As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.
I have no idea if you're agreeing with me, disagreeing or being sarcastic lol..
I was agreeing through sarcasm.

I can as well, but I'm foreseeing a lot of "too soon? how tasteless!" discussions if it goes down the "ripped from the headlines" route, lol.
Visceral? Why not Fersis?
Yearly Battlefield?
That's exactly why. That's not a "garbage" reason, despite whatever personal opinion you might have of endlessly buying sub-par games. Its a legitimate complaint and this is the final nail in the coffin. Battlefield has already been going downhill but this is the end. Not of the series, not of the millions of obsessive types who must populate the latest iteration of a FPS series each year. Its a different sort of end which should be obvious to anyone who's taken a look at Call of Duty since 2007.
BF3 was their last chance for me. No BF will ever capture the fun of BF1942, BFV, and BF2.I'm done with Battlefield. BF4 wont be fixed. BF5 will roll out or whatever this is. People will move to that. Money wasted. Time wasted.

I love Battlefield, but the military theme is already bad enough. Cops? No way. I've had too many direct experiences with the police to buy any game that tries to glorify them.
well In all honesty I'm a bit miffed at where Visceral is today. Instead of getting a next gen Dead space, were getting another milked product from EA from a developer who's talents are being wasted.
It might just be THIS! :O

It was always rumored that they got picked up.

I don't mind so much if it's a different developer with an (apparently) quite different theme.
If the Battlefield name is what it takes for us to get something more in the vein of SWAT, or a Heat game that isn't Payday, I'm down.
Visceral, despite stumbling a bit with Dead Space 3, seems like a fairly imaginative studio. I'm interested to see what they may bring to the Battlefield franchise.
I feel like I remember everyone hand-wringing over Battlefield 2's setting when it was first announced, and now look where we are.
I'd be interested if they used the game to highlight the ever increasing militarization of US police forces. NYPD having their own spy network is beyond creepy.
SP might be the high point of this version. Visceral is pretty good with SP.Different dev? Hopefully the sp doesn't suck
Can I ask why? Apart from the obvious "diluting the marketplace" garbage? If the games are still getting a decent (1.5-2 yr) development cycle then I don't really see a problem personally.
Can we please just have 2143 made by someone competent.
I'm starting to think it's even more likely this rumor, if true, is based on the halted Police Warfare kickstarter.
1. Police Warfare kickstarter mysteriously cancelled. Elastic Games said more news would be forthcoming. No news has come out since.
2. Elastic Games doesn't seem to exist anymore. Their website, Twitter, Facebook all disappeared within the last few months.
3. Their studios was located in Montreal, Canada. While Visceral Montreal is no longer around, they could have taken jobs at EA Montreal, who then could transfer them to Visceral proper. Or EA could have picked up the project from them and given it to Visceral.
4. Polygon now has info that a Police themed Battlefield is on the way.
It's not that farfetched now that I think about it. I'm sure I'm missing some pieces of info here, but you get my point.
Well if you know the staff on the project we could go look at where they are.I'm starting to think it's even more likely this rumor, if true, is based on the halted Police Warfare kickstarter.

Did Visceral really design End Game maps? Because I really liked those maps (except Nebandan Flats).

I guess this means we've officially run out of countries to go to war with. Time for the war on drugs
How would this even negatively effect DICE's Battlefield work? Can't you just...not play the Visceral games?
