Pre match. Why can’t we see objectives and swap loadouts?

After we select a vehicle. Why can’t we see all objective locations on the map? Why can’t we swap loadouts, check scoreboard for even teams, switch squads, or deselect out of the current vehicle we have selected?

Instead we are “locked in” and can’t interact with the game in any way. We can’t even exit the match! 

We can do all of the above in previous BF games after we select a vehicle pre match.  

Seems like with 2042 we’ve taken a step 20 years backwards in gaming.

  • Considering how long it took them to implement being able to even spawn on a vehicle before the round begins for the console versions then you will probably be waiting for a few more months.

    Both the pre match and the forced initial spawn are annoying

  • @Psychopski You make a good point. You should be able to do all of those things while you're waiting for the match to begin

    I agree with you, all the little / large features that are missing from BF2042 all mount up and the result is a game that is a mere shell of earlier Battlefields, shame really.

    Agreed, it'd be great to at least be able to edit the loadout for the vehicle you've selected at the very least.

    @UP_HawxxeyeLet’s not forget that initially BFV had the annoying forced spawn  in thing at the beginning of each match but due to the outrage from players DICE thankfully got rid of this annoying feature.

    So then how in the hell do they repeat the exact same thing with 2042 with forcing us to spawn in at the beginning of the match? 

    How can game developers be so out of touch with their own franchise? I swear most2042 Devs probably never even played more than an hour or two of Battlefield before working on 2042.

    Yeah this is one of the worst things. You basically have to respawn yourself to give you that option.
