Re: bf4 ru/pl into english

We are seeing a rising amount of contacts regarding Russian and Polish players wanting to exchange their Russian/Polish version of Battlefield 4 for an English copy of the game. This copy of the game that these players have purchased costs less than the English version, it does not have an English language track included on the install and this is working as intended. As such, you should under no circumstance exchange a Russian copy of the game for an English copy of the game.

  • I still hope the language will be available? Somebody from the Origin support chat told me EA is doing this? We never got a choice to purchase an English version, although Origin is set to English I got a Polish Version of the game and I can't change it. Can I pay extra and get the English version? 
    This is all very annoying

    Ok. So how can I pay an extra for an english language then? 

    I wasn't even offered an option when I did a preorder. 

  • But you didn't give us any choice! We would gladly pay the same price for the international release, but we can't! WOuld it be so hard to put both of the versions in Origin store so we could decide for ourselves? You have mislead our retailers as well and since I have friends among them, I have all the proof for that.

  • Hey 

  • Less than english to who.. to UK citizen sure, but to US citizen, it is the same bloody price. Why legit customers are being punished for your money mongering wishes ?!?!

  • Are you serious??

    1) We have no choice to buy English version, you just force us to buy this cut (YES, CUT) version. CN soldiers speak chinese with mixed russian, US soldiers speak russian. And you say me the game is working as intended??? When I play RU vs US I can't even understand who is who because both teams speak one language which is originally not meant by developers. You just said DICE to hardcode this restriction and add DRM to force RU/PL language. It's a pure impudence from your side.

    2) What do you think why we have lower price? Maybe because we have worse economic situation and salaries? If I've paid less due to fair price policy it doesn't mean I should get a cut game.

    3) We all know you made it just to prevent any RU/PL key sales, but why we, customers, should be affected by your decision? You raise prices over and over again and then say me "you didn't pay enough to have English language, get out". Is it fair?

    I have preordered the game. I had no idea that the game was cheaper because of the lack of english audio. I was not able to buy other version containing english audio at the time. You have massively failed the gaming community EA. We demand a language fix. You took something of a standard from us. Is there any possibility of paying for the ability to download english language ? If the reason is price then there should be a possibility to upgrade the product. Otherwise change the name of the product to "Battlefield 4 PL" instead of "Battlefield 4" because it is not the same product and this whole situation is a lie to customers. In addition it is not a full PL version because in multiplayer when playing as RU or CH you hear russian and chinese.  You will be remembered as the worst game distrubutors in history. We will make sure of that. Enjoy the extreme low user scores for your product at the metacritic.com. Have a nice day. 

  • I agree totally. No way the game can be played in that dubbed version. Very poor quality. The game should be named "Battlefield type game"

    Why the hell Mexicans got English version and we did not? Explain that EA!!

    (I have nothing againts Mexicans - no offense)

    What is going to be next? Are we going to get only APV's and no tanks since you are selling cheaper versions in our region?

    Or are we going to fight with sticks instead of knives?

    Who asked you to do it ? I would pay more to get ENG. But there was no option to do it.

    If price differences are the main reason, how much will language pack cost and when will it be avaiable? Because it will be avaiable, I am sure of that. Yet another simple way for EA to scam people for money. If you managed to sell product that barely works, you should be able to charge for something that was always included in similiar products. Easy money.

    Now the thing is... as far as I know, PL/RUS version in Russia was really much cheaper than EU version... half price, I think? I bought the same version in Poland for 3/4 of EU price. So how come 1/4 difference in price between EU and Poland results in product stripped of some functions, but the same difference between Poland and Russia results in ABSOLUTELY NOTHING? ARE YOU TRYING TO BE FUNNY?

    You like to periodically ask customers if they would recommend your products (mostly Origin) to friends. Well... I would not. Getting them from torrents on the other hand... that is something I would recommend. Scammers should not get paid in any way.

  • Why "go **bleep** yourself" is marked as a solution to this problem?

  • Eabarry must marked that as a solution himself... I have seen them (our moderators) doing that themselves...
