      You don't understand humans. We generally like new experiences, it activates more neurons in our brains. It's why a lot of people like generating AI music but no one really enjoys listening to it, it reminds us of stuff we've already heard. Same reason why movie studios don't slightly change The Godfather and release it to massive acclaim every year, we've been there plenty, its old news. The same applies to video games, if we're spending our time or money on something, we want to have a new experience. We don't want to be constantly reminded of a game we liked 10 years ago. Like look at the first map in this video, its incredibly obvious the devs were looking at Operation Firestorm when designing the map assets. I don't want to play a game that even has the same map design as something I put 1000 hours into. I can guarantee that the next Battlefield game, regardless of its reception, will try more new things than this game. Because the developers at DICE weren't tasked by their boss with copying another game, they were tasked with making something new. If this game cost 70 dollars, it would be reviewed terribly, it only gets a pass for being free.

      @@middaymeds "We generally like new experiences", yeah, right, explains an awful lot why people complain when things change.
      BF didn't have any real changes in ages, they watered it down starting with BF3 and essentially made the same game over and over again with minimal changes aside of "WW2/WW1/Modern/Future, that's a hard argument against "wanting changes" already.
      This game gets praised because it does what loads of AAA games should've done for a long time now: Go free 2 play because they're selling microtransactions either way.
      Not to mention that it had a by far better launch than any BF game in most aspects, which should already give you to think about DICE in general. I personally didn't buy a BF game for full price in a long time aside of massive sales where you get the full package for like 5 bucks, simply because they drop to that price by the time they're worth picking up and seen a ton of fixes to begin with.

    jack, if you want to use a secondary gun in any vehicle you have to swap seats by probably clicking your f1/f2/f3/f4 keys

    When I was picked for the BF2042 Playtest, one of my first feedbacks was the lack of Fortification feature, and how it would've been a good feature to keep since the maps we tried out were completely lacking cover and defense positions for objectives. If the game had released with Fortifications, it would've probably been a much better experience.
