It's a Battlefield game. Everyone knows how it's going to play. I'd imagine the game's failure here can be attributed to either:



A) Battlefield/WW2 ennui.



or



B) People are still mad about that E3 trailer that has the woman soldier with a bionic arm. Click to expand... Click to shrink...

WWII setting and how they are portraying it, not in terms of women or anything but the maps and setting. I want BF1 style, gritty beach landings in the pacific, D-Day assaults, Pearl Harbor, Pacific Theatre Island Hopping, Battle of the Bulge.Fighting in Norway (Or sweden or whatever) with northern lights in broad daylight just doesn't appeal the the WWII media thirst that I have, which is low to begin with. Rotherham was never even invaded and we have two maps taking place in it? WTF?Also the majority of the changes are under the hood or small gameplay mechanics that are hard to market.
