Re: New Dev team ego is killing the game.

@FatherDedYes, I see it as a huge mistake for the community to blame the developers, we even had death threats, this only makes the situation worse, the guy can no longer work because EA kills any idea, forces the team to release the game in the state it launched and still is threatened by "Fans"

Yep @lookcr it's really disappointing to see. I think it's just a tiny minority of people. Probably kids with no sense of proportion so I think you have to take them with a pinch of salt and kinda just accept that unfortunately there are people like that about. If it was an adult posting stuff like that, they'd need to have a word with themselves.

Personally, I've been very critical of BF2042 up to now (I'm actually starting to see a lot of good in it now that patches have resolved some of the issues) but I try to keep it in proportion and not direct it at specific people when I have no knowledge of what went on during the development of the game and who is to blame for various things.

I remember reading the user reviews on Metacritic for BFV when it came out. Some of the comments were shocking. Especially ones to do with the whole "women in a WWII game" storm in a tea cup. Some people have too little to worry about it seems.

@FatherDed Me too, until today I didn't understand this criticism of having women in the BFV, sorry for the swearing but * it's a game, and yes we had women in the second war

There's a lot I didn't like about the game, but these points should never be used to threaten the devs.

Some things I just don't agree with everyone because to me they sound like empty reviews, the game is bad, but getting better with each patch, it's unacceptable to have released the way it did, I still have a little faith because it has potential, one of points I want to see is the new map, how it will be done since now we have the basis of being really oriented towards the classic and not a supposed BR

BFV, a year into its release, was a great game. The movement and gunplay were absolutely spot on. If they could replicate that in BF2042 along with improving the performance and balance, it would go a long way to turning the game around. Beyond that, some maps with better flow, more cover and it would potentially be a great game. A lot of ifs there though!

@FatherDed Some ideas from BFV I liked, I can't deny it.

Let's see what awaits us for 2042, it has potential only depends on the freedom that DICE will have, maybe with Zampella it will improve
