An honest fan perspective, Missing the classic battlefield scale and soul

I’m writing this because I’ve been a huge fan of this series for as long as I can remember. But honestly, looking at the state of the game 6 months after launch, I felt the need to share some honest thoughts not as a critic, but as someone who truly loves what Battlefield used to be.

Right now, to be blunt, it feels like the game is having an identity crisis. Here’s what’s on my mind:

The Scale Problem: Battlefield was always about those massive, breathtaking maps. Lately, it feels like I’m playing an arena shooter—almost like CS2. Everything is so cramped that I’m often dying to a grenade before I can even take ten steps. That legendary "combined arms" chaos is missing.

Where are the vehicles: One of the best things about this franchise was looking up and seeing a real player in a jet, or planning a strategic approach because there’s a tank guarding a ridge in the distance. Now, that tactical layer feels gone. We need that interaction between air, land, and infantry back.

The mechanics: I really miss the "weight" of the gameplay. Specifically the bullet drop Having to actually calculate a long-range sniper shot was what made the gunplay so rewarding. Simplifying these things makes the game feel a bit hollow.

I’m not saying this to be harsh; I’m saying it because I want to love this game. I want those "Only in Battlefield" moments back where strategy and scale actually matter.

Please, bring back the soul of Battlefield. Don't let it turn into just another fast-paced shooter. We’re still here, waiting for the game we fell in love with.
