#1 - Native PC Flight/HOTAS Support
#2 - M17+ Rated Game with a equally rated Chat with optional parental control abilities for younger audience. Our players can scream out language, why can't we type out the same language? Re-enable Global Chat.
#3 - Squad Leader Management for trolls and players who do not want to play as a squad and cause issues for those who do want to focus play as a squad.
#1 - Details - in 20 years, this is the first PC BF Title that does not natively support Flight setups, my X56 still does not fully work with 2042, and it actually locks up the game when I try to even bind controls to the working half. Yes, its a HOTAS Setup with 2 individual inputs. no other game has this problem. I notice that key files present in every other game I play that natively supports my X56 HOTAS are missing from the BF2042 Directory, how hard is it to add them? Well, I can't add them because then EAC and Origin will see them as unauthorized files and think I'm cheating/hacking, and I get banned. now why would I do that?
I should not be forced into using 3rd Party Software just to even attempt to get my X56 HOTAS to work with BF2042 ( which it still doesn't ) vJoy and Joystick Gremlin don't work with the X56 anyways, so I'm absolutely screwed out of flying in 2042. If i even attempt to try to bind controls to the Stick half of my X56, the game hard locks, and i cannot do anything past that point, but CTRL+ALT+DEL and forcibly close BF2042, unplug my X56 and cant even experience the flight aspect of 2042.
No, I cannot fly KBM or Controller, I'm 100% Accustomed to using HOTAS or a flight stick based on RL Applications of flying aircraft. I have spent countless times and hours worth of trying to adapt to KBM/Controller and it ruins not only the muscle memory of my hands and fingers, but its no where near as precise as an actual flight stick. Now, I know that DICE made claims that its unfair to Console Players for PC to have flight sticks and HOTAS, well, that argument is actually false, there ARE games on Consoles - Ace Combat being the most known game - that support console proprietary HOTAS And Flight stick based controllers so that argument is completely moot. Consoles CAN use Flight Sticks and have games that support it. Why cant 2042 support that and then also natively support it like it has for the last 20 years on PC?
#2 - Game Rating should equally allow players access to equivocally rated content INCLUDING chat commentary. Yes, I agree for the younger audience parental controls should be an option for parents who chose to allow their children to play a M17+ rated game, and to lock them out of M17+ Rated Chat Commentary by a coded chat lockout that enables the censor filter. Our own characters scream out curse words and crude phrases, why should we as players be restricted from this? You could not even say NOOB in BFV it was so censored and restricted, and that's absolutely ridiculous. Global Chat was not 100% Toxic and negative. RL Warfare includes taunting the enemy via written and electronically communicated messages to get them to slip up or challenging the enemy to be at a specific place and engage in warfare.
In BFV and even BF4 alone, player characters would scream out obscenities along the lines of " Oh god im getting f'ed up the !@* over here!" when shot at...... yes, as recent as BFV! But we as players are ABSOLUTELY restricted from not even halfway making chat commentary to our team or globally because of political correctness and censorship. How or why does that have any logic in it?
Good game conduct also came with Global Chat - telling the other team on their win - GG, Good Games!, or complimenting a player on the enemy team for a really nice maneuver or a completely insane shot from 1000m out, its not all negative on Global Chat.
#3 - Its absolutely unfair that if a Squad is in their element and some random person gets put in and starts trolling people over VOIP, or blocking them, throwing smoke grenades and other stupid stuff.... its unfair to the already established squad that the squad leader CANNOT remove the random person, rather, that entire squad has to disband and reform a new squad. When will this be fixed?
