I am hoping that the new EA Survey (see above thread) is maybe a positive sign that BF2042 may not be abandoned and maybe even get reworked, we can only hope so.
How long has it been since the first feedback loop on a single subject (maps) and how many fixes have been implemented?
If anything in the survey is used for BF2042 improvements, I can't imagine any of it being implemented in the next 6 months.

I am well aware of how long it has been since the first feedback loop and I wasn't impressed in any way by the way it was conceived / handled.
I would have much preferred a 2 way form of REGULAR communication which is what I had thought the whole feedback loop would have given us not a one way questionnaire with no follow up to date.
I stand by my above comment, imho why would DICE even bother with the survey at this stage if they aren't planning to take any action like you say.
They have nothing left to gain now by playing silly games with the community, they no longer care about earning a few brownie points anymore as it is apparent that the community pretty much has given up on BF2042.
The only course of action left to turn this game round is to TAKE ACTION and only time will tell if this happens.
I personally hope they do turn it around not just for this game but for the future of the BF franchise going forward.
It seems to me like EA has already written 2042 off as a 'miss' and they've now turned 2042 into a training session for DICE. Making them go back and fix the mistakes made such as poor map design, performance issues, and mountain of bugs.
I'm sure everyone at DICE is hating it, but it's probably necessary to use 2042 as a learning tool so hopefully the next game doesn't have these issues and is fun to play on day one.
I'm actually rather impressed by EA. It seems they realize if DICE is allowed to walk away from this disaster and start working on the next project. Then DICE will have learned nothing and they'll just create another million dollar flop.
EA doesn't want that and it looks like they're making sure that doesn't happen again.

It will very much depend on just how much work they put in when fixing those mistakes and whether it leaves BF2042 in a playable state in say 6 months time. If it is then there is a much better chance of players buying the next BF.
Like you, I also am glad that EA is not allowing DICE to walk away from BF2042 and as I said previously I genuinely hope that this will not be the end of the BF franchise.
