Battlefield™ 6

Good game

Held off on making my review as it takes time for most live service games nowadays to resemble something reasonably close to a finished product. My journey with Battlefield starts back in 2013, platinum hits Xbox 360 Battlefield Bad Company and Battlefield 3. And every entry since. (We dont talk about heroes.) Ive been through the highest of highs, and lowest of lows. Each game having its own quirks or issues, most of which was resolved within the first year of release. Every one of these entries since 2008, had 2 things in common, and im sure any self proclaimed fan of the series can agree to, is Conquest. And Rush. The two main flag ships of game modes for the franchise. I play the game for Rush, localized combat, usually supported by light transport or infantry fighting vehicles to help balance out the objectives for the attackers. A game mode that relies on a substantial amount of coordination and teamwork to win a match. Which is what drew me to it instead of games like cod, halo etc. So, coming back from memory lane. We understand two things, flag ship game modes, and consistency across titles. Being creatures of pattern recognition its of little surprise a fan of the franchise is going to be excited for the long awaited "return to form" Battlefield and its game modes, so. Colour me surprised I find out the content I exclusively paid for the game to play, is suddenly ripped from progression based play in the sake of "Matchmaking Improvements" for modes i do not care about. Its like buying a variety pack of crush sodas for the rootbeer as your main interest, then the cashier just takes them out after youve paid full price for the contents. And thats not even the worst part of all this, the half assed response to the absolutely justified outrage from the franchises community, is apparently passable enough by steams support to just allow this blatant theft to go unpunished by the community. I spent my 140$ on a game that was advertised to be a return to form, having my desired game mode. My way to play. Inside. And for a time it was, my beloved rootbeer was in the variety pack and I was having a great time besides the quirks and hiccups. But those get fixed overtime so I had no worries. I am very, disappointed in how steam support has handled this. I truly pray that this is just a single isolated incident and im the only individual getting shafted. This sort of thing cannot be allowed to occur ever again. I refuse to purchase another Battlefield/Dice product again, for fear of theft and misleading advertisement. And to any steam reps who perchance read this. How much change is a company allowed to make in their product before its liable for a refund? Id love to know. Because apparently advertised modes dont count.
