Players are afraid, of communicating in-game!
First thoughts:
Less arcade, more destructible everything and stop with Polaris bulldozer quads that smash buildings better than a tank. Make better maps and stop making interns do all the heavy lifting. And try consolidating the Battlefield labs team to the same office, or at least the same continent....There's so much hand-off going internally, no wonder EA, Dice and the other Devs fix 2 things and break 10 more. Simplify and focus. Do better for the players. The track this game is on will destroy it. I would hate to see that happen after playing Battlefield for going on 24 years now.......
Oh, and fix the joystick support for throttle (IE: Logitech 3d pro based sticks), better maps for flying, add some propeller aircraft (would slow them down, add maneuverability and FUN), add ships like we used to have in BF1942.
That said, stop kicking/banning people off an NC17 game!
Ive been asking players "Why so quiet/ No one wants to use chat in-game or even Mic in-game anymore?" and the response EVERY TIME? "We are afraid of getting kick/banned!" Why punish players for using in-game tools that are supposed to be encouraged for team play?
This ban thing is out of control.
