Battlefield 4 you never cease to amaze

So, Battlefield 4 Naval Strike dlc was supposed to drop in our Origin accounts today for the Premium players, I said 'was'... meaning that it's gone to shit... again.

Far out brussel sprout!, you shell out over $100.00 AUD for a bloody game and you virtually get a virtual cluster fuck of non sense. Below is the excerpt from the article posted on the battlelog forum.

However, we are delaying the launch of Battlefield 4 Naval Strike on PC. We’ve detected an issue and it needs to be solved. Quality is our number one priority and we will not release Battlefield 4 Naval Strike on PC until we feel it meets the highest quality level possible. We are also working on a larger update to release alongside Battlefield 4 Naval Strike on PC that will address the issue of Tablet Commander not working correctly. Once we have a confirmed date for PC, we’ll be sure to update those players on our official channels. We appreciate your patience and look forward to seeing everyone on the Battlefield.

Here is the original post on Battleog forum.


Lets dissect this shall we?

• we are delaying the launch of Battlefield 4 Naval Strike on PC. We’ve detected an issue and it needs to be solved.
  Are you serious? you've detected an issue right before its about to be released, what does this actually mean? You were putting the final touches on Naval Strike and thought 'you know what, I might actually play test this to see if it's actually fit for purpose'.  Explain this to me.

• Quality is our number one priority and we will not release Battlefield Naval Strike on PC until we feel it meets the highest quality level possible.
  This is getting very hard to believe, as maybe this should have been the announcement right before Battlefield 4 was about to release last year.  It's like you're putting a band aid over a severed artery, you make it look like you're doing something, but the blood will just keep pumping til you drown, the body dies or you actually get serious and fix it properly.
  So far the 'body dying' scenario is winning out on this one.

• We are also working on a larger update to release alongside Battlefield 4 Naval Strike on PC that will address the issue of Tablet Commander not working correctly.
  Fuck the Tablet Commander!, scrap the Commander Mode altogether, it's woeful and does nothing but detract from the experience.  Yeah!, yeeha!, lets play Battlfield 4 on my fucking tablet!... maybe I will since the actual First Person Shooter element on Battlefield is a jarring experience to begin with.  Seriously, get rid of the Commander Mode, problem solved and more time can be spent fixing the actual game.

• Once we have a confirmed date for PC, we’ll be sure to update those players on our official channels. We appreciate your patience and look forward to seeing everyone on the Battlefield.
  You're losing me Dice, EA, whoever is calling the shots... you're losing me.  Battlefield 3 was my go to game the last couple of years just because it's scale was epic and captured something very special from when I was young lad growing up thinking how awesome games would be in the future.  Now, we've got a game with a broken back and hasn't recovered you are effectively putting your fingers in the holes of a sinking ship and it's filling fast...
  
  I was at least a little excited about this dropping tonight, but utter lunacy of the reasons given to why Naval Strike is delayed is beyond ludicrous and has annoyed me enough to blog about it rather than roll my eyes and play something else.
  
  DICE, EA, PULL YOUR HEAD IN!
