EA trying to avoid paying for licensing but will make people pay for online passes, overpriced DLC and that Premium nonsense. Another reason I will not purchase Battlefield 4.

Great interview. I wish him and his team the best.

Looks like Mr. Gustavsson and DICE forgot what happened with Battlefield 3.

"When will we learn our lesson?" I ponder that question concerning the entire video game industry.

Does this mean I can finally use the Mauler, Phoenix, MagSec4, Laptop Gun, Super Dragon, Callisto NTG and FarSight XR-20?

My hope would be that EA/Dice fix their mistakes. If the virtual firearm reflects the actual firearm, great! There is no need to change them. If the ballistics are good, don't change it. Keep the realism for firearms, vehicles and etc. I haven't bothered with the latest update. In fact, I haven't played Battlefield 3 online for two months or so. Aside my dislike for people taking several shots (center mass) at close range with a .50 caliber machine gun, I did get tired of people using aim assist religiously. Which is also why I don't bother playing Call of Duty's online multiplayer all that much.
