, and when they flew across hourglass in the transports it was like reefing the needle across a record for me, one big riiiiiiip...."wth its way open"
@Matty101yttamThe open beta was on Orbital. One of the only 'ok' maps in the game and not really showcasing the 2042 maps in any (truthful) way.
Unfortunately Dice haven't really fixed maps in earlier BF-games and we are probably stuck with this mess we have now.
Dice made some small adjustments in BFV to some of the maps, but the maps in 2042 needs a lot of work to become acceptable.The only trick EA is successfully good at - giving promises supported by no evidence (correction: false statements - "way ahead of schedule in many aspects") avoidance of a "class action lawsuit" and implementation of "surprise mechanics". Building a solid first-person shooter experience is currently a sideshow, unfortunately.
Forget about the release of a stable and finished product - false expectations in A.D. 2022.
Keep defending this or be moderately surprised again with an upcoming release again.
