yeah i am not buying it until i see action.
remember after chapter 4 in BFV they promised the same thing and to listen to the community, yet they went and changed the TTK another two times against the wish of basically all players in thr forums, in fact i am sure not a single person asked for another entire blank TTK redo...

Yep agreed @X-Sunslayer-X ,

Talk is cheap!

And from the EA/DICE marketing BS machine we got plenty of that in recent months, up until launch of the final product.

And it was evident to all what a terrible poor shape and mess it was in.

And nowhere near to be able to offer a gaming experience it was all hyped up to give us.

This is basically my stance with Live Service in general.  The instant a company announces a "live service" game, you can expect that to mean "early access" and at least a year before it will resemble a complete game.  And in the case of EA, they don't even follow through.  They cut Battlefront 2 after 2 years and BFV after a year and a half.  So basically, they are saying "live service" but sticking to the same delivery cadence as Premium Pass...just with maybe half the content.

So why get this game?  The 128 players and Portal, neither of which have panned out well.  But I also didn't go in expecting long term play.  I was fine if a month or two was all I got with all the games on the way this year.

As for sticking around for this new direction?  No thanks.  I think Battlefield's best days are behind it, and other things will be coming out.  We are at the dawn of a new console generation.  Who knows what we will be getting or what new direction games will take.by the time they get the next Battlefield out.

At the same time, I won't say never.  Maybe it falls into a neat window like this one did.  Or maybe I just wait 6 months to a year like I have done COD in the past when I got tired of it.
