Its sad because this feels like shell of a once proud franchise. I feel Battlefield and DICE will go the way of the dodo bird all because of greed from EA; I sense it happening just like what happened Westwood Studios, Pandemic Studios, Visceral Games...
This game truly shows how tone deaf Dice has become. They are chasing trends and alienating their audience.
This has been a complete and utter mess, it feels like they're trying to destroy the franchise; the performance has been absolutely awful, the UI is a confusing unintuitive mess, the maps feel souless and uninspiring, they're is only 7 maps for the 2021 ERA and like 6 maps of the previous entries in portal so not a lot of content, they don't have very many play modes and without a campaign to focus strickly on multiplayer and it feels this empty and is this broken is criminal and there is no excuse for it,
But the most glaring issue was them adding Specialists, it was clearly them just trying to chase the trend and its glaring when you play. It was
a foolish decision as Battlefield has always been about specific roles coming together for a common goal and those roles each had pros and cons which mean working as a team felt synergized and unique; it was such a special feature they had that no one else did and now you have nothing but every man for themselves.
Oh and they removed the scoreboard for some reason.
Who the heck thought that was a good idea.
I'll just stick with Halo Infinite as that has been a tremendous surprise compared to this train wreck.
