BF4 is junk. I cannot believe how bad DICE has become. What gives? I play games ONLY on PC and DICE games suck compared to... Say, Valve games. Counter Strike is such a better game on the PC. DICE has slowly dropped into the crap category for PC games.

    Definitely rolling snake eyes with DICE for a while now. Hopefully someone can turn the company around soon.

    They used to be the cream of the crop with BF 1942, 2142... I believe BF2 was when they started heading downhill. It really saddens me. It seems like once the XBOX 360 hit the market all the games went down the crapper. I don't want to sound so negative, I do like what Steam has been pushing. Valve seems to be very pro PC.

    No, I have hundreds of hours on all BF games. The last one just seems to be the worst yet for a good quality PC game. I think stats say a lot. BF 4 is lucky to hit 20k players, CS GO shoots over 100k.

    What gives?  It's because DICE can get away with it, everyone willingly swallows what DICE puts in their mouths.  There's a severe lack of real PC gamers these days, just brainwashed console gamers.  Didn't you complain about BF3 as well, yet you went ahead and bought BF4 and Titanfall.

    EA forcing them to rush out unfinished and untested products. I hope they learned a lesson because bf3 had much higher sales than bf4 and hardline will have much less sold copies than bf4....

    Yeah, I will not be buying Hardline from the start. EA and DICE are going to have to win me back. I have been a loyal fan of BF, but BF4 was my breaking point with the downward spiral the series has been going. Honestly, I think that I have pretty much grown very dissatisfied with anything that has come out of EA in a very long time. It's a shame, as DICE used to be one of my favorite developers.

    DICE used to be an outstanding developer. But somehow they started folding under pressure - idk. 
    BF4 feels like a beta. I'm missing the good old BF1942 times...

    Companies like Bioware and DICE have EA as a parent company. EA doesn't answer to customers, they answer to stock holders.

    @chrisdglong, No offend but I think you will buy Hardline and you will complain about it again!  DICE people are NOT the Devs for this game.  However EA is the publisher.  I, like you will buy it but not until it's less than $20.  My advice to you is try the 48 hours free (https://www.origin.com/en-us/great-game-guarantee) and ask EA for refund if you don't like it.  You could have done it with Titanfall and BF4!
