If EA implements RSP, I’ll buy the game then. If EA does not, oh well, no BF5 for me.
Very sad state of affairs. If you’re like me, this game got boring within a matter of days playing with completely random people over and over again. I like playing in private servers where you get to know people, build friendships, etc. Without RSP I feel like I might as well just be playing with bots, one squad with three friends just isn’t enough. Super boring.
yup. at this point it’s crystal clear that BF5 is designed to be a shallow and forgettable experience that’s even more lacking in basic quality of life features than the previous atrocity they “released”.
what’s even more pathetic than those 2 “games” is how this forum is full of TotallyNotTheirShillAccounts that keep trying to claim that it’s a good thing that BF5 will only have servers that are GUARANTEED to NEVER be administered.
they keep rehashing the same made-up nonsensical talking points about “baaaadmins and rules” being real issues
it’s really pathetic what BF has become.
You know that can be turned around too. The other side always talking about the need of RSPs to “stop hackers and mean people”…

Even the critics are saying the same thing as players. The game has a good foundation for something more but…
no, it can’t. EA’s server’s only supposed upside is that NO ONE can be singled out and kicked/banned. that in itself is obviously not a good thing for any FPS.
only a fool would claim that it’s worth giving up the ability to personalize the game experience in a ton of essential ways.
P.S. “mean people” is also a fake concern that only EA pretends to have. as evident by the disgusting chat censorship in BFV.
“Mean People” is what many in here were stating why they need RSP.
So basically what you are saying is you don’t like the way Dice designed the game and want to play it in a way you want to, and that is why you want RSP? I mean essentially you are saying you want to be able to redevelop the game instead of playing it on how it was intended.
I’m going to reserve judgement, whilst the BF1 server rental wasn’t what I wanted it to be, it was still cheaper than GD or Fragnet and most of the time there was no issues, but when there was issues I t took a while to resolve. So im hoping they have learnt from the feed back of BF1 and they will improve it greatly for BF V. Whilst on the subject of BF V, it’s the best game since Bad Company 2.
please stop trying to spin my words.
I am saying that Dice deliberately fails to provide basic quality of life features that are considered a staple and a necessity for an online FPS.
So what if that’s not “how it was intended”? EA’s intentions are malicious and their incompetence is disgusting.
What you’re trying to say is that the game is perfect and can’t possibly be improved because “that’s not how EA wanted it to be”.
Talking to you is pointless, shill.
Need this
Lol quality of life? That’s a new one.
Has there been any word on private servers?
Please read previous pages for your answer
Custom server are needed bad, unless Dice can actually keep cheaters out and balance a server, dont see that happening anytime soon.
RSP means Rental Server Provider
Bump, Bump, BUMP! Everything that has been stated on this thread is right on point! I have already witness many accounts with cheaters being present in servers aimboting getting instance headshots or walling and there is nothing anyone can do except sit back and take it while EA seems do nothing. If there are no dedicated servers coming then you are going lose a long time BATTLEFIELD player / supporter in the franchise. I am sure there are many others BATTLEFIELD VETS that feel this way so please listen to your long supported community of gamers.
@Triumphantape They Will NEVER allow that, firstly EA who has No respect for the community other than listening to fanboys complain about weapon balancing, if they can’t scalp money from you they won’t do it, Secondly they feel that they have to maintain all content in their games, read thier EULA, they are probably breaking the law with some of the agreements in some states/provinces’ that provide rights to the Buyer/purchaser/end-user, which EA really doesn’t care about(Unless they are gonna lose money doing it) then Royally f**k it up anyways, just because of their lack of Care for their target audience, whom they have no idea who they are, anymore, so out of touch. Hopefully they will Eventually Include Dedicated servers, that we can rent, and allow an Hardcore mode, which shoulda been planned from the beginning…But EA still persists, with this ridiculousness of releasing games with no ded server support, always Ignoring thier hardcore, and Bread and Butter Fanatics, Until they realise they woulda made more money if they thought of us in the first place, I.E Star Wars Battlefront 2. Also saying things like this: ‘"Blake Jorgensen described the canned Star Wars title as a ‘much more linear game, that people don’t like as much today as they did five years ago or 10 years ago.’ " When, that very month one of the Highest grossing games’ of all-time was released by SONY corp in the form of GOD of WAR for the ps4. Which shows exactly how out of touch EA is with Any Audience, much-less their target audience. Ridiculouso…
I agree with Alleycat! This crap should have been done from day one, seriously sick of BF series.. i refuse to buy this game cause the BASE that made BF is being thrown to the way side.. they need to FIRE the one doing server rentals and get someone in here that knows what they are doing..They dont seem to care abt us anymore
If EA is focused so much on “life-cycling” this game, has EA considered the sales of older installments?
I’ve looked at sales of BFBC 2, BF3, and BF4; these games continued to sell for years, most likely due to communities that run servers, long after the next title was released.
And as for preventing players from playing older titles, well, EA should consider that most players do get tired of the older ones. I haven’t played BF3 since BF4 came out.
EA should rethink it’s strategy on RSP and continue to offer it.
BUMP, give us the private servers DICE!
