Re: Just a reminder Dice - BF4 is very active right now

I think everybody is either getting ready or really not happy with the beta right now.   They are going back to what they feel comfortable with perhaps.

One final note,  BF4 had what no other BF had after, loadout variety - you could mix and match thousands of combination of attachments and not be bored.  It also had (IMO) the best loadout setup the franchise ever had and they abandoned it.  It was easy to use and navigate.  BF1s was ok, and BF5 just destroyed it.  Not being able to change tanks option in game or between matches was just horrible.   

Several things/ideas could have been used to make BF2042 great from the previous versions but it seems someone at Dice or EA missed what made BF great to begin with.  Some of these changes smacks at trying to included what other Titles did to make them successful.  But that was the point isn't it.  They did something geared to the player base for those titles and here they seem to be missing that.  Maybe there needs to be a fresh look at BF from those people who just look at the dollar signs.  I mean I know that's the point of making these games, money, but if they were to reflect on what made BF4 so popular, still to this day then they would have no trouble bring in the dollars. 

I hope they remember to see what made BF4 a success, even after it had so much trouble in the beginning.  Here's to hoping 🙂

Maybe because EA promised us that BF2042 would be BF3/BF4 on steroids.

But so far it's BF3/BF4 on Halcion, with some hallucinogenic and delusional side effects...???

Think that the real-deal BF4 is the best medicine to recover from that !  😎

Because people would rather play a real BF franchise game (BF4) than whatever BF2042 is.  2042 is available right now and players are instead choosing to play BF4.  Dice/EA should pay attention to this.

BF4 has always been love 🙌

@CyberDymeWhile I agree they guided us to have that expectation indirectly with marketing, and the universe they are expanding upon given continuing story of BF4, playing devils advocate, they never came out and promised it would be BF4 on steroids outright.

As far as I recollect, it was actually a term coined by Christian Grass, Ripple Effects (formerly known as the EA DICE LA Studio) at a sit-down session in the spring at the reveal:

Multiplayer will feature bigger and better battles and can be described as Battlefield 3/4 on steroids.

Think it was when the Portal feature was to be revealed, as quotes continues also with the 'love letter to the fans' part... 

Portal is a new community-driven experience that gives players the freedom to write their own rules and shape their own battlefield. You can mix and match content from Battlefield 1942, Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3, and Battlefield 2042. Then you can share and discover those on the Portal platform,,, Ripple Effect's Christian Grass said.

That's just what's coming at launch. This is a real love-letter to fans from our incredible team...
