Sfscriv, the legend in the EA UK forums

[pershainovitsh]

If you've read the EA UK forums (nowadays also known as Mordor), you may have noticed how Scriv is being praised and people are starting to notice how he was right all along. Almost a year before BF3 was released, Scriv started making threads on how to improve Battlefield. And then he started to get worried (and so did I) and had to start trying to save the core Battlefield features, such as vehicular combat, teamwork, commo rose, commander, squad leader, squads...

Well, we all know what happened in the end. DICE didn't read their own forums or listen to their fans, and released a game that is very far from what you'd expect from Battlefield. BF3 wasn't a true successor to BF2, and was closer to CoD than to Project Reality, or even BF2 vanilla.

Here are some highlights: forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-3/1473161-my-bad-sfscriv-my-bad.html

According to bfmedics, another forum user who tried to save Battlefield (and got banned), here's the evolution of an average forum goer: (can be found on page 4 from the "my bad scriv" thread)

Scriv has made some very great threads, and I especially liked the one about fireteams within a squad. I had a good laugh in some thread where someone said something along these lines "hey scriv, if you really like this stuff why don't you join the army or something? We don't need this in BF." but in a less friendly manner I think.

Thanks, pershainovitsh

I am having my day in the SUN in the EA UK Forum after pounding over 3,300 posts into the forum since about NOV 2010.

There's a "sfscriv-style Battlefield 4 feedback" thread in Mordor.
www.mordorhq.com/showthread.php?4883-Penultimate-sfscriv-Style-Battlefield-4-Feedback*

The Mordorians know their leader well. The posts after the first one show how well... Here's some quotes:


"In order for this to be an sfscriv style post, it needs diagrams, line plots, and flow charts mapping out the decline of the BF series visually.

You would also need to post it about 15 times in 15 different threads. THEN it would be sfscriv style."

"His persistence was commendable. "

A quote of a quote: "Monger on brother, sell that fear. Bobby Kotick would be proud."

Some posts had images in them so I didn't quote them. Check the thread to see them.

Thanks for keeping me informed.

*sfscriv is not involved with this thread (at this time). His name appearing in the title is merely an homage to a diehard veteran of unparalleled zeal.
