Not surprised, and also not interested in the game. It will be, at best, a rehash of BF3, and at worst an even greater step in the opposite direction from what made the earlier titles so great. I still laugh at the quote one of the DICE mouthpieces made about not beating CoD by becoming CoD. Well guess what guys, you ARE CoD. Enjoy your soon-to-come crash and burn while you fail to deliver anything for your new fanbase and have shown you have no interest in supporting your old one.
Meanwhile, SoE will be getting my gaming money. That is, of course, assuming that the PS2 devs stop falling in love with everything BF and then try to emulate IT, in which case I think I'll just stick to my NES.
