@NazT55The lore is lazy developers? Cut and paste until the maximum object count is reached. Lazy & uninspired. This is what happens when the leadership of a design team is absent, then they run out of time and release a game 9 months too early and pretend it was all part of the plan. God forbid you have a bus with blown out windows you can climb through, or a guard hut. Why are containers all over Renewal? Tipped over train cars and a railway track would be cool. Jesus really they have so many games in the past that were immersive, and cool, and fun… and 2042 has invincible containers. Remnants of a tank battle with 20 hulks on both sides randomly placed between two points. Crashed airliner. So many choices. Dang.

I think its less about lazy developers and more about greedy executives, board members, and shareholders. They don't see a clear path to exploitive monetization tactics with this franchise without massive backlash, so they barebones the budgeting. Instead of spending the money to hire and retain adequate number of top talent, and do all the required creative to design new art work and assets we get stripped out structures with no finishing pass and tons of re-used assets. All of the work they've done to "fix" the base maps has been with BF4 assets (obviously modified for the new engine, etc.)
