Life is anything but balanced. Yet Developers are obsessive compulsive in regards to making video games balanced to the point where they cancel the fun out of their games and then wonder why the player counts plummet and the revenue streams dry up.
Devs don't seem to realize that there are huge unintended consequences of massively changing an online video game over a year after launch.
I mostly played TDM and stopped playing two months ago before the massive "Class" change, as loadout limits TDM playability and cancels the fun factor. Plus after the third nerf to the NTW-50 caliber sniper rifle, I simply gave up playing BF 2042. Over 8000 kills with a very difficult 50-cal sniper rifle, the Devs triple time nerfed an already difficult gun to the point it was useless. Why? Nobody asked for it. Nobody used it much in game as it was rare to die from it. Yet nerf once, nerf twice, nerf three times for no apparent reason...
I wonder if a Dev would keep renting an apartment if the landlord remodeled their kitchen three times without any reason, yet they loved the original kitchen? Change for the sake of change is a game in itself, a tedious waste of time in which some of us are tired of playing...
Most of these were posted in other threads.
Specialists in multiple classes, an engineer version of Rao and a recon version of Rao, an assault version of Sundance and a recon version of Sundance, you only get loadout of one class and not the other classes' the specialist is in, they can have distinctive skin for each class, Mckay, Falck, etc. will stay in one class, specialists do not need to be divided up evenly across the classes.
Boris sentry gun can have overheating component so first shots kill enemy quickly then next shots are slower and kill next enemies more slowly, when no enemy is around it cools down to original state.
Crawford has indicator saying when the recoil/spread is back to center, when not firing extra protective shield goes up
Liz missile is harder to steer when boosted, it stays boosted once activated, can carry other launchers just w/ less stock (about 1)
Misc. feedback: the portal weapons have two versions, a version with the old attachments and a version with new attachments
Railgun stays charged for ~1 sec. after firing in full auto and burst to allow immediate shot if multiple enemies are on screen, otherwise there is a delay that can mean death or you have to hold down trigger when going to the next enemy; revert nerfs
This is just a whine thread now. I don't even think the changes make that much difference.
I truly dislike that ammo crates have become a scarcity. Getting ammo for a launcher has become mission impossible in many games. Requesting for ammo supplies thru the commo rose wont help either. Frustrating.
At least in BFV, we could get ammo at flagpoints.

- What do you like?
None of it. Actually it doesn't change my playstyle or gameplay as a whole, I still play as an assault, but to rely on teamwork which only existed in pre BF1 is just too far fetched.
- What do you dislike?
Everything of it.
- Anything you'd like to see changed?
Couple of my simple thought in another thread.
- Casual player made a fan base.
- What do you think a percentage of casual player versus fan base in any game franchise.
- Casual player don't make Youtube reaction videos, didn't bother to stream it on Twitch or rambling in forum. Why do you think their thought are being represented.
- What makes Battlefield 1 a huge success? Is it because Call of Duty Infinite Warfare is a flop or Dice try something new stray away from Battlefield 4.
- Anyone think Battlefield V is a failure, didn't they check Steam Stats or asking EA about their server activity? Even CAT team from CN made BFV bot that automatically kick and ban cheater, something that EA couldn't do.
- What are EA and Dice had in mind in designing 2042 ? A Battle-royal-field.
- Are these change really, really in Dice roadmaps or just made to appease some of so called purist and elitist spewing virtue signalling that already bail out first months since it launched?
- Huge maps is plus, but don't make it too vehicle friendly. There's literally no stationary weapon, such as cannon to drive off ground vehicles or even flak to shoo some flies.
- Everybody gospeling about teamwork, balance, etc. Like I said before I play as an Assault and it will not change my playstyle, but will crippling gameplay further away on one side. Recon still happy camping in bush or a cliff and missing every shot, engineer still * their pants when they see vehicle and still drop ammo for themselves, medic will refuse to revive and that leave me an assault to work twice as hard and earn credits half as much, marching to flag and destroying vehicle with only C5. For everything.Including chopper.
- If this update irreversible, make it every class got access to "second tier gadget"
- If Recoilles M5 are 1st tier, add some M136 AT4 as 2nd tier.
- If FXM are 1st tier, give us some MANPADS.
- If ammo box or medical crate are 1st tier, 2nd tier should just ammo pouch or medical pouch.
- and so on and so forth, you know the idea.
I got 3 days ban infractions, dunno because of this post or the other.
Either way, I want to emphasize my thoughts as a summary from many floating opinions.
I personally think a good step for be for the developers just to put more classes, and then the next step would be to figure out how to organize them well...
Dear DICE, I personally think they should just do away with all the specialist heroes, but still I like where you're going.
First of all, the controller needs to re-modify the setting of the cross-pad down button switch to hang the tactical accessories, change back to the original one piece switch instead of the current long-press switch, and secondly。
you need to increase the crossplay option between Xbox and PS5, instead of simply turning off corssplay, console and PC play together, there will be many problems, which leads to many console players not playing 2042, or even going back to play Battlefield 5, because Battlefield 5 does not have PC players, PC players have too many cheaters.
As I understand it, the dull system of restrictions from the past was begged by whiners who call themselves the Community. Their tanks and helicopters were constantly blowing up, so they begged for this wretched system of restrictions. Now they can safely ride tanks and fly helicopters and terrorize noobs.
Personally, after playing with this long-outdated system that kills variability and creativity, I realized that I had almost lost interest in the game. Depending on randoms is not fun at all. It didn't and couldn't bring any teamwork. Especially since teamwork has never been in Battlefield.
In general, I am glad for you whiners from the Community that you now, occasionally playing, can not be afraid for your tanks and helicopters. Well, what of the fact that you ruined the game for thousands of players who played a lot. But you, a few dozen, are now fine. Good luck with your infrequent games.
There's no point in talking about things like Boris's useless turret or Zain's broken XM now when the basis of the game is broken by a stupid class system.
And the developers are good luck in finishing the game, they are great at it. And listen more to the self-styled Community, they will help you in this matter perfectly.
