Edit: "Newcomer"? Maybe that means to the forums. I am a long time Battlefield player. I played Battlefield 2 on a shared computer as a child, and grew up to play the full lifecycle of BF3 and BF4 on my own PC. Finally another Modern warfare game comes, and here are my complaints.
Imagine buying a game for $100 and learning that your community (the hardcore community) has become the ugly step-sister. DICE/EA has decided that the Hardcore player-base does not deserve 100% up-time Hardcore Conquest servers; they decided to rotated 2 horrible game modes in with it as a "Round Robin" rotation. I have 6 of the 9 or 10 challenges to be completed with vehicles, while this is not the Conquest week. I am going to pass through this week with failure of it's completion because they have a mismatched game-mode to challenge relationship.
I can't join Portal servers for some unbeknownst reason: after the map's load bar, I just get a black screen with the BF6 logo in the middle and it kicks me back to the main menus. This is after waiting for 5 people in the queue before me to pass through, so roughly 2-4 minutes of waiting just to go back to the main menu.
We deserve dedicated servers for paying for your video game. Don't relegate me to playing custom servers with awful settings. I'm coming to the conclusion that this company deserves $0 from me anymore, and I hope that many many people follow in my footsteps and hurt this company's revenue as much as possible, because I want them to fix this. I want to keep playing their games and giving them money. In this state, they don't deserve my contribution.
It's comical seeing more and more of the player-base showing controllers over keyboards. People are leaving, and rightly so; good riddance. Wake up EA.
