I haven't really got into HD2, too online for my tastes, but I can see its appeal. I think there is a broader phenomenon of a divorce between where big studios are heading and where "traditional" players want to be.

They’ll see a live service game doing well and think that people want more live service games, not fun games.

Couldn't have said it better.

I can say, when you're out there with your squad and it feels like space Vietnam, that's why its selling. That portion of the atmosphere, gameplay, and intensity is on point
