That sucks.

Titanfall 2 was sent out to die and was very obviously used as a pawn against cod

Yup, shyt was planned.

Wonder if all the Devs and owners can leave and just make another company.

What EA should have been doing was having the same system as Activision. 3 studios with 3 year cycles.


So you have
battlefield
Titanfall
Battlefront

In a 3 year rotation and not competing against each other.

Respawn Entertainment: Now owned by EA, Formed by ex Activision/Infinity Ward vets, who were the developers of the original Medal of Honer games for EA.

You can only run away from death for so long.

Damn did the game bomb that much? No reason to sell themselves to EA.

I really believe EA was trying to oversaturate the 1st person shooter market to hurt COD. I kno that sound stupid. But why would u sand which TF in between COD & BF? I really believe EA want Anthem to be the next big thing imo

Yep....


EA going behind their backs and making TF1 a total xbone exclusive instead of timed.

EA sandwiching TF2 inbetween battlefield and cod.

This is ridiculous. Titanfall 2 was an incredible game.

Switch Battlefront with Medal of Honor and I'm with you. BF is beholden to that deal with Disney to coincide with the movies.
