It’s basically the same thing as '“the tech is not here”. That tech is not here for many many things and at this point we can’t hope those will be fixed or improved. ---

Was thinking that as I wrote it. Next BF needs flexible and adaptable code and structure. ---

We were simply asking to let us change assignments without having to exit the game server.We weren’t even asking for track-all. Although they should be able to do that too, considering it was being done 10 years ago on earlier BF titles. ---

I was deliberately avoiding that phrase so as to not upset someone. But since you mentioned it. What I’d love to know is. 1. Where did the tech go?! It was there in BF3 and BF4. 2. Why not spend the effort to develop that tech you used to have with the old systems. [Previous page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/this-week-in-battlefield-v-april-27-2020/107523.md?page=2)
