Yeah I was a diehard Battlefield fan starting from Bad Company 2. I logged thousands of hours between that and BF3/4/1. BF5 was quite boring and my playtime tapered off drastically. By 2142, I’d purchased the game but have only played maybe 20 minutes of it.
I don’t think it’s solely on Dice as I don’t play many games at all now (only Horizon Forbidden West and now Elder Scrolls), but they surely haven’t given me a reason to choose their game over any other.
I really didn’t care for stuff like Battle Royal and it seems like they really changed what the game is starting with BF1. It feels more like an arcade game than something you can really build skills with now. Gone are the crazy things like parachuting out of a jet and blowing up a chopper with a stinger missile and it really bugged me that there were no choppers due to the WWI setting of BF1.

BC2 is a great game but I think it’s funny you say the game got more arcade
They said the same thing about bad company simplifying battlefield to play on consoles.
but I do think they should have leaned more on destruction, environments and strategy
I very much enjoyed BF5, but Dice constantly fucked it up until I gave up on it entirely.
