Ok... its time we had a talk as a community

Well, I'd say the root of the problem is the developers themselves. They deliberately moved away from the tactical, team-oriented gameplay that made Battlefield unique, and it's pretty obvious they were trying to appeal to the CoD crowd instead.

As a result, the game is missing so many features that previous Battlefield titles had, features that naturally encouraged teamwork instead of forcing everyone into a mindless run-and-gun experience. It's honestly frustrating to see how much of Battlefield's identity has been stripped away in the process.

Well said, and unfortunately it seems like the majority of the community are happy with it, as the bulk of the ones sticking around are from this mass migration from COD.  

I recently made a post on Reddit about a change to the open weapons system where you only get 80 attachment points if you want to use another classes ( what should be class locked ) signature weapon.  

People were so upset about having to either use another weapon type than what they like or having to make a weaker build of their favourite weapon on another class.    

Unfortunately so many of them are too soft and don't fully grasp what this game is actually all about, which is why we've ended up with mess described in the main post.   

Even the recent post I made to update signature weapon buffs Signature weapon improvements concept. | EA Forums - 13545108 wouldn't go down well on Reddit ( Which I will do in a bit ) because people would be upset that I'm suggesting they select a more role appropriate weapon and play their class properly. 

Can we as a community fix these issues?

No, I don't think so personally, but I'm a pessimist at the best of times. All of these issues are things I've experienced in the 10 years I've been playing this series. While there is a lot that developers can do to encourage people to play as a team or fulfil their class roles, there will always be a large number of people who either aren't interested in being part of a team or just don't want to learn how to play their class roles well.

Absolute nonsense. It was always like that, because it's human nature. No amount of rewards for actual teamwork changed that. The only thing developers can do is to make balanced maps that won't allow K/D ***rs group at the bottleneck and shoot one another ad nauseam (hello, BF4). Majority of players cares only about their stats and "fun" right here and now. This is the sole reason, it was, is, and will be like that. Just accept it and try to do your best.

What exactly is "absolute nonsense"? The fact that they removed so many of the systems that actually encouraged teamwork, just like we had in previous Battlefield games?

KD players have always existed. They've been part of Battlefield since BF2, BF3, BF4... that's nothing new, and it's definitely not the real reason why teamplay has declined.

The real problem is that the developers stripped away feature after feature that naturally supported cooperation between players. For God's sake, in BF6 you can't even see the names of the people you're sitting in a vehicle with. If you know what I'm referring to, that's a perfect example of how much Battlefield has drifted away from what made it special in the first place.

They made the game into another generic FPS game instead of battlefield.  corridor maps, "fast paced action" jump, slide, jump, slide auto-aim, etc.  Someone even said "progress" past being a BF game.  You can tell the market EA wants.  Please PIF get invovled in the content at EA.  It's the only hope to fix it.  

What is missing IS the community, Clans/Platoons where ppl play together, learn from others and actualy care about the team mates they play with.

Agree

This is funny, while agree with you that team play is no longer a thing. The reason is the real BF community stopped playing this trash game. The only folks you see are 12 year old console players and bots. Not much team play there. EA has already given up on this one as they are clueless and certainly does not care. Everyone I know is waiting on the new COD, as nobody is playing this failure anymore.

Well some still have hope or they would not be on this forum 😁

Like i told my friend, when we are done grinding GTA, BF6 might have enough big conquest maps and the return of Platoons and presistence servers, it would be fun to start the clan back up and try to get the others back..
