@cso7777You are sort of making my point, though. The best “counter” to infantry getting farmed by vehicles is . . . Wait for it . . .
VEHICLES!
Some BF4 maps had up to 5 tanks per team, plus AA, plus multiple attack aircraft, plus transports, and more, for 64 player matches! That 2042 has a fraction of that vehicle capability for 128 players is pathetic, and a HUGE part of the problem. A Bolte with a 50 cal won’t be farming infantry for long if your team has a couple of tanks providing cover of an objective. Same for helis if your team has a couple of AA platforms in the field.
EDIT: Changed original word to “farmed”. I did not use a curse word originally but I guess these filters are way too sensitive.
@IPFreely_C4SI don't agree.
The Bolte was a joke when the game launched, because of its high movement speed and overpowered weapons no amount of tanks would have changed that (they cannot even hit the bolte...)
And maps in BF4 with many vehicles is often not very fun for infantry, which is the big problem, too many vehicles makes the game not fun for the majority of players (infantry), which is just bad for keeping players interested in playing the game.
BF2042 has become a ghost-town, mostly because the maps are awful. The only players that have fun on the launch-maps of 2042 are snipers and vehicle players. Infantry are struggling with traversing large open areas and too often cannot hide from vehicles and therefore vehicles ruins the fun for most of the players. If the game is not fun, players leave.
