YOU PC BRO?!
smh stop trying to bring this whole culture war shit into everything regarding this. I don't even know of those who cried about any of that fucking shit even played those games.

With what they did with Dead Space and Dragon Age, I don't believe EA is returning to last gen systems with their big future AAA titles. So, 99% sure this will be current gen only.
Who plays BF4 on PS3 anyway?
Why not both?
I came here to say this. Jack Frags is such a shill , I guess it makes him cash but I don’t trust his impressions at all.
from recent EA earnings call
As Season 7 of Battlefield 2042 wraps up, one thing is clear; each season of the game has shown our team's unique ability to listen, learn, and draw inspiration from the community to deepen connection with the franchise. Players continue to be passionate about the Battlefield franchise, which has surpassed over 25 million players over the last 12 months. The community is energized by what our teams are doing and excited for what comes next.
The community is energized by what our teams are doing and excited for what comes next. This is not just one of our top priorities, it is also one of the most ambitious projects in our history. We have brought together the very best team coupled with the resources and technology they need to deliver an epic Battlefield experience. I am excited about what is to come next as we continue to make progress across our strategic priorities.
Disagree that it had to go "modern". I think it should have doubled down on the traits that made it unique to other competitive FPS. They were already carving their own path with the large scale and tactical battles. All sorts of levels of destruction with buildings, terrain deformation, physics that actually made multiplayer games varied and immersive.
Thats sounds like revisionist history. Battlefield has always been the more technically impressive game. The gunplay has always been more advanced in BF with guns having more variance and feel due to battles over huge maps so players have to compensate for bullet drop. The team based squad mechanics in Battlefield encourages team work better than COD, as well as give players more options to coordinate, like tanks, jets, helicpoters, boats, dirtbike, jet ski, etc. They've had environment destruction, where you could reduce buildings to rubble, and other games where each map has a scripted catastrophe or weather event. The Frostbite engine has always been its trump card over COD.crappy image, but that HUD is messy
makes me feel like im the martix when all the crap is popping up all over the place
also feel like bf games just tend to add more flash instead of actually refining the gameplay/gun feel/core mechanics.
taken many steps backward really.
? huh? well no and yes.
ReSpawn worked on Portal and I believe some of the DLC, I don't even know if they are large enough to do a whole BF title alone btw, but DICE is very much doing the next BF title. From what I read, the whole "ambitious" thing has to do with all their main teams that assist in BF to all work on the title, as in ReSpawn, DICE, Ripple Effect (old DICE LA that did the DLC stuff) and some other teams.
So its sounding like from the jump they want all hands on deck or something, but I don't know how they'll handle DLC tbh.
From what we know from some investor call, it will be the largest team they've ever put together to create a Battlefield game.
"this is the largest Battlefield team in franchise history”.
That team will span studios Motive, DICE, Ripple Effect and Criterion - after the majority of Need for Speed studio Criterion were pulled over to work on Battlefield last year and the devs behind the Dead Space remake at Motive joined them earlier this year - who Wilson said are building “a Battlefield universe across connected multiplayer and single-player experiences”."
Next Battlefield game will have “connected” multiplayer and single-player offerings, made by series’ biggest team yet
“Our teams have listened to the community [and] learned valuable lessons,” says EA CEO who couldn’t pass the Voight-Kampff test if he tried.
It will be a "reimagining" what ever that means lol So I don't know if the mean remaking BF1942 or some other BF, or making a BF back with its root design concept, who knows.
BF1 -cried woke cause its cover and um "hisToRy"
BFV - cried woke cause a prosthetic arm (nevermind that this shit literally existed in WWII)
Most of the shit people were complaining about was in a single player mode the vast majority of real BF fans don't even fucking play...
I'm more concerned about servers working or not, scoreboards actually being in the game day 1, classes making sense etc. I love Portal and none of that shit makes any type of sense to have a WWII map with all different types of future weapons, if you have not guessed it by the actual sales of this IP, most are not buying this shit for a history lesson.
Thought some of you would have learned that when you cried about BF1's cover only to then have it go on to be the best selling BF in history.
Its almost as if most are there to play a game and not a PBS special =)

, I forgot about you. The human ostrich. Head perpetually buried in the sand. You dare blame me for 'bringing this culture war shit' into the Battlefield conversation? That's on activists at DICE. You are a fool to believe that the pursuit of the mythical 'modern audience' wasn't primarily to blame for the downfall of the franchise. BF1 having great sales is the point, the series was on a high. Fans were ambushed with this historical revisionism starting with BF1 then recoiled in abject horror at a mere glimpse of BF5. Tell me, which demographics do you believe primarily constitute the fanbase of the Battlefield franchise? It shouldn't upset you to say it out load. I have an idea, lets test the theories. Does a Battlefield game designed to appeal to the modern audience sell better than a Battlefield game designed to appeal to the largest target demographic i.e. straight men. Good news, the results are in.... it turns out that games designed to appeal to the audience that will actually spend money on them sells more and has higher player retention. What a shock, are you feeling ok?
They had already started with these skins ideas in BFV. They had "Elites" in the same way that Siege does them. They even had a burning outfit similar to the above.They constantly fuck up this franchise. Everyone was really enthused about 2042 after that hype trailer then the beta dropped with the specialist shite.
Every new year isn't a new Battlefield, it's a completely different game where old mechanics are thrown out and new ones tested. We will lose specialists next. God knows what the next big idea is.
I think this is already confirmed tbh. Don't even know how that works when BF is known for its vehicles and their ability to dominate a battlefield.
Zampella has a lot of credibility but a lot of weight on those shoulders. I think the big issue is that they haven't figured a way to monetise it properly yet. They are looking at cod and trying to emulate their revenue.
Spliting the community is always a bad idea with premium passes. No one really likes blue faces, sequin wearing purple haired cosmetics that yearns for a traditional battlefield game. They need to go back and focus on SPECACT style skins if they're doing that:
Instead of
And
That's not to say every skin is like those above, the mastery skins are actually ok, but even some of them look like evil power rangers and it creates a disconnect between the core BF players and the ones they are trying to woo. Which makes a halfway house no one really likes.
No body wants gunplay from BF1 lmao.
