An aside, Axelrod has been fighting this fight since before BF1 released. Not late to party, just frustrated by it.
I don't know about you, but this is my last Battlefield game, my last EA game.
Unless dice and EA want to pucker up and kiss my **** and apologize.
A lot of guys/gals on here are not going to buy BF6 . EA your business strategy stinks .
Either way, no real dedicated servers will get ea both.
This is going to a bit sidetrack, but Squad CQ was great (only 3 maps though) and it was removed, Rush is coming only for 2 weeks (unless they extend it) and apparently it has also 3 maps only.
People are playing games like Anthem, Apex instead.
Bf4 had 33 maps to play on.
BF4 had real dedicated servers
BF4 had more players than BF1
Bf 4 you had to pay to get quality and content.
You get what you pay for.
Bf4 $120 with everything
BF5 is $30 for practically nothing.
I have money to spend. Let me spend it how I want. I want a good game with more than 8 maps at launch and I have no problem spending $100 a month on real 3rd party admin controlled game servers with a server browser that allows players to find my server.
I have been waiting for going on 3 years now as a lot of other players are. If you make it, I will buy it. Others will too. Maybe more than the mere 7 miking that regret buying bf5 and the even less that will buy the next Battlefield Title.
I don't think EA wants to kill Battlefield off. That wouldn't make business sense. I believe they're morphing BF into a more casual shooter that isn't going to have the polish of previous games. Every year they spit out a half-baked game for $59.99 that appeals to the casual couch gamer. Within 8-10 months, most players are bored and ready to move on to the next BF game. They're probably crunching the numbers now to see if it's worthwhile to kill off PC so they don't have to deal with the cheats or a RSP. All they have to do is make their future games have native M/K support on consoles and BF will become a casual shooter. It will generate enough $$$ to make the shareholders happy.
I know
Not clear for me yet as it simply depends on what the game is going to bring and what setting it will be. I dislike futuristic settings big-time and as such I only got 2142 for collection and disliked the last BF4 DLC with all that laser stuff.
IMO the Live Service has killed BFV but as you said and I agree, the lack of dedicated servers did the most work. I still think that BFV would've been more playable despite the lack of content if communities had their go.
Ever since the launch of BFV I also have the feeling that EA is actively trying to kill the Franchise. Actually, the whole marketing campaign already gave me that feeling. Not a single business in their right mind would've done such a bad job on this game at the marketing as EA did. Even a company that has no clue how to do marketing would've done it better. Heck, even a company that did nothing to market at all would've done better.
BF1 and the lack of community base focus lost my interest in the future of the Battlefield series, I didn't buy BFV and probably wont at this stage, out of over 100 members in our community less then 10 got BF1 even less have BFV .....
When EA can make a game that is fun to play, looks good and can support all my friends and admins then I may come back.
Until such time, to me it looks like the only way EA can get people to play their games is to go with free to play. Apex Legends has 50 million downloads now.
Has not proven to have made any money yet but they at have have people downloading their game.
Unfortunately, that's the problem and EA know it..They know that there's a large core loyal group of gamers no matter what you do they will keep on coming back on hope or a half baked promise with double meaning that may or will lead to nowhere..
In saying that I truly believe that now even the most loyal BF gamers patience's is wearing thin and is not even looking forward to whats at offer in the future because of the predictability of this franchise.
Lets wait and see. ..
Its got to go back to 3rd party rental server companies. DICE fubar'd it on BF1.
If this doesn't happen , the pc end of Battlefield will die out . Might even be too late for this game .
DICE had a meeting to discuss when they convene for another meeting to determine how they will communicate to the community that we've heard you on things which we cannot discuss at this time. More to come. Exciting!
The game will be dead by then and most players will have moved on.
