I can see how it would be. BF3 was around the time I really remember the series taking a turn away from grittier, more teamwork oriented gameplay to being scuffed Call of Duty with vehicles. They started marketing their games based on trick shot montages and level destruction events...which don’t feel at all like Battlefield should.

I don't mind the level destruction, but yeah they really did gut the mechanics and start minimizing the classes. The days of playing Commander were over by the time BF3 came out and the tactical "meta" so to speak entirely changed. The newer games run "smoother" and they look pretty, I guess, but they really don't have the teeth to be considered a pure Battlefield experience.
