I initially questioned it, but thought about conventional battles between 2002 and now. Electronics have changed, but fundamentally, a lot of assault & hand weapons aren't that much different.
If, in twenty years, the no-pat situation actually happened, then I'd expect warfare to have less technology than we have now.

You can try to explain the issue away with your own personal take on game lore but the bottom line is the BF community has certain expectations that have been set by previous installments in the franchise, such as scoreboards or the way BF4 treated near future tech, and there is no amount of reasoning that will make the game more fun/interesting by excluding them.
It is beyond ridiculous to finally give us a new BF with a near future setting but to then come up with a scenario where the available technological capabilities actually regress from the present. Might as well as made it BF1982.

Hah, nice gaslighting there. I thought this would be an interesting discussion about weapons future and past. Instead this is just another passive aggressive post saying "EA Sucks because they didn't do what I wanted" - hidden in a faux discussion on weapons.
I agree. Add me a 2142 Mech and I am ready to go
