What happened DICE?
To whom it may concern, Like many others, I have played every Battlefield since it was first released. I fell in love with the intricate maps, the multiple game styles, the heavy emphases on team pl...
So James, After reading all that there is quite alot of, issues as I'm a Veteran myself and I go back and replay old titles often with a group of friends. If you were to side by side compare BF:V to 1942,Vietnam,2,2142,3,4,1,Hardline, Bad Company series, Heroes,F2p and 1943 and ignore the graphics and effects and look straight into the soul of the game you would find this.
Forced teamplay, Better Communication,Better Balance (in the form of capping players really good at, flying,tanking,sniping and shooting) vs players who arnt and give them to tools to succeed without holding their hand (Cough BF1) Rewards for helping your team besides getting kills and basic revives, Bringing MORE to the battlefield without tilting the scale of OP and NERFed, and Idea after Idea that should've been in battlefield YEARS ago.
Now it seems mainly you're upset that people who waited to the buy the game(Who would do that?) got a discount, (Those happen on BlackFriday?) but players like myself who paid full price got to play the game 5 days early while Players who paid for the delux got to play almost 2 weeks early. What ever discount you manage to find, those 2 weeks of game time broken down into hours vs the sale price. I was paying 9 cents an hour to play the game Almost a Month before those who got the sale.
You could also wait 6 months before buying that way all the bugs are squished and there are several content drops to work torwards. But you didnt want to wait,thus you're in this pickle of trying to blame someone else.
SirTenko my issue isn't the discount at all and I want to make perfectly clear that is not the core of my concerns with this franchise, as I mentioned it was just simply insult to injury.
My problem with DICE at the moment is for the past year or so they have been more focused on revenue than improving the game itself and you cannot deny that.
As I said in the message I wrote if you'd care to re-read the second paragraph, bugs is something all games will be subjected to and as the player base we should take the initiative to notify the development team so they can fix them and therefore make the game better.
My point was the disconnect between DICE and the community that has been growing over the passed year and due to this the sales targets have not been met, the share price of EA has plummeted over 6 months, caused massive delays and further drop in faith, constantly changing situations we are just expected to accept after being tols one thing and then shown another....if you wish to focus on the discount, that is a direct result of the community losing faith which has caused DICE/EA to reduce the price of the game 50% within 2 weeks of launch for veteran players who 99.99% have already bought the game.
I am not blaming people for what I paid for a game because as I said I wish to support this franchise, however I do maintain the belief we should have an open dialogue and allow DICE to hear what the community thinks
