Battlefield 1 was the last BF game that felt genuine to me. Even that was a bit tainted by weapons that were either not present in WW1, were infrequently used, or required a three person team IRL in order to operate it.
Those updates were at the tail end, though. When shotguns were realistic and standard issue rifles were common, the game was glorious.
And the singleplayer stories were quite nice.

The “valuable lesson” learned from BF2042 release they learned is likely to drip feed the shitty toxic unrealistic immersion breaking in-game store instead of blatant money grab immediately on release.

I just wish battlebit would add mod support already so I can completely just stop caring about what EA does with the battlefield franchise.
I like battlebit but the game balance is totally skewed towards high mobility players with SMGs and if you try to play any other style you immediately get sniped…. so I really want my battlefield itch scratched and battlebit is just failing terribly at it at the moment.
I am thinking about checking out Forgotten Hope 2 again, that is an old school one lol.
Any battlefield like games I am missing that can run on a steamdeck? There is Renegade X which is a remake of a battlefield-like game set in the Command And Conquer universe. Fun but gameplay is still pretty rough around edges.

Buy Arma 3 or Squad, or Hell Let Loose, or Escape From Tarkov, or literally anything else made by an indie studio and never look back. Triple A studios can no longer sustain the game development model and remain profitable due to b-suite and a-suite management grifting all the profits and paying for CEO golden parachutes while the QA and game devs can barely afford rent.
