What was the final straw that made you not like 2042?

So far the removal of 128p breakthrough. But I'm waiting to see what S1 brings, even if it's looking grim at this point (lol, 1 bloody map).

If S1 is a banger, I'll be back for a while. If it's as lame as it's looking like it will be right now, I'm done. Gold edition and everything, but I have better games to play without adding to DICE's active player count for this disaster of a failed product that's limping along with a severe laceration that DICE is seemingly uninterested in addressing.

specialist killed it for me in beta, and the fact that both teams look the same.

I mean its 2022 and both teams look the same in a FPS? who in their right mind thought that was ok?

Just further proof it was a BR title to start with.

Hazard zone announcement.

It showed how little they learned from firestorm's failure

Buying the game as advertised with full progression/ribbons/weekly missions across all modes only for them to take it away the week it launched...

I have liked the game since the start and still do.

Forced cross play

It’s fair to say there have been a number of things that I didn’t like:

 - having game-breaking bugs like no ADS after vehicle exit persist for months was a big one 

 - lack of server browser

 - the fact that joystick/flight stick support is not even on the radar yet

 - no effective way to counter constant pestering by helis (made even worse by limiting  the Bolte)

But the biggest thing right now for me is the horrible ground vehicle situation, made even worse by the last patch. The only abundantly available vehicles are easily countered light vehicles. There was already little chance of epic armored battles like we had in BF4 before the patch, but now, forget it! Don’t get me wrong, Not every map in BF4 had a ton of heavy vehicles, but many did. Hell, a few maps were even infantry-only, which I didn’t mind playing in a rotation because I knew I would get back to serious vehicle action at some point. Given the new map prospects here, I’ve given up hope. 

I guess I just miss “Battlefield” ☹️

EDIT: Joystick support is indeed in! I did not see listed anywhere and as a PC player, did not think to go into "CONTROLLER" sub-heading in the options to find it. Actually stoked about it. I have avoided flying so far because I can't fly for %$#! with Kb/mouse. Thanks to @Anobix for cluing me in!
