The censory is just a move to let all of the kids play Battlefield anyway. Because the adults appreciate uncensored content and I think that COD alone has proven that. No, I think its because they want the little monsters that are wrecking everything to approve and thus buy the title. It doesn't really matter to me, I've already bought it, and the ultimate edition at that, but its pretty clear that it sits better with monster mommy and daddy if there is a elaborate censorship in place because they all suffered so much already, wouldn't it be the only thing to do would be cater to them unrelentingly. And hey, it gives you bucks, where there wasn't any before. And to heck with all of the 'real' Battlefield fans and their style of preference because hey, little poopo wants to play and his dad will pay, either way.

EA has missions statement to have a safe and fair play in our games. @disintegratorx Recommend reading it up here: https://www.ea.com/commitments/positive-play/Atic

Maybe Battlefield is just Not an Adult's Game Anymore

It's normally good practice to establish context at the beginning of a conversation.

There is one, it was called censorship...

That does not provide context for the conversation unless you wish to talk about censorship in a general sense; in which case this isn't really the place for it.

LMAOO. Dude, you know what I'm talking about, if not then let's say the chat. It was part of our whole experience, at least us on the PC. And not everything that was said 'in the chat' I agreed or would agree with but it was certainly a sight to behold an uncensored, raw chat because it was at least letting you know that you were in a Battlefield game and it was an all out war. Not so much with the cencored chat. Its more like an all out gimmee. With no style.

The chat filter in BFV is ridiculous.
Just today I wanted to ask an old acquaintance of mine I saw on the server: "Is that your actual level or are you smurfing?" The chat filter censored the *ing at the end and showed the question as: "Is that your actual level or are you smurf****"

@disintegratorx My 6th Grade teacher used to say that if you have to constantly use cursing and vulgarities to make your point, you have a "poverty-stricken vocabulary." I agree with her.

Let everyone have customizable chat filters and the problem will take care of itself.

And just for kicks and giggles, please tell me what makes someone a "real" Battlefield fan?

Just the love of the game, Kendal. If it is done right, you can feel the sense of being on a team and it can even be even more than that. There is a lot of self driven strategy as well and yes its a very big amount of fun with the chat (before the censoring), in fact that was a huge thing was to read what other people are saying while you are playing the game. It was a signature thing, that's how I would describe it. And I wouldn't even bother posting if I wasn't a hardcore fan of the game, In reality my principles coincide with what's better for the game too. Like I said, I wouldn't even bother posting if I didn't feel like I do as pertaining to the censorship anywhere but in the chat most importantly.
Also a lot of people have big issues on not reading what was said. But they post anyway. I never said that the game should have gore, I respect that from DICE. No, I was talking about blood. That would take care of the gore feature and yes it would make it a lot more immersive as someone put it. Also the blood wouldn't have to be phenomenal or anything, It could be a great service to the game if they could find a way to boost the blood in time, somehow. I did see one thing in the previews where the one guy melee'd the other dude and blood came from his neck right before he snatched his dog tag. That looked good and that's what I am referring to when I mention it. Not necessarily gory but the point got across very well. Also when a player gets killed by a gun, sometimes there should be a spot where he got shot of blood sometimes. Yes much more immersive is what I'm saying, but also like I said it doesn't have to be all the time, just sometimes to make it a big time game. I realize that it would take time to do. All I am asking for is for DICE to consider what I posted as I am only 'looking out' for them and I do want to see the game be a huge success as well as enjoyable for me, the "real" Battlefield fan. lol

@disintegratorx I can certainly appreciate you wanting the game to be successful and enjoyable, but please understand that there is no cookie-cutter criteria you have to meet, or things you must support, in order to be a "real" fan of the game.

There are a lot of BF fans out there, but we don't always agree on everything--as evidenced by some of the forum posts lol. If you enjoy playing the game, and you would recommend it to your friends, you are a fan. Nothing else is needed.

Some people are fans of the aerial combat. Some are fans of sniping. Some people are fans of large maps and vehicular combat. Some people want a chat filter. Some don't. At the end of the day, we're all still fans, in our own ways. Please, don't consider someone else less of a fan--or not a fan, at all--just because their preferences are just a bit different from yours.

I hope you get what you want from the new game, and I hope to see you on the battlefield.

@disintegratorx While I get it, we are getting old. Many of us are breaking off and not finding time for games anymore. The customer size base that we make up is getting smaller, and with that it naturally won’t be marketed as much towards us anymore. From a business standpoint they’ll always try to market towards the widest base possible as to get more people interested to purchase the game, but as far as the core, slowly but surely, it won’t be us anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not particularly happy with certain directions they’ve gone. Overall, I’m hopeful and excited about the finished product when it gets to our respective systems of choice.
