So additional content like a beta and dlc are reasons why you feel burned? What did you think about MOH or BF3? Seems like you are overly concerning yourself with the wrong aspect of these products.

Yeah that was a pretty lame way to sucker some extra sales.

Where is the Battlefield of 2012?


GTFO!
Other than the fact they are both FPS games they seem very different.
Did u play medal of honor? It's battlefield if you enjoy terrible battlefield games.

After the disappointment that was BF3, I'm not excited much at all. I still play bad company 2 cuz that games just awesome
 
Bring back commander mode and other aspects that made BF2 unique and then we can talk. If this is just BF3 2 then my interest is really low even if it runs on next gen hardware.

Basically. Get up to parity with BF2 first and then we'll talk, though I've seen/played enough HOO AH BRAVO TEAM GO Mil-porn shooters the past 6 years to last me a lifetime.

In all seriousness I'm roflwaffling at everyone that shelled out the $50 for Premium.

Whats so funny?
Not only do we get priority queuing for servers but we also get a bunch of maps, weapons and vehicles at discounted prices for a game we love playing.
I fail to see the funnies?

P.S Should have jumped on the Indian origin deal when i had the chance.

Oh and let's not forget every other MoH / BF Beta, shall we? Buying any game and you were treated like dirt, everyone else could basically get an invite before you or at the same time.

I kinda wish they would just drop the campaign from Battlefield. It wasn't bad imo in 3, but I'd rather they put all their focus on assets into the mp to make it the best experience possible. Excited to play Warfighter too, glad to see their focus on the campaign has to deal with the behind the scenes segments to with the soldier's families and all.

Not a fan of this two year cycle though. I wouldn't be surprised to see Starbreeze work on Mirrors Edge 2, considering the movement in Syndicate kind of had that feel to it, with the short segments of fp platforming.

Agree with this reasoning. If you're going to buy Warfighter just for the BF4 beta, then you will feel burned whatever DICE does. Unless the beta can somehow give chocolate handjobs over the interwebs.

However, if you're buying it for the game and see the BF4 beta as a bonus, then it will be so worth it.

If you've seen Warfighter's MP footage, you can clearly see it doesn't look like BF3...at all. Aside from both being a military FPS, the color-palette and whatnot seems different.

I'm honestly curious to see how Warfighter's MP plays out since I liked the MP for MoH: Beards. Granted, there were a few nagging things in the game, but Combat Mission + Support Actions didn't feel like CoD.

Can't wait to see Support Actions that are more than merely clicking a walkie-talkie or aiming something using your binoculars of doom.

No I don't feel burned on BF3 or MOH per say

I love BF series, MOH was OK in my book

It's the "Pre-Order" now that is stupid

I fell for it twice

Just saying this 3rd time, no go

BF3 Beta took for fucking ever to come on the PS3, then the guys who bought MOH LE got a 24 hour head start on public beta before everyone else joined in

Then BF3 release, I was expecting Specact Kit to mean those $1.99 x 4 skins/weapon skins from BFBC2, it was one blue fucking skin, that's all =/
I'm usually an informed gamer, know most thing, but that shit was a ploy to get people to bite without giving full info

Oh well at least BF4 will definitely be releasing somewhere in the end of 2013 or early 2014. Since the End Game expansion (final DLC for BF3) will only be released on March 2013.

I don't mind either way, since I will still be having a blast playing BF3 all the way while waiting for BF4.

Not surprised in the slightest. GAFers complain about EA's practices, but it's the gamers that enable them. It worked last time with the BF3 early beta, it worked with "Premium (800000 purchases in week 1, holy shit) and it will work again. Gamers are enabling EA and gamers will fork out 70 dollars for a game they only have a mild interest in for the BF4 beta.

I've never understood this crap. NEVER! Not with EA, or any other publisher. Seems like an utterly stupid idea to me. Pay money for something you would never buy normally just to get limited time on a "beta".

BF4 is probably not the typo, the Frostbite 2 logo not being on console copies has to be. Or I will not buy it.

But is anyone else sick of modern day shooters? In the same sense that 5 or 6 years ago we were sick of WWII shooters? I was pleasantly surprised by CoD when they decided to go to the future (surprised mostly because they were the last people I expected to do something different) and I was hoping DICE would make good on the 2143 easter egg in BF3.

I can't keep buying these games, I'm so sick of using an M16 already.

Its not on the cover of any Frostbite 2 game

Out of curiosity, could we switch battlefield and replace it with any military shooter and get the same effect?
 
I love BF3 and everything (whilst it's not without its flaws) but they sure know how to dig themselves a massive hole. BF3 had terrible issues that took about 2 months for fixes for me (PC) and I hear PS3 isn't even fixed 100% yet. With big games like Planetside 2 and Dust 514 coming out soon which provide really large scale combat with in depth RPG elements I highly doubt the people who bought BF3 because they enjoyed 2 will purchase 4 - most veterans were let down by the lack of features such as commanders and a working comm rose.

Thanks but no thanks.
They will have to do something very special and unique to get me to buy bf4 after how 3 turned out.
Right now I'm not even tempted.
The community being full of whiny arrogant douchebags doesn't help either.

Whiny arrogant douchebags are present in most games...

But I agree, not even tempted at all.

The BF3 community?
Is this on console or something, cuz on PC i havent seen someone whine since the Dart got fixed.

What about BF3 was so bad that its put you off BF4 unless BF4 has something "special".
Call me curious cuz im still going strong in BF3 150+ hours.

P.S The client side hit detection thing will always get whined about, but the amount of whining has gone down to one mention every few weeks if im unlucky.

Things I want in BF4:

- Over 24 players on console, I don't care how you do it just do it

- Squads of 6

- No nerfing dlc guns (seriously I *just* got Premium and the Famas has 25 in the clip, 27 in the ACR, and 50 in the MG36 EVEN THOUGH IT CLEARLY HAS A BETA MAG WHICH HOLDS 100 BULLETZ what is this shit?)

Yeah, the console side is what I'm talking about.
it's all a bit too much to go back into, but there are so many things in bf3 that I feel are worse than bc2.
Overall, for me personally, the fun aspect has decreased significantly.
I still play from time to time, but I'm not enjoying myself nearly as much as I did in let's say bc2 or kz2.
If they simply build upon bf3 and nothing more, I dont see this changing my opinion I'm afraid. And before the bf3 beta, the game was the one I was looking forward to most, thinking I would again put many hundred hours into it! Yet I'm only at 250 hours and don't even want to touch the game again.
I find the close quarters cqd more fun overall now which is something I certainly would never have expected.

Guess something about the DICE's vision for Battlefield just isn't for me anymore. :-/

So this isn't fake or anything? :( I can't see it on Origin on the UK page.

This is just sad man. I know we'd obviously get a new Battlefield game soon but BF4? That is just milking to release a 4th man game so quickly.

Also I want BC3 dammit!! BC2>BF3
So this news disappoints me even more.

This is bound to be for the next gen right? If so I'll buy it. The console version of BF 3 looked terrible and I never had a PC powerful enough to run the PC version.

EA have been pretty clear about the Battlefield and Medal of Honor games alternating every year. What I don't get is why they aren't doing Bad Company 3 instead. All they're going to do is eat into BF3 Premium sales by releasing BF4 next year.

I feel kinda bad for John Riccitiello. When he came back to EA he seemed to have a clear plan for how they'd get back to being a quality publisher (and hey, they still make exceptional games) but some stuff didn't pan out the right way so you get situations that feel very cash grabby.

Hopefully, if Peter Moore is actually taking over as CEO, he can turn the ship around. Peter has always come off as a very business person that understands quality product.

Don't hold your breath, plenty of games coming out in 2013 for current gen with Bungie's new game slated for November 2013 practically 2014

I'd be in the dick
I'm really surprised that they're going to BF4 before doing BC3. I figured they would do BC3 as a launch title for next-gen and then do BF4 later on.
 
This is probably a few years out if anything. Don't know why they jumped the gun on the beta like this.

Not interested, anyway. Hated BF3. Just give me another Bad Company game.

BF3 is great, just not on consoles. The lower player count kills it. The Bad Company maps just worked way better with lower player counts.
 
It certainly doesn't negate the content but I think the issue most people have is that once BF4 launches a huge number of those BF3 players are going to jump ship naturally and assuming that BF4 would be launching sometime late next year you're not getting a lot of gameplay time with the new content in BF3.

Obviously this is all assuming that this isn't a mistake and that BF4 actually launches next year. If it was to fall into 2014 I guess I'd feel a little better knowing that you'll have a lot more time with the new content but I guess I'm still used to shooters like BF2 lasting a lot longer than most do this gen.

Isn't the last BF 3 map pack releasing in early 2013? Then by fall people bodies will be ready. In a world where a Diablo game was abandoned in under a month (even though it had help from the developer), I just don't think our attention spans are what they used to be.

Maybe the whole Diablo backlash is people's means of moving on without admitting they changed in how they consume content. It's the game, man.
