The censorship in BF V Israel involves restrictions on content and information.
I'm curious about how many users pulled out their preorders. Some are pointing out that the maps look small and resemble "Standard Shooter" versions rather than Battlefield content. Additionally, the flag displayed is the Imperial German Navy Flagg, which was phased out in 1918 when Germany surrendered.
Just reviewed the official battlefield discussions. Users are voicing their views while moderators adjust posts, remove content, and issue bans due to dissatisfaction. They emphasize that open betas serve as a testing ground for filters, not a final product. Many highlight unfair censorship, pointing out racial slurs are suppressed while others aren't. EA dismisses concerns, calling it a minor issue and suggesting users should accept the changes. Critics argue this undermines trust and revenue, questioning whether such actions reflect bias or mere policy. The conversation underscores frustration over perceived inconsistencies in moderation and the impact on player experience.
I don't agree with this. They'd be labeled racist, honestly. Just right. Blocking GTA online seems absurd to me. No one should need a censor to play it, online or offline. If parents object, why allow kids to play at all? And what about billboards promoting perfume and making you smell like a bitch? Why would they restrict chat while allowing their own ads? I also think most games treat the online version similarly to the base game—rated as otherwise unrated.
It's intriguing how EA appears to be retreating by labeling features like a chat filter as a "bug," despite its intentional rollout and approval from EA/DICE. It also raises concerns about the company censoring the abbreviation "DLC." Even with chat filtering, toxic behavior persists in games, especially when players can disable it with a single key press. If players struggle to cope with offensive language in-game while hearing similar curses in chat, it may indicate a mismatch between the game's rating and its actual experience. I believe EA/DICE should offer users control over censorship settings or allow custom servers to manage what appears in chat, rather than imposing restrictions that limit player freedom.
