This studio is just full of themselves. There was obviously a lot of issues with battlefield 4 and made the "beta" pointless since they didn't fix much of what needed to get fixed before releasing the game.

sprinterboy3801d ago

Dice wanted more time, it was EA who said release launch day

psDrake3801d ago

It's just sad Dice has to work for EA.

2K and Ubisoft would be a better fit

Trunkz3801d ago

DICE aren't completely innocent.

Take the BF4 knife for example. Press 6 on PC and take it out and go to knife someone, it will do the animation knife. In BF3, you were able to slash and kill when it was taken out, so why allow someone to waste time to take out the knife to do an animation knife when you can just press F or whatever you key is and get it done.

This is a complete fail on DICE.

WorldGamer3801d ago

Anyone who has played the game knows these issues are a big deal, by trying to hide the truth they just come off as being petty.

The only way to get to these companies is to hold off of purchasing their product and vote with your dollars. I purchased BF4 and love it when it works, but in the future I will be waiting until they get their act together before I purchase another of their games.

Fix the crap and move on, but don't abuse your user base. Particularly when they have a great point.

ziratul3801d ago

They rushed for release day, so we can play our games soon as we get our new consoles -> But still.. it's not an excuse for tons of issues.

Megaton3801d ago

But their base (you) buys their slop regardless. They can do whatever they want because you'll always lap it up and ask for seconds.

WorldGamer3801d ago

Really? So I was supposed to look into the future and anticipate these problems? Seeing as how my last experience with BF was on PS3 and I got it months after release so I wasn't aware of their propensity for these issues?

Seems like you should really thing before you paint people with broad brush strokes Mega. Funny how everyone who responded is giving an intelligent contribution, but you roll through with ill informed assumptions. Good show man, good show.

Mackeral823801d ago

I agree with you completly. I pre-ordered bf4..but next release I will hold off until they get it together. That being said, this game is amazing when working properly!

pandehz3801d ago

Solution to stop all the crappy releases from many devs lately is to STOP PREORDERING.

Juangie33801d ago

I really love the game I am having a lot of fun with it. These Issues however are undeniable. A console game should not constantly be crashing.

BlingBlaine3801d ago

Vote with your wallet, I was screwed on the last bf on ps3 so I voted with my wallet.

Gamefly got me bf4 on day 1!

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.

-Foxtrot756d ago

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

gamesftw250755d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface755d ago

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

PapaBop755d 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.

Inverno755d 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

XiNatsuDragnel756d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps755d ago

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

Pudge102888755d ago (Edited 755d 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

pr33k33755d 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.

Pudge102888755d 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_D3TH755d 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.
