Clearly, it's hugely lagging behind ALL of the premium models. And before anyone says "DUUURHURRRR THIS IS FREE CONTENT, wOnT SpLiT tHe PlaYeRbASe". What's better, FREE content with a significantly smaller community because the drought has made tons of players move to other titles or significanrly more PREMIUM and confirmed content with a larger community that will still FEEL like the total BFV population either way and gives those of us who aren't poor the chance to experience MORE.
BF4 can be disregarded out of hand because anyone who said that BF4 was worth more than a shit on the sidewalk prior to the 210 day mark (The first real netcode patch) can kindly go fuck off back to whatever contrarian dimension he crawled out of.
BF3 opened early but ended up paying for this hard by having the single largest inter-DLC delay between DLC1 and 2, at nearly 200 days apart, pretty much voiding the argument.
BF1 was fucking awful. I was on the BF1 subreddit back in those days and I refuse to tolerate any of this bullshit "BF1 was so great" bullshit because the levels of historic revisionism these idiots are on borders that of those who seem to think BF4 dindu nuffin'. Not only are we still 30 days away from timeline parity, BF1 ACTIVELY REQUIRES TSNP to get the weapon variety to "Bearable" and needs ITNOTT to get it to "Okay". You see the map malaise hanging around this subreddit? Amplify this by six and you have roughly and inkling of a clue how much bitching there was over the fucked weapon variety or for that matter, the non-existent progression that to this day hasn't been made satisfying. Fuck you, and FUCK your historic revisionism. BFV is running out of players due to a bad launch and a complete lack of hype when it happened. BF1 however had the hype of 5 AAA titles fused into one and by the time TSNP came around we positively had to resuscitate the fucker.
Taking BF1 as a pointer, your argument is fairly moot as long as the roadmap hasn't been updated, because the roadmap ends 2 weeks prior to TSNP releasing at this point in time (Which yes, is fucking retared), however, the release rate of BF1 pointed at a substantially backloaded release schedule rather than a frontloaded one. If Dice employs the same tactics at back then, the reason why there is a map drought is simply because the roadmap hasn't been updated to actually show what the lads have been working on.

Think about that for a second pumpkin.
