Battlefield 4, after they fixed it (mostly) and released all the DLC, was great. Still is regularly played.
Something happened starting with BF1, and I just didn’t like it. The physics felt wrong, the gameplay loop felt annoying. I tried BFV, which was a joke at launch. The Pacific Theatre DLC was alright, but the physics still felt bad, and I found the UI to be ugly. Then DICE just completely dropped the game, I guess it must have not been very popular. Surprise surprise.
I felt exactly the same. There’s just SOMETHING wrong with the Frostbite 3 engine that even now DICE doesn’t seem to be able to get physics right. Things feel strongly floaty and delayed.
Up to battlefield 3 everything felt exactly how an fps should be, snappy, fast, and realistic enough. 4 used Frostbite 3 and remember how buggy it was on launch but after years of work is still one of the best they ever made. But somehow 1 and on theres just something off that I just can’t put my finger on.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve put at least several dozen hours into every one of them so it’s not like I played a few matches and quit.
But 1942, 2, BC 1 AND 2, 3, and 4 I put hundreds if not thousands of hours into them
BFV was a great game marred by awful executive meddling causing issues several times throughout its run but support was dropped for it because it was at the end of its life cycle (The same as the battlefield preceding it). But it was and is to this day actually one of the most popular games in the series, along with BF1. It (and BF1) dwarf the players of both BF4 and BF2042
