Dev pulls cake from oven, sees it's undercooked, feeds it to customers anyway.

Does anyone still plays BF4?
I've tried to get into a game a few weeks ago and couldn't find any servers at all.
I wish EA would add some bots to these games so after all the masses move on to the latest and greatest people that doesn't need to have the latest game in the series can still have a bit of fun in a simulated MP environment.

Yeah. How about dialing down that $65CAD Premium Pass first?

If you could do that, that'd be great.

You mean the industry standard for post-launch DLC for a AAA game?

Yeah, they tried that with SWBF2, giving away all post-launch DLC content for free to all players who bought the base game, and loot boxes to demonstrate post launch revenue, for people who were too impatient to grind normally... And we all know how well that worked.

So the community-dividing wallet-draining season pass model is here to stay! Great job guys! WE DID IT!

CoD just updated this week with ways to buy coins to purchase loot boxes. Sad. I don't see it as gambling, I see it as "buyer beware".

/remembers when we could make our own player skins....

GET OFF MY LAWN!

Well, that's better than the 40 hours per character it was at.

It is but I think the damage has been done. It will be interesting to see if this game can recover from the messy start

This is a good one.

About 40h per hero, about 9 heroes are unlockable. 360 hours or ... just a few bucks, eh? This IS grind made to encourage buying those chars instead of playing the game to unlock them.

And this answer is the epitome of lying your customer in the face.

It feels like this game has lost a ton of its playerbase... I went back to go play a few nights ago, after about 2 months away, no full servers, only half full Hardcore Conquest servers, mostly empty servers in the playlist. I guess there is too much else to play right now?

It might be time to free up 60+ gigs of SSD space.

I wonder how popular this game will be on the PC.
I don't mind buying a CoD game every couple of years, but judging from the previous few releases, they're a ghost town online. Can't even find any MP games in Team Deathmatch.
I'd hate to invest money into a game like that and than not being able to find any games online after the first few months.

I find it difficult to believe 7 million installed and played Fortnite, free weekend or not. I've seen popular Steam games with a lot more market penetration (who uses Epic's client again?) and advertising fail to put up those numbers over a longer period of time. Smells like a headline for the sake of PR.

I was actually really excited about this CoD, as I'm not a fan of the jetpack/wall running of the last couple installments.

Preloaded earlier this week, and couldn't wait to play tonight. (Since the last open beta started early, I assumed this one would too)

Loaded it up, played it...and an hour later uninstalled.

The game feels really zoomed in for some reason, even at 90 FoV. Maps are claustrophically small, weapons take up way too much of the screen, very few players in each game, etc.

Just really "meh", through and through. Back to PUBG I imagine, sigh.
