@RaginSam To be fair, the game sold ok because people thought it was going to be a Battlefield game. I don’t think anyone expected a hero shooter with shades of Tarkov and PubG. I hated the specialists when the game came out. I’d wanted a Battlefield game. All my clan mates wanted a battlefield game. What we got was a solo hero shooter with no thought given to thousands of players who played together. It was bad enough back in the day when Origin started restricting us to 100 friends, or to a platoon of 50. Now we get 3 people to play with. The missing server browser and persistent servers is the biggest reason this game is dead. After 900 hours in it, they bring classes back? Huge mistake. I said it before, if classes came out in the first few months, it might have worked. We all are used to the game the old way. I agree with you that the performance was dog *. If the game was battlefield with specialists, I think people would have eventually come around. The strong dislike of specialists was drowned out with all the other bad design and execution. Dice has dug an incredibly deep hole of anger and frustration with 2042, I’ve played since 1942 (so 20 years) and I love the BF series. I play other games, but always came back to BF. Trying to combine classes with specialist is stupid. I’m not going to sugarcoat it, it’s idiotic. It’s typical Dice. Stop listening to the streamers, and listen to the players damn it. The smug devs need to get off their high horse and realize how badly they judged the community. They’re still misjudging. They still think they know what we want. It’s pretty goldarned clear they don’t by looking at the player count. We played a few times, remember when we couldn’t get a Breakthrough going and it was only 9PM PST? That’s telling man. It tells us that 2042 is a failure as a BF. After a year it’s finally an ok game, but it’s still not Battlefield. Classes deserve to be in the next game, if they make one. They’re the wrong move at this point in time for 2042.
