"Is Visceral admitting the game needs further work?"

What the hell kind of headline is this? It's a beta, of course it's in need of more work...

TankCrossing4009d ago

And it is fairly standard practice to send an email out thanking all the beta testers.

If each one was personally composed by the CEO then it'd be news worthy, but a standard bulk "thanks and we hope you buy the game" really doesn't register as interesting.

Hk85karlsson4009d ago

Haha the absolute most horrific comment I´ve read on N4G =)
A beta that needs more work.
-U must be crazy.

But...then again, we all now that a game that´s ready is a long lost memory.
Today, we´re all betatesters. It all depends on when/where we´re let in, in the dev cycle.

games crap such a bf rip off has zero identity besides a reskinned bf. doesnt matter how much work they put into it its not going to be worth the price of a full game. all it is, is a bf4 expansion and thats it. even though compared to bf it looks worse and plays worse.....

Rob Hornecker4009d ago

After all the BS with bug plagued BF4 ,I want to know where my XB360 and XB Uno beta is?????

Once again i feel like i've been shafted !!!!

FalloutWanderer20774009d ago

You have been pal,look! you have some fresh poo dripping down your leg from the exit of their a$$ f**king! Those bastards!!!

HollowedSoul144009d ago

don't worry about it you're not missing out on anything. games just a regurgitated bf4, even looks and plays like vomit...dl'ded the pc beta played it and its garbage has zero identity its just an bf4 expansion pack. EA is a money grabbing joke.

ScottyHoss4008d ago

NGL, you didn't miss much :P a map with two game modes

Matt6664009d ago

I took part in the beta but I gt no email

mixelon4009d ago

The hell? Seduce? There was nothing even slightly sinister about a thankyou message for a beta of all things.. Crazy writing.

FalloutWanderer20774009d ago (Edited 4009d ago )

Well, that is you buddy! I for one had a strong sensation to disrobe and make love to my...HUH what were we talking about again!?

sAVAge_bEaST4009d ago (Edited 4009d ago )

This was one of my harder platinums to get, mainly because the game was the beginning of the Battlefield decline, this game was horrible.

Yi-Long237d ago

DLC for shooters generally splits the player-base between ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’, and it often means that servers became less populated and as a result, many dropped the game completely once that happened …

myDorazio237d ago

Yeah, kind of ironic isn't it. If they had released it a year later with the DLC part of the base experience, it would have gotten a bigger audience.

Hardline at least tried to mix things up for the first time in a while. This was pretty much the nail in the coffin for Visceral though.

MDTunkown242d ago

The map were to small for a lot of ideas, riding around two streets was stupid

Cacabunga242d ago

Yet another great decision made by EA. They really know what they’re doing

just_looken242d ago (Edited 242d ago )

The vip mode was a great idea but the whole game had that need more time in the oven feeling. My only big issue with hardline as a whole was the smgs.

But vip plus c4 classic

GAMERJET242d ago

Hardline was my favorite Battlefield.

Demetrius242d ago

Hardline was fun af, nice size areas to get around in. Got a good 10 hours out of it because I took my time much as I can. Sucha good story and atmosphere

RavenWolfx242d ago

I didn't even know this was something that had been requested. A new Bad Company, oh hell yeah. Hardline? Not so much.

HyperMoused242d ago

Hardline was great for what it was and it had the best MP mode with the moving hardpoints, if you havnt played it the hard points to capture were vehicles, with points earned for how long you are in one, so its this huge mash up of ground warfare and taking out vehicles and getting in one and tearing ass trying not to get blown up...was awesome.
