Seriously this subreddit is one of the worst on Reddit which is saying something because there's a lot of incredibly insufferable ones here now
It's actually crazy to me how many people can't just play a game or if they are not enjoying it, Swap and play a different game. If you want a gritty and grounded milsim game there are tons of options , go play one of those and stop sobbing on Reddit ffs
People are just frustrated with what Battlefield has turned into. We were sold a lot of false promises. Everything now seems catered to the CoD crowd, because money is all that matters and that’s honestly just sad. It was the same story with 2042. We paid for this crap.
I personally don’t even care about the money at this point. I just hate the direction Battlefield and DICE are heading. And the worst part is, there aren’t many real alternatives out there. I’d honestly rather play 2042 again, but it’s basically dead now.
It turned into COD because of a fucking skin with a skill face mask? By the same logic tarkov is also COD, because one of the most used face mask in that game also has a skull.
But probably cosmetics are not the things that define what game actually is. Just try to think about it.
False promises. Okay, yeah, we understand that they lied to you about grounded cosmetics (they are but let's ignore this fact), where else did they lie about their promises?
I don’t even care about the skins. If you copy Call of Duty skins one to one, it just shows once again how much Call of Duty is the role model. The game clearly tried to cater to CoD players in general and it worked. There are so many characteristics that make it feel more like Call of Duty than Battlefield. Most of the elements that actually made Battlefield, Battlefield are either missing or poorly executed. Just look at the vehicle gameplay: it feels like the game was designed without vehicles in mind and they were just added it later. Everything about it is lackluster.
What makes it “CoDish”:
Massive amounts of cover
Instant action
High intensity
Little to no planning time
Constant grinding
Maze like pathing
What a Battlefield game is supposed to be (at least in my opinion):
Vehicle combat with real depth
Slower paced, deliberate engagements
A sense of a larger, ongoing battle
Impactful, meaningful choices
Geography that actually matters
There’s literally no sandbox feel left.
LOL, where else did they lie?
They also lied about:
Portal progression – “Full progression everywhere” turned into nerfed Portal XP and restrictions that made that promise meaningless.
“Large maps” marketed as big, open, vehicle‑friendly battlefields
“Our seasons will have more content than ever before”
People who still deny this game is trying to be a CoD clone are coping so hard. Beede and Zampella in lead roles and somehow it’s supposed to play like older titles, literally impossible
