The game is not the same as it used to be. You used to have people runing with tank busters and, rappid fire pistols and funny clothes, but now almost no one can afford that, game became realy dull. I blame EA for that >[

it saddens me about the whole thing I’ve been playing since open beta first came out i had thoroughly enjoyed it the price was just right for me to keep my stuff and have fun but then the update came and now it is impossible for me to keep one item for more then a few days
and whats worse is that absolutely everyone in the game feels either betrayed or screwed over

worst of all some people actually think it’s just a matter of weather your willing to mow a lawn or two to buy virtual information when it’s a matter of principle it’s the fact that it’s yet another example of companies trying to nickle and dime us for crap we don’t need

The really sad thing about this whole issue is the follwing.
In my opinion the whole concept just failed. I mean
seriously… the game is made for kids or teenagers.
Is this really a good place to expect alot of money from?
I think the answer is clearly: NO.
And its getting worse. There were weapons available for
money. These weapons do exactly the same like the free.
Sense? Ok you save some VP (playmoney).
Now they put in weapons (again) for real money wich
is giving an decent advantage. Ok fine, but like i’ve
said before. Game is for kids, they won’t profit here.

Sorry for my worse English, but i did the best i could

Maybe my description of “perfect” was a bit off. But I couldn’t agree with you more when it comes to stupid business decisions. EA simply saw a way to squeeze more money out of people and take advantage of them. Now the gamers will speak their minds by walking away. It always shocks me how most large companies have some of the most incompetent and disconnected people running the ship. *shakes head*

Nice article, I wouldnt go as far to say it was a perfect game, as the game has long been plauged by hackers (although not as much as people complain about), and bugs.

I played the game alot myself and I strongly believe that EA has shot themselves in the foot. Ben Cousins has been quoted as saying “Battlefield Heroes is a business at the end of the day” and “we need to increase the amount of BF that people buy”, but you dont do that by eliminating 90% of the gamers that play the game. That will leave the 5% of the players that pay to support the game with groves of empty servers.

They’ve offended potential customers and ruined the experience for those who actually paid for the game. Not to mention the fact that they decimated server sales from their partners (leetservers, branzone, and more). The game was also ad supported, lets see how their ad parnters react to having less than 1/3rd of the total of players continuing to play.

Finally Ben Cousins mentioned that “for a company like EA who recently laid off 16% of their workforce, we need to keep an eye on the accounts and make sure we are doing our bit for the company.” well its no wonder EA is reducing their work force with dumb decisions like killing off hundreds of thousands of potential customers.
