Joystick Support
I'm considering pre-ordering as I have for past Battlefield games but wanted to know more about any details regarding support for joysticks. I find flying with them is much better but support for the...

Typical BIG business. F**k the customer for every penny they can and send it to a couple of rich assh**e that own it. They don't give 2 sh*ts about the customer as long as we are stupid enough to keep buying their stuff. I have asked them for a refund on my game because Battlefield 2042 really sucks. Old maps I played long ago. The lag has been so bad on their servers for me, I will take me years to earn a weapons upgrade. I have owned every BF game since the franchise started. I have always been a horrible shot and it has taken long hours of game play -mostly because I'm waiting spawn in cause I'm dead- to get a weapon upgrade. Most of the time I only get the upgrade off a dead guy....LOL So EA should honor your HOURS of play and not just accuracy. I play medic or supply 98% of the time because it's the only thing I can contribute to keeping the squads going. I am really sick of getting pretty costumes to wear and fancy ornaments for my carbide because I've been promoted. Give me a god damn better gun.....Pretty is something for the vain, macho, I'm God sh*ts that tea bag you when your down. Sorry for the RANT...
I wouldn't call it typical big business anything... Its simply them having other priorities. They delayed the game's launch, meaning it wasn't ready, so the fact it doesn't have joystick support out of the box isn't a surprise, since that's less critical than other things they probably needed to fix. My appeal is that they add it, but I can wait a little while.
These games are massively complex. I'm speaking as a dude that owned an Atari 2600 and Pong, but am still a gamer. So have a little patience, young man. BF4 wasn't perfect out of the box (also lacked joystick upon release), but they eventually got it right.

Are you sure. I do not remember that the BF4 lacked joystick support. BF1 did, but they solved it quickly, and BFV had many problems with binding buttons. The last game with real joystick support was BF2 if I remember correct.If they don't add support this games gonna die for me pretty quickly
I really feel your pain guys, really do... and I don't want to transform this topic in one of the many others going arround this forum. BUT, this type of "request" to add additional input method for PC (not sure if will work on consoles) it's the same for the players who want to add native support for MnK for consoles. We all should be asking additional CHOICES for input methods no matter the platform. Flying a Heli with controller may be easier on controller, but way more fun with a joystick.. same example with a racing game, you can play it with controller or even a keyboard, but it's more realistic and fun with a racing wheel, right? Sure!
Playing with a controller is challenging for an FPS game, and for me at least it's more fun with MnK. So, please add the CHOICE to natively support different types of input methods in any platform, IMO...
Really hope DICE add this type of thing to this game considering crossplay and player base preference.Cheers

Not true, all the games they have released had joystick support, till 2042. I know cause I have been playing since day BF1942, I own and played them all.

BF1 also didn`t have joystick support to begin with.

Hmm that's embarrassing because they were ready to cash in on their unfinished game...double standards?...um embarrassing
They all did?!? Every single one? Gee, are you sure?
