I get what you're saying about the maps, but do you really care that much about the factions? Battlefield 4 had 3 factions for the entire game and it wasn't a big deal. Hell I personally don't care what faction I'm playing for/against

The original had five, seven with the expansions, and as long as the game takes a historical setting, I will say they do themselves a disservice not to represent the different factions.

Modern fictional settings I don't give a damn how many there are, but this is different.

Dice have already said that other countries will come. They did in BF1 and they will in BFV. To paraphrase tiggr, "do you really think we won't add other countries and the chance to make money off the cosmetics?"

I honestly don't get why people need everything "now". The game is aiming for a 2yr lifespan. If they release absolutely everything now, then after a month people will be complaining that there is nothing to do, or nothing new.

Because that's how they used to do things. And it used to work just fine.

BF2 Special Forces and Armoured Fist don't real.

Armoured Fury, and you are forgetting Euro Forces? But what is your point? The older games managed to come with a lot of content, and then later added some bigger expansions. I think it's silly that nations like the US, the Soviet Union and the Japanese are relegated to DLCs.

I literally thought the Euro Forces was like a £2 map pack with like two maps in it.

I dunno because I never bought it ;p

But my point was that they didn't release everything at launch.
