"Insert generic signature here"
Before I continue, I want to make this clear:
WE DON'T HATE BATTLEFIELD, WE DON'T HATE BF3, we simply hate the lies, the broken promises, the way DICE and EA has been treating us as well as the rest of the customers and the overall poor patch support DICE has given to BF3.
BF3 could have been a lot better, it could have had bigger content, more features, better support, but in the end, that's not what EA wants and there's nothing we can do to get the franchise back to it's roots and out of the CoD syndrome.
I used to be a Battlefield fan, constantly looking down on anyone who even gave the series a funny eye, however over the years, as the old DICE was being replaced by the new DICE, we (mordorHQ formerly know as EAUK) saw through EA and DICE's lies, we tried to raise awareness, we tried to give feedback (or feedbach as we say), we GAVE constructive critizism.
What was our reward? we got called nut jobs, idiots, whinners, spoiled kids and what have you (even ZH1NT0, the community manager called us a "black hole of negativity", ultimately calling EAUK Mordor).
The thread I'm linking here is pretty much a summary of the events that took place after BC2 was released to this date, what we, EAUK or Mordor as we call ourselves, witnessed and were part of.
Please, take your time to read this and then maybe the fanboys will at least get an idea of where we, the vets, come from when we "whine" that bf3 is not a successor to bf2.
Oh, and sorry, there's no tl:dr version because then it would overlook a lot of issues.
