If this holds me like CoD 4 (which I still play to this day), then money well spent!

I do expect these games to be finished when they ship but if a day 1 patch works out all of the bugs (or at least most of them) then I don't really care. As long as it works the first time I go to pay it then whatever.

if you want a bug free game i heard Tetris is pretty good.

Besides, after a game goes gold the developers do not all go off and drink champagne, usually they sit around and carry on looking for bugs or ways to optimise. The time between gold and retail often spawns a patch.

I wish someone can get those EA game leaks to see all the cut content ngl

anast502d ago

Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.

FallenAngel1984|1287d ago |Opinion piece|22|

Whether it comes through remakes or a new game with a similar style, DICE should aim to revive the glory days of Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2.

hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D

You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.

Why are they so reluctant to create a new Bad Company??

Single player campaigns take time and effort... EA ain't got time for that.

Fluke_Skywalker1287d ago

DICE have already stated that they actually don't know how to. They literally have no idea what made BC2 so good and clearly have no idea how to repeat it.

Yui_Suzumiya1287d ago

Definitely agree with the title. If they make Bad Company 3 then that would definitely be a step in the right direction!

ChubbyBlade1287d ago

It’s done. The current development team has no idea why people liked BF.

Which is so ignorant it almost physically hurts.

They have the damn templates lol. Everyone LOVED Battlefield all the way up through BF4. Everything after BF4 is where fans started getting divided because they started dumbing down the gameplay.

So they need to go back to the favorites. Bad Company 2. BF3 and BF4.

Take those games. Take the exact same gameplay. Update the graphics. Add some different game modes. Make new maps. Add new guns. Choose two armies. And make a single player campaign.

That's seriously it. They need to quit trying to make BF something it isn't. They have everything they need. Why they can't figure this out just hurts my brain trying to understand.

Orchard1287d ago

BF3? They need to go back to BF2 for the mainline. Heck, I'd settle for true-to-source remakes of BF2 and BC2 (w/ Vietnam). Everything they've done in the 'modern' era is just bad.

CorndogBurglar1287d ago

Anything from BF2 - BF4 would work fine. Those were all great games.

MadLad1287d ago

I thought BF3 and 4 were great, and I've been playing since 1942.

Demetrius1287d ago (Edited 1287d ago )

Doubt they will smh which is messed up

I've not played 2042 myself but after v I don't feel like it. I played a few hours of v with friends but it feels ultra sterile I can't figure it out but the game looks and feels clinical. The storys in the campaign were also bland and uninteresting and felt like a dull trudge through checkpoints as you waited for an ending.

I've played the franchise dating back to it's original PC launch and PS2 spin off games I did enjoy 1 overall and it's take on placing you in different scenarios and battles was interesting but not all that good imo as you couldn't really connect with any characters longer than 2 hours.

hardline for all the hate it recived was a fun story and a new take but a bad mp game

I feel like v overall was the turning point and instead of showing the gritty reality of war they turned everything sterile and presented it in a clean cut boring frame in order to pump it full of weird micro transactions overall they spent far to much time on trying to implant ray tracing and other graphical flourishes and forgot to make the game enjoyable
