Battlefront 2 & 3

Dear EA,

I posted here about a year ago, hoping to see some improvements to Battlefront 2. Now that Battlefront 3 has been announced, I think it's even more important that you address the cheating problem and fix a few lingering bugs. I believe this gesture of goodwill would go a long way toward restoring some of the trust your company has lost.

Cheaters will always exist in some form, but in Battlefront 2 in particular, they have far too much control over game servers, ruining the experience for everyone else. I sincerely hope this issue gets addressed.

If you show that you still care about your older game releases, such as Battlefront 2, I can guarantee that your efforts won't go unnoticed.

Thanks.

    True, but just imagine how much money they spend on marketing, which is full of experimental gimmicks and tactics designed to influence consumer behaviour and get people to buy their latest games.

    For a corporation like EA, an act of goodwill would fall under the category of marketing.

    I think customers these days quite often vote with their wallets. Even younger people have become more conscious of the companies they support. If a Youtuber or streamer says EA is bad, people remember that.

    The BF2 community seems to be quite persistent, despite the terrible state of the game. And, of course, it's Star Wars, one of the most well known franchises ever. I genuinely think that building a good reputation starts with pleasing long time supporters, even if that group is smaller than the number of people who buy the game every month.

  • Yeah, the cheating bit is a real pain.

    When it comes to "lingering bugs"...
    While I don't work for EA, I can confidently say that investing time and money in a 9 year old game (other than addressing critical issues) is unlikely. It's not about caring. It's about using limited resources wisely.
