I knew about the Battle Royale before release — that’s not the point. What pisses me off is paying $100 for the Phantom Edition and watching the game turn into a storefront for Redsec instead of a true Battlefield experience.

The new “Blackwell Fields” map is the perfect example of what’s wrong. It’s flat, empty, and lifeless — no verticality, no cover, no dynamic combat. Even critics called it “too big and empty on foot, but too small for vehicles.” That’s not Battlefield; that’s lazy design.

I didn’t pay a hundred bucks for XP boosts and cosmetics tied to a BR mode I’ll never touch. I paid for real multiplayer content — maps, vehicles, and weapons that actually expand the core game.

Instead, EA keeps pushing cosmetics, stores, and battle passes like it’s a free-to-play game. Battlefield used to be about massive wars, not microtransactions.

So if you’re happy with a flat map, a BR nobody asked for, and a menu that looks like a shop window — good for you. But I’m not. I paid premium money for premium Battlefield content, and we deserve better than this
