@Trokey66 Nothing wrong with old formula's. The problem with this game is that they haven't tweaked the old formula's that worked then added other elements to it and made it work seemlessly. They literally just emulated other games. The end of round animations are from other games, the specialists are just basically "heroes" from hero shooter games, the matchmaking, even the main menus are very similar to other games like COD. EA Dice just added those things they copied, splashed some (lack of) weapons and vehicles with some big maps without balancing anything, and thought "yeah, great job guys, lets get the money". I get that players want to play certain modes such as BR or something similar but just straight up copying other games without thinking about how you can keep players engaged is gonna hurt this franchise in the long run, which by the looks of it, it already has. And it helps that the game actually works the way it should. Other modes such as Hazard Zone and Portal are disappointing. Portal is pretty dead everytime I go on there, even the servers they promote are quiet. And I don't see the point of Hazard Zone. If Hazard Zone had some sort of new weapon you can obtain by winning a few games or something that you can carry over to any other game modes, then maybe it's worth playing. But right now, I dont see a point playing it.
Talking about engagement, players can play solo against AI and unlock all attachments and vehicle unlocks, farming the unlocks. That doesn't seem to me like players are achieving anything. Previous BF titles, you had to fight against other players for those unlocks and once you got those, you feel a sense of accomplishment. With this BF, it doesn't give me or many other players I assume that same sort of feeling. This game has been dumbed down so everyone can access it and you don't really need much skill to play it. I'm actually bored of this game already, which is a shame as I was looking forward to it.
