In my humble opinion the fact that the corporate speech of "tremendous live service" and "biggest dev team ever" keeps showing up again and already is a sign to be very worried. I wish for the best but expect the worst judging by how out of touch EA has been for years now.

[@ThalantyrBF3]

​ @Smokeybonez_7 Respect the opinion. I felt BF2 with friendly fire, the 6-man squads, the fact that you could only spawn on the squad leader which added a huge amount of strategy to the game, no auto regeneration so you needed medics specifically, you had no idea where people killed you from, no markers on your HUD - you had to rely on the Commander to drop a UAV or players to spot and it would come up on your mini map. I think it was the right about of realism in an arcade FPS without being too much like ARMA or COD. It was it's own thing. You couldn't spam grenades whilst your team ran in. Once they made friendly fire non-default game mode no one ever played it and that ceased to exist. Ah, the days :(

[@valentinschreyl8220]

The franchise peaked with Battlefield 3. All that's left of the franchise is a shell of the former self. Battlefield 3 was the GOAT & great at continuously providing the community with quality content.

The amount of nostalgia i got from seeing BF3 and BF4 😢 thats my saturday night sorted

Guys no preorders and do not buy battlepasses. This bullshit needs to stop. Bring back BF 3 & BF 4 Battle packs and Battlelog!

[@dominator683]

I have 0 hope for the greedy devs to make a good BF again. Hopefully have new devs that actually play the game

[@STARSRav3n]

When they moved zampella over to lead dice i lost all hope. Zampella admitted that loot boxes and collection events in apex were him and respawn, not EA, and they never went back and made any if it earnable or remotely affordable. It was all whale hunting so I have zero hope for the next bf game and zampella can go gob a knob

[@leonciesla5456]

[@reapthewhirlwind6915]

Battlefield 3 close quarters dlc was so good

[@Ask3lad]

BF4 Naval Strike was GOATED

[@ThalantyrBF3]

I've pre-ordered and played every BF game since BF1942, many, many moons ago. None of them have come close to BF2 to date. The default friendly fire, no kill cam, no auto regeneration, no HUD spotting was the pinnacle of the series. It positioned itself between something like ARMA and COD. Since then it's slowly shifted towards COD and they've lost their place. RIP.

[@cthebuff9716]

Fully agree, BF2 was the pinnacle of the series. BF3, BF4 and BF1 have come close (and arguably surpassed it atmospherically in BF1), but never beat it in sheer gameplay, skill and coordination. Everything after BF1 was an abomination and nothing less than raw disrespect to the community 😤

[@R0d_1984]

Yeah, there were things i liked about BF3 though, BF3 was the last BF for me, I really miss BF2; Played ALOT of America's Army pre v3, preferred that over the Over FPS shrug.

[@damp2269]

imo BFBC2 was the peak. meaningful destruction, tailor made maps for rush, the right balance of gritty and whimsical.

[@ThalantyrBF3]

@@damp2269 I know a lot of people really liked BC2 and the destruction was pretty cool, but I felt like the Rush gameplay was miles away from what I wanted from a BF game. The maps were so thin and you'd just run a quad bike straight down the middle, hop off and hope you didn't die. That gameplay didn't work for me. Each to their own though.

[@damp2269]

@@ThalantyrBF3 i get it. what i like is that there is a battle line, you can usually tell where the enemy is coming from, conquest usually devolves into madness really quickly although some maps are better than others for either game mode.

[@ArouzedLamp]

If they carry over any game play elements from 2042, I hope they keep the weapon mod toggle system. That was hype. Also keep the dynamic/drastic weather changes - but make them less often.

[@kevinj834]

[@JerryCanTheThird]

Nope. Skipped BF2042 entirely. Got BFV right as the hype for BF2042 was ramping up for 5 or 10 USD. Thats the way to go, buy the last title right as the marketing push for the next one starts. The game is fixed, heavily discounted, lots of content and if its a good game it will have a healthy player base.

[@LuckyThirt33n-13]

I loved BF3, I played the Beta BF4 and immediately requested a refund for my pre-order, I don't know how it played later (if they fixed it) because I never came back to it.

[@KURUZU43]

I 100% agree with you Jack. Maps and weapons are the two most important things you must have in abundance in a FPS game! The other element would be the destruction because it's Battlefield right? Those three elements in previous Battlefield titles is what made the franchise great Maps, weapons, destruction. Battlefield is supposed to be an unfathered Sandbox of Chaos. Battlefield is not supposed to be Call of Duty it's supposed to be Battlefield.

[@ushwallman2070]

Can we get a Battlefield set in 1999? That would be wicked.

[@park2086]

[@theminimalist6815]

They want live service for profit, we want DLC for content. So just make a loaded live service and everyone will be happy

[@TMJK22]

A new Battlefield game will only succeed, in my opinion, by recreating the feeling I got from playing BF3 and BF4. I can’t name any other game that had me in it’s grasp like BF4. It was such a fun time and seeing the gameplay in your video makes me feel so nostalgic for the better times in gaming. I learned from my mistake and will never be pre-ordering a game again, BUT if they manage to recreate that feeling of nostalgia, childish fun and improvidence I had when I was 15/16 I’d be more then happy to trust them again. I haven’t given up on them, but they sure as hell have some fixin’ up to do. May the universe be on our side this time.

The most underrated thing ever in battlefield 4 was joining lobbies with 5 to 15 people on dragons valley conquest large lol, just having a little battle, really immersive and goofy, feeling like a special ops when taking out those wooden bridges with c4 and timing it perfectly, hiding from them after lol, If some of you used to play on dragons valley lobbies like these on ps4 back in the day , Hello

bf3/4 and hardline were the golden era in my opinion :( loved it so much and still hopping on bf4 every now and then

went back to BF1 this year after a couple years of not playing. Love it. Hope i get the same satisfaction with the new one!

[@Sam-xt2gz]

Ah yes. They've learned from their experience and now they'll repeat it. So: - An incomplete game at launch that doesn't get anywhere near its intended release state until a year later. And, more importantly: - No single player campaign. Honestly, I'll just continue playing BF4 until something interesting comes from DICE.

[@adrawingprotogen2994]

I say that on whatever this new game's launch day is, instead of logging into their game, everyone boots up BF4/BF1/BFV and spikes THOSE player counts to send a message.

[@paintballisawsome]

DICE has been gutted since battlefield 3/4, theres no creative devs left who actually know what made battlefield good. The next game will suck.

[@ccchhhrrriiisss100]

The best part of BF3 was not just the settings, visuals and maps. Rather, it was the many different types of modes that gave you the chance to sample EVERYTHING. If you didn't want big scale conquest, you had small scale (and faster) Conquest (i.e., "Domination"). This made it like playing both BF and CoD in the same game. Plus, you had modes like Conquest Assault, Rush, Gun Master, CTF and Co-op modes available whenever you wanted to play. It was brilliant -- and felt so much more complete than CoD or the BF games that came later. Those modes made each map feel different, exciting and fresh. I hope that the new BF game can replicate this. As a live service? That kind of feels like more of the mundane "same ol' same ol' that we've been increasingly (or decreasingly) stuck with since BF4.

[@STARSRav3n]

One game mode I loved in BF4 was amphibious assault. It was fucking awesome where you fight over the mainland area and the team that wins would end up boarding those big ass ships and fighting through to blow it to hell.

[@tristanjoao3464]

The single player and co-op was amazing aswell

As long as DICE doesn't know how to create proper and authentic WAR atmosphere again, the franchise is doomed to fail.

[@NicCrimson]

Didn't they attempt that with Hazard Zone?

[@Dopesaur]

@@NicCrimson They did! It was another misstep in the 2 step pattern of Battlefield trying desperately to cling onto new trends instead of just doing their own thing. BFV had Firestorm, a (in my opinion) half baked idea that was doomed to fail from the start. Trying to replicate other franchises Battleroyale success. 2042 had Hazard zone, A gamemode so badly received, I think the support for the mode lasted a shokingly low amount of time. I honestly cannot recall when that news came out, but all I remember thinking is that they dropped it super early on in the games lifecycle. Because nobody played it I'm sure. I just hope that they decide to stick to what Battlefield is supposed to do right and steer clear of the latest trends for once. Focus on the stuff that made the franchise what it was, and hopefully turn out with a more coherent product
