I usually don’t use lightly the word “scam” but in my opinion it was a scam at release. It was barely playable during the free WE I tried it. Even simple things like binding Keyboard keys wasn’t working properly. Flying an helicopter felt impossible despite hundreds of hours doing so in previous games. Full of bugs and far from any emblematic BF games. A terrible experience to the point I thought I had opened the wrong game on metacritic and just couldn’t believe we played the same game as these reviewers.
Now my hope is that DICE drops the license and some other studios tries to do something more authentic and polished. The recent Delta Force release despite its shortcomings makes me hopeful that other studios than EA/DICE has interest in this type of games.
