The ex DICE veterans are a huge loss to this series.
They have absolutely knocked that "other game" just released and free to play out of the park. The levels of detail & polish put this game to shame. Bring them back at all costs.

@Lady_One Frostbite has been a problem for Dice for a long time. In BF1 we got the 'we do not have the tech-meme', from the developers. Doing all kind of apparantly simple things were a mess even in BF1. Things like showing achievements/unlocks while playing, double XP-events etc etc all had issues, because of Frostbite being a problem.
Frostbite looks nice and mostly runs fine (BF1 looks nice even today), but it is apparantly hard to use for development and loosing the old developers is a problem for Dice, in this regard.
But still, 2042 is not a matter of bad 'coding', but rather stupid design decisions and bad game-mechanics.
Hardline was not made by Dice, it was another studio.

@cso7777 Agree completely. The design decisions for 2042 must have surely come from management.
The low regard Battlefield seems to be held in shows in how everything seems to be downgraded. Look at the care, love and craftmanship that went into BF1 and then see how we're losing everything in 2042.
1) No server browser.
2) Platoons gone.
3) Servers downgraded. And BFV struggled on 60Hz.
4) The absolutely abysmal level of content.
I can feel myself building into a rant so I'll stop there or I'll be listing grievances all night.
My main concern is that EA has already decided that the future lies in their sport franchises and the utter abominations that are cash cow Battle Royale's like Apex.
It's the only reason I can think of that Dice would attempt to turn Battlefield (their baby) into whatever Tarkov/Royale monstrosity it was intended to be until Dice regained their sanity mid development.
I really hope Vince Zampella and co can turn it around 🙏
