With EA's ongoing handling of issues with Battlefield 4 in mind, has the company's reputation been damaged to the point where you won't be buying it's products in future?

EA aren't doing the servers for titanfall afaik.

I played the Beta and the game is really good fun. It is THE title to get on Xbox One...may be less exciting if you are a PC or 360 gamer.

I will if the reviews are good, there is no way i will pre-order though.

I had a few hours on the beta and enjoyed it.

Not had any issues with BF4 on the PC other than the terrible load times and gernal BS of running it in a sodding web browser!

One thing I wont be doing is getting it on release, I Pre-ordered BF3 and then 6 months later you could pay £30 and get all the DLC for free....nice kick in the balls to those that paid upfront so they knew the DLC was worth their while.

EA do not own Respawn entertainment. They just have a deal with them to publish the game.

Also EA are not hosting the servers on any platform. It's all being handled by Microsofts Azure cloud service.

So yes I will be buying the game without hesitation as the BETA was great fun.

For once I can say its not EA's fault. DICE are just awful when it comes to the BF series and I have been a mug for all of them. I started playing late in BF1942 and loved it. Got BF2 and whilst it had issues it was great...until they decided vehicle drops were a good idea and brought on a world of issues that never got fixed. BF2142 was a nightmare with punkbuster kicks all the time but was the most stable and playable of the lot. BF3 was broken from the start and the weapon balance were a joke! BF4 has been the worst ever! Have lost my single player campaign 5 times, drop out the game all the time, cant join servers, weapon balancing is awful.

Now look at BF4 as a good deposit for Titanfall

Titanfall is a much simpler game than any of the BF series. The beta played very well without a single hitch so I'm expecting Titanfall to play very smoothly. It's also running a well used and understood engine in Source so there will be no issues there.
