Why no Battlelog link to the new forums?

Umm.. Yeah I like the new forums but why not add the new forums to battlelog?

I am sure there was a good reason for this change. It is a difficult thing to do.

Yeah…they want to kill the forums.

Changing the link in a hypertext is easy.

I know they want to seperate their new flagship game from previous titles… and I knooow they don’t want to confuse new gamers with the difficult task of figuring out that BF1 is newer than BF4, but come on Dice, stop being silly now and change the link.

fair enough rebrand everything and get it ready for bf1 but to kill off battlelog and all the links to our previous soldiers and effort is just ridiculous.

Anybody who has done even the slightest type of web programming know its a 1 minute task to update the old forum pages and BattleLog with a hyperlink leading to here. Further outrageous is that they now even removed the text describing the URL where to find it, for anybody lost on the old forum pages.
Any Google or Bing search will still bring up the old URL on top, so many will be lost, even to find the forum for BF1.

Actually I think there is a more sinister background for this deliberate ‘berlin-wall style’ and (to us) non-customer friendly separation: Legal implications and monetization…
