Quote from deceiverEA's strategy is smarter than Activision's imo. They're leap-frogging between two modern war franchises rather than the same one like Activision. One year MOH, one year BF3, one year MOH 2 (where we are now!), next year BF4. So they're using both games to take on CoD, not just one or the other really.
not at all far fetched. i may even go so far as to say that the way COD has been released every year with a new MP has shown EA that they could do the same with battlefield.
Quote from ChimerayI don't really understand the appeal of yearly iterations either, like CoD, fifa, etc... But hey, seems like enough people like it
Well, at least BF won't join em.
I'm not really sure how CoD still sells like hotcakes year after year, but in defence of selling a FIFA game every year I will say that it is a bit more important with sports games as the player roster changes every year, and even the laws rules of the sport may change every year.
I'm pretty shocked they've already announced this, I've hardly had BF3 long. I hope this doesn't mean I need to buy a new PC again lol.
Looks like we're getting a reveal of some sort on the 27th

Meh. Surprisingly I'm really not interested considering how much I fucking loved all the battlefields up to bf3. If battlefield is going to become more and more single player focused they need to actually stop this made up modern war bullshit that CoD4 started, otherwise it detracts from what should be a great multiplayer game.
I really enjoyed the multiplayer half of BF3. There's lots of variety in the maps and now there are a few game modes for each there's plenty to do. Lots of weapons and gadgets to unlock and the vehicles are great.
The single player, whilst nice to look at, was horribly boring to play.

Exactly. The game would have actually been a better game without the singleplayer, it detracts from the quality of the overall product.
Battlefield is a multiplayer game first and foremost, but for what it's worth then I enjoyed the SP in BF3 a lot more than any of the last 3-4 COD games, which is what they're competing with.
I'm just happy if it doesn't place in a primarily middle eastern setting. Going back to China ala BF2 would be sweet~
BF3 is the best BF to date. The SP doesn't magically detract from the MP.
Most of us can agree that, if all the effort that went into the SP was funneled into the MP it would be an even better game. But you seriously can't say that the MP experience is hamstrung!
That is true. The only reason I played the SP part was because my internet was down and I felt like seeing some pretty visuals.
The only thing I didn't really like in the MP was the client-side hit detection. If I ran behind cover some guy could still hit me on his game. I guess it's not so bad since if you hit someone on your screen you actually hit them. It's just a little frustrating for the guy getting hit.

Where did I? I said, it detracts from the game... Heres some math for you:MP gets a review score of 90
SP gets a review score of 70
MP only game gets a review score of 90
SP & MP game gets a review score of 80
Magic...
Yeah, that is magic because generally that's not how reviews work. In fact, some reviewers might actually be very opposed to the idea that a AAA game has ZERO possibilites of SP. All in all, it's hard to point at the SP as a net loss. The average review score of 89 sould prove this.
Sigh... I'm not actually talking about real review scores. I'm talking about the general feeling or perception I have of a game. A game that feels polished is superior to one that doesn't feel polished because certain parts of it aren't very good.
Okay, I'm sorry. When you said review scores I didn't know we were rating your emotions from a scale of one to hundred lmao.
i loved battlefield 2... lets see how this will turn out
Hmm I wonder how they'll differentiate it from BF 3? If it's just generic modern day combat, I'll still play, but I'd be a bit disappointed.
