Development Timeline & The Future of Battlefield There are a lot of contradictions in this post. You state if you create a similar game to an already released game, you aren't going to compete", yet you want DICE to make a game that is no different from its previous titles. You also state, "Creating a new game with the goal of making it good, it will then become popular." While they still need to fix bugs in the system, they did make a new game, their goal was to be enjoyable and different to attract new players. I am not sure what you want, the old and repeated that similar to every other BF game, or something new and different?I'll give an answer. We want the old and repeated BF style and formula that is tried and true while also incorporating some new ideas along the way (whatever those may be I don't know). The problem is there's been a lot of turnover at DICE and the new blood may not really know how to follow the traditional Battlefield formula. Or maybe they do but EA is pulling them in a different direction. CrashGames who worked with Tom Henderson on the article shows anonymous employee reviews of what's going on at EA and DICE and it's not pretty. Seems like there's a lot of blame to go around. But I think if they continue down this super hero road it may not end well.

@CantGetRightFirst, he never said in his post that he was speaking for everyone. Second, if you watch the video you'll get an idea of where he's coming from.Sounds like you're a little salty about people not being happy with a game that has many, many problems and should have been delayed. Paying customers are well within their rights to be frustrated as they want a good game for the money they're paying. I think this video is pretty indicative of the heavy hand EA has in making game decisions when they really don't know (or care for that matter) about what players want. All they know are stock prices and cash. Good luck if they continue down this road with super heroes. They'll be eating a lot of Battlefield fans dust.

The reason I got interested in BF2042 was because I got sick and tired of the Fortnite/Overwatch/Apex Legends type games...Luckily, its not completely in the same area as those but still, too much of a departure about what made BF games actually interesting for me.

@CantGetRight Dice loves players like you....you get sutisfied will less quality games and enjoy whatever they give you....But dont accept when the core game is gone. classic class game is gone.When 9 years ago you were able to give to your customers a battlelog that you could create platoons/ communities/ able to chat and invite your friends easier.... dedicated hardcore servers..gameplay with squirrels now and apex style and at the same time not fun ground vehicles with more realism when driving and aiming.Maps with huge empty spacesand 128 players also is a mess

If this is all true, then the BF series is dead

@VBALL_MVP Let me try to word it better. A similar game to an already released game that was released within the last 1-2 years. So for example, Firestorm released like 6 months to a year after BLOPS 4 Warzone. Or maybe they want to make a hero shooter br for example from what it sounds like in the video. Lets say they make one and release it a year after Apex 2. Those two have already cemented themselves into the genre and if they wanted to compete, releasing a half-assed game in an overflowing br market and expecting it to be a hit is silly imo. They back peddled many times in this development chasing trends, and in doing so lost a lot of their core playerbase as well as the new players they were trying to bring in due to the lack of depth the game has from its short actual development time.
Of course we don't want games to be exactly like the old one but the designs and core fundamentals are the same with the addition of what current technology can do now a days. (weather effects for example) They wont be the same as a game from 10 years ago (bf3/4/bc2)

I am sure if they did release something similar to BF3 & 4 people would be bitching nonetheless saying we want something different!

@BtheReaper49When you put 'We' in a thread/post of this nature and don't quantify or contextualise said 'We', it can only be assumed that that 'we' means everyone.

Neither you or the OP has quantified or contextualised your 'We' which allows any reader to assume you mean everyone.

As he said, you both don't speak for everyone.
