It isn't worth the nonsense, check out the new community I started for battlefield-like indie games !indiefields@sopuli.xyz
A good alternative recommendation is Easy Red 2

That developer deserves a measly $10 far more than EA does, and the game is better than any recent battlefields in terms of realism and depth of gameplay. The game has a full inventory system and extensive easy to use command controls for AI troops (that are actually tactically useful) that creates along with the polished gunplay and tank combat mechanics a very compelling gameplay loop.
ER2 is a blast on my Steam Deck!!
Give your money to artists and game developers so they can live decent lives, the executives of EA won't know what to do with your money except fire more developers and buy an even bigger yacht.
Easy Red 2, Ravenfield, OG Battlefront 2... plenty of games out there!
It's nice to see easy red 2 mentioned on lemmy! seriously underrated game.
Nobody buys bf for realism and depth and it has never been made as one.
I mean... compared to a call of duty experience i think they do. Even arcadey battlefield games have combined arms, naunced teamwork and battlefield awareness at play that most team shooters don't have.
If you would like a really arcadey recommendation however Heroes Of Valor looks good though I haven't tried it (and it is in early access).

Nah. I like me battlefields . It plays like battlefield and all I needs. Been playing them since the wake island demo waaaaaay back in the bf1942 days.
Two thing i do miss though, dedicated servers and mods.
I am not saying I don't like battlefield, I don't like EA and that has become a dealbreaker for me.. or rather it did quite awhile ago.
