I swear the BF franchise has the most geriatric and out of touch player base in all of gaming currently. Have you not played other “live service” games with limited time events? They usually just reuse maps already in the game. They may or may not change the weather or ambience. They might slightly change the game mode to something different and may limited which weapons you can use. Skins are bought with in game currency and a few are given for free. See Apex Legends or Rainbow 6 as examples. I’d bet Valorant and Overwatch are like this, but I’ve never played those. Honestly we should consider ourselves lucky they didn’t decide to lootboxify the skins.
@CPT_GASLIGHTBut that's the thing the BF fan base doesn't want any of those things that you described in a BF game!

Other fanbases don’t want those either.

The thing is, many of those are free-to-play titles. I would expect paid-for skins on F2P to get money back for the content. BF is a full-priced game, which has been out almost a year, and has less content released in that year than any battlefield title ever in that amount of time.

True, but if you want to unlock everything on day 1 you have to dish out money for currency to unlock most of the characters.

the only reason we don't have loot boxes is because of legal issues in some nations. your first sentence is rather insulting btw
"be happy it's not worse" isn't really an argument that gives any hope for the future
Liquidators is a mid-season event. In-game cosmetics are par for the course in today's age and a failure to understand this as something that drives revenue boggles the mind.
I'm looking forward to small-team tactical gameplay in 2042, finally, and nothing's going to ruin that for me. Not even the full briefing posted days ago that outlined what items will be available upon completion of challenges and what will be available for purchase.
Unhappiness with the state of the game, besides being another conversation altogether, requires the comprehensive presentation of constructive criticism. Keep at it! This may not be the game we want, but it's surely what we paid for. Never forget that in a capitalist society, one votes with their wallet.
@Prep768 In a similar fashion, yes, and lately by the image below, LOL
Such an event in a free to play game would be normal, but heck - 90% of the things that have appeared in this event are available for purchase with battlefield currency, which normally cannot be collected by just playing. Therefore, instead of getting new maps, weapons, some real content, we are crammed with paid skins 😑 as I wrote, if Battlefield 2042 was a free game, it would be quite understandable ... Guys, it looks worse and worse.
Yeah feels like a last throw of the 'dice' to bring in reveunue! It's basically an ingame stroe promo sale. Bundles priced at £14.99 Individual skins £7.99
Be interesting to see the pick up on this as I rarely see custom cosmetics out on the actual field.
