I wonder why did they take those paths, they are really stupid to be honest.

The scoreboard is present now, thats ok,, but the chat (to the other team) is disabled by default, so almost everyone does not know about it.

Chat to all is a really important thing to online games, it should be ON by default!

Those and many other decisions were likely made because up to a point too late in the development this was going to be a Battle Royale. BR games don't have scoreboards, cross-chat, etc. So many signs point to that, or they expected Hazard Zone to be the entire game, but couldn't finish the development (or make it fun enough) and had to rush out a CQ and BT mode with far too many players and very poor maps, that again, would have been _fine_ on a BR game, but not a Battlefield title.
