EDITED REVIEW:
The game is alive-ish. I had crossplay turned off and found no lobbies, but when on youll find one. Console players are keeping the game alive. In the game development world, REGARDLESS of covid and just like ANY business, you need to keep your business running and run a tight ship. Covid isn't really an excuse to what we have been given.

Season 1: A step in the right direction, however I'm noticing a huge lack of weaponry compared to ALL Battlefield titles, not just BF4. It was nice they added TWO, yes TWO weapons. However, it took this long for an update and you give us 2 guns and a battlepass? Yes there have been some improvements but movement is still clunky (Sprinting to ADS is still wonky as hell) I should also mention AA is pretty useless in the game as some choppers use flares, then immediately stealth which is pretty aids. Even the new operators launcher is pretty useless due to how quick Aircraft movement is in the game, I don't recall heli's being able to stop and reverse fly on a dime. The semi reliable way to deal with this is Sundance with AA launcher, but even then that stealth mode kinda cucks you. I checked the roadmap and I will say DICE does have good fixes coming out and content but the question is: Will the content to release time ratio be worth the wait? Or should they just trash this and work on the next battlefield.

Working in the tech industry/programming myself, I know damn well DICE sets deadlines to be met but DICE needs to look over a product and reevaluate before just releasing a patch.

All in all -- the game is pretty much just being plastered with band aids AT THE MOMENT. Anyone who says otherwise is probably delusional or just likes to suck off their favorite developers. Constructive criticism makes the difference in game development so stop being easy on these cash grabbing AAA companies.
