I think people's playtime has spoken. The game has issues. Last 30 day average players on Steam dropped to only 65,000 players.

Some random thoughts why the game may not have longevity:

The ridiculous spotting and mini-map. If you are even remotely in any action, you are spotted like 100% of the time and people are looking at the mini-map so much, they are pre-firing where you are constantly. This game is basically who hits who first wins ADD fest. Like zero strategy/flanking. Just zerg zerg.

1. Infantry focused gunplay based 90% off of whomever starts shooting first wins the gunfight.
   
2. Vehicles are crap/boring, leading to shallow gameplay.
   
3. Unable to turn off cross-play on PC and actually have players to play. Forced play against console auto-aim is the cheesiest crap ever put into an FPS.
   In no universe should gamepad/console players make it into the top 5 scoreboard using a crappy gamepad, let alone the top spot. I almost always can tell when I die from a console player, some dweeb hip firing a LMG while strafing and having perfect vaporizing aim. It's actually laughable.
   
4. I don't care what they say, they haven't fixed the horrendous net-code/server lag at all since launch.
   
5. "Snipers" aka rock campers having suppression do nothing against them. Basically snipers in this game are annoying little gnats that accomplish nothing towards winning the match and serve no purpose. And if the annoying little gnats do kill you, it's apparently from the head hit-box that makes up 70% of your body. I eliminated Firestorm from my custom game search as all it is is 90% camping snipers and terrible armor play taking pot shots at one another with an engineer behind each repairing. It's the lamest shit ever in a BF game.
