In a bit of news that slipped past us, DICE has announced that it will be ending monthly support for Battlefield 1 starting in June. In a news post last Wednesday DICE talked about the final expansion, Apocalypse, as well as making more maps available for everyone, and a new game mode called Shock Operations coming in June. However buried at the very bottom DICE had this to say:
We’re continuing monthly updates for Battlefield 1 until June 2018, in which you can expect fresh content together with various tweaks and fixes for the player experience. As you may have seen on the Updates Page, these updates can cover anything: matchmaking, weapon balancing, even Dreadnought horns that sometimes won’t stop blaring.
So shy of 2 years after release, they are dropping monthly support. Likely because they are going to shift focus onto whatever Battlefield 2018 will be. I can personally say I'm disappointed in the battlefield series overall. Though 1942, Vietnam, BF2, 2142 it was honestly my favorite game, but ever since the expansion packs for Battlefield 3, the spark seems to be fading on what made the series so great.
