Is this Call of Duty?
I haven't played in a while. But, jumped on today and immediately felt like I was playing Call Of Duty. You know, insta-deaths. Rubber bullets, etc. It's the insta-deaths that bother me most, because...

It's not Call of Duty....Yet. But, the franchise has certainly been heading in that direction. Thanks Vince.
@DigitalHype i struggle to see how this is Vince's fault... he took over this franchise just recently and if you believe he is going to turn this mess of maleware around then you are delusional. also Vince has not been involved in anything DICE to my knowledge even before he took over as franchise manager....
if you want to blame anyone blame the leads and managers who were all let go after 2042 flopped

You're right that it's not fair to blame Vince for all of this. But he, and his "Hero Shooter" mindset is a big part of the problem in 2042. Of course EA executives have been chasing what they think is where the money is. But, there is little doubt in my mind that his vision for the future of BF franchise is heading toward Call of Duty and Apex Legends more than the roots of Battlefield. Certianly more so than the predecessors who he replaced.
- @DigitalHype he literally made polished games in Apex and Titanfall 1&2...
i mean if you think so that is your thing, i will wait and see. at the very least the candy-crush exec is gone

I'm not even saying his vision will be wrong in the long run, when it comes to revenue and profit for EA. Jury is still out. EA's CEO has said they are playing the long game with this franchise. All signs indicate the long game and Vince's direction is going to make the future of this game look more like Call of Duty and less like Battlefield. And just becuase because he didn't take for Oskar until end of 2021 doesn't mean his influence wasn't already there. Those top position changes are usually in the works well before they happen.
- @DigitalHype Hero Shooters are okay in an Arena Style Game with up to 10vs10 players, or all the x-Royal games.
I have no idea how many heroes you would need for a 64vs64 arena shooter, but it definitely isn't 10 heroes. Sadly you are probably right. I love the BF franchise, but it has been steadily heading that way. Unfortunately, unless something happens to drag it back towards what BF was, I think this will be the last I buy (and I regret getting 2042). Nobody I know plays BFV or 2042 now, but some still play BF4 and the new reality mod for BF3 looks interesting.
Other than that, it is Insurgency Sandstorm on Console at the moment, or Squad/Arma III on PC.
