With Community Games, we wanted to give our players the toolset to share the Battlefield experience with their friends. As noted, we are bringing Community Games on December 9th, 2019. We’re really excited to see what you think once you get in and create your own experience.

 

In our Community Broadcast earlier this year, we touched on additional features when discussing our Community Games plans. We’ve had to rescope this feature and the above listed items will be what is included in the first release of Community Games. The features listed below are not coming in the initial release of Community Games, but we’ll be back in the New Year with more information on the continued work of Community Games.

Where the Fuck do they come up with some of this shit "Have your name highlighted in chat if you’re the owner of the server" most likely one of the top features down-voted in internal meetings but felt we needed it anyways

 

And What about a TRUE HC mode?

I've pretty much given up on BF to be honest. Until there is some major house cleaning done DICE will continue to kill off its most successful title. Who the hell am I kidding I cant find the time to get into anything solid anywho.

Well I hate to say it but DICE strikes again.

I mean how could you not get it when everyone has been screaming about servers since the abortion that was the BF1 servers. Now they dont even have the excuse of it being a revinue stream. I mean for christ sakes just go back to third party servers and let us have the tools to play the game like we want. Ive never seen a company be so utterly clueless and not utterly be driven out of the market by its customers.
