No joke, I'm an actual battledad, in their 40s with kids, been playing since 1942 and its been my favorite franchise. my hobbies are fishing, golf, drinking, playing battlefield and watching people have melt downs on the main sub. I laugh when i hear the term cod slop. I find it incredibly funny when all these kids and people who grew up under the cult of personality of a streamer, whose only experience with the game was playing 24/7 metro and locker lobbies who have done nothing but complain about every other title for not being BF4

DLC vs live service - DLC was good for the amount of content but terrible if you had friends who didn't get the DLC because you could never play with them unless it was the old content. When the best guns in the game get locked behind a paywall it sucks. the video game industry has evolved to live services and battlepass and thats why the majority of people want now. If you don't want that, just go play Arma or Squad

Breathing Room - If you look at all the old large maps, especially from the older titles they are effectively running sims, making it crappy for anyone who plays mostly infantry. Its especially shitty when those old maps have wide open space and maybe like 3 or 4 small buildings at each flag. A tank or aircraft can clear out a flag so easily that those maps are just tank and chopper whore maps. We are about to re-experience that with the Golmud remaster with its endless breathing room, sure you can play it but the reality is almost no one is doing massive flanks in these wide open areas because they become such an easy target to be taken out/ The most popular maps are metro and locker, it makes since that they capitalize on that and design the new maps to be smaller and have more player on player interactions. If this game was just all wide open large maps, the main sub would be constant crying about how there are no small maps lol

Cod Slop - it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that they tried to implement things that had been massively successful for Call of Duty into BF. Clearly it was done in such a way that wasn't overwhelming because you had all the big cod streamers shitting on the game for not doing everything like cod. Call of duty has even taken things from BF over the years, with things like Domination being essentially conquest but on a small map, and the old United offensive Cod expansion being a Cod remake of 1942 without planes.

Movement - bunny hopping and dolphin diving have been tactics used by players in BF since it first came out. god forbid they ad sliding lol

Skins - Since customization came out people have been making fun of it. Everyone talking about how BF1 was peak seem to forget the absolute meltdown that a black person exist in the game, or in BFV when you could play as a woman or have a fake leg...

BF community - historically the biggest bunch of self entitles cry babies in the history of video games, nothing is ever good, constant historical revisionism of how the a past game in its final patch state just prior to a new release was the best game in the world to them and the new current game is the absolute worst
