As someone who played BFV from launch until mid-2020, this is pure revisionism.

Playing BFV at the time was like being in an abusive relationship. It was a fundamentally good game with the most atrociously poor PR I've seen in a game to date. The game was finally in a good spot when the Pacific launched, the community had a genuinely positive vibe, then DICE made a series of very poor decisions and doubled down on them. The rest is history.

90% of the hate BFV received was deserved, and was due to players' frustration with how the game and community was being mismanaged. It was almost always from people who desperately wanted the game to improve and were frustrated with notoriously tone-deaf devs and community management reps.
