Good Morning Boys
This is very sad news indeed. But not unexpected really. I did what you did, to get my members back together again after BF4 and about 1/3 of my members stopped by our website to check in. It was good to talk to them again.
But at that time... there was still no decent Clan Supported game on the PS4 for us to play together. BF4 wasn't the answer as we already found out not long after BF4 was released. And Clan Support was never added. BF3 is still a better game overall for small to medium sized Clans. But our members wanted to move on with their PS4s... or just give up gaming totally since the majority of my members were adults and had no interest in kiddie games.
But I'm not ready to give up on Clan gaming on the PS4 just yet. I predict that Battlefield 1 will not be a well accepted game for the masses of BF players that were looking for a great game as Bad Company2 was, to rebuild their online multiplayer Clans for public/private Clan Wars, Competitions and public/private Tournaments.
EA/DICE are now boasting about how great the BF1 Single Player mode will be. This was my most recent forum post I just used on several websites. See below.
--------Larger groups of friends, like the thousands of online gaming War Clans... that are currently looking for great Clan Supported games (in the vain of the old Sony SOCOM games, BF Bad Company2 and somewhat BF3 for PS4/xBox1 and some PC players, or ARMA for the PC players), that could support 64+ players at a time, using Private Controlled game Servers... and the large Clans that would buy thousands and millions of BF1 game disks, for the opportunity to once again have a Clan Supported game, are not interested in BF1 Single player mode. We are interested in large online public and private War Clan competitions and Public and Private Tournaments.
DICE's "pretty" BF4 game couldn't and didn't give us that game. Battlefield Bad Company2 and BF3 were decent for Clans, but could have been better. BF1 is a clone of BF4 and will not provide Clans and their millions of members around the world, the chance of playing BF1 as a real multiplayer tactical Teamwork game, using real battlefield strategy.
So... BF1 will make the young CoD kids happy, with the Run & Gun, Lone Wolf play style, Shooting Everything that Moves, Using no headset for communications, Screaming little kids that adult players must endure just to play BF1. Adult players like me and the large online War Clans... won't even consider buying the substandard BF1 game.---------
You may also find this post of mine interesting....
Be warned...EA and DICE recently speculated to the game press that BF1, will not sell as well as BF4 or BF3. EA and DICE gave this report in an interview that was reported by the game press just a few months ago.
EA and DICE both know... they've made a blunder, not releasing a Bad Company3. A decent BC3 would have saved DICE's reputation, as well as making EA a fortune in game sales. EA and DICE tends to have to learn the hard way... from sloppy game releases and games that 50% of their customers don't want.
You can bet your ass... Bad Company3 is already in development to save EA and DICE's financial ass, when the BF1 servers start to go empty in less than 6 months after BF1's release. EA and DICE will suffer through BF1, as they did with BF Hardline... and work furiously to get another well loved Bad Company game out like a new BF Bad Company3.
Making an encompassing multiplayer game like a BC3, would take 3+ years to even get off the ground. I predict, BC3 will come out early in 2017. Followed by a real modern warfare BF5 in 2019. Even as bad as the new Call of Duty game is... it will clean EA and DICEs BF1's clock at the game sales counters.
-------
As you can see... I'm not a fan of this new BF1. At $120+ just to play this thing in total with more costs to come for DLC and any Private Servers costs... I can't justify that. Pass. BF5 or Bad Company3 can't be that far off. If the new Battlefield games still have no comprehensive tactical Teamwork or Clan Support... we're done with all Battlefield games!
Hang in there guys. The Beer Clan may rise again! I'm holding on to our SoF website and hope for the best that Bad Company3 or BF5 will save the gaming Clans.
Keep in contact with me. I'll stop by here from time to time to see how you guys are doing!!
