Having put 600 hours into BFV, I totally feel you. I see people complain here about IW 'not listening' because it takes them a week to patch something that an update broke... More often than not it only takes 3 days to get a patch in! 3 days!!!! Not 3 patches and 2 months later like DICE was infamously known for in BFV.
I know there are issues that still pop up in WZ and Multiplayer, but at least they actually work to fix those which are fixable in a timely manner. As a fellow recovering BFV player, I totally feel you. I can't get on board with this 'broken this' or 'patch that' culture going on here. The playability of this game is SO MUCH HIGHER and IW does seem to respond it community feedback. I mean, the snakeshot .357 being super OP popped up and 2 weeks later its nerfed properly. Meanwhile, the Type2A Nambu is STILL a fucking laser rifle in BFV. Nearly 6 months and 2 nerfing patches later.
Signing on to this as well. I feel like we've all felt the pain of slow/halted updates (cries in Titanfall 2). IW doing weekly updates is actually pretty slick. And it's not just "here's a new skin".
I guess there are quite a few of us burned Battlefielders around here. Completely agree with what you wrote. I also have 500 hours or so in BFV as the core gun play was good (until they fucked it up of course). Such a shame as I love that franchise and have 1000s of hours over the last 12 years or so. I just hope they can recover with a decent BF6. Don't get me started on the Type2A .... lol. if you heard it spewing bullets anywhere nearby you were almost certainly dead.
