@Coursaire2 The Devs vision for this game must have included cataracts because it’s pretty poor.
This game had a lot more promise mid-life. Although there was less content at that time the logic of the gameplay and the mechanics were FAR better than what they are now.
While the single player campaigns are spot on and excellent; All of the multiplayer modes of this game are so clumsy most fans play not because it’s good but because we’re loyal to the SW franchise.
The Devs had a history of not listening to the community. When many of us fought HARD to get them to fix a major logic issue with blocking & dodge in saber combat it was such an uphill battle to get them to understand. It became clear that their ideas for how to balance open world gameplay were lackluster.
the current, poor, state of BF 2 lead EA to end up giving it away at end of life and contributed to very poor buy rate for Squadrons.
Look, 10 year old Skyrim just released an “Anniversary Edition” which was basically a mod pack for $20 and people are buying it but BF 2 had to basically be given away. That’s not exactly the mark of success and if DICE ever wanted to try and regain any reputation as a solid studio they’d at, the very least (now that 2042 is released) commit a couple of Devs to outreach to the BF 2 community in an effort to identify and fix the few most priority issues with this title. At least let their SW contract end on a note of redemption rather than this.
