Preordered when i saw the portal announcement, probably wouldn't have if it wasn't in as i'm squarely in the "series has been meh since BF1/battlefront" category.
I have pre-ordered pretty much every title since BC2 when it was possible though, but between not getting the same feeling from BF1/5 and just some burnout in general i was going to wait and see.
I didn't think BF1/5 were total trainwrecks by the way, i think i'm more tired of the ww1/2 settings vs current or future settings.
That, and the loss of community servers and an almost complete absence of moderation at the best of times in 1/5 plus the clownshow that was battlefront and... Anthem, though that wasn't dice's fault.
Basically, like Bioware, EA/Dice had hit the wait and see category rather than automatic pre-order, but even if it's the usual hilarity of bugs at launch, i'll be ok if portal is even half of what they promise and hence they got my money.
Well, they *will* eventually get my money, because pre-order doesn't mean pay right away for some reason, which actually irks me as i hate not having the option of paying right then and there.
(pre-ordered the FFXIV expansion coming up and the destiny expansion, both of which let me pay immediately if i wanted. Just give me the damn option EA!)
