With all of EA's missteps over the last little while, I've heard a lot of resentment toward their future releases... except for Titanfall, which I find odd. I understand that EA is just a publishing partner, but imo, if you are going to hold a grudge, you should at least do it right.
6v6 is all well and good, honestly. You can have plenty of fun with that player count. But for a full-priced, multiplayer-only title, I wonder how many people would have been expecting a bigger scale, or at least the option. Though, with the issues that Battlefield 4 has had since launch, especially in larger player-count games(rubber-banding, hit detection, etc) perhaps limiting matches to 6v6 is a good thing.
