I thought that I'd be able to earn all the things that were in the trailer such as the cool red mask and the white operator outfits. But no.From this hyped up trailer featured event the only things that you can earn are a player card, a weapon skin which dice developers definitely didn't use the paint bucket tool to create it and definitely doesn't look like other weapon skins we already have, an operator skin for an operator that barely anyone uses, and a tank skin. And that's it.DICE and EA actually expect people to pay more than $10 for some headgear and outfits that (yes may be bought in a bundle but) in actual fact should be earnable throughout this event if DICE actually wants to earn back the lost player base of this poorly developed game. What a disappointment and absolute waste of an event.Ribbons. thats all you do to earn the "rewards". Earn ribbons. How creative.

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.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.

@CPT_GASLIGHTBut that's the thing the BF fan base doesn't want any of those things that you described in a BF game!

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

Liquidators event is nothing but a cash grab by DICE and EA!

@RayD_O1 Agreed, I don't spend my money on skins or any cosmetics in shooter games. I did this once in Blops2 and ultimately found that after awhile I would tire of the silly looking skin and would rather just see the weapon looking as it was meant to originally.

Its not something new, it was already implented in BF4, small conquest with 3 points and decreased time to capture.
Its literally old mode with cosmetics buff which now looks like call of duty trash game lol
Plays like CoD, looks like CoD -> I say mission accomplished.

There is not one decent skin in BF2042 they are all generic rubbish not worth anything.
If there were not free aimbots about EA/DICE would be selling homing bullets etc.
We have a legitmate wall hack as it is.

@Psubond Why buy skins of any kind? They give no tactical advantage and what do you do while playing, look around and say "doesn't he/she look rad in that skin?" "Look at that gun, wow!" You don't even have time to notice or care. It's just a personal thing and nothing more. I'll take what ever I can earn, but I'm not going to pay any actual money for it, especially when a 36 pack of Pepsi just went up $4.00 at Costco and gas is back on the rise!

Im just gonna say it as it is.

The skins are fine (Way to expensive yes!), the task (100 ribbons) is fine, good trailer, a story that makes sense.
The mode is basically TDM, but smaller with so little combat engagements and feels like it was made in 5 minutes with no ties to the story.
Forcing one to play a * mode you don't want to play, to unlock cosmetics is such a waste of my time (I only play breakthrough and rush, which might be why i hate this mode).
I want the cosmetic rewards, but hell no im not gonna play that boring * 5-minute crafts gamemode...

If i could have made changes, i would have put 2 teams against each other, Liquidators vs "dark market threath(couldn't think of a name)" , in a 16v16 or 32v32 king of the hill type of arena, whomever holds the point the longest or until opposing teams ticket count is 0 wins. Where the liquidators actually play as the liquidators and not their usual specialists.
It's just some thoughts.

My point is, if they ever make another limited time event, don't just make it another featured portal experience, the event is basically nothing more than that....

@Psubond Right I was agreeing with you I wasn't thinking you were buying the skins. I took it you were not buying skins.
