I havent had any connection issues, im just not a big fan of Battlefield's format.  It pretty much feels like Battlefield 3 in every possible way.  It'll for sure be my last Battlefield game though.

My main issues is connected with one another.

-Takes too many bullets to kill someone.  Put it on hardcore and then everybody hides in the mountains with snipers.
-Snipers are nerfed to hell.  Put it on hardcore and theyre overpowered.

-I also hate the map designs.  At times it makes you feel as if youre in a war.  Those are the times i love it but it is rare instances this ever happens.  Most of the time everybody is scattered out and snipers hide in the back and do nothing to help the team because the maps are huge.

-Then if you put it on a small map it is way too crammed where everybody throws grenades and shoots rockets down a hallways.  How fun.

-So you want to play TDM?  Sure we will put you on the same big map, but we will make it smaller to where it is a poorly designed box with a building.  Congrats.

These are my main issues with BF.  I can play Halo, CoD, KZ, and gears with less players and get the same amount of action,  better designed maps, non-nerfed weapons, and more strategic gunplay.  BF just feels like it is unfixable because of what it is trying to do.  A lot of the reason can be blamed on snipers but how do you fix that?

EDIT: And individual Servers on consoles makes no sense.  

Does anyone know if Ghosts uses actual Azure cloudy goodness servers or if Activision runs their own stuff? Or if maybe, they don't even use servers at all for gameplay and just do it like Killzone and all the other shooters always have where the stats and matchmaking is done on servers and the gameplay itself is still p2p? I ask because I read they were moving all versions to dedi's yet I play on the PS3 and it's garbage and clearly still p2p. I want to pick up Ghosts on the Xbone sometime if they do any good Extinction DLC but won't waste my time if its the same.

Ghost is using a dedicated server.  Not sure if it is azure or not.

BF is using their own servers.

I still doubt Black Tusk are making 4 games, I think that quote has been grossly taken out of context.

"I am currently a strategic Senior Product Manager/Product Planner within the Microsoft 1st Party Publishing group. I have been the primary product manager on four unannounced new IP, including Quantum Break for the new XBOX ONE. Additionally, I have been a key contributor to bringing these IP from the very early concept phase through green light to production."

So yeah, Black Tusk are working on one big AAA game.

black tusk are for sure working on more than one IP
