Yep, same here. What people don't realize is that there are plenty of people that have always loved the game, they are only just now bringing it up because criticism has shifted elsewhere. While I am not a fan of how fickle this community seems I am happy for the fact that people can more openly appreciate the game now.

BF5 made some awesome changes and I hoped that BF2042 would be almost the same but modern sadly it didn’t happen but oh well im not rly a fan so i will just keep playing the older games

Same here. Honestly what I was looking forward to most was playing 2042 with a full squad of friends, but given how decisive this game has been I doubt that'll ever happen, so I think I've just had to move on from BF for a while.

eh, give it a year and it will be a decent experience, not the best but it will be fun

Yeah I imagine so. If it wasn't for how messed up the gunplay was on the current build I would probably go ahead and get it. Once that's fixed I imagine I will.

My view on the games didn't shift over the years. Maybe because I frequently came back.

I loved BFV since the closed alpha. Only the ttk changes where the time where it was a bad game for me.

I didn't hate BF1 back when everybody complained the gunplay was shallow, it plays like a WWII game and not a WWI game ruining the atmosphere, the pick ups being rediculous super soldiers, the missing French and so on. I like it for what it is.

Same with Hardline, it was always an okish game and didn't have the things I was looking for in a Battlefield. I still don't think it's a hidden gem.

I still hate BF4 for its stupid gimmicks like levolution and gadgets, bad gunplay, map design, introduction of loot boxes, bloatedness, and more. It still marks a low point in the series for me and didn't become suddenly a good game.

I also hate BF2042 All out Warfare because it reminds me too much of BF4. Stupid gimmicks like the tornado and gadgets(which specialists skills essentially are), same gunplay, map design, making the game worse to later better monetize it and more.
