You know you're getting old when......change sucks.

I apologise to those who obviously went to a lot of effort here, But I can't say as I like the new Battlefield forum format. It's very busy and noisy now. It'll be sorting, and remembering to use the right "prefix", and missing posts because they're mis-cued....blah blah.

Each iteration is a game in itself and unless you're playing them all there's nothing of interest in the other's forum. I don't see the point of grouping them together like this.
 
I vote with Yoomanist. I mean, if we can vote. If we can't, then "this is great!"
 
/r/battlefield which has 22,256 subscribers has all Battlefield content in one location similar to our forums. The community there is able to manage it's content with no issues. The Battlefield games are extremely similar just like the Counter-Strike series - it made sense for a change in this direction to happen.

From a purely technical / statistical standpoint, having subforums with as little activity as they had made little to no sense. Each subforum had less than a couple of threads created per week. It would be different if we had forums that had a couple hundred threads created over that time frame.

Don't forget that you can filter the threads by clicking on a prefix from the index page (example).
 
Posting here what I posted in another thread.

Its a change and with any change it takes time to get used to it. Atleast this way bc2, bf3 and bf4 will be aware of what is going on in each others games. All the other divisions are also going through similar changes and adapting well, so we also need to follow suit and set an example. This will help us bridge any of the gaps between all of the games the Battlefield Division supports so the reasoning behind it is sound. Change is constant with time, we just have to adapt to it.
 
Hell at least this way I get to familiarize myself with my brothers in all other battlefield games. Let's all not be shy and say hello! I'm rizzo083, father to be, former law man, gun toting Puerto Rican, I like long walks on the beach... Wait...
