Fixing Battlefield: Some Advice For DICE and EA

Dealspwn: "Right off the bat: it's clear that EA accidentally released the wrong trailer. DICE have been teasing images of boats, planes and tanks over the last week, yet subjected us to seventeen minutes of generic brown ground pounding when it came to the crunch. Obviously that was B-roll footage of a narrated developer diary destined for release in a few days' time. The real trailer naturally showed swarms of player-controlled aircraft screaming over enormous battleships, raining fire down onto well-organised squads of infantry battling for territory while tank squadrons rolled through the streets. Someone will probably get fired for that cock-up.

But the second thought was much more exasperating. Why, oh why, is Battlefield still trying to be Call Of Duty?"

I personally don't think Battlefield is trying to be like CoD. Despite any high action moments, I still felt the realism DICE was trying to portray. CoD goes for an over-the-top explosorama.

Take out vehicles, health, and squad play, then I'd believe DICE is trying to be CoD.

secretcode4036d ago

That's what I think. The entire focus of Battlefield for me aside from the vehicles and health system, has to be the Class-based warfare as well as the fact you can't go out on your own and try to be Superman. You need backup. You need at least one other dude to have your back at all times to be successful. Call of Duty has yet to duplicate such an experience for me, outside of maybe the co-operative secondary modes.

You forgot one of the biggest things DESTRUCTION of buildings

Grap4036d ago

battlelog sucks. give us the old UI

Dirtnapstor4036d ago

This is just as tiring as the PC vs Consoles... Yes, I think BF reigns supreme when it comes to MP; but I personally love a great SP campaign also. If the guys at DICE want it, let them without the flak, I'll gladly take it! And quit the COD vs BF comparisons, it needs to die. Why should COD get all the story-glories?

Vladplaya4036d ago

I couldn't stand BF3 campaign more than just couple mission, what a boring generic garbage. I am sure BF4 probably won't be far from that either.

venom064036d ago

WHAT A STUPID P.O.S ARTICLE... so um, yeah, Battlefield is trying to be CoD with drivable vehicle, destructible environments, BRAND NEW ENGINE, dedicated servers... GTFO with this lame article..

secretcode4036d ago

Just consider it a parody/humor and brush it aside and move on. Not really anything to worry about.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot751d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250750d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface749d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop750d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno750d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel751d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps750d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888750d ago (Edited 750d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33750d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888750d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH750d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
