Good observation, suits EA right for using such cheap tactics.
But, on the other hand, EA made so much money on the BF series that I think it wouldnt had payed off for them to wait and debug bf 2142. For the money they are makeing it seems it doesnt matter if the game is bugged as hell or not.
It boils down to what will the market say. Will QW, a game that has been polished for several long years and made with passion and respect toward the gamer, make more money than bf 2142, a piece of sh*t that ows its fame mostly to marketing and hype and was scrapped together faster than one QW map with absolutely no respect toward the user.
So the big question is: does it pay to make quality games? I honestly hope it does, but we’ll just have to wait for the release to find out.
