    A shame because I thought Battlelog had potential

    sadly that potential was never really fully embraced

    It was never used right.

    They should have let servers have their own profile pages like platoons and players so there could be some interaction between server admin and the players and perhaps made a much more painless process for organizing events and specific map rotations or modes

    and allowed players to schedule things. Like for example me penning in on my wall that I plan to play on X server at Y time, who wants to join me? Again if servers had an identity on battlelog you could have seen a streamlined process for booking slots or organizing small tournaments

    We should have also seen the ability to not just form platoons but also teams/squads and battlelog tracked the stats when the squad played together.

    But none of that happened, instead it was basic stat tracking and facebook lite.

    And honestly the biggest problem with battlelog was simply the idiocy of having both it and Origin.

    Ea should have picked one or the other (and at this point Origin is in a better state so pick that) but having both was just annoying, especially early on when Origin was nothing more then a glorified security check which battlelog could have filled just as easily without the need of having both my browser and origin running anytime I wanted to play battlefield.

    Though I have no issues with the loss of the forums, I had more respect for the battlefield community before I came face to face with the official forums.
