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.
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.
