Jester - BF Hardline stunning weakness - Besides firing veterans and wishing them 'Best of luck', I'd think EA would find a way to 'dress up' this disaster, and the Analysts seem to be sheep - all sins are forgiven (I noticed the emphasis EA has put on DLC and other non-central things.) Perhaps they'll spin 'Hardline' as simply a simulation of the French military 'surrender monkeys', who haven't won a war by themselves in over a century. Or Italy having a hard time overcoming Ethiopians with spears. The 'performance' analogies seem apt, no?
