FPS with crossplay.... hahahahaha
I don't think so. Console players would be getting their shit pushed in.
If EA wanted it to do well, they'd put it on Steam and not charge $60 for it. But they don't give a fuck so it'll be Origin exclusive @ $60 and dead within 2 months again.
I still don't think it'd be that big of an issue. If so maybe just make special servers that allow for it. That way those who want to stay on their cliques can.
are the newer battlefield games still active?
i don't think it's origin that killed titanfall, it was the price + new ip + no campaign + lack of carrot chasing features on top of origin imo
the game was great, but it regarded itself as an already successful game when it was actually a very new thing that players needed introducing to
kind of reminds me of evolve, too much hubris hurt them i guess
BF4 has a decent player size but that's really it. Hardline dropped, Battlefront dropped, so maybe not all of origins fault but still think it'd be better if it wasn't there.
It at least didn't hit a Evolve scenario however. Player counts are still decent on Xbox one, and the game sold quite well. Evolve on the other hand died in under a year and screeched to a hault on sales.
I do think the DLC set up they had planned hurt evolve. But more so that it just wasn't fun to play unless all the requirements was meant. Relief too much on everyone being a good player and the monster to be engaging.
Since it's a game where one player can easily just make it boring for everyone.
