All old Battlefield forums merged to form "Battlefield Series" forum

**WileECyte** · 09-03-13, 02:49 PM

All the previous Battlefield forums have been merged to form the Battlefield Series forum. We've added prefixes to the post to reflect which game the post pertains to. All new posts in this forum will require a prefix when the post is made. This will ensure going forward that we'll have the correct information in place.

You can filter the forum based on the prefix by selecting the prefix at the bottom of the forum. This will allow you to ONLY see posts for a given game if that's all you're interested.

RAGE!!!!

That's right... we're lumping BF2 and 2142 right in there with BF3 and 4. The world... is truly a sadder place today.

I think I just got cooties.

Why?

What's the benefit? Why not sub Battlefield series forums? How will this impact searches on Google for "BF4,BF3, BC2, etc."?

Wow! I feel sorry for the Admins monitoring the prefixes.

EDIT: No rage, just curious.

This is the key. I feel we'll be repeating it quite often though.

How many people start new topics these days about BF2 or 2142? How many will start new topics about BF3 in say 3-4 months? The newest version will be at the top, this just prevents us from having to create and move forums every year when a new version of the same game comes out.

Each forum/subforum further complicates our permissions system and adds overhead to the web server further degrading service.

Exactly. Now if someone wants to find a topic about BF2... it's right with the rest of the 'Battlefield' topics. For the old crusty salts who just can't let go of BF2... they can revive dead threads.
