OP You ask why - Respawn made Apex Legends a hero shooter out of the Titanfall husk, made it f2p and EA made $3.4 billion selling skins. Thats why EA directed DICE to try and replicate Apex's success in 2042 with an Apex/COD/Warzone hybrid. Didn't work out.
If EA wanted this scheme to succeed they shouldn't have called it "Battlefield" per se and should have launched this game as an entirely new franchise, as a spin-off

Yeah, BF2042 should've been Battlefield: Specialists or something like that, similar to Hardline. I think it would've been better received that way. Instead we got deceived.
All the new games have characters lately, just look at xDefiant. Little kids like the colors and skins.

Are we talking about Delta Force : Hawk Ops ??
"...Delta Force is back, have you heard? No, it’s not a revival of the classic Novalogic tactical shooter, but it’s something that may actually prove to be no less interesting. In a word, the new game, titled Delta Force: Hawk Ops, has more of Battlefield in it than Delta Force...."
- Lady_One2 years agoNew Ace@b0gart-555 I'd hope not because I don't see that game in as much of a negative light, at least not now. I wish Battlefield had more competition. World War 3 flopped, IMO Battlebit isn't that great. I hope Delta Force puts some pressure on EA to make a better game.

@Lady_OneI personally mostly play Battlebit, it is not BF and is far from perfect, but it is way more fun than 2042. Battlebit also has a lot of fundamental mechanics working better than BF (mouse-response, gunplay, sound etc).
Delta Force is F2P and I doubt that it will differ from most other F2P-games (monetization/skins more than "real" content). The game is operator-based and the specialists were one to 2042s biggest issues, I'm not sure it will be a real competitor to BF. But time will tell...
