Verdict after a year?
I have been playing for the first time since release. Back then the game was simply unplayable. I'm on playstation 5. Altough the game has improved alot (scoreboard, mechanics, hitreg...) there are...

@cornybbq2 That’s a really interesting idea. 2042 tried to capture that magic with Portal and came up short, so it’s clear it would be tough to do right.
@ATFGunr I can't imagine it would be tough, its not like they have to get inspiration from somewhere. Just rework the best old maps (portal did an amazing job reworking the old maps) and impliment the best gameplay mechanics from the newer games (like incoming medic, change scope on the run,...) and build a traditional battlefield game around it with ribbons, medals, weapon unlock etc...
- @cornybbq2 The map part is likely far easier than the mechanics. The Frostbite engine is very different than the previous ones, and in some ways is the reason the game looks both good (pretty), and as bad (contrast between background and soldiers).
- @ATFGunr i remember battlefield 3 running on frostbite engine? or am i horribly wrong here? 🤔
Well there's one easy verdict I can come to after 1 year.
A certain section of the community seems to be addicted to bashing the current battlefield game every chance they get.
If enough of them bash it they can literally kill off a game but if there's not enough of them then the game can survive.
However to negate this EA could go back to the premium business model.
That way it doesn't matter if the doom merchants attack the game and smear its reputation, which they have done twice in a row now, us battlefield fans will still get a longer lifecycle and more content.
