Rant of veteran
First, my background. I started Battlefield adventure with BCBF2. I still remember the thrills gotten by trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gmcg6F4BeUE Till today, this is my favourite gam...

Most BF games have had rough launches it seems. I have over 5k hours in the series starting with BFBC. I skipped Hardline and BF5.....and at the moment I am not buying 2042, although I may in the future.
Game companies long ago used to let reviewers get the game early and inform the public of their opinion. This is no longer done industry wide. It is sad to say that the customers are now kept from the merits and quality of a game and that the fans become the true Bera testers after paying full price for games rushed out way to early and unfinished. This method of sales and testing will continue as long as the customers let it happen. If you played the 2042 Beta you should have known that the game was nowhere near ready for release.
So many game companies now lie and make broken promises that I now consider it industry wide.
Battlefield is getting closer and closer to COD. You can see this over time and the releases that they have made. While the new game has many great ideas, it has dismayed older veteran players who see the change and do not like it. But money talks and the bulk of players are younger and not yet learned enough to see the changes that vets have. If your first game was BF1 or BF5, your view of the franchise is different than mine.
I do not want "Battlefield for everyone". I want a solid well thought out shooter without alot of arcade gimmickry and bling that is now so prevalent in the new 2042. And I do not want bots, They add nothing to the game other than fill up the empty servers.

Thing is, I did not reflect at all towards technical quality. I expected there will be bugs, and issues - like almost every case in the history of franchise. I am highlighting the points, which in the merits battlefield game should have in my opinion, but 2042 has none of it ☹️
I also don't want "battlefield for everyone". This does not mean however I would like to have exact copy of BF4. It is good to have some additional improvements and changes. These however needs to be added to increase merits of battlefield franchise, not to make it a clone of CoD, Apex or other dumb thing.
BF Vet here too, I've not played 2042 for 9 days in a row now which is probably the longest I've not played a BF game in many years (other than when abroad). Not only have I not played 2042 but for some reason 2042 has also put me off of playing any other BF titles too. I guess 2042 has ruined the whole BF vibe for me and I don't see the point in playing older titles because I know the franchise had been ruined so I have no new good BF game to look forward to.
Real shame it's gone this way but unless they change a great number of things in 2042, add a load of crucial legacy features and publicly apologize while at the same time promising a proper BF game for the next title in the franchise then sadly I think I'm done with it.
I guess I'll have to hop on once a month or something to see if they've fixed everything and made decent changes but I'm not holding out much hope tbh.
The most infuriating thing in this Game is the amount of brain dead players. I have a feeling that with the Specialists a lot of CoD and Fortnite players have come to BF
