With the release of Battlefield 3 on Tuesday, I thought it would be fun to take a look back on the Battlefield franchise to see where it came from. Starting back in World War II on the PC all the way up to present day in the most recent Battlefield games on consoles and PC’s.
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
BF2142 was terrible. It could have been something great (titan mode was so much fun) it just lacked that 'something'. And bugs. Some publishers need to pull their head out of their asses and realize that no one likes or wants to buy a game filled with bugs.
Proud to have been there since codename eagle all the way till BC2/Vietnam DLC.
Can't wait for BF3 on 360 and PC. I did skip on 2 of the booster packs of BF2.
@kongreat Man 2142 was pretty cool as well, i dint face too many issues and northern strike kept me glued for hours on.
I have owned Both Bad Company games, 1943 and BF2 always fun high quality games.
I first played battlefield on the ps2 when it first cam to consoles. I'm proud to say I bought three copies in total of that game and have played every battlefield game ever since.
