Yup, refunds should have been an option but not much chance of that with ea. They'd rather string people along promising to "fix" the game when the fact is it would need a gigantic overhaul to turn it into a proper battlefield game, and as it seems they have about 2 people working on it thats not an option. It'll get some updates, maybe a few maps or updates to maps, besides that it's pretty much on life support with a dwindling player base that's will only continue to get smaller.

YEP 100% agree unless they get the designers who worked on BF3/BF4 back then this franchise is dead... I'd waited so long for this as well but this for me has killed it off! RIP

I've maybe 2000 - 3000 hours in BF3 / BF4 / BF1 / BFV and am still somewhat entertained by all of them to this day.
I've got less than 10 hours in BF2042 and am utterly bored of it, spent 45 mins last night on it and most of it walking in massive open spaces only to get sniped from 10 miles away before I saw any action.
It's now been uninstalled and I wont be returning to this. I wont call it a waste of time because in reality most gaming is exactly that but it is thoroughly unentertaining, frustrating and is in general a horrible experience from the 1st moment.
I mean what the hell were they thinking when they butchered the amazing soundtrack with what sounds like a pack of dying cats having their scrotums squeezed in a vice....who honestly heard that and thought "yes that does the soundtrack justice"...

Activision are earning 1.2 billion $ every 3 months from in-game micro transactions across Warzone, WOW and overwatch. EA management are expecting a similar return in investment from Battlefield. Which is why the specialists were introduced. There is no going back for them.
I hate EA with a passion. RIP Bullfrog
Fact is, management won't back down. They want FIFA ultimate team levels of return for their money. They don't GAF about the old Battlefield communities.

...and Anthem.
They're delusional If they think bf will get remotely close to those kinds of numbers, sooner micro transactions are killed off in games the better.
worked fine in world of tanks, just needs premium ammo
As I said, this micro transaction **** needs to end. Its amazing how online has become so detrimental to games, it gave us multiplayer, but also gave publishers ways to milk gullible morons out of money that can far exceed the cost of the game.

The genie is out there is no going back. At least some of us get to play free games funded by whales.
if they could get away with it it’s still something they’d do, that’s probably the goal at some point.
It's safe to say no one will be pre-ordering again without comprehensive reviews first. It's a shame as BF is probably my all time fav gaming series ever...

I don't think we'll see another "full" release of BF in the next few years if anything I can see them going for some kind of Free-to-Play model - either a dedicated Battle Royale style like Warzone or something based on the Portal Mode - they do have a lot of really good back-content across a load of eras (WW1/WW2/Vietnam/Modern, etc) which would let people pick and play what they want.
