Okay, I am in a better place
I wasn't enjoying the game for a lot of reasons and said so in threads here and there. I am up to level 25 now I think I have adapted to some degree to the nuances 2042 has introduced at this point. I am changing my tone to optimism instead of the "get off my lawn" guy!
I have been having a good time and finding my niche of play style. I think most often the ability to adapt to the new games in the BF series has always been the key to making it fun. The fact is every time we get a new game in the series there is a learning curve. How fast some of us traverse that curve varies but nonetheless it is there and requires adaptation. Not saying the game is good to go or anything like that. There are still plenty of things the community needs to make them aware of to fix and continue to provide feedback for. I am confident DICE can get this thing molded into a game I can sink 1000 hours into.
See you on the battlefield!
