The EA shareholders are designing the game, and it shows.
Unless I'm mistaken, the new progression system for mastery means that you can basically sit there, repair a vehicle, and get weapon unlocks. Why? Why not just reduce the amounts of xp needed to level up? Why even bother using the weapons at all at this point? Why did I spend hours with the PSR sniper when soon, I could just sit there and get free unlocks? I really hope I'm wrong with this, as why even use weapons at this point? Hell, why not just make the whole game Motorcross?
Also Golmud. I've heard people say that the map is being shrunk down. Some say that if you were in the outskirts, you weren't contributing to the match anyway so it doesn't matter. So, what? We should be grateful that the map has been shrunk to fit the poorly designed small map agenda of BF6?
It's not worked well so far, why would it work for Golmud? Do vehicles still not matter at all? They go out of bounds almost instantly on most maps, especially jets, so why is it being shrunk?
I'm reserving full judgement for when I see it play (I've uninstalled so won't be trying it until I get feedback from others that the game is improving).
New machete, new single gun, new gadget.
This isn't content. This is filler, that should've been in the game from the start, that we could earn from levelling up. Instead, it's drip fed, live service rubbish.
BF1 would give us several new maps and weapons at once. I don't buy a new BF Pro or season for a new shrunken map, single melee weapon and single gun. The previous gadgets were nerfed so badly that they became useless anyway.
And finally, there's very little to no communication between development and the players. There's a huge divide, and it really shows in the output. It feels like the shareholders, rich people who don't do gaming, are making the game. (AI generated stickers that we are being charged for, being a big indicator).
Some serious discussions need to be had about season 3, and better communication going forward as the gameplay across the board is in a really poor state, and I can only see it getting worse from here.
