Why Battlefield 1 Doesn't Need a Premium Service

It's unknown as of yet if Battlefield Premium will be coming to Battlefield 1, leaving some hope the service might be getting the chop.

ArchangelMike3622d ago

Did we ever need Season Passes in the first place? There was once a time when Map Packs, ulockable skins, secret levels and weapons all came free with the game and where unlock by completign the game on different difficulty settings.

Kyosuke_Sanada3621d ago

Agreed. Proper expansions are few and far between with reasonable pricing to boot. Great article.

jessionpc3621d ago

I remember those days... :'(

annoyedgamer3621d ago

EA been on a roll righting some of their past wrongs at least with the BF series. Why not right one more wrong?

badz1493621d ago

LOL keep dreaming! there will be Premium for BF1

jessionpc3621d ago

These companies don't right wrongs, they milk consumers with an act, then observe the market.

EA is pure evil in the gaming industry, and any, "positive", choice they make certainly isn't with good intentions and friendship at their side, kissing and hugging. Don't ever trust a thing these people do. Be a smart consumer and buy when it's most advantageous to you.

I am a huge hater of EA and those that follow me know that. Im just ebbing them on even if I know its futile EA is pure corporate scum, they partner with Disney..another disgusting corporation. Ubisoft is waiting on the sidelines with Activision to jump in and take the crown any day.

And believe me I won't pay full price for BF1, I payed $4.00 for BF4 on an XBL sale. I think I will get BF1 earlier and spend a bit more but definitely not at $110 COUGH I mean $60/.

n4rc3621d ago

No chance.. of course they'll do a premium like they always do..

As far as season passes go, I never minded bf premium and bought it twice (bf3 and 4)

annoyedgamer3621d ago (Edited 3621d ago )

EA thanks you for your continued support.

Now you know why they keep putting in the season passes.

hint: its folks like you

n4rc3621d ago

There is nothing wrong with season passes, if done right.. I've always felt the map packs were worth the money and the extras are decent enough..

And thanks for the tip.. wasn't aware companies put out products for people that buy them. Lol

danny8183620d ago

Out of all the games that offer DLC Premium passes i will pay for BF1. The battelfield series has always showed my moneys worth. Ive been playing bf4 since launch.

DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 1 In The Next Game

For DICE to succeed with its next game, it has to return to the roots of the franchise. Atmospheric map design, clear and defined class-based gameplay, attention to detail, and total chaos. Battlefield 1 feels like every rock, every glint on your sniper rifle, every falling brick from a collapsing church, has been painstakingly considered. So much care went into the design of the game, from its soundtrack to its costume department. To stand a chance alongside the behemoths of Treyarch and Infinity Ward, DICE needs to recapture what made their old games so brilliant, otherwise it’s all over.

"DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 3 In The Next Game"

/Fixed

...on a serious note, DICE needs to remove the Battlefield name.

isarai1289d ago

Eh, bfbc2 was the peak for me, only ad dogfighting and the accommodations that come with it. Every BF after that was such an unsatisfying progression system for weapons and gear for the classes, 90% of the guns feel exactly the same when you unlock them, just felt boring in comparison. Not to mention the gimped destruction as the series progressed

Sciurus_vulgaris1289d ago

I found Battlefield 1 to be overrated. The gameplay was simpler and less strategic than its predecessors. Battlefield 1 did have a woo-factor, but the gameplay got repetitive faster than Battlefield 4 in my opinion.

porkChop1289d ago

If DICE needs to return to the roots of the franchise then why would they look at Battlefield 1? BF1 is overly simplified and streamlined. What DICE should focus on is Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2. Those two games were the pinnacle of the franchise.

TheEnigma3131289d ago

BC2 was the best. they need to get back to that.

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.

-Foxtrot1520d ago

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

gamesftw2501519d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1518d ago

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

PapaBop1519d 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.

Inverno1519d 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

XiNatsuDragnel1520d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1519d ago

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

Pudge1028881519d ago (Edited 1519d 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

pr33k331519d 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.

Pudge1028881519d 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_D3TH1519d 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

Grabbed Panzer Dragoon, the Darkness, Conker Reloaded, Burnout Revenge, Time Splitters 2, Fight Night Champions, and Stuntman Ignition.

Essentially some of the classics that I can't get on PC, now that I have a Series S.
