Battlefield 2042: For Those Who Have Not Decided to Cancel Pre-Order or Not
A post from redita was brought in, slightly corrected the translation, but mb overlooked it somewhere. Note that everything that is written here does not concern bugs, but only the very CORE elements of the game, the topic of weapons that do not fall into people is not even touched upon.

Key Features
No single story
No standard server browser
Fewer standardized game modes, only 2 (Can't even play TDM or smaller modes without relying on community servers. Right?)
Fewer cards in the base game than in any other game (even including the portal, the number of cards is only 13, without the portal - 7)
No permanent lobbies - 1 game and you are in the main menu (seriously, why should I look for players after EACH round?)
Fewer in-game tasks (except for cosmetic discoveries)
No class system
Less customization options (than BF5)
There is no progress / profile statistics page in the menu
No battle log / stats tracking for other players
No global leaderboards
End of Round Quest Progress Screen
No tokens (I guess they still exist?)
No custom emblems
Less achievements
No medals
No progressive crescendo of dramatic music towards the end of the match (obviously the most egregious on the list) Instead of music, we have scary shit ambient
Less destruction (only a small handful of script destructible buildings on each map, I'm not even sure if they can be completely razed to the ground)
There is no card that changes left-handedness (there seems to be, but the cards are so big, anything that changes doesn't really affect the way you play)
The lack of an in-game profile screen (BF 4, HL, 1 and V were linked by menus, if you had them digitally, that's a great feature).
Without spectator mode
No permanent community servers (would be useful for clans and events)
