Battlefield- Mercy Kill?

[Wyzilla]

So I ask everyone this, should Battlefield be put down? At least for me, Battlefield 3 has been a bit of a disappointment. It started off good, but the game has become crap due to a bad community, poorly executed patches, poorly executed gameplay, and the awful milking done by EA via premium. The main problem I had with the start was the rather bad community, I don't know what happened, but every other Battlefield game I've played on the XBOX had decent teammates. Maybe it was an influx of COD kids, I don't know, but what I do know is I only could ever play with a friend, otherwise some idiot would spawn on me while I was running a covert operation. They'd ignore the fact I was being sneaky, stand up, open fire with their LMG, and get everyone killed. Sooooooo often. But that's not the game's fault. That's just bad luck. Which sucks, but it does subtract from the game.

Then there was the lack of patching. If I remember correctly, the game went two months without a patch. Meanwhile, previous games like BFBC2 were usually patched within a week, if not days. However, in BF3 we had to deal with that awful shotgun attachment glitch that would decimate an entire squad in a single shot (the glitch was that each pellet did the same damage as a normal AR bullet, 22 points. There was about ten pellets, if not more. One shot and five people are dead.) and murder everything. Then thanks to Premium, we also had those SOBs with extra cash running around with unpatched weapons for two weeks. When CQ came out, I stopped playing for a week, because I got tired of getting killed with unpatched guns. And M60 shouldn't be getting overpowered by an MP5K at mid range. The most obvious reason behind this Premium service though, is EA. The monster EA. The same jerks who've murdered a dozen good developers and countless good series. Now it appears that they are attempting to copy COD's yearly money spree, by releasing new MOH games and Battlefield games every other year.

No.

Sorry, just no. Milking a series is a terrible thing to do, especially one that needs careful balancing because of the massive amount of variables. I used to be wishing that they would be making Bad Co 3 instead of Battlefield 4 at the moment, but I've now realized that Battlefield needs to die. Not because I hate it, but because I love the series. Either it needs to be mercy-killed at the moment, to ensure the good memories aren't spoiled by a series of crap games that progressively get worse, like COD- or EA dies. Somebody else picks up DICE and the Battlefield series. The problem is just EA. They've become worse each year, and this pattern will likely continue until the company files for bankruptcy.

Bonobos, because I don't care and find it enjoyable.

Put down the pure ass-mucus that is Battlefield 3 and pick up BadCo 2.

I personally find that BC2 is far superior to BF3 in almost every aspect. The "premium pass" is not really a premium thing as it only buys the maps.(in bc2)

I never did like any of the Bf games nor did i care about them but still they need to shut down.
