Vehicle spam is knee capping your user base

Dear Dice,


As a for profit Business who’s goal is maximum revenue and profitability what level of trouncing by your competitors do you need to experience before you realize that BF should not revolve around Helicoper and Tank spam ? 


Do your competitors have to sell 50% more copies, 100% more copies, 300% more copies ? What is the number ? 

The inaction on helicopter spam is simply absurd, these Ace Combat stars who once they are without their pathetic crutch get trounced should no longer be catered to, their eventual crying drown out by higher sales and a more healthy, stable user base. 

Your game is dying, and you can save it.

    "Just so you are aware, this is the Battlefield franchise." - Ah, that old chestnut. 

    Weird that, I could have sworn past titles didn't suffer from all the below - 

    1, No infantry based maps. Examples - Donya Fortress · Operation 925 · Scrapmetal · Ziba Tower - Metro - Locker. (All off the top of my head. Maybe I just dreamt it). 

    2, Infantry games on rotation. Some weeks they're available other weeks they're not. What are players supposed to do? Just stop playing and wait weeks/months until it rotates back again?

     

    3, No server browser & no persistent servers hosting infantry games. What about player made portal servers you may ask? Expect limited XP, matchmaking issues and a rule set you may not enjoy. 

    4, Lack of compartmentalisation in all 2042 maps, flat maps, limited cover. This wasn't the case in other BF titles. Infantry and Vehicles could coexist with no issues. 

    5, Rush. Still has vehicles. Still suffers from all the problems in reason number 3. See above. 

    The only infantry games that are enjoyable and are actually designed accordingly for such gameplay, with full XP, are on a rotation and are on all the (keywords) - pre 2042 maps.   

    Pretty much destroys that "this is the Battlefield franchise" line. 


    None of those points that you make are reason for further removing vehicles [where there are less of them in 2042 than in basically any other BF game that I can think of]. The answer is in the design/maps/and other issues that you laid out.

  • @TheOperat1onThanks to ret4rds  like you now we only have 1 heli and 2 tanks per team in a 128 player server, sorry but grab your garbage opinion and throw it in the trashcan, go and play call of duty instead.

  • @Anobix

    I don’t recall anyone including myself and the OP mention anything about further removing vehicles.

    What was mentioned was “catered to” & subject - “vehicle spam” (see title).
