What's funny is that the last 3 maps have all been infantry focussed and it's taken DICE this long to realise that everyone hates vehicles in 2042 😃

I love vehicles.
I love using vehicles and I love blowing up vehicles on foot or from a vehicle.
DICE set up 2042 so that using most vehicles feel bad to control and if you lose your vehicle you will most likely lose the slot to another player who will most often be worse at using the vehicle than you are (I would be happy if the next guy is better at the job than me and I would help as much as I can).
That said, DICE took too long to add a good variety of maps in 2042. Infantry Cluster maps are important for a lot of players and useful for most of the other players for progression reasons- MADMAC50K1 year agoSeasoned Ace@UP_Hawxxeye I think the vehicle balance has been all wrong in 2042 since launch. They feel clunky to use, how you access them, the number and types available on each map are often wrong. They are often too OP for infantry to deal with effectively, have too many counter measures, and don't promote their use in a defined role on the battlefield e.g. AA should be rewarded more for shooting down air vehicles, heavy armour should be rewarded more for destroying other armour, light armour for infantry, attack helos for heavy armour, jets for helos etc. etc. - to reward and encourage their use in a defined role and more vehicle on vehicle combat. At the moment it's much easier just to farm infantry as there is little motivation to seek out other vehicles.

The wait is over, time to try it out and see how it plays.

Only COD fortpex players hate the vehicles. This is a battleFIELD game.
Maybe next time DICE should release a 'COD' version of battleFIELD alongside the real battleFIELD.
If people are only playing the ''COD' version, then let it be. battlefield is dead.
I am afraid that battleFIELD is like fine rock music. It will slowly cease to exist giving more space to some kind of rap music. Let's watch battleFIELD die.
For people who say just don't play these maps I would say that's what I'm doing but there's only seven or eight maps in 128 player conquest. I would like to see three times more big maps in the game existing besides so many small maps now.
I am all for the original Hourglass. Please make it available at least in Portal. There is sooo little content anyway... remember : battleFIELD!!! Is the title of the game.- MADMAC50K1 year agoSeasoned Ace

Is the title of the game.I didn't say I hate vehicles in Battlefield. I just hate vehicles in 2042, because is not Battlefield vehicle gameplay. It's like some weird GTA physics-defying arcade nonsense, where all the vehicles are indestructible and they all turn stupidly quickly and helos can do loops about 6ft from the ground etc. with infinite flares. That's not Battlefield, hence why so many love the infantry maps in 2042....

@MADMAC50K Everyone doesn't hate vehicles in 2042... Everyone hates the poorly designed maps ported straight out of Google Maps.
The infantry farming is a symptom of the worst maps designed in Battlefield history.
We need to go back to when maps had bases, airfields, automatic anti-air turrets at each base.
