Why is game not free to play?
This sums up my post.

Do you have ANY idea what this game cost to produce???
Clearly not.
This is not a free-to-play title. It's a AAA I.P. (and I'll admit I say that with reservations given the performance of the day 1 release product).
If you want a "quality" game, you gotta pay the bucks.
If you think games like Apex and Fortnight are really FTP then you should spend some time researching the economics of these games.
They are not free.

A BF game? Not much...
You take the Frostbyte engine and the BF construction kit that goes with it. Then you click everything together what you want to have, a few new skins, 3D models, and a handful of much too fast and lovelessly cobbled together maps, and ready is the BF game.
You don't think it happens like that? Why are then in every game mechanic, in every BF always exactly the same bugs? In every Frostbyte Engine BF we always have exactly the same bugs in the same game mechanics. That's because the mechanics are so buggy in the kit. At DICE they don't even bother to fix the already 6x fixed bugs before release. You can not revive because the dead touches any object? The mechanics are so broken in the BF construction kit since BC2, and what exactly so in every BF after. Also the bug with the timer that you no longer come into the round. Also the bug that you have no weapon after reviving is rare... but so in the kit.
Coincidence? Ok, next bug, AA Stinger Bug. You aim at a helicopter, it ignites its flairs, and you can just shoot the stinger afterwards without it having to switch on, and it hits. Also the bug exists since there are stingers in BF. Almost every bug in the big 2042 bug list existed in every other BF!
AAA is only the advertising budget at DICE. They give a few hundred thousand dollars to each of the best-known streamers, who are then obviously bored and play the game. And only as long as they have to according to the contract. Or does anyone really believe that a Shroute would play BF2042 if he didn't get a bunch of money for it? That means AAA today, for quality that has not stood for a very long time.
However, there was already a F2P BF, and it was cruel "Battlefield Play4Free" because DICE * it up again, and extremely. Nobody talks about this game, but this was really by far the absolute low point for DICE and BF.
