-Player models being indistinguishable from the background
-Back-prone (although I do find back prone very funny as an image when it's a guy with a loving MG between their legs spraying indiscriminately)
-Lack of quality vehicles, especially transport vehicles
-Insistence on an animation for everything
-The low ammo count that you could hold at launch
-Vehicle resupplying being a thing

- Weapon and vehicle upgrades being tied to the Company Coins that the game wasn�t properly awarding for its first 2-3 months.
- Adding and removing game modes like Frontlines, Outpost, and other stuff, often with those modes only being available for a very limited handful of maps.
- Squad support call ins being underwhelming or downright useless on some maps.
- Map boundaries being awful in some game modes, leading to some resupply/vehicle repair stations being out of bounds for over a year.
- Spotting flares being uselessly small for a long rear end time.

It was definitely a "total package" type failure.
-Low content on release and failure to deliver on the 'games as a service' pitch in any meaningful way for a long time.
-Bland, soulless visuals compared to previous titles.
-Atrocious vehicle progression where they were often completely uncompetitive until the final unlocks.
-Lack of iconic locales, Armies, and weapons. They wanted to do lesser known battles but it just didn't work.
-Bizarre cosmetics that satisfied absolutely nobody in either the "horny for ww2 milsim" camp or the "outlandish cosmetics are ok" camp. Also there were none of them. It took them like 4 months to release the cosmetics they featured in the Alpha/Beta
-Grand Operations were very, very clearly unfinished. Not just content lacking but outright half-baked.
-Planes were very unsatisfying to fly.
-Planes were also stupidly overpowered for a long time.
-Tanks were weak which meant all they could do was sit back and snipe, contributing to the usual "infantry on both teams resenting vehicles" scenario.
-Most maps were bad and conquest was the only real mode to play
-Hamada
-At some point they decided they didn't like the ttk, which was generally considered by the player base the only good part of the game, and changed it. Everyone hated the change, which resulted in the game going through like 4 major ttk phases over a few months as they flopped between 1.0-2.0-1.0-3.0.
-The UI was bizzare and sucked rear end

It was clear that design decisions alone would have relegated V to the bottom tier of BF games, but being released a year early just sent it down the dumpster chute even faster.

also in the end, they bailed on the game and we ended up with a world war 2 game without the soviet loving union

Also the fact to activate missions you had to back out of a game to do so. You couldn't sit in a game and play for a couple of hours you had to leave, which made every server a yo-yo of people leaving and joining.

I'm not a huge fan of the named characters vs generic soldier thing but it's a really minor nitpick as long as the game is great.

Also the BF3 box cutter is back as a pre-order bonus!

Did not watch the trailer but read a few summaries. The specialists rather than classes concerns me, specifically if you can't have multiple of the same in a squad - but I think it could also be unique so I'm open minded on it. The battle pass sounds horrible. Other than that, pretty interested still, looking forward to seeing some gameplay.
