They never fucking learn, and it's infuriating.

Absolutely. They should have learned from V and 2042 that the community wants more maps, but they seem to think replacing maps with poorly made limited-time modes is sufficient. What's frustrating is BF6 had a strong release, but there's no momentum with the post launch content. It feels like the DICE obstinance is still alive and kicking.
 
So the only other new map in this season will be infantry only? I'm so tired. Also they're stealing the hallucination fart gas from black ops 7 for some reason.

Yes, seriously. I don't play Battlefield as extensively as Call of Duty.

When'd you start the series? Battlefield V?
Battlefield 3 was the classic, Tehran Highway was one of the best maps on it. Urban set along a highway, so it was sort of a highway of death vibe with urban combat too (Grand Bazaar and Seine Crossing were the dedicated urban density maps). Nivelle Nights came late in Battlefield 1 (They Shall Not Pass didn't even launch with it; they started this annoying shit of releasing a number of them and then single maps like breadcrumbs after) and it was followed up with Prise de Tahure, but it was extremely good too. Nivelle was symmetrical trench war, Prise de Tahure was an urban clusterfuck map.

Technically, Hardline. I've dabbled into Battlefield before from Bad Company 2 and 3 because they were free with Xbox Live at one point. But, Hardline was when I spent a lot of the time with the franchise onward. I think I had a couple hundred hours logged into Hardline's multiplayer.
 

Some content creators regarding Call of Duty and Battlefield have bad takes. Or they take common consensus and misunderstand the whole rivalry. There's no contest between the quality/experience of Black Ops 7 and Battlefield 6 IMHO. 6 is serviceable at worst, but there's nothing there to gain meaningful long term interest.

That would've been fine (maybe?) if Battlefield did not try to convert itself into a live service title. Some people are just angry without any recourse to support that anger. Of course, it makes great outrage videos.

Unpopular opinion, but I find myself entirely dissatisfied with the Battlefield community as of late. The difference between this game's post-launch and 2042's is night and day. This entire season could run its course and you'd still have 2 months to spare on how long it took for one new map to release on BF2042 for comparison.

The complaints are not all without merit. I want more maps, a faster release schedule and the events becoming permanent fixtures in playlists, but some people are just impatient faggots.

I take it as people being conditioned to accept the live service model as persistent support. In that, people expect consistent content NOW NOW NOW because they have lower attention spans with games. It doesn't help that, as you said, the vocal voices that loudly speak out against these practices are the ones that encourage them to fester to begin with.

I also think people have been spoiled by live service games like League of Legends where patches are legit every like 3-4 weeks.

Say what you want about Riot but their patch schedule is fantastic.

Destiny 2 did the same thing where they patched the game every 2-4 weeks until pretty recently
 
From my perspective, one issue is that things like the Battlepass, limited extra passes are all easy to complete. They put out a limited pass, I can do all of that weeks challenges to complete in a few matches. Yawn. Next week, it's done in a couple matches. Battlepass has been finished for a long time.

Othergames, every day or week you get on and have shit to do to complete. Maybe I'm a retard with too much time for gaming, but this game has just been a desert. I ignore the challenges as there's nothing to gain. Not that I care about skins or shit, but I do like an incentive and scoring 5000XP points for my rank isn't one to me. I don't even care about daily challenges at all any more.

2042 for it's flaws, it still had a better Portal and those extra maps saved that game.

I don't think DICE fully intended its players to max out towards their level cap. Or, as aptly put, Colonel. Speaking of which, it's interesting how Battlefield maxes out at Colonel, but Call of Duty maxes out at General of the Army or sometimes, Commander.
