While EA has confirmed that we’ll be hearing about this year’s Battlefield game in spring, it looks like that game will have to ship without one of the franchise’s veteran devs. Over on Twitter, Battlefield/DICE Producer Jaqub Ajmal announced that he’s departing DICE after almost a decade of service.

What a coincidence, right when the company went down the shitter and starting making poor excuses for games. Maybe the next release will finally be good again.
Battlefield went down the shitter in 2014… 7 years ago after they released Hardline
that shit was trash smh
Hardline was far from being my fave, but c;mon, man, it wasn’t “shit.” I mean, it had issues but it definitely was fun. 🙂
huge downgrade from BF4… abandoned superfast… i spent like 145 dollars on that game..smh waste of money
