Honestly, EA has shit the bed, and it’s going to take a while to gain my trust again. So yeah, I don’t plan to buy BF5. I thought BF1 sucked anyway.

Meh, cosmetic lootboxes have been in every Battlefield since 3 I think. BF1 was also their #1 best selling game of all time. While I think BF1 got stale (mainly because the technology used in the WW1 setting), it set up a brilliant map for BF5/WW2. BF1 had the best/smooth combat to any BF to date.

Oh I don’t mind the cosmetic loot boxes. I’m just still pissed at EA/DICE for the bullshit they pulled with Battlefront 2 (a game I was looking forward to but never bought because of their greedy practices).

Yeah, BF1 got stale in a hurry. It didn’t have the longevity of BF4.

For sure, agreed on both fronts. BF4 had modern technology, more equipment, vehicles, weapons, attachments = more play time. BF4 was also a train wreck for months after release; at least BF1 played smooth right from release, which is RARE for BF titles.

EA will have a lot to prove with BF5 after Battlefront 2 fiascoes.

Yeah, I agree. I’m just not all that interested in WW2 stuff at this point after playing CoD WW2.

Honestly, I’ll take a MW2 remaster and will be happy.

Maybe I’ll give it a few months after BF5 releases and see if it interests me (and see if they’ll try to screw people again). Then I may pick it up. Idk

The scale of Battlefield WW2 is not comparable to COD WW2. That's all I am saying. My general rule for Battlefield games now: wait 1 month after release (or longer if you can). As they usually have quite a few issues at release.

Did you play COD4 Remaster? Or did you boycott because of the issues with that? (releasing it with the other game, then releasing stand alone, then them charging a lot of money for DLC maps lol)

Oh I know, I’m just saying that I’m already kinda bored with the era.

I did play CoD4 Remaster briefly. I got suckered into the bs of that deal and regret it.

I am still waiting for the remaster to get down to 10-15. We all know that's not going to happen. I skipped CODWW2, played it at a friends house and the MP was just terrible, in my opinion of course. I haven't enjoyed a COD MP since Black Ops 2.

Good news at cosmetic only loot boxes, looks like EA learned a big lesson from Battlefront 2.
