The voice lines in BF2042 is the part that most apparantly reveal how disconnected game design is with how players will percieve the product.
Its like the analogy of a 45 year old dad showing up at a party with 20 year olds trying to be cool "Are we partying yet guys whoooo!" Could be fun though, but its funny, right?
Just my thoughts.

Agreed, the game turned out completely different from the way it was marketed. Remember all those gritty trailers conveying a post apocalyptic world with realistic looking soldiers?
Then the game launches and we get this instead.

I guess it's no more funny than the 20 year olds that have tried try to pick up on my 45 year old wife. ....but I get what you mean.
Yeah, I think the whole hero character thing degrades the experience and the cringe worthy lines they have don't help. If they wanted to part with the old formula of generic classes then they should have made a fully customizable experience where players could choose their facial features, race, color, gender, clothing / kit items, etc. Inclusiveness and diversity seem to be at the top of EA/DICE's priorities. What better way to celebrate that than giving the tools to the players to allow them to create characters that represent themselves as they want?
