@MortalitasWolf I'm honestly super fascinated to learn why that despite 18 months of work on improving Frostbite, and despite "all of DICE" working on 2042, why they only seem able to update a single map and create a new map per season.

That bodes terribly for the future of DICE's games if this is the best the might of the full studio can muster, when normal times would see a smaller live-ops team that would be doing even less work. Though hopefully whenever the next game releases they'll have actually finished development BEFORE launch and won't need to spend 2+ years slowly limping towards a proper launch-state.

@edgecrusherO0Exactly! Either way it looks terrible on EA and DICE. If all they can churn out with 100's of people working on this game is 1 map and 1 rework per season then that says an awful lot about the management of DICE as a studio. On the other hand, if they've lied about it... Well that's just plain wrong. You don't treat your customers like that.

    @MortalitasWolf Agreed. It is sad because battlefield is my biggest passion. I haven't really played any other games over the past 3 years and have been play battlefield since bad company 1. Iv seen the rise and fall and seen some amazing turn arounds but idk if that is going to happen this time 😢

      @SCUBASTEVE120 Same here. I'm only passionate about it because this is literally my favourite series of all time and I've played a LOT of games over the years. It's just so sad to see this happen to a series you love.

        @MortalitasWolf 🙂 it's was grand theft auto as well for me. But they were neck and neck but rockstar hasn't released a GTA game since 2013 so it died to me once gta online got old. Battlefield has always had something about it that just passionately drew me in. So many ways to play. even with 2042 I still get that fix I need but it's no where near what bf3/bf4 use to do for me. Iv known since bf4 that there would never be a game like bf3 again but bf4 and bf5 came close. Then bf1 offered me something different with that bf feel that I could enjoy. I kinda hate playing bf3 content in the portal because it just makes me want to go play the real bf3.

    @MortalitasWolf They can say 100's of people are working on it even if it's a minute per person per month they are not lying.
    They want whales just as latest diablo mobile is now thats the way of the next battlefield.
    £100,000 buy's you super ultra ultra one hit kill invisible stealth helis etc pay £50,000 to have half a chance to destroy any of them.

        It does make you wonder how they used to release updates of four new maps, new weapons, new vehicles and game modes on a regular basis.

        What happened between BFV and 2042!?
