Ok DICE, this behavior of yours is suspicious and pretty much not normal so if you are held hostage or under some threatening environment pls post in this thread of at least blink 3 times fast or just say - "soon with a stuttering ---

Serious question, who made this game. I just dont understand what made them go in this direction. Its truly a mess. ---

I say we get the Scientists of CERN into the matter. Because the DICE Devs are so out of touch from reality that they seem to be switching between dimensions or alternative realities of the Multiverse… ---

**Read in an old man voice** Back in my day we played a game because it was fun. In truth I don’t see how/why they missed the mark (though I do think the game is decently fun so far) with this game. You have so many successfully fun titles that people still like playing. Why not just build off of those elements? ---

DICE is EA and EA is DICE. They are EA’s biggest devs and many ex-devs hold high positions at EA. ---

I understand people not wanting the same game as the previous one but does DICE have to reinvent the wheel with every game? I would have been happy with a reskinned/retuned BF1. ---

I would have been happy with a reskinned/retuned BF1. I actually want them to innovate in every iteration, but I also want them to take at least three or so years to make each new title. ---

I am not against BF V as a game but I am against everything around the game, it looks like a truly incompetent person is appointed as a Head of Marketing & PR or Communications or whatever they call that position in EA/Dice ecosystem. From reveal trailer up till this patch/update push back it is fail after fail after fail… and that recent lol community opinion wall at party. Who are you people? I don`t recognize any of this, what the F is going on? ---

Look what happened to Westwood and their once every few years masterpieces You don’t have to tell me twice … I know what they did to Blackbox Studios and the old Criterion Games after they canned Burnout … EA sucks the life out of a developer before throwing it’s shriveled corpse after having nothing left to suckle on. EA destroyed two of my childhood gaming franchises, and they seem to be determined to go for a hat trick. ---
