DICE, this is your chance!
It was prophesied that the CoD killer would utterly demolish CoD in the year of the Ghost. We were sadly mistaken, the launch of Battlefield 4 was a train wreck and it would seem to most that Battlefield would have to make an innovation or step aside for the CoD fanboys.
But it would seem that with the launch of Advanced Warfare that many people were crying out for “We want boots on the ground!”. With that, Treyarch announced Black Ops 3, which sold pretty well compared to previous installments, but still lack luster to Modern Warfare 3.
But then, Call of Duty revealed Infinite Warfare mere days before the big reveal of the much anticipated new Battlefield game. The new CoD had space battles! And less lasers and more bullets! Which on a technicality was less futuristic than the lasers in Black Ops 3.
Then, on Friday, May 6th 2016 at 8pm BST (I think, I don’t use this time zone) the Battlefield community --no the world held its breath as time seemed to slow down as the announcers would speak and seemly never shut up, the screen went black.
We were going back to World War 1, ditching the Futuristic BS that was plaguing an already stagnate industry of games.
To the community, to the fans, and especially the developers at DICE and publishing at EA,
DO NOT SCREW THIS UP.
We the community have waited patiently for the Call of Duty behemoth to buckle under the expectations of change and innovation in this industry. They have plagued this industry with problems that have stagnated other developers and ruined the lives of many gamers, myself included. This is the Battlefield game I’ve waited so patiently for. Now is the time to strike Activision.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
If you want this game to be successful and demolish Call of Duty, you need to do several things
- Launch this game smoothly and cleanly. We do not want a s*** show like Battlefield 4.**
2. Listen to the community. We don’t like something in the beta, it better be changed by the launch.
3. No holds-bared. This industry is founded on go big or go home.
4. Leave no gamer behind. Impress us with the multiplayer, awe us with the single-player.
5. Don’t paywall jack from us. We can smell bulls* from a mile away, don’t let EA boss you around. - No Exclusivity. Don’t do this. Just don’t.
- Do CTE. This was a huge success in the later portion of the life of Battlefield 4.
- Do you DICE. We saw the efforts put into Battlefield 4, and saw what EA was forcing you to do with the complete s*** launch of it and how EA forced you to contend with CoD that year. You put together great games that people love. Battlefield 3 shocked the world with its technological achievements that even Call of Duty still can’t do with its 1998 Quake engine. You have innovated beyond what Call of Duty has and you haven’t been rewarded yet. But this is the time to seize the fruits of your labor.
