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.
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.
