DICE heeds 4chan's request... For Dinosaurs.

In a action that I can only describe as Bungie level community interaction,

Please don't insult what they did. This was very nice of them and we want them to do more of this stuff in the future. Calling them dicks for fan service? Uncalled for.

Excuse me?

Comparing them to bungie in regards to how they interact with their fans is the HIGHEST complement I can give.

I....I.....words fail to express my happiness. Never bought a BF game till now. This is marketing done right.

Yep.

More devs need to interact with their consumers and fanbase like this.

I'm adding DICE to the my list of devolpers who listen to their fans.... Bungie, Gearbox, Valve... and Dice.

Don't forget Ubisoft, Assassin's Creed 2 was basically the result of everyone being gathered round a big table and told "This is a list of everything people hated about AC1. FIX IT!" and what resulted is probably my favorite single game of all time.

Also Bioware (although some may argue that they listened to the feedback from ME1 a little too well)

I mean more of fan-dev interaction.

Bungie, Gearbox, and Valve all reguarily either talk with their fans on their sites on a multidaily basis, and go the extra mile for them with ARGs, and other events.

Other devs may LISTEN, but few directly talk back.

I remember that thread!!

I'm glad that there's a developer who actually listens to the community.

The battlefield gameplay was so beautiful anyway, after watching it the COD graphics just looked bad.
I don't normally buy fps's but I will definitely buy this.

Frostbite 2 does look quite good.

Well played, Dice. Well played.

Do you even know what you're talking about?

I've been raving about DICE for ever, now do you see why??
Fucking awesome, that's an even better challenge to MW3 than their free online services!

 

[qeinar]

They have focused on copying Call of Duty in every way that makes Battlefield not be Battlefield for this game and even in their trailers they can't take their eyes away from Call of Duty.

Hooray for small multiplayer maps and a linear campaign. At least they can make a joke about the one difference from CoD they have shown so far.

have you seen the new maps? some of them are HUUUGE, and hey are also releasing a map pack (free if you preorder the game) with a couple of old favorite maps from bf2. There are 64 players so making the maps small wouldn't really work all that well. The new engine looks fantastic, way better than what mw3 has shown us, and BF3 got dedicated servers, which is yet to be confirmed with mw3.

To each their own I guess. Sorry, I was a little concerned that you were meaning to insult their hospitality.

Am I not talking about Bungie?

Hilarious. Well done DICE, well done.

What? Plenty of things in the Halo games are from community suggestions. The disk-art for the ODST multiplayer disk is a screenshot from a community member. Every week Bungie hosts a community contest to create pictures/pieces of art based on something from the Halo universe. Every matchmaking update is done based on what the community wants(even if what they want is something fucking stupid like Spartan Laser and Rocket Launcher matchers... seriously, why did they ask for this?!). Before Halo was under complete control of Microsoft, Bungie made the Halo map packs free for everyone after a few months.

Bungie does their community good.

I didn't realize that it took so much effort to create a matchmaking lobby :O

Making one that the community wants and enjoys is hard though. Which is why Bungie asks for input, and makes changes based on feedback. Every month it does this, wheras most developers tend to ignore it, or put out updates that are months apart and don't fix most of the main issues.

 

[Amondren]

Activision you failed. DICE keep on trucking now I may pre-order the game.

Well I couldn't enjoy those playlists because Bungie locked me out of everything for not having all the mappacks in Halo 3 D:

As you can imagine, 4chan is now ecstatic [http://boards.4chan.org/v/res/97893275] (NSFW, of course)

Ok. So 4chan got their dinosaurs.

Next for their demands to be put in games....Lolicon. :/

Nah i bet they get a dino craze for that as well, dinosaur lolicon, i'm going to get some brain bleach for the images i gave myself.

You seem to be derailing the original point that was being made. You suggested that comparing DICE to Bungie in terms of community interaction was a bad thing. As other posters have pointed out, Bungie have one of the best records for responding to their community and what they want.

And I don't think what they do is anything special. That's why I was confused in my first post.

BLOODY BRILLIANT!!

Gaming developers have been way too serious recently, this definitely reminds everyone not to take gaming TOO SERIOUSLY at times. DICE you are going to earn my money this year.
