Gosh i dont know where to begin....
Yes, they added cover to an already boring map. Does that mean they "get it"? No.
Still, no matter how much you change the hero's, how much you add cover to the maps - it just still never feels like war. The dead horse i know. But playing BF1 this just becomes more and more evident. 2042 still lacks details, excitement, destruction, any cool events. I've sorta made peace with the specialists. Ok. It is what it is but at its core, the game is still not a BF game. (to me). Everything is static. How can a game released in 2021 look worse than one released in 2016? Must be a first. Nothing can be destroyed. Exposure is a cool map but nothing happens on it. Zero. No weather changes. Nothing that made past BF games so exciting.
So my point, while i appreciate that the team is trying to fix things, i dont see it ever changing the core problem with the game. Esp since EVERYTHING we are asking for should have been there from day one. If you mouth off because people are 'never happy' well, waiting 5 months for a scoreboard just isn't normal. All of this isn't. But its being normalized. The game was released a year too early, plain and simple.
So yeah adding cover is nice. Making the characters less cartoon like is...good. But all of this is stuff we shouldn't have to beg for in the first place.
