The importance of competition
It's not only the scoreboard, voip, removal of bots etc that need to be fixed. I think every single aspect of the game is bad. The core gameplay is bad. The weapons, the movement, the veichles and la...

In past BF games, I felt like I was apart of the team. I felt that what I did mattered, but in 2042, it's all about yourself. The game is made to be played selfishly, and without structure in place, no one is to be blamed for playing in such a way.
Statements like this reinforce my thinking that there is an online agenda by many to destroy this game. If past Battlefield games weren't meant to be played selfishly, then why were there servers full of people on those games still doing so? All I see on these boards are people making excuses for not wanting to use teamwork in this series just like they have always done. It is too easy to park a tank or a Bolte on a hilltop far away from the objectives and shoot into the crowd to stat pad. The same things that they were doing in Battlefield 1 when the score board was present.
@Skill4Reelstat pad? When 2042 get stats? Infact with the introduction of bots, stats have become irrelevant

There was very little competition and teamwork in random matches with mostly solo players when the stats and score board were both present in previous BF games.
All of the current player behavior that we are seeing in BF2042 was already happening in the older games. Also the most important stat for many which are kills is already there in the game, and as always is the main thing that people play for. Even sacrificing objective control and their team winning the match to easily get them.
If competition really mattered to the people that play this series. Then we would see them in here demanding platoon implementation. People are however complaining about an irrelevant class system instead of a platoon feature that promotes teamwork and competition.
@Skill4ReelI tend to agree with your statement as a whole. Even in previous BF games many players just went after the K/D ratio but in 2042 I have noticed a big jump in players just playing for themselves more so then previous BF games.
I was playing BF4 leading up to the release of 2042 and I would normally get revived when downed by teammates most of the time. In 2042 my own teammates will just walk on by while I'm down and not even attempt to revive and this happens all the time that I have begun to notice how much it actually happens. Selfishness will always exist in FPS but when you remove all methods of communication and the no need to play in a unit this is the result. This is especially bad in game modes like Rush where you don't have an infinite respawns while on one side.- @Skill4Reel Classes are as relevant in Conquest as VoIP in Hazard Zone. Classes are as much vital as permanent rental servers for Communities willing to host their games. Classes are as much important as the statistics page and classic scoreboard in a first-person shooter game.
Previous battlefields are teamwork-based experiences, especially BF2. Classes and Squad divisions with commanders are grounded in a real-life platoon division adapted for the game. 7 man squads with a specific role, Squad Leader. Commander giving orders, scanning the map, and providing supplies. That is what Conquest should be all about in 2042.
I find Specialists with their ego-centric abilities with access to all weaponry irrelevant because this approach is turning the whole Conquest concept into a Free for All "cosplay event" mode in the long run. Even capturing points meant something by losing part of the map with its assets in 2005. I see no point for Specialists or division into Classes (with explosives) in TDM, SQTDM, Infantry Rush, or any infantry-based mode. I find Specialists gadgets to be the most ridiculous for TDM like Paiks ESP ability or Boris automatic turret.
The only agenda that prevails is a continuous dumbing down the mechanics (especially Conquest) of the game to appeal to COD, recently Fortnight and Apex crowd. I have not instigated the negative reviews on Metacritic. I don`t think that something might be wrong with my approach in this matter by seeing a dwindling player base. I see only 120 dollar connaisseurs still expecting 1st season to drop and keep defending this monstrosity of a supposedly BF game. Present EAs money grabs "ahead of schedule surprise mechanics" and woke policies to capitalize further. Where is the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (beloved) Battlefield game in all of this?
I`m writing on the forum about Squad Management, statistics page, platoon page, permanent servers run by the communities. Not another dead AI zombie XP farm mode that currently is announced, again on the Twitters page.
Continous appeasement to this temporary Specialist hype train will only ruin the Battlefield as a franchise. Playerbase needs Classes to be continuously hyped in Conquest, Breakthrough, Rush vehicular modes. Flesh-out shooter in TDM and other infantry-based modes without fillers like C4s or placeable Automatic Turrets.- @Twordy This is one of the best breakdowns I have read yet! Kuddos! They are targeting a very specific crowd with this game and its not the the BF players from the old BF2 days..
