Repetition of the Same Mistakes
Watching the Hazard Zone reveal was an interesting experience, and highlighted several things for me. The first being that DICE is trying something somewhat new with a BR-like mode, which is cool, bu...

@TONYBOY56--_ The main person in charge of Battlefield is an ex-Call of Duty Executive. He has successfully destroyed Battlefield's identity. What you are witnessing is Activision launching an act of war.
@SilverJoystixx What's the guys name? I think I know who you're referring to I just can't recall whom

It was announced June 1st this year, that Byron Beede, the former Call of Duty and Destiny General Manager, had been appointed as the new SVP and GM of the entire Battlefield franchise, which perhaps “signals a strategic, long-term commitment to the growth of the franchise.”
Beede played a huge role in the development of both Call of Duty and Destiny, even playing an integral part in the growth of Warzone and Call of Duty Mobile, which are extremely popular.
So Bryan Beede will also be directing the new Battlefield Mobile entity set for next year as well as any new Battlefield games.
Beede left Activision and Call of Duty in April 2021, when Activision announced that Johanna Faries would take over as General Manager of Call of Duty...
Beede reports directly to Respawn founder Vince Zampella, who took over as head of DICE LA last year. DICE Stockholm GM, Oskar Gabrielson, and EA European studios GGM David Rutter saw no changes to their positions, but obviously its a clustered mismash now of highranking VPs all battling for decisions on getting their way with the BF game and its future... (DICE Stockholm was named the lead studio for the BF2042 game, remember.)
Too many cooks in the kitchen if you ask me...
@CyberDyme Thank you for diving deep on this. It makes sense now why Portals has seems to have much more emphasis from the now Ripple Effect Studio to bring more of the classic feel. Almost seems as though they knew a lot of old school fans wouldn't be as pleased with what All Out Warfare was going to offer.
Good ol DICE LA. That being said, it still saddens me a bit to see the main game mode feel so far from the previous entries. I'm hoping that release day feels different. So here's to hoping 🍸
- @SilverJoystixx Byron Beede ? This guy joined EA lead team in june its impossibly make shift in direction in 3 months or more when the process iniciate a long time ago.
- @SilverJoystixx if this is true then everything makes perfect sense now. Now i understand why we see people sliding up hills or grapple hooking around the map. or other cheese ball mechanics you would see on a CoD game.
