Battlefield 2042 has received a considerable amount of backlash from series fans both new and old since its release in November 2021. Plagued with performance issues and lacking basic features such as a proper scoreboard—integration of a scoreboard in Battlefield 2042 has been delayed until March—the game is hemorrhaging players, and a continued focus on its controversial specialists only seems to advance communal ire. On February 10, the official Battlefield Twitter account announced a new “Tactical Beanie” headgear for Angel, and fans haven’t taken kindly to it.
