We need a new PvZ shooter
It's been too quiet for too long. BfN lost new content support over a year ago now, and the playerbase is mostly focused on GW2 from what I can see from playing online, the video content on YouTube, ...

@Iron_Guard8 you mention that GW is already 7 years old, and of course GW2 is 5, but what does worry me is that GW2 is already showing its age and more so than GW; probably because GW2 has always been plagued with bugs of one sort or an other even while it was being supported, and not so GW.
When playing GW2 I experience problems such as:
1) Stock Pea disappears from my character list when playing the Town Hall quests
2) The game freezes, particularly when I use the Engineer's Jackhammer
3) The Kill Counter does not register kills properly (that is the most debilitating error of all. I have let off a Shuck Shot right in the face of a Toxic Brainz in Legendary mode. Knocked him out, but no kill is registered! And knocking out a Tox B in legendary mode is undoubtedly the most satifying of kills.)
4) I get thrown off the server in mid-game (Can't quite remember if this happened while the game was being supported)
5) When entering a game I have found myself placed underneath the road surface and can follow players walking above me.
Bit of a pain, as I really like GW2 and prefer it to all other games in the Garden Warfare franchise, and would hate to see it become unplayable for the reason that @stukapooka puts perfectly, namely overall polish.
@PerniciousPea I've had the game freeze more lately also. I've also been getting kicked from the server more these days, sometimes with just a few seconds left in the game.
The hacking, with players playing as bosses or spawning endless AIs is also still a problem. Yesterday there were four Iron Citrons playing as Zombies. I was a zombie but they seemed to be invincible. Just weird and to me pointless. Sometimes the hacking is harmless; sometimes it makes the games unplayable. I've been seeing a lot more cheating the last few weeks. Recently a player had 119 vanquishes - I've never seen that before even with players who cheat. Yesterday a player had 45 vanquishes at the end of the first objective. At that rate he would have had over 200 vanquishes for the game if it continued. It's always a Super Brainz but not necessarily the same player. That said (and said over and over and over to deaf ears at EA) , I've also had some of the best games I've played in a long time - evenly balanced chaotic nail biters that went the distance. Too bad those are the exception.
@lookinin @PerniciousPea well I just got booted from a private match while working on quests! In fact it just booted me off Origin for no readily apparent reason, so that alters my previous post a bit!
GW2 isn't perfect, no game is, but even with it's issues, I still have almost 3k hours in it. I'd love a GW3 that can beat that record some day.
I still get kicked from matches quite often, whether there is no reason, the host ended the game session apparently, or if the game fully freezes and I have to fully restart the game. This is still really frustrating to this day, and while I am basically used to it happening on nearly a daily basis whenever I play a PvZ game, this issue is still really annoying to deal with. Hopefully in the future this can be fixed in some way.
