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

When will dice and ea get it through their thick skulls? We don't want to play a hero shooter/special characters fighting against each other. We want to play battlefield. You all had a unique series ...

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

REMOVE THE STUPID SPECIALISTS!  EVERYONE HATES THE SPECIALISTS!!!  

Go back to regular classes NOT specialists!!!

    @davidgmccoy1 mate writing all in caps is a bad manor

    also speak for yourself I prefer the specialist system over the old class system

    The Specialist gives mor advantages and freedom of choice than the class system which locks content....

    See you on the battlefield

    @ragnarok013 I think many people don't like it to open more than one launcher to playing a game, also you could get BF2042 much cheaper on origin itself and thru key sellers than on steam. So, I think there is a valid argument that Steam beside Epic are the smallest portion here.

    Also, we don't know how many players are on PS5 and xBox S/X because due to the cross-platform ability they should count in.

    But in the end talking about numbers without EA giving us the real thing is nothing more than making assumptions

    And assumption are kind of inaccurate 😉

    As long I get a game in seconds it seems to me that there more player than we expecting and I have turned off cross platform gaming (so i searching in a smaller group of players)

    See you on the battlefield

      @CountSero some yes, but it's the Origin thin client so it's not as resource intensive as the full Origin clients and many other AAA companies also mandate their launchers too like Ubisoft, Rockstar and so on so it's not a deal breaker for most Steam users. Steam still dwarfs those other companies sales to the point where Ubisoft doesn't even sell the latest AC on Steam to get more money because most people still bought AC on Steam.

        Meh it's pretty sillly to think STeam suddenly broke the old habits of most BF pc players.  

        People are creatures of habit.  And if they played BF the last ~10 years they went through EA/Origin.  Day after day.  Month after month.  Year after year.  And all their BF buds were developed through EA/Origin.   Their old BF games are on Origin.  And the game still launches Origin anyway.  Plus you have to factor in how many even know 2042 is on STeam after being trained for so long  to expect it only on Origin.  

        So I would definitely expect  the vast majority of BF players to  still be using Origin. 

        AC doesn't have that same tight history with UPlay.  And was never even a big pc game.  It's a console game first and foremost.  IT's also a single player game.
