No point trying to be tactical
Anyone else fed up with how easy it is to be spotted in this game now? You don't have to look for enemies anymore, they are just highlighted with a massive RED dot above them. How are we supposed to ...

If you can kill 50+ enemies in every game you play (often lots more in BT), with a KD at 5+, then you are doing a lot for your team and way more than people helping capping flags with a KD of 0.5.
And he has been very vocal in getting bugs fixed in the game regarding recoil, bad mouse-input etc. He also showed how to abuse Hind/Condor which was probably part of the reasons for the nerfs of these vehicles.
He is one of the few "good" youtuber-guys, many youtubers are not very critical of Dice, and he really flames Dice a lot regarding all the bad decisions in 2042.
I didn't say he wasn't any good. I was talking more about playstyle. Most of the vids I have seen of him are him shredding unsuspecting noobs from behind (like most streamers) and the minute he dies, he ALT-F4s.
There is always a debate about kills vs OBJs. The game is centered around the objectives, and even if you clean house, you still need others to cap the flags. So both tactics are needed, but kills+OBJs is king IMO. In Conquest, you can have 100 kills and no deaths and lose if you don't cap any flags. On Breakthrough, the only team that has tickets is the attackers, so unless he is playing defense on Breakthrough (never does) or TDM, K:D has a lot less value.
I agree with his assessment of the game and glad he puts out the videos showing the shortcomings.
Back to the OP...
The game is so full of gimmicks and stupid game mechanics, that any kind of tactical play is negated. We have wingsuits, zip-lines, rangers, self-replenishing explosives, scatter-grenades etc etc etc, all these things make the game too chaotic and give each player tools that they shouldn't really have.
MacKay has changed the game-play a lot, Dice have even admitted that level-design is more complicated, just because of him.
We need simpler game-play with more focus on teamplay. A "clown-shooter" can work in a 5v5 environment (or Apex BR), but in BF it makes everything into a total mess. They can try minimizing the specialists with gadget-restrictions, but they do not remove things like zip-lines, wingsuits, self-replenishing explosives etc, and in the end the game will stay fundamentally flawed.
The game presently has a bug with the spotting which will allow you to be spotted behind cover. Just another thing to add to EA's "great game guarantee."
