I Left Call of Duty for Battlefield — Don’t Make Me Leave Again

To the Developers: This Isn’t Feedback — It’s a Final Warning

I left Call of Duty years ago when it stopped being about war and turned into some esports fashion show. Laser guns, pro wrestler bundles, weed-themed skins — it became a joke. So I came to Battlefield. I found BF4, and in it, I found what a war game should be.

Classes had meaning.
Maps had chaos and flow.
And above all — you felt like a soldier, part of something bigger.

Now you want to throw all that away.

Weapon freedom across all classes? We already saw how that went in 2042 — the worst-reviewed Battlefield in the franchise’s history. You ditched identity, teamwork, and tactics in favour of “player freedom,” and it backfired massively. Now you’re trying to sell us the same idea again, with a new coat of paint?

What’s the point of bringing back classes if they’re just cosmetic shells?
What’s the point of Recon if Support can slap on a sniper rifle and do the same job?
Where’s the teamplay? The roles? The balance?

Battlefield doesn’t need gimmicks. It doesn’t need neon clown suits, anime skins, or Twitch-ready loadouts with Seth Rollins as a “combat expert.” This is supposed to be a war game, not a Fortnite wannabe. I don’t want to “express myself.” I want to play my role, with my squad, in an actual battle.

I want to be the Engineer holding off a tank rush.
I want to be the Medic dragging my team back into the fight.
I want to be the Recon spotting for artillery, not running around with an LMG.

That’s what makes Battlefield Battlefield — not skins, not broken meta loadouts, not trying to copy CoD’s mistakes from five years ago.

Here are the facts:

Battlefield 2042’s launch was a disaster, and you only started to win players back when you reintroduced the class system.

BF1 and BF4 still have active communities because they respected the core Battlefield identity.

Your most loyal players — the ones who stuck through the bugs, the balance issues, the EA meddling — are telling you again, you’re going the wrong way.

And here’s the part that hurts to say:
If you don’t change course, Battlefield will be dead to me when this game launches.

I already had to walk away from one franchise I loved when it stopped respecting what it was.
That’s how I found Battlefield — and it gave me years of memories and real friends.
Don’t make me do that again.

We don’t want to play as esports mascots.
We want to play as soldiers, in a squad, with roles that matter — in a battlefield that feels alive.

Give us Battlefield. Not another copycat.
