I'm expecting either a massive day 1 patch or another delay. Another delay seems near 0% chance at this point so massive day 1 patch seems realistic. The question is if that massive day 1 patch will make it in time for early access users or when the game opens up to all.
This was taken from the EA Forums, I personally haven't gotten the survey yet, but I wonder if they expected complaints regarding the Specialists and are fielding feedback as leverage to revert it back to the more traditional Battlefield classes.
I hope Embark are making a proper BF style game and not some hero shooter. I know there's WW3 but that has a free for all class system and vehicle spawn system, just does not work for large scale warfare.IIRC, a good number of the DICE management and devs from that era left to form Embark Studios.
Our continued journey
As we’re continuing our journey, our CEO and founder Patrick has an update on where we are, what we’re working on, and where we’re heading.
I'm pretty sure they left so that they don't have to keep making BF-style games.
They should've aimed for a September 2022 release with current gen only, not being held back
I don't think the map size & player count are the problem; it's that the game is not made for the map & player count. Honestly I wasn't even fond of BF3 from a BF2 vet (yes I'm one of them types :V). Orbital is kinda like a BF2 map but with a gameplay core that is very close to MW 2019 Ground War, meshes poorly.
Yeah remembered that, thing is hero shooters are now all the rage :/.I'm pretty sure they left so that they don't have to keep making BF-style games.
Their second project which is a team-based PVP game is most likely a hero shooter judging by the concepts they posted:

You start off with the worst opening line and then drop some truly terrible ideas hahaha
Lol
Would kinda agree but I suspect a lot of DICE developers just want this game out. I mean a next-gen only September 2022 date would've made this whole thing smoother but I fear that DICE Management & EA really fear MWII.
Problem is the franchise BC2-Bf1 was heavily focused on your wishlist partially. They have been trying to appease everyone.
Orbital is like the smallest of the "medium" sized maps and 3rd smallest map overall, since there's about 40 vehicles overall on a map I kinda dread how Breakaway & Hourglass will play due to vehicles per player will be relatively low.
I will because it'd be a huge missed opportunity for the franchise. God I wish BF took the Halo Infinite route of getting it right, or BF1 or BFV did.
They tried that with a rushed BFV and many content creators and competitive dorito bros hated the direction. I mean BFV was IMV the last "doing its own thing" for a long time and many people with vocal platforms dunked on it. Social Media & BF don't mesh well.
He said in the article that both of his sources confirmed the beta build is from mid-early September. How is the title of the thread very dishonest when it states exactly that?
It doesn't play like MW2019 at all in its current state. I have an embarrassing number of hours put into Warzone and a win count well over 100 at the time of uninstallation ... and it's still more Battlefield than COD. Markedly so, too. I was relieved when it wasn't handling like MW2019 during the Beta.
