In Battlefield games of old, banning players in custom games didn't really work. Players who didn't follow the rules or trolled their teammates could be removed from the game by admins, but their bans would only last for as long as the server was alive.
Battlefield 2042's Rush Mode faces criticism due to passive playstyles that hinder objective-based gameplay.
Battlefield franchise boss thinks Battlefield "absolutely can" outsell Call of Duty, but says they're not targeting that with the next entry.
Feel like if that were true, we would have seen it during the BF3/4 era. Just focus first on releasing a Battlefield that's actually feature complete, well put together, that people actually want to play right out of the gate. Hoping Zampella can make this happen.
The best opportunity was BF1 vs. Infinite Warfare. I've never actually seen a worldwide sales comparison so I'm not convinced BF1 didn't eventually win, but I do know COD sold better in the US at launch, because it was the NPD #1 that year, while BF was #2.
The best opportunity was with BC2 and BF3. BF4 dropped the ball with a short campaign and bugged multiplayer at launch
Release a decent game and let the mouth to eat do the rest.. you choose to release another BF4 then blame yourselves for it

Definitely not BC2. I love the Bad Company games (even though everyone always pretends the first one didn't exist), but even though BC2 has achieved great respect in hindsight, at the time it came out a lot of casuals who bought COD every year either didn't know of Battlefield's existence or saw it as a knockoff of COD. Plus coming out in spring 2010 it was competing against MW2 (the original one) which came out the prior fall.
I mean, the title of the game doesn't have a lot to do with how it sells. The next game is not going to change things but Zampella course change the course of the series towards something that's more on track with that those big player numbers.
With that said, battlefield fans might not want that. To acquire the wider audience they would probably need to betray a lot of the series design principles. Call of Duty is as popular as it is because it is as simple as it is.
In his defense, BF2042 did turn things around eventually though still falls short of franchise expectations if you based it on BF4, BF3, BF1.
Hated it at lunch, came back a two years after and it was an absolute blast. Not sure how it did sales wise to be called failure or success but BF2042 is a pretty good game .
We don't need more games ruined. It's like that company puts water on their bread before they eat it.
Here we go again with rubbing mouths. BF has been a flop consistently since BF4, and I mean flop as in disappointing to the fan base due to the technical issues each has had and the gameplay changes needlessly made. Shut up and make a good BF before hyping up another potential disappointment.
Bro gave one pretty decent interview and answered the questions he was asked. Not really his fault if people want to cherry pick quotes for "content".

I don't mind them claiming BF2042 wasn't a failure so long as they learned from it and use that experience moving forward into the new game, it was terrible at launch but towards the end it got a bit better. I don't want to see the same thing play out with the new BF though because the ones who are still interested in the franchise have been pretty vocal with what they want and don't want from Battlefield.
Battlefield 2042 may no longer be receiving new seasons, but it's already been confirmed that a new Halloween event will hit the game later this year.
Can't wait to get permabanned from a server because the 12 year admin got upset that I'm getting the most kills on the enemy team, and can't stand to lose a single round.
Bans are needed, because some gamers lose their minds....
Actual true story time: Good gaming friends dad works and owns his own cyber security company and they deal with new AI anti cheat tech. They had a meeting recently with DICE and while they didn’t hire them, they confirmed that they already have an AI anti cheat of their own that they’re developing for this game and others. AI cheats and machine learning is becoming a very big issue in the gaming community that is only going to get worse
Never have I ever been banned for trolling. In fact I was only ever banned from custom servers because I was far too good and my entire squad would run laps around most of the players all game. Can’t have any actual competition in our games though. No only admin can have fun. Maybe include an option to report admin abuse while they’re at it
I always followed the rules without trolling in previous Battlefield and got kicked 3 times a day for no good reason, banning and kicking option is far to be a solution in all games at least if your are not a hacker.
