Warzone and fortnite have new maps soon whatever zoomer audience they wanted won’t come. This just pisses off your core and results in the game dying before March.

So this is what they're doing instead of actually unfucking the game? Basically just pouring gasoline on the fire?
Dice is starting to reach Bioware levels of "developer that EA SHOULD shut down but inexplicably refuses to".

Not even Battlefield V stooped to having such ridiculous cosmetics so close to launch (after all the backlash, anyway).

Jesus Christ. So now it looks like they're bringing in Vince Zampella and Marcus Lehto to clean up Dice's mess.
Hope you're ready for the BATTLEFIELD CINEMATIC UNIVERSE.

The people in charge are truly out of touch. Everything has to be Battle Royale/Marvel is the CODization of this decade.

They had a sizeable update today but it's pretty much nothing important, filled with what I presume is typos (I.E the M44 revolver now holding 5 shots instead of 6 when it's modeled off a 6 shot revolver) and no real performance updates. Also portal progression is still locked and hazard zone, a mode no one plays got a bunch of things added.

Oh, you want hit registration? That's extra. But have a non-binary operator when our lore dictates a climate epidemic.

Zampella head of the Battlefield franchise. The irony.
Maybe he can save Battlefield.
No fun allowed.

They're probably pissed that people made boosting servers to level up faster.

One of the creators of Call of Duty assigned to course correct Battlefield. How does that even remotely make sense? It's also nice to know that DICE's incompetence managed to fuck Respawn over too, I guess Titanfall will continue to get shafted by EA if the series ever gets a new game.

So far I haven't been bothered by much aside from the Specialists concept being a real hindrance instead of a boon, but stuff like those skins could potentially ruin the experience for me. I came to shoot soldiers and operatives, not faggot cowboys and guys in Santa Claus outfits. If it becomes a bunch of people dressed in random shit (every BR game), I'm out.
Something that struck me about the Specialists though - They'd all be fine if this was a Bad Company 3 campaign. They would all fit alongside the series' squad members, or as characters they encounter and work with across the story's course. In that manner it could have been brilliant; pretty much all of them besides Sundance have enough likability to have been a part of it. In a main-line Battlefield however, they are jarring. The comedy needs to give way to more serious tones, otherwise you don't have the war simulator you were opting for.
It's funny just how much Activision and EA have been hurting themselves with poor design choices and trying to sneak in woke shit, when really the standards have dropped so badly that the only thing they need to beat their competition is to simply repeat what made them popular in the first place. I mean, Halo did it, Doom did it, and they're enjoying the best reception they've had in years.

How would a "connected Battlefield universe" WORK? Name me one memorable Battlefield character. Now they're STILL trying to copy trends.

To be fair, only Captain Price, Soap and Makarov stand out as memorable CoD characters to me. The rest are all overhyped shite.
Doesn't mean Battlefield could make an interconnected universe though. Bad Company was the best storytelling they had, and it couldn't really compete with MW2's storytelling highs. Didn't help that the MC was the plainest one of the bunch either.

Why does Battlefield need a lore or universe? Just make a conflict that the game takes place in and the players will do the rest, it's that easy.

To be fair I wish we weren't going to have neon colored bunny men storming Iwo Jima in Warzone come January either.
COD WW2 had some of the best looking uniforms and maps of any COD game and it got utterly ruined by this neon colored nonsense.
I get it, the pro streamer consuumer needs them but it's crap.

that's not how it works tho, if daddy EA wants you gone you get taken behind the shed, whether you want to or not.
bioware and dice sweden still existing even after all their fuckups is a clear indication that EA still sees some value in the brandnames (lol), considering they have no problem squashing/renaming other established studios if they can't bring in the dosh.
although that might slowly be changing with dice la not being dice la anymore, maybe to get away from rotten pile of crap.
respawn doesn't need EA to fuck themselves, how do you think they became an EA studio in the first place?
and I said it before, after tf2 I don't even want a new titanfall. given the trajectory apex is tf3 in all but name with all shit they tried to add/change in their cluelessness, it ending up as a cringe fortnite style BR clone is only logical.
which reminds me they already had a call of duty guy working for them (probably not the only one, cause where else would you recruit "fps devs" from these days as a stupid EA exec?). otoh zampella is head of
