The Battlefield 4 online community is angry with DICE, enough that they have revealed plans to protest by closing the game’s servers.

Entitled gamers going after a money hungry business, sounds like a good battle.

tee_bag2423823d ago

Try and read the story? How are they entitled when they are paying for the server?

XBLSkull3822d ago

Lol... do they really believe they are closing servers? Really all it does is populate legit servers and not "if you kill me with an M203 I ban you" servers... How about you just protest Hardline by not buying the game because it ****'s on everything Battlefield stands for...

venom063822d ago (Edited 3822d ago )

#1 Can't wait for Hardline and Battlefront. #2 this is SOOOOOO not a major issue and shouldn't be posted at the top like its a hot major topic... BF4 runs great now (many of the issues were taken care of LONG TIME AGO) and is looking at good things to come in the future for the game. This a little small group of people in Germany that are whining about stuff that really isn't that major. That title of this stupid article makes it seem like there's a wide spread effort/movement in the community for this so-called "protest" when it isn't.. Click bait at most.. The game is fun as hell and EA sucks

DragoonsScaleLegends3822d ago

Paying for a server is no different then buying the game and should not earn you special treatment like these gamers are expecting in my opinion. If you want to know what is going on behind the scenes go work for them.

cyclindk3822d ago

You are entitled to your opinion, did you pay for that?

Actually I support your comment :)

I hope gamer beat the money hungry business of ea.

Ps4andxb13822d ago

And the end result of that is zero games.

Good plan !!

NuggetsOfGod3822d ago (Edited 3822d ago )

And the result of that is better games.

Good plan !!

Conzul3822d ago

Better no games than bad games.
We can go play outside till the good ones get here. Maybe make some money or something.

quenomamen3822d ago

Everybody in business is by definition after money, that's why people go into business. Do you have a job ? Then you are after money, do you want to always make more money or less in the future ?

AtomicGerbil3822d ago (Edited 3822d ago )

If the end result of my work was anywhere near as bad as what we are seeing lately, I would no longer have a job. I would likely be up in front of a judge also.

There is making a living, and then there is making obscene amounts of undeserved money. Everybody should strive for something between the two, whereas some of these publishers will accept no less than the latter.

How long has the BF community asked for Dinosaurs as a fun gameplay mode to Vs. CoD zombies?

yeah.. they won't be listening anytime soon, especially with EA holding their strings.

JsonHenry3823d ago

After EA ruining my favorite game series of all time, Command and Conquer, I have little to no faith in them ever actually listening to fans and what it is we are willing to pay for and be happy with.

Vegamyster3822d ago

C&C is also my favorite series but i wouldn't say they ruined it, the only truly bad one was C&C 4, Generals/ZeroHour, TW3/KW, RA3 were great/good games.

MRMagoo1233822d ago

I stopped playing command and conquer when they added giant robot mechs and dolphins with lasers.

JsonHenry3821d ago

I agree with you. CnC4 was what did it in. That and the fact they cancelled the last CnC game they were making and they website hasn't been updated in years.

iSuperSaiyanGod3823d ago

So are they ending online in bf4 or what? I don't get it lol

dieger3823d ago

You could read the article....you know just a though...

iSuperSaiyanGod3823d ago (Edited 3823d ago )

I did ... Before you state something stupid . You could answer the question I asked . If you can't just move on then

Skate-AK3822d ago (Edited 3822d ago )

It only has the possibility to affect you if you play on the PC. I don't know why they want to do this. According to the article, they don't think they will make any changes soon if they do this anyways.

"No, we don't believe this will make DICE change anything _soon_ but on the other hand the attention already is there. Maybe Dice uses it productively to show they are willing to work on the issues and listen to this alliance of admins."

CaptainFaisal3822d ago

No they will not, its just that the community is protesting EA for letting us pay for servers and not get them for free! And the community are hoping to raise awareness and end the greed! I dout they will listen and change anything but who knows? If EA claim they are better now and listen to the people they might remove rent a server from all games and we can get them for free now ! :)

battlefield is berfect for a zombie apocalypse since the maps are big.

I want to see dinos in killing floor 2.

LaWiiG3823d ago

I think BF4 was rushed anyways. Hardline is riding the same rails. I dunno. I'll just go back to playing BF3 now XD

Mikeyy3823d ago

private servers suck anyway, they all have noob rules.

They are all owned by pansy heli pilots who ban anybody that dares end their 40-0 streak with a rocket launcher.

ifistbrowni3823d ago

or banish you for taking "their" vehicles.

Kiwi663823d ago

Or my favorite is they ban you for just joining their server seconds after you enter it

MikEyG3822d ago

Jerry Cantrell,Nice!!!!!!! Big Fan here.

Mikeyy3822d ago

Thank you I got to see Alice in Chains this summer in Cleveland. Was a great show!

MikEyG3821d ago

Awesome,I seen him in raleigh NC over the summer. And back in 02 when he was touring for Degradation Trip. The man never looses his touch.

bmf73643822d ago (Edited 3822d ago )

If anything I want this protest to be a call for DICE to return to having official servers on PC. The PC community sucks for this reason alone. The community has too much control of how the game plays on PC and that's bullshit

MRMagoo1233822d ago

It's like that on console as well. Most servers are made so that the owner can sit in a chopper the whole match and if you dare take him down you get kicked. Letting people dictate the rules of servers is just ridiculous ,unless they are private only then just do what ever.

bmf73643821d ago

It's worse when you have a server using plugins that dictate what a player can or cannot do

Sadist33823d ago

People die because of the rules? Seriously? What kind of crap is that. The whole rent-a-server was the worst idea Dice implemented anyway. People purchased Battlefield to play Battlefield, not some fools version of battlefield with ridiculous admin rules. Like those idiots who have operation metro only servers, or no mobile artillery...really? They should do away with the rented servers and just have Dice servers

Helloween133822d ago

They should do away with it all and bring back Bad Company

Antifan3822d ago

Operation metro is one of the only maps i play. The battles are a lot more intense. A lot of vantage points and battlelines on that map.

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.

-Foxtrot1179d ago

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

gamesftw2501178d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1177d ago

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

PapaBop1178d 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.

Inverno1178d 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

XiNatsuDragnel1179d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1178d ago

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

Pudge1028881178d ago (Edited 1178d 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

pr33k331178d 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.

Pudge1028881178d 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_D3TH1178d 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
