I don't think they will either but who knows they may suprise us.
For me the publisher makes no difference as to how the game is, it's down to the developers to make the game work which hopefully Respawn actually do properly.
I have had no issues with EA in terms of them as a company EA actually helped when I had a issue and when it could not be fixed they refunded the game and let me keep it on Origin, they also added Crysis to my Origin account when I got the game for free when I bought a graphics card, and the cd got damaged and I said I couldn't find a working copy to download from anywhere.
no they won't surprise us because they don't need to bother about the 30k BO2 PC players.
EA has a lot of people inside DICE and they pretty much set the rules, they influence the game a lot.
last time i needed EA support it took them 2 weeks to write me an answer. and the answer was basically "f*ck off, we don't care".
