If you’re assuming that EA moved the majority of DICE devs outside of Battlefield 2042 given the game’s rather lackluster reception, you’re wrong. According to someone from DICE, “almost everyone” in the studio is still working on Battlefield 2042/
This was confirmed by DICE Game Designer Frederik Drabert, when asked by a fan on how many people are working on BF2042.
Sure. Almost everyone.

That’s quite comforting to hear, no? If you’re hoping that DICE will right this ship, then at least we know that they have enough personnel working on it to happen.
In other Battlefield 2042 news, if you like riding around the LCAA Hovercraft to go up on walls and such, well, sad to say that’s about to end soon. This was confirmed by DICE Battlefield Community Manager Straatford87, who made the following statement on the EA Answers forums:
As you can see from Straatford87’s comment, the Hovercraft nerf will take effect in the big 4.0 patch hitting Battlefield 2042 players next week. It seems this Hovercraft change will be one of the 400+ fixes planned to ship with the 4.0 patch.
Are you bummed that the Hovercraft is getting changed? Maybe if enough players make noise about it, they would revert it back.

Alright then fix the tanks being called in to camp the only way up the elevator
That is very depressing news. All of Dice can’t do monthly patches and updates? Brutal development team. They should all be fired.
Nothing worse that developers who don’t play their own development…it’s not dope, you should get high on your own supply.
That makes the situation all the more sad and pathetic. The entire team still working on it and no new content …
The rumour said patch 4.0 will be in one week at the door. 400 fixes. Rebuilt maps. Find out on the internet.
I cant take back my $, will never again purchase any bf game and i have all parts since 2003 if i am not wrong. Lacking basic things like scoreboard chat and squads….wtf were they thinking about!? People who know what is bf will never accept this CRAP!
Honestly, the hovercraft, not an issue, doing it is dumb and if you waste your time doing that or wasting dev hours to fix it, then you aren’t addressing what is the most critical in or for the game. Bugs like broken downsight aiming after being in vehicles or falling through buildings/the map itself, too many damn heli’s and a lack of maps ARE THE THINGS THAT WILL GET THIS GANE BACK ON TRACK.
Hate to say it but to little to late. What’s got me about the game is telling people that they were ahead of schedule then the game comes out like it did. I really hope they learned there lesson on this an make the next bf better. And for god sakes get rid of specialist already!!! It’s dumb as hell

For who? Nobody is playing that flaming dumpster fire. This is the penalty for making the Microtransactions chief from candy crush the head of development for battlefield. SCRAP it, and put everyone’s efforts and talents into the next game, this time maybe talking the time needed to give the gamers what was promised with this game, hack sellouts.
