lack of maps - content and overall effort towards Battlefield

This is not a trolling post or meant to be sarcastic in anyway. I genuinely would love to know whats happening with a once amazing franchise.  some of the reasons why fans have either left, about to leave or just simply hate EA, is because it appears to us, ( perception is reality right?)

that compared to BF4 and BF1, there simply is no emphasis put on this franchise.  Both of those games had amazing DLC release content with a clear and concise road map that lead to multiple maps being release in each event totaling up to 32 maps for BF4 and over 25 for BF1. 

BF2042 is on pace to give us 4 maps total in a calendar year...... what?  Along with that, there is no road map, little to no communication about future content, cute videos where the devs talk a big game about how much work is being done, but here we sit with 1 new map almost a year after launch.  Not to mention no server browser, being kicked back to the main lobby after every game, I mean did any of these current devs play any battlefield before this?  ever?  

Does EA truly not care about Battlefield that much anymore, or is it all the talent is gone after BF1??   Fans don't know because no one tells us anything and that's why there is so much hate towards this game. 

As a disappointed fan, I still play because sadly I paid over $110 for the ultimate edition and just want to at least feel like I got my moneys worth.  ( I still haven't ).

I know this will fall on deaf ears but I at least wanted to express this here in hopes that someone will read it and understand how fans feel.  Hopefully EA/DICE see what they did and never allow this to happen again, stop releasing unfinished games with out FULL support of making it a true battlefield game.    

one longtime Battlefield fan who will never pre order again.

    @Noodlesocks Maybe thats the problem, not seeing that Battlefield filled an niche which nobody else wanted to compete with, now they left the niche they dominated, for a genre, that is filled with competitors, who have much more experience in their field.

    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.
