Address the issues, game is in terrible shape right now, nobody plays Medics, Recons are trash, Tanks are trash, SMGs are peashooters, can’t even afford CC to upgrade a vehicle because I get almost none, bugs of all kinds all over the place. Bug fixes is all I care for right now. ---

Along with all of the core gameplay issues and underpowered weapons, largely decreasing or just eliminating lag compensation would benefit a majority of the players. It’s 2019 and most people have access to a solid internet connection, so stop punishing those who do by giving the players with poor connection an unfair advantage. Most people have a good internet connection and some don’t, that’s life. Lag compensation is the equivalent of a participation trophy. ---

Honestly, I tune in for a game and then leave. 8 map is pitiful for an AAA game. It’s just so bloody boring half the time in these matches. Got some fun out of the game, but this game is so unfinished it is laughable it was even released. ---

We appreciate the new content, but as stated already, patch notes would be highly preferred, and personally, I would like to hear what EA / Dice are doing about aimbots, ESP, and other cheating methods in multiplayer. There are literally tons of websites online offering unfair tools to cheat in this game, which is exceptionally frustrating. Thank you. ---

I don’t need new maps, new skins. What I need is playing BF V 2 game in a row. Now i must Alt+F4 almost every game because new map stops loading. Nobody from EA/DICE don’t care. Every game when I play allready starts and I lost many points every game. Company coins? I can’t buy upgrade’s for weapon. DO SOMETHING !!! ---

Most people have a good internet connection and some don’t, that’s life. Lag compensation is the equivalent of a participation trophy. Lol, nope. Trying to put players with higher pings onto a level playing field is not giving them a participation trophy, not even close. I would say it is the opposite- people on low pings would be at an unfair advantage and should be getting the participation trophy. A player with a 15ms ping is like getting a 10m head start in the 100m dash over a player with a 65ms ping. You are looking at it wrong. I am stuck on a 65ms ping as the closest server is in Sydney, on the other side of the country. ---
