Teamwork
Hey guys I have a crazy idea. Instead of blaming the specialists for no teamwork, how bout we blame the battlefield community that seems to forget that teamwork is essential. Crazy idea I know.

@Lancelot_du_LacThe interest in BF is still out there, I think if they had included the so called legacy features (or as we call it, Battlefield) they would have had a huge hit. Sure hit reg, and a bunch of other bugs would have been present, and anybody who suffered through 3 and onwards would have known and bitched about it, but still bought the game and played it. Instead we lost all but the most very hardcore BF gamers (and possibly also foolish, I’m still thinking about that) by abandoning almost everything that makes BF, BF. EA has no idea how many people want a return to the glory days of BF. The old guard is still out there, and has way more disposable income than when they were younger. They may want some new players to join, but it’s the old ones with the money, honey. EA will never know how much they lost by mismanaging this game and release.
Speaking for myself (an older gamer), I have never spent one cent on cosmetics. Yet casual FTP/Fortnite players apparently do. I don't think that I am EA's target market for BF2042.
As to whether EA 'have no idea how many people want to return to the glory days of BF', my fear is that they do know, and the numbers are not interesting enough for them to develop a 'traditional' BF game.
Time will tell!
- @Lancelot_du_LacI’ve never bought a skin, but I bought every expansion pack they put out, as I bought season 1 and would have bought S2 etc if they happened (I don’t think we’ll get anything past S1 now). I might be tempted to get a skin if they were actually camouflage / combat related, not this red, orange, yellow or purple BS they’re flogging. People bought battlepacks, I wasn’t one but enough people did that they made money. The market is there.
I agree totally that you (we) are not their target audience, but we should be.
