[@SkyNinja759]

Pre-beta hype was real, because of all the trailers misleading people to believe it to be a faithful BF4 sequel. Then afterwards it was a bait n' switch to hero shooter commericals and cheesy action movie quotes/scenes. Battlefield isn't mil-sim, but it had it's niche as a sudo-realistic atmosphereic shooter that was less arcade-y/arena-based than CoD. Now it's just an Frankenstein's monster of chasing trends.

[@mistermarcus4281]

If EA would have just made a BF4 clone with all new maps plus redone versions of old maps and just added new tanks/vehicles/weapons then the game would have been JUST RIGHT.

[@j5mello1]

BF:Vietnam (the full game from 2004; not the DLC) & BF2142 are still part of my greatest gaming experiences. Bad Company 1 & 2 were also pretty fun. After that the cracks started showing. DICE used to make great Battlefield games. EA was only the publisher, but their increasing influence on the final product is why the series is at where its at now. AAA games went from being creative endeavours from passionate people to assembly line products that need to be updated every year to make budget numbers. I'm not saying all AAA games are garbage, but the formulaic nature encouraged by major publishers has been a disservice to customers. Whether they are chasing gaming trends (PubG/battle royal) or payment systems (microtransactions/ingame stores from mobile/F2P gaming); making sure their game has the right checkbox items that are popular at the moment seems to be their highest concern.

[@TheMsdos25]

Ea acquired DICE around the time BF2142 came out btw. They started buying shares a few years earlier.

[@j5mello1]

@@TheMsdos25 That's true, but it also means that 2142 spent the majority of it's dev time with EA as only a shareholder. EA didn't fully acquire DICE until Oct 2, 2006 at which point 2142 would have released 2 weeks later on the 17th. Physical copies would have been pressed & packaged and advertising would be in full swing at the time. Which would leave EA little ability to affect 2142's launch state. Did EA have zero effect on DICE's development of 2142? Doubtful, but it's a far cry from their influence after the acquisition of DICE; now one of EA's "inhouse" development studios.
