Take the game off the market....

After all the back and forth, i have to agree. 

I was in denial for 2 weeks, kept playing but it never felt right. At least to me. If you re enjoying the game, please enjoy it. 

After some thinking, it all really comes down to bad design IMO. Also the hype (like CP2077) was misleading, that alone will make me never to pay another dime for an EA game. 

This is my personal opinion so no need to get defensive or troll police the post. I get that Dice want new gamers in their franchise. Nothing wrong with that and i have buddies who love Cod, warzone etc and never liked BF to begin with. But i think 2042 suffers an identity crisis. 

Dice should have:

a) kept 2042 to its roots. 64 player count is fine. Instead focus on refining what worked in the past and what didn't. Keep classes, Elevate destruction, levolution and the war chaos. Keep it serious. 

b) release Hazard Zone as a separate product with the Specialists. BF: Hazard zone could be a good introduction for new players that way. 

c) release Portal as a free product with a few selected map from past games. 

That way, it would be a win for everyone. Love warzone, division etc? Play HZ. 2042 would keep the core BF fans happy. And Portal would be a good nostalgia trip and might even lead to people buying some of the old games. (because aside from bugs, BF one and V were really not that bad). 

No patch will fix 2042. It is what it is and i cannot see myself playing it for long. Seeing that it sold so well but player count is already dropping daily - i spent more time yesterday waiting for people to join a match than playing. Not a good sign. And the old saying, just because it made a lot of money doesn't mean its great, applies here. And esp. for a multiplayer only game, its important that people play it and if they dont, your game is dead. 2042 already looks DOA.
