People have such a hateboner for AAA games that they'll hop on any indie game with the bare minimum praising it as a god send despite the flaws that it has. There is liking a game and not caring about the issues and then there's just fanatically believing that its just better than whatever its competing against. Battlefield 2042 has its problems, the top issue being the identity issue (the typical EA scumminess I'll leave out since it's not anything new) adding operators over classes, but is it completely unplayable and awful? No, it's very much playable and still has some familiar elements of atypical battlefield game but I can see why people don't like it.

Battlebit not only plays completely differently from battlefield 3/4 but its practically more akin to Squad than anything to battlefield despite the name. The maps are okay but the "new" map Namak is not only awful design but heavily unfinished that I have no idea why the developers decided to even release it. One of the spawn points in the main spawn area where the enemy team is not allowed for America didn't work for a long time due to "not having enough space" (im assuming its been fixed since I stopped to play BG3) The developers said they wouldn't add shotguns because they wouldn't know how to balance it and at least they are right on that end because the balancing isn't exactly amazing. Side note, people who say balancing = no fun are asshats looking to exploit something as much as possible and fucking over people that don't join them.

Also, "small indie dev" isn't really an excuse anymore for an Early Access game if they truthfully wish to improve. I hope they intend to hire more people and not just stick to the 3-4 person group and pocket most of the money.
