Just seen the fuss going around about reuse of character models. Tying hard to think why it might be considered an issue...
I like how you have presented a thorough explanation with examples of how these faces are different and the redditors only reply is
"Lol ea/dice SHILLS"
All they can do is hate. And if you disagree with the hate they call you a shill. And repeat. The mind of a redditor.

Thank you,
There are three models that happen to look somewhat similar across three games. Even if it were a recycled model (which I doubt), there are still a ton of other models that aren't reused, which kind of undermines the claim that the character artists and animators were saving time. This in turn undermines the suggestion that the devs still messed the game up (which is what people really want to say) despite saving time
It's low quality bait from the Reddit rage factory.
I honestly couldn't care less. Some people think that games should use brand new models, textures, mechanics basicly rewright the game every time. If you look at it from a movie perspective, how many times you see Harrison Ford or Sean Connery in different films.

These kinds of decisions are intended to make development faster/easier to improve the rest of the quality of the game, like in Horizon Forbidden West. That didn't happen with BF2042, which is why it's being called out.
These are specific factual claims about the development of the game for which there is no evidence offered other than "it's a face of a white woman."
You're seeing things. Lay off the peyote.
Right answer! @SpudBug
Wasn't trying to replicate a stupid reddit post, but it turned up in a BF2042 google on several sites. Seems standard practice to me.
There is a little irony though given that they seem to have developed a lot of other stuff, some of which people are obviously missing, from scratch.
