Dice please wake up !

I’ve been a fan of the Battlefield series (starting from Bad Company 2), and what you’re doing now, dear developers, is terrible.

1. First – the quality of the content you release is awful. You try to fix some problems and end up creating new ones. Where is your QA department? Who is actually checking the content before release?

2. Second – your efforts and decisions are clearly focused only on squeezing as much money as possible out of players by selling more and more microtransactions, while attention to detail and respect for the community are completely missing. Just look at your latest Nightfall event: you locked the new weapon in such a way that it’s impossible to unlock it by simply playing and enjoying the game. You force players either to wait 3 weeks or to pay. Just remember the PREMIUM in BF3… it was fantastic, that’s what you should be aiming for.

3. Third – the community is loudly telling you that the game already has enough small and closed maps, and is asking for classic Battlefield-style maps, where vehicles and infantry can interact and be balanced properly. Where you can fly jets and not die instantly on the airfield (hello, Blackwell Fields… by the way, you still can’t even expand the playable area for air vehicles on that map: as soon as you take off, you’re almost out of bounds. How is that possible?). Right now there are only two maps where you can more or less fly jets – Mirrak Valley and Operation: Firestorm – and that’s very sad. Where are the naval maps? Where are the winter maps?

The whole US vs. PAX Armata conflict line is done extremely poorly. The idea is good, but why did you present it so badly and blandly in the single-player? The player doesn’t understand the depth of the conflict, so there’s no real immersion. Remember BF3 and BF4 — there was a clear division of factions and it was obvious why the conflict existed and what everyone was fighting for.

Another point: you had a huge player base from Eastern Europe where most people speak Russian, and you still dared not to add Russian language support. Is this the “freedom” we are all striving for? Is this your idea of respect for the community?

Next, you’ve created a decent RedSEC. Why is there no proper support for it? Why do players still not have Ranked? How is that even possible? Isn’t it obvious that the only thing that can keep players in a game like this long-term is competition and a proper ranked system? This is very strange and very disappointing.

And instead of enriching the game with meaningful content and not letting it die, instead of listening more carefully to community requests and protests, you’re preparing an event… with motorcycles and a Red Bull collaboration. My god… this is just absurd.

I love Battlefield and I want this game to thrive and develop in the RIGHT and MEANINGFUL direction.

Thank you for your attention. I hope you read this post and take appropriate action.
