Therein lies the problem, expectation.... Everyone expected an updated BF 4, most people that created BF4 are long gone. We are now in the 3rd game since BF4. It was released in late October 2013, so over 8 years ago..... Would we not expect some changes? Did we feel it would look and be the same except with updated graphics and new maps? Don't look backwards, look forwards, this game keeps getting better. BF4 is a great game I enjoyed it, it took a year after it's release to make it playable. I know our community loves BF4 and we have a lot of servers, that is cool. -bZ-'s name is prominent in the Battlefield community partly because of that. But, look at BF2042 as an updated version of the franchise, set in the future. No main scoreboard true, no VOIP true. What I see is a team focused game without the distractions of worrying what someone trash talks in chat or worse, or worrying about someone's high ping, or..... maybe calling someone out as a hacker because their K/D is too good. It takes the toxicity out and leaves it to the action in game. For me it is cool to use Portal mode to set up a server that I can set the parameters up for and invite people in. There will be more updates, there have now been 3 in pretty quick succession that have made good improvements. I am sorry that 2042 is not what you were looking for and I know you don't want to spend your hard earned money on something you wont play, I hear you. Coming from a Battlefield veteran: I like the game and have a lot of fun playing it. Games like this now a days are unfortunately released with a lot of issues and we find issues for the devs in some cases, but this game was released in better shape than BF4, it is just different. Happy shooting, I would hope to catch you online some day. Cheers
