With all of the disagreement concerning the 5.2.2 update I thought this article was interesting given its stance on speaking your mind. While I think everyone who paid for this game should have their say concerning changes I also think thinks should be kept a bit more civil towards the devs. I mean, be upset and all if you have to but some of the posts here and on reddit border on being downright threatening and silly. Have a good one all. https://www.exclusivelygames.com/gamers-are-finally-getting-tired-of-developers-crap-and-thats-a-good-thing/
Maybe some of the comments are so harsh just because people strongly dislike their supplier to remotely destroy the product they have purchased from him 1 year ago.
And this is exactly what happened here.
I do not say that I agree with threatening. But I can understand all reactions "above" this.
After quiting for a few weeks, I did come back to see if the patches would grow on me, however, I only find myself playing enough to complete the Tides of War. Maybe it's just the hope that they will revert between chapters 5 and 6, or perhaps it's my want to finish things that I start, but either way, the game definitely isn't as enjoyable anymore. The update was enough to force me to try other games though. I used to play at least 4 or 5 times a week, but find myself only playing once a week nowadays. I have since purchased modern warfare, but ironically find myself playing GTA V and Skyrim more than the both of these. I'm really not sure if there will be a reason for me to actually play the game in between chapters.
still no announcement of reverting nor of an hardcore mode..
since 5.2. I spend more time in the forums nowadays then Im playing the game.. ;/ @Braddock512 @PartWelsh You said in another thread you ll meet the team. Did this already happen and did you address all the complains? We d like to know if there are any news of a roll back or a big change or even plans for a hardcore mode .. since we have those bullet sponges now..
my hopes start fading away....
@wildbam DICE just returned to work this week so they are most likely looking at the telemetry data and feedback first before deciding on a course of action.
Ahh the mythical telemetry data. The source of all knowledge about why this franchise went from having identity and a certain level of quality to...game as a service model, offering early access game experience with a AAA+ production pricetag.
BlindChance in this case the telemetry data will show DICE how many people stopped playing post 5.2 which is the Churn data that drove the first TTK change and resulted in its subsequent reversion as well. Paired with the rather vocal feedback across multiple social channels and DICE will have a good idea of where the community is at both verbally and in practice.
When you roll out a patch like this shows that Dice dont know any thing about there player base.
Another good article. While playing a match earlier tonight I was thinking about some of the things in this article. At one point I actually said out loud, This just isn't fun. Why am I playing? It isn't the ttk change cause I really wasn't having fun with the old ttk. Heck I hadn't played in months before the Pacific maps dropped. But I still wanted to play cause its Battlefield ya know? I haven't been playing for as long as some of the vets here. I came across Battlefield after being bored to death of cod one year. The game that hooked me was bfbc2. I still remember my first game after all this time. I kept getting killed by this helicopter and spawned back as recon and my first shot took the pilot out and as the helo was falling I watched the two riders bail and their parachutes opened and I thought, wow! And I was hooked. Whatever magic that game had, and bf3 and bf4, and even bf1 to some extent had, bfv doesn't have it. At least not for me.

So true. BF V simply is not fun at all. It's frustrating, unbalanced and down right aggravating. The final nail to the coffin was 5.2 TTK changes.
Disheartening, but I feel what this guy is saying.
I agree with every point he makes -I think I've said it in earlier posts. Battlefield is a sandbox game that rewards smart playing, not just close quarters shootfests for maximum kills.
hell, in BC2 you couldn't even check your kills/deaths mid game - only score - and had to wait to the end of round. I was dissapointed when they brought it into BF3.
Funnily enough - the only other game I play is PUBG (and in the last two weeks, Hell let loose - to try and fill the Battlefield-shaped hole)
I've never quit a BF title since BC2. I have my lounge set up specifically for the theatric experience only a BF game can provide. But since 5.2, I feel like I'm playing Destiny with WW2 skins.
It's just not fun. It's not engaging. I die and then check my phone for 3 minutes between respawning - there is just no love any more - made worse by still wanting to play - and realising it just sucks now.

Totally agree. Threatening comments won't help and aren't fair. However we're entitled to feel annoyed since the game was improving just at the point this unneessary ttk change went live. A total change of weapon balance and engagement distances so late in the game's lifecycle makes the time invested in working out an effective playing style redundant. It does feel like an act of vandalism. And the most irritating thing is that time must have been spent on this which could have been spent making genuine improvements - eg. auto team balancing.
The reason people get upset? It was actually a very good game - if it had been rubbish nobody would have minded either way when these ill-thought-out changes went in.
Most weapons are strongly outclassed with this patch. It forces players to a few good working ones. Punishing those that try something else for a change.
I have no time for mediocre games like BFV any more. This is literally what I did. I just finished Outer Worlds. I absolutely loved my functioning alcoholic / charismatic gunslinger with a fear of heights experience in that game Currently I'm playing through Metro: Exodus. From time to time I play a couple of matches of Hell Let Loose & Post Scriptum just to see how these games shape up. At least there is a sense of team work and community in these games. Also unlike DICE with their massive budget and multi-million dollars custom game engine, these guys have their excuses around why their games are early access or smaller in scale. No more BF frustrations.

“5.2 gave me 75+ GB of PS4 space by making me delete the game.”
