You guys are going to want to set aside a few minutes to watch this leaked Battlefield Hardline trailer today.

Thanks DICE/EA. After BF4 and now this, makes it easy for me to bow out of Battlefield.
I was really confused why they kept referring to "Omaha" when the damn thing is called Hardline.
There are only 1000 better places for a setting in a video game than Nebraska.
Sweet ive always wanted a Battlefield: Counter SWAT
So what I got from the trailer was:
Battlefield meets Counter-Strike, has an orgy with Payday, and gets gang banged by Need For Speed.
So....much....unoriginal CHEESE.
Visceral Games, Dead Space devs are making this one.
Star Wars: Battlefront should be the next game by DICE.
Looks cool..but will probably require origin so I'll never play it.
GD shame I can't go buy a boxed game on DVD these days and not be forced to install shitware. And since I am sure someone will quote me if I don't add this and herp derp about Steam..I don't use it either.

Visceral and EA Battlefield....probability high for some gaudy and obnoxious microtransactions...day 1

OMAHA....................
Lots of shit I've heard a million times before..
is anyone the least bit concerned its promoting using militarized police on a civilian population like its an action movie
Don't care. If you like installing shitware on your PC to play your games, more power to you. I won't. I took a stand against that kind of shit years ago and I'm not about to compromise now.
I have no objections to Digital distribution as a concept. I object when one or more of the following are true;
1) I am required to have a unneeded third party client running constantly in the background to verify I am not a criminal.
2) It costs me the same amount of money as buying the physical box. Frankly It costs them drastically less to have me download it, I should be paying drastically less. This whole idea of me paying the same so they can make more money doesn't fly. If I see a Digital copy and a Physical copy both at the same price, I am going to buy the physical every time.
3) There is a chance of the download servers for a game I own being down in the future. You might be ok with the "You are leasing it" concept, But I am most certainly not. A Physical disc Guarantees that I will always be able to use it in some manner in the future if I so wish.
Actually I have a bunch more reasons, but halfway through I realize nothing I say is going to change your mind and visa versa. Suffice to say, I have a laundry list of reasons to oppose Steam and Origin.
1) Better of the evils, would you rather have intrusive DRM baked into the game?
2) This is true, but it also enables them to pay (hopefully) the devs better. The industry has changed, devs don't live on hopes and dreams anymore, they're paid pretty well.
3) Your right, but guess how many times I've installed Half-Life in the last 10 years, imo one of the greatest games ever, zero. It's on my Steam account and I threw the boxed version out long ago. The same with Battlefield 1942 and a slew of other games, they may be great and all but the actual chances of playing one of those games once they're past their prime is pretty slim.
Yes your right, nothing said is going to change anyone's minds but your reasons depict a genuine inability on your part to adapt to where the industry has moved.
