    Maybe they should read this then. Seems to figure out at least some of their complaints.

    * revelead

    * cintematic

    Okay, okay, I could go on all day :D

    It wins with "sign this petition like unthinking sheep to not be a sheep to EA" tagline, though:

    * there

    (couldn't help myself there)

    "if you wanna play games windows 8.1/10 is master race?" :p I'm sorry but the Desktop UI has nothing to do with game performance. Newer libraries and directx on the other hand....

    it's kindoff a pointless point though since i won't debate it.

    I emulate windows with graphic card passthrough to play some games and use some apps on linux so yeah. more games on windows.

    What? That looks pretty good!

    Also droids and clones it seems? =o

    Edit: If it's the graphics... It's not done yet, others have said the graphics were similar to the "in engine" footage so I'm inclined to believe this is really indev. The other thing was scripted though... We'll see.

    Edit 3: Why confuse me with gameplay from the original BF3? >:L

    I thought the title of the video and multitude of frowny faces were a dead giveaway. But I guess that's just me.

    I'm on mobile so I couldn't see the full title. And I just assumed you thought it bad. XP

    1st impression of the trailer when I first saw it

    OMG YEAH I WANT THIS

    Then I stepped back and realised just how much that was the intention of the trailer, especially of the back of the SW7 trailer hype.

    Concerns
    -Space battles
    -Range of environments
    -Range of objectives
    -Classes
    -Can of worms that is DLC
    -Frickin' EA
    -Replayability (I don't know about anyone else but I figured out sure fire ways to win easily in BF2 both in space and on land)

    My advice - DO NOT PRE-ORDER THAT GAME - show EA that you are a savvy consumer who has been burned too many times.

    I'm particularly concerned about the style of gameplay. BF1 and 2 were not CoD clones like BF hardline is and I will be wholly disappointed if they try to make it too different by making the maps tiny, the objectives five meters from each other and the classes built for too fast of a game.

    Even TF2, while often fast, is better than CoD and it's reaction time gameplay.

    As usual, your advice in capital letters is spot on. Bravo.

    People really need to get off of the EA hate train. Especially considering the year Ubisoft have had.

    Don't worry. Nobody's too fond of Ubisoft anymore either.

    Believe you me I despise Ubisoft for the **** they are pulling and the way they treat their consumers too. I'm just lucky that they aren't publishing any games that are remotely interesting to me.

    In this case, I wouldn't call it hate of EA, just expected disappointment - a conditioned response of sorts.

    Especially in this pre-crash era, no-one is free of blame, from the publishers all the way through to the consumers.

    (I should probably say that EA made some games I consider favourites such as TWINE and Nightfire - I think they were EA anyway)

    We aren't mad at EA, just severe disappointed in DICE. I know they can make good games, and I'm almost certain they know the decisions they're making are bad ones.
