Roadmap?
I'm not trying to be a troll but am sincerely curious is a roadmap coming? I just feel this might relieve a lot of angst in community right now, not all of it naturally but a lot.
Forum Discussion
Once again, their original intention was a lie. Every blog we gave them the benefit of the doubt and they do the exact opposite of what they promised. Better communication etc. I unfollowed all of the designers on Twitter. They never really responded to anything unless its an obvious bug ("yes we are aware and it will get fixed in teh next update").
It would be best to scrap 2042, write a post mortem to explain what went wrong and move on. At least I would prefer this over dangling some rotten carrot in my face for the rest of year...👿
BUT WE HAVE FRIDAYNIGHTBATTLEFIELD!!! Communicated in Discord, which again, DICE, is the worst place for any official communications possible.
Y'all need to invest in some professional development for your community team.
@EA_Atic, Discord is a terrible place for communications like this. Really, it's awful. Please communicate somewhere that the BF community can see this publicly without relying on folks in the Discord to screencap and share it.
- @edgecrusherO0 Pretty funny that this is suppose to be the official BF2042 forums and we seems to be treated as second class citizens with no communication from the BF team, just the odd tidbit to keep us going.
As some of us do not follow the cliche of the social media norms and see the "official communication of BF2042" on these platforms, which is still nothing.
Friday Night Battlefield is just the fanboys playing together nothing to see there. Yeah, this is beyond ridiculous. Unless you are a streamer or someway related to the game (publicizing custom servers), EA/DICE will not respond to you. However, if you are, they do, Straatford 40 minutes ago:

Since he couldn't even read his own scoreboard, the player he thought had 69 pts and only had 59, the joke was on him, so I replied:

Friday Night Battlefield is just the fanboys playing together nothing to see there.Sadly we are being treated as second class citizens and we only receive information second hand, or in most cases we receive the cold shoulder and are kept in the dark.
- @CyberDyme They'd need to have at least acknowledged and internal roadmap, which they haven't.
Which actually makes this joke more funny. DICE is the opening act for the clown show, they're not even a clown show. Wild that the community has to spend weeks begging for industry standard practices. Or literally any evidence to show that DICE gives a single * about this game or the community that wasted their money on it.

They don't see any reason to care because the game has been panned universally and it has not been a financial success that was hoped by the higher ups. The changes that are needed for this game require a massive & competent team to accomplish.
Have a skeleton crew just upkeep the game with minimal effort for another year or two before they move on to a new title.
- @SushiiCombo They could at least make it seem like they PRETEND they give a crap. But they can't even manage that.
DICE is an absolute joke of a studio, I'd be embarrassed to work there. https://twitter.com/_Tom_Henderson_/status/1505845993442533379
Huh, so some secret playtest session happened a few weeks back. And maybe some communications this week.
DICE, y'all had better put Tom on the payroll because he's doing a better job of giving the community any reason to feel optimistic for this game than the 4-5 paid CM's you have working on this game and saying absolutely nothing about it.
Your CM's are running a master class in how to fail at every aspect of the job, including the use of personal social media accounts for official communications, resulting in peopl expecting to find them there and being frustrated when it's all unrelated tweets.
Edit: I misread, the communication will be from him. Though him saying "battlefield 2042/battlefield" has me more worried that DICE is gonna abandon this game and us idiots that wasted money on it will get nothing but disappointment and a lesson to never give DICE money again.
Interesting. I get play test emails from EA but never sign up for them because the email never states which game is being play tested.
Initial playtest notifications almost never give specifics on the titles you'll play as they want people willing to generally test, not pick and choose for early content - You can have an inkling, like if they ask about phone details or if you like to play shooters but it's normally the follow-up emails (if you're selected) where you'll know what is being played.
Playtests are constantly happening and anyone can sign up for them so nothing shady is going on lol - "Tom Henderson" is only ever half right at best using typical palm reader-esque tactics- @TTZ_Dipsy Not "shady", more curiosity as to what it was for.
Any updates on a roadmap?
We don't need dates, we get that the minute a date comes out, and you don't meet it, you are overselling and underdelivering.
However, we are already passed that point.
A vague roadmap for the next year leading into S1 would at least bring some life back into the community that is currently on life support.What can we expect at the strategic level for this game over the next 12 months?
