EA buy domains for Battlefields up to 20, release new screenshots of Battlefield 4 - Polidicks

[url]http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/05/09/ea-buy-domains-for-battlefields-up-to-20-release-new-screenshots-of-battlefield-4/[/url] [quote]EA have popped down to the internet market and come back with a bumper bonanza of Battlefield dot-com domains, securing the series’ main arm all the way up to Battlefield 20. They’ve snapped up addresses in the BattlefieldXX.com format, registering numbers 13 through 20. The publisher was already sitting on the domains for Battlefield 1-9.[/quote]

Talk about milking the shit out of something, what the fuck?

Glad to see that they actually made a model for a black guy instead of just reskining the white guy at the last minute and forgetting to change all the details outside of the texture.

[QUOTE=Steven :D;40588099]Talk about milking the shit out of something, what the fuck?[/QUOTE] They're buying them preemptively so some squatter doesn't have control of one years down the line. Even if they can request a domain transfer from a squatter, it's a waste of time and money.

Getting a bit ahead of ourselves aren't we EA? Oh well, this is common practice for large publishers. Stops people snapping up addresses related to their products and sitting on them.

I think they're just doing it so someone doesn't take them and try to promote their own stuff

Azerbaijan? Same fucking region same fucking russians since caucus.

So then someone buy Battlefield 21, and demand EA give them shitloads of money for it when they come asking.

Caspian border map in BF3 and some levels of single player are set in Azerbaijan as well

[url]www.battlefield21.com[/url] facepunch should get one

[QUOTE=Nystical;40588285][url]www.battlefield21.com[/url] facepunch should get one[/QUOTE] Already taken, redirects to [url]http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/[/url]

21 already registered to rock paper shotgun lol

[QUOTE=shauntp;40588478]Already taken, redirects to [url]http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/[/url][/QUOTE] yeah that was why I initially posted the link, I was just adding that facepunch should get a link with the next available number on it

[url]www.battlefield23.com[/url] :pwn:

Hey, as long as there's commander mode [i]suddenly EA announces they're striking commander mode[/i]

I guess EA's feeling pretty confident now anyway. Let's face it, they've got the rights to make as many Star Wars games as they like - they can now afford to splurge on whatever titles they please and rest assured they'll have a constant stream of positive income from the Star Wars franchise. We're going to see more and more from EA in the news over the next month, just you watch.

[QUOTE=The golden;40588723]If those pictures didn't say "Battlefield 4" I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between it, BF3, or Warfighter. Shit all looks the same to me.[/QUOTE] Because they're modern shooters using the same engine with some of the same people making all three games. Duh?

[QUOTE=The golden;40588723]If those pictures didn't say "Battlefield 4" I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between it, BF3, or Warfighter. Shit all looks the same to me.[/QUOTE] Well you're missing the game being a fuckton more photorealistic because of voxel ray tracing. Light actually bounces off shit and onto other shit in BF4, and it looks REALLY fucking good.

[QUOTE=Sharker;40589073]Too bad they couldn't be bothered to make new models for the Russians.[/QUOTE] Does the Russian army redesign their uniforms inbetween games?

[QUOTE=Jaanus;40590058]Does the Russian army redesign their uniforms inbetween games?[/QUOTE] pfft yeah everybody knows that the entirety of the US and russian armies redesign their uniforms, throw away all their guns and weapons and buy new ones. it's so they can look cooler.

Well I'll go out and register Battlefield21.com Hah! Take that EA

[QUOTE=Mrkrabz;40588914][url]http://battlefield25.com[/url][/QUOTE] You're going to be rich when Dice wants to buy your domain when they release Battlefield 25.

Someone should probably register battlefield44.com, to benefit from people who can't type.

It's pretty obvious that they're doing this as a just in case thing to prevent anyone from sitting on a domain and demanding millions.

[QUOTE=Rinfect;40588115]Wow i cant wait for Battlefield 20![/QUOTE] So that will be in a few years then. With DLC in-between of course.
