There is more depth to BF4. Battlefront is fun, but has NO depth at all.

Its funny how people have short memories. Bf 2/3/4 cut all the content that bf 1942/2142 had that made them fun and unique and people are ok with it and praise it, then hate on battlefront which was always the way it is previously.

Battlefield 4 currently has a Double XP event running too which explains a lot of the increased activity.

SWB does not allow groups to rent or control game servers. I know that clans have been blackballing it for that reason. Getting on the bad side of clans will cut their sales by a sizeable amount.

Double XP events in Battlefield are usually a hackfest and I try to avoid them. As much as I need the points to rank up it isn't worth the aggrevation and frustration to me.

Subs, heavy bombers, larger maps, driving destroyers, battleships, aircraft carriers etc. 2142 didn't have the larger stuff, but it had a robust commander system and some other cool things for platoon leaders and stuff.

Good. Hardline was a flop on the PC as well. Maybe DICE will change their ways in the future, but I doubt it considering how effective it's been on consoles.

But looking at the two consoles, star wars isn't losing anything. If they have 4x the people on console play SWBF compared to BF4, it won't matter how many people are on BF4 PC.
Accorsing strictly to the stats on post 1: Bf4 total player PEAK on next Gen and PC (disregard all older consoles since they can NOT be compared to SWBF) is 75, 619 currently online: 37,935
With the old consoles included: 109253 total and 50k online.
SWBF on PS4: 84k+. Total 24 peak across next Gen and PC 155,460
Currently online for ps4 only: 39k. (Really, all of Bf4 can't keep up with just ps4 online players..) overall 67k.
Why would they care about pc? Just because we want to be treated better than consoles doesn't give them a reason to actually treat us better and meet our demands. It makes sense to cater to the easy to please crowd and ignore the people that want the best because their gpu costs more than a next Gen console.

$39.99 is the max I would pay for it, although in my opinion it ought to be a $30 game. The visuals are gorgeous, the gameplay is fun, but as mentioned above, it is a shallow game. Based on the three hours I've played on this game, if you are interested in the Season Pass, I would wait for that to also drop down significantly before buying. Make no mistake about it, EA/DICE has succumbed to a new low and produced a game that is not worthy of it's Metacritic score of 70%.

We as PC gamers don't want to be treated better than consoles, we just want the best version for each platform. PC gamers want a server browser, rent able dedicated servers, game that is less scripted, allow us to select our spawn points. Consoles players are getting bored of the game too.

Newness will always wear off on every product over a short period of time.
And yes, we want.. we want.. we want.. we always want, but consoles have only one platform at a time to make sure everything works.. pc's have unlimited amounts of piece to verify match, so they don't want to waste their time trying to make a million parts function properly.
If they required only the "best" parts on one operating system to be used and nothing less, then I bet the game would function perfectly fine.
Unfortunately pc gamers demand the best and then still buy the garbage that is released, so they have no reason to make it better.

Server browser Being able to rent a dedicated server Those two things you don't need best of to add to a game. They both allow PC gamers to do what they have been doing for over a decade, find a server they like or create one and make it a home server. If the game lacks depth or is boring, all the eye candy isn't going to matter at all.

Maybe they will add the option in the future. Until then, don't play so it makes a statement. Until everyone let's it flop like hardline, it will continue on like it is a great game for them.
Again, they don't care about pc for a reason.

I agree with Sim on this. They should have made an all around better game; most importantly the gameplay, this goes for all platforms. The game that we could of had and was almost done (Battlefront 3) was so much better of a game with a lot more depth. Instead EA decides to start from scratch and we ended up with this game. I'm not even talking about the server browser, being able to rent a server or anything else PC specific; I'm talking about the core game itself. I went into the Beta (demo) really wanting to like this game. I played it the entire weekend trying to like it; I just could not. After 5 minutes I was bored of the game and it's super shallow gameplay. I kept playing because the game's look and sound was spot on and I wanted to like it, but that was just impossible. I am really glad they let us play in the demo weekend so I didn't have to buy this game.

What I find somewhat funny, is that DICE took on SWBF without really finishing BF4, which resulted in BF4 being a bug infested game even to this day. Not surprisingly, in turn SWBF ended up being a half-baked and shallow excuse for a game. EA/DICE's track record of producing unfinished games is becoming impressive. I wonder if they even have put any thought into the future of the SWBF franchise and the damage that they are now doing.

Know what happened to Patrick Bach after Battlefield 4's disastrous launch? Absolutely nothing. He went on to produce Hardline which flopped and Battlefront. Regardless of EA's awful attempts that feigning they care, their actions say otherwise and until that fool is removed for competent people that care about the quality of the game they released expect it to continue. I'm surprised nobody over at DICE has been replaced, but it certainly explains why nothing ever get fixed with their games.

Player count is largely irrelevant. It's community toxicity levels that count the most. If we went purely by player count DOTA 2 must be the most awesome thing ever (not that I've ever touched the game).

9 Million PC gamers downloaded and played the Battlefront BETA. Now only about 8K play the game. Think how much money EA would have made if they had gotten this right? It doesn't matter how many console players purchased it, when Every household owns a PC but, only a fraction of those people have ever owned a console. They lost Millions! EA has to feel pressure from their constituents on this, because they "EA" dropped the ball big time here.
