It is no secret that Battlefield 4 had one of the worst launches on major consoles and PC in recent memory. The game was plagued by stability and connectivity issues for months causing many to hit the internet with complaints. As complaints kept pouring in, EA and DICE announced a full dedication to resolving issues on all platforms before working on any other projects. Once the issues were finally fixed, the team announced that February would be ‘Battlefield Appreciation Month‘. The promotion ends today and has me wondering if my time and money was restored."
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.
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.
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
Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.
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
if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.
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.
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
The shooter genre is one of the most beloved videogame genres in the gaming community, and rightfully so. From DOOM Eternal to Battlefield 4, passing through The Outer Worlds, the Xbox Game Pass has a lot to offer when it comes to amazing shooter experiences. Come check out some great shooter games available on Xbox Game Pass!
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.
KeenGamer: "Sometimes a game starts out as a buggy mess and we all just stop and think, “that definitely could have spent a bit more time in the oven”. This is the case for these 5 games which infamously marked their place in recent game memory."
I guess they were trying, so you have to give them credit for that.
Overall, I think that brand has been damaged to a large extent after the whole release fiasco. I will delay my purchase of their next game due to what has happened, as I'm sure many fans will and that is indeed a shame.
Hopefully they learned from what they did and provide a product that is more complete in the future.
"Once the issues were finally fixed."
When the hell did that happen?
I can honestly say that all the BS that they let us down with has made it a chore for me to put the damn thing in my console. I feel extremely let down with this game.
@BALLARD32 What console are you on?
The only issues I have are getting bounced to the dashboard from time to time. However, that might be an Xbox One/MS issue as it happens in other games as well.
Once upon a time (1942, BF:BC2) I was all over forums, saying how far Superior BF was, compared to say -CoD.
Since BF3, i become more quite, until BF4, where I lost all hope in the series.
The sad truth is that play more Search&Destroy, currently on my alternate account, than I do BF on my main account.
BF just isn't what it used to be.
