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. Let's get things like VOIP, all chat and the kill feed working first. Then lets get squad orders and point bonuses back in the game too. This applies to revives, heals, resupply, spots etc. Its that whole thing that if the points system also encourage squad play and teamplay people will do it - including the solo infantry warrior just watching the scoreboard because the points will reinforce the teamwork playstyle. I think a good example of this in the game currently is the Condor/Super Hind. They are overpowered when fully manned (which i think needs to be addressed personally) and the pilot who "just flies" gets a tonne of points from assists and caps.
- @0ld_yell0w Only the specialist Angel can give his self ammo and fire an AT rockets nobody else can do that…and no he can’t heal his self also while getting ammo and using AT launcher. What are talking about
- @ElliotLH You could still play team work by camping in the back with a sniper rifle doing over watch for your team attacking in breakthrough. Team work doesn’t only means giving ammo and health packs.
- @skullcracker2378I guarantee while you’re hanging back and your team is pushing the point and dying, they’re not thinking “thank god for skullcracker giving us over watch while we die repeatedly”. They’re thinking “that guy thinks his KD is more important than the W, what a selfish *”. (Cleaned up by forums, isn’t what you think I said, maybe a little) I don’t know how many maps have been lost as a tenth of the team hides in the back. Unless your spamming Soflam at choppies, get your * on the point
I very rarely play (if ever) with a squad full of randoms.
It is a terrible experience.
The game doesn't help but it is very (very) unusual to find randoms that play together.
There are some, but they are a small minority.
