It's tragic isn't it.
We were spoilt for maps with BF4 but since BF1 the number of maps, the number of game modes, weapons, etc has reduced, while microtransactions have increased.
Clearly EA have the view that minimal effort is the way forward, while milking the franchise fans for every dollar they can get. It will be the death of battlefield.
I guess support for 2042 will end with S4, and maybe we'll have a new game for the end of 2023. Who knows and after this disaster, do many of us care?
Once again DICE have gone quiet, we don't know what S2 will feature and it's less that 3 weeks away!
The contempt towards players is astonishing
I have a feeling when 6 days in Falleuja releases this fall/winter, BF will be a distant memory
its absolutely is coming out. I also credit that company big time for ( pay attention EA). taking their time, making sure the game play is solid and that the game has a proper level of quality so when it's released, paying customers are happy and love playing it with no little to no problems.
crazy concept.

Finishing development on a game before asking people to pay for it? Why do that when the tried and true strategy of rushing a half-finished game out the door, gaslighting the community, putting out banger trailers that don't show gameplay and misrepresent the quality of the product, and then complaining about how brutal player expectations are and how you're just a poor AAA studio working under a AAA publisher and being expected to release a completed, marginally well designed game.
I'm just laughing at how bad the communications strategy continues to be. This, again, isn't directed at CM's proper since they get their marching orders from above. This is directed at the studio/game leads who are determining and enforcing this "strategy" of continually pissing off their community because apparently the expectation that DICE acts like a "live-service" company while running a live-service game is another one of those "brutal expectations".
Sorry to Andy, who is actually a great guy (seriously, his time at GI was great and he's genuinely a super nice guy!), but that quip is gonna follow DICE for years.
