Forums - Gaming - Well Battlefield is a dead PC franchise

IllegalPaladin on 24 April 2009

Yea I'm kind of disappointed, but I'd like to at least see how 1943 turns out. I do want the next big installment in the series though.

Perhaps if they can get their frostbite engine to support even more players on even larger maps with more stuff going on we can get a Battlefield 3. I'd say they're at least making progress with it being on PC. I think they should drop the whole singleplayer campaign of Bad Company to focus on the multiplayer experience.

When I think of the Battlefield series, I think about playing it online. I want more of that, not some stupid singleplayer campaign.

How should I describe this thread? *Ponders*......immature and lame.

EA has decided to push back the release on the PC version of Battlefield 1943 to focus on the console version. The PC version will be nothing but a cheap port of the console version.

So from this day forward I say good bye Battlefield. You were a great franchise. I will also say f*ck you EA for screwing your most loyal customers who have been waiting for the next true installment of the Battlefield franchise. I had plans of buying the Spore expansion too but screw it. From this day forward I will not buy a SINGLE game published by EA.

Now I understand why Will Wright left you. Your greedy money hungry pigs that would rather release complete vile garbage then something your original fanbase desire.

 

To quote the Battlefield 1943 producer, Gordon Van Dyke -

"I know you might feel disappointed about the PC release being in September rather than June, but you should be very happy to know this is to give us the proper development time to create a proper PC version of Battlefield 1943 and not a console port. To the contrary of some less informed fans out there this is in no means an intentional ploy to punish our PC fans. And is in fact quite the opposite, we want to make the best damn PC version we can for our PC fans!

Not to bore your eyes out with endless text about the how's and do's I will say to make this a proper PC version we need a completed core game to develop over and remember we already released Battlefield Bad Company with the Frostbite Engine on the consoles, so this will be first PC game ever released using Frostbite! PCs are an open platform requiring additional features, support, technical consideration, and can't just be thrown out there using copy/paste. We have thought very carefully about this decision and in the long run felt it was the right choice even though we knew we'd catch some flak for it, but we feel once you play the first Frostbite PC game ever from DICE you'll see why we put this extra time and care in on the development making all right again in the universe. I hope this helps clear things up better and answers your concern(s)."
