Product-Reviews writes: With Actvision announcing their premium Elite service for the upcoming Modern Warfare 3 and other supported COD games, you just knew that EA were going to launch a counter attack with their own move, and they look to have found the answer with their Battlelog service.
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
Chance Glasco, one of the co-founders of Infinity Ward and creators of the Call of Duty franchise, has claimed that Activision once pressured the studio to include an invasion of Israel by Iran.
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
Elite costs money, Battlelog does not... I think I know which one I'm going to choose here.
Don't care about either. Make me a good game.
EA isn't always the good guy here.. they made us pay $10 for maps that were locked on the disk(they took no download to play the maps) :/ and we only got most of them like a few months ago
Bungie has had incredibly detailed stats for Halo 3, Halo 3 ODST (Firefight) and Halo: Reach on bungie.net. Their stat tracking is amazing to say the least. I can still go look up to see how I did in my very first Halo 3 MP match.
That said, I like the dig EA is taking at Activision. I may buy MW3, but it won't be full retail price and I damn sure won't pay for Elite. I'm definitely interested in Battlefield 3 as well. Them announcing this makes it that much more interesting.
