We will see how the game launches. I will give it a month and see what people say. BF4 keeps me plenty entertained and I don’t imagine the population going to zero anytime soon. Even after BF1 launches. There will still be a few good servers online.
I like modern combat shooters, it just happened that BF was a modern shooter. At least the previous games. But I do hope it surprises me and ends up being good. Then I will buy it.
