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...
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.

@X-Sunslayer-X I'm not saying he can't make a polished game. 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.
