I know you guys like to imitate COD. All right, do like COD, just release the same game every year just with different maps and small visual improvements.
The game was ready since BF3. Is Frostbite so complicated that it's easier to make a new game than to recycle and improve the old one?
Apart from BF4 which was basically BF3 2.0 Dice have always created fresh experiences with every release.
Every release has its own unique identity and I hope they keep doing that.
I don't want a new BF3 / BF4 every year or two, that would be very dull.

I dont think, that most of the people would love a simple reskin. But more like a BF3/4-themed BF on a new engine. Imagine a setup like BF2042 (BF4 theme), with gunplay, custromization, destruction and movement from BFV, immersion (visuals, sound design) from BF1 and map and class design from BF3/4.
I can only speak for myself: What i "demand" is simple: Don't reinvent everything. Ask the customers what was bad and what was good. Build upon the "good" things, screw the bad things and create some interesting stories every 3-5 years. I bet, that Dice would be a easy cash-cow for EA, but "marketing" says: "We need Battle Royal and heroes", although EA already got Apex Legends.
Personally, I prefer the releases that are grounded in reality. Current day equipment, or historical. I get that we weren't going to get another WW1 or WW2 release any time soon but I would have liked them to revisit the Vietnam war properly but I guess these days they aren't too keen to paint anyone as the bad guys, hence the multinational team of specialists against another multinational team of the same specialists. I want real weapons and equipment, with at least semi accurate performance and damage. With this release being set in the future they can do what they want really although the absence of thermal sighting seems to stick out as something you would assume would be commonplace in this fictional future setting even if it would be massively overused and cause issues.
Not every single thing needs to be changed, but I appreciate a team who tries to keep things fresh a heck of a lot more than those who are happy with everything remaining stagnant for as long as possible.
I think people are more taken back by the outright removal of certain features more than EA trying something different - I just hope the community can (constructively) work with the dev team to salvage Season 1
EA with BF2042 is cannibalizing on Apex's player base. Right now 2042 directly competes with Apex at a first glance.
I don`t understand, why EA won`t resurrect Battlefield Heroes in order to directly compete with Fortnight. Apex would be a perfect middle ground to compete with CoD. Modern Battlefield could potentially compete with itself as it used to be instead of killing itself on the altar of Identity Crysis, chasing the current never-ending trends, BF was enough innovative back in the day.
I would love to see 2143 at some point but it has to be as fleshed out and polished to the bone as BF1. So basically no room for half-measures, cringe, and a "bad" electronic soundtrack.
Because they are out to make a quick buck by chasing trends
Them trying to reinvent the wheel wouldn't be such a problem if they didn't keep adding more corners to it.
But if I had to make an educated guess, a lot of it is the more long-time employees quitting the company, and the less experienced replacements are left doing their best to make a facsimile of previous titles, because the Frostbite engine breaks all the old assets every time they update it.
