Old player's open letter to DICE
My reply in another post ended up in me ranting a bit so I figured I would move it to being its own separate post. I've seen many people on several forums, subreddits, and social media platforms all ...

@ATF_CatButt Old players open reply to you.
I'm enjoying the new game, it's core battlefield combined arms gameplay with new vehicles, gadgets and maps.
The negative reaction to the game is hysterical and it's spread like a cancer especially on the reddit sub.
It just seems to be the way it is now for every battlefield release.
All the normal expected issues that happen with a new battlefield game like hit reg, server lag, optimisation, weapon and vehicle balance are being blown up and used to attack Dice and the "evil EA corporation".
The vocal minority hated the BFV reveal trailer, with some valid justification and they've carried this grudge throughout BFV's first year or so and are now using every opportunity to carry on with this grudge with BF2042.
The specialists of BF2042 are this games woman with robotic arm.
None of what I say matters, the mob is alive and well and nothing will sate them apart from time.
Give it a year or so and they will move on and the people who truly enjoy battlefield games will continue to enjoy the game until the next release when the exact same hateful mob mentality will reappear.

@zakrocz the only thing that makes this a battlefield game in comparison, not counting portal, is it has a conquest mode and vehicles. Other than that it's Apex legends all the way down to some animations and even the specialist. This is hardly a Battlefield game.
Really this is pointless. They either dont read posts esp. post launch. That "Community manager" dude NEVER replies to anything. Imagine having one job and its to chat with fans. You know, the gamers who buy your game? I see random tweets on twitter. They dont help as they are always vague.
Its a bit like CDPR - they dont communicate with their fan base after that terrible launch. And while they still made money, i would not buy another game from them. So damage done.
These calls, letters etc its a waste of time. The game is what it is ATM. It will get better. Some things will get added but the specialist are now the core of the game so they surely cannot get rid of them. Maybe the next one will return to its roots....
@Buzzfunk well said, I certainly get that this is most likely pointless but there is an off chance that someone from DICE or EA may see this and one of two things could happen; they say "meh, get over it nerd" or they get fired up about it. I'm not looking for a DICE or EA person to reply, I'm hoping they just gleam through it and get the points attempting to be made. I really hope that the game goes back to what makes it Battlefield - if DICE wants to make a different game, that's great! Go make that new thing and get a new IP going! Don't try to force change to an IP that's been established for almost 20 years at this point. 4 things make a battlefield game - vehicles, map size, classes, and community. Sure I don't like specialist but that's really a small complaint compared to the lack of community that can come from this game when compared to previous titles. Battlefield is boring to play alone, and it most certainly is just not the same when you're on your own.
- @ATF_CatButt I'm around level 1600 on Apex so yeah thousands of hours. I do not get why people keep saying BF2042 is Apex. It isn't even close for me. BF2042 has been a welcome change to my gaming sessions. Yes, the menus are bad but the gameplay is fun and a welcome big change to what I'm used to.
