Re: So it's confirmed that it's up to 64 bots in a match

@TickTack121 DICE/EA are chasing players that dont play and or like BF games. The problem is to do this, they have to make the game less like a Battlefield game. The devs dont seem to be trying to make the best BF game they can, they seem to be trying to make a game to entice non BF players. Obviously we have only seen a trailer and have been drip fed very little info, so wont know how it looks and plays for a little while yet. For all its faults, and there were many, BFV still felt like a BF game, but the changes BF2042 have the potential for the game to move even further away from BF past. It may make for a fun game, and all this 'angst' is misplaced, we'll have to wait and see.

    @ninjapenquinukYou have to remember that 1942 came out in 2002… before some of BF2042s future players were even born.

    EA DICE have to keep enticing new players or the game / series will surely die.  Now, I agree with you that there must be a fine balance between respecting and implementing the past games that got us here, but they have to try new things to keep it interesting and attractive to a younger, new-to-Battlefield audience.

    @carsono311 They have to entice new players to make even more $$ . The problem is If they keep moving away too much from the original BF games (and yes we haven't seen this one yet) then it will alienate and turn away players who liked that game style, and yet may not attract enough new players away from COD or battle royale games and the series will be in big trouble.

    @ninjapenquinuk Yes, I agree it needs to lean heavily on tried and true gameplay from the previous series, but I do not blame EA DICE for trying new things and pursuing potentially interesting opportunities where they can.
