For Battlefield to reignite the “who’s better” arguments from its past, the franchise will need to seriously focus on what used to be the game’s signature identity. Destructible environments have been a staple in Battlefield thanks to the graphically impressive physics in the Frostbite engine. It’s never been taken out of the game per se, but with each new release the destruction has been taken out of the spotlight. Destruction was huge for Bad Company and Bad Company 2 because it was both free-flowing and integral to the map design. Battlefield 3 introduced “Levolution” to try and mix up the mechanic, but in turn made destruction much more linear and predictable. Reinventing a more unpredictable destruction system would be the perfect way to bring back classic Battlefield in a brand new fo
The next Battlefield game may have some stiff competition in the future, especially with Battlefield 5 ‘s support ending this summer . There are a few key areas that DICE and EA could explore and change to bring the series back, hopefully bringing back a time where the ” Call of Duty vs. Battlefield ” arguments return. Until then, fans will have to see what’s in store for Battlefield 6 in the fut
One thing recently that Battlefield games have started to stray away from was the nature of simulation. Call of Duty , no matter how close it’s gotten to realism, has always embodied what an arcade shooter experience is like . Modern Warfare made great strides towards realism, especially with its campaign, but it never truly gets there on purpose. Battlefield on the other hand took the gritty simulatory approach very seriously, as evidenced by Battlefield 3 and 4 . But DICE did curb that notion with Battlefield 1 quite well, taking plenty of creative liberties in its portrayal of World Wa
Wilson said in his opening remarks that the success of many games including Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order , Apex Legends (which is moving forward with a mobile release ), Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville , and titles out of EA Sports have positioned the company to continue growing and expanding into Asia. With particular credit given to Fallen Order and Apex Legends , EA has “generated record operating cash flow,” a net revenue of $1.593 billion, over the last year according to Jorgen
Since its inception in 2002 with Battlefield 1942 for PC and Mac, the Battlefield franchise has enraptured fans with each iteration. From World War II to more modern settings and even a one-off title set in the future (Battlefield 2142 – 2006), the series has been a staple in the first-person shooter genre. For better or worse, each Battlefield title is one of the most popular games to release in its launch year, with gamers rushing to get their hands on the next installment to engage in some massive gunfights with other players. However, what many fans want is a Battlefield: Bad Company 3, as it has been 10 years since Bad Company 2’s release, and the only information released regarding a continuation of that series has been speculative at b
DICE’s popular first-person shooter franchise will soon be returning in 2021 with the release of **Battlefield 2042 Specialist Guide|https://battlefield2042pedia.com/ 6 ** . The developer already announced that the content update for Battlefield 5 scheduled in June will be the last of its kind for the popular World War II shooter that has been making waves since its release in November 2018. Over its nearly two years of massive multiplayer battles, the game has maintained a large, dedicated following, with the largest game modes still becoming quickly popula
For all the great success that Battlefield 1 brought to EA’s flagship shooter, Battlefield 5 failed to capitalize on that momentum. As for Call of Duty , Black Ops 4 still performed considerably well and now Modern Warfare and Warzone are even better. To many this debate has been put on hold, but Battlefield has made a resurgence from a poor title before. Both series are poised for their next entries over the course of this next year of releases, meaning this debate could come b
2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare made an interesting change to class customization called Gunsmith, allowing greater customization of weapons and attachments . While Gunsmith was completely new for attachments in Call of Duty , it was very reminiscent of the loadout customization system introduced in Battlefield 3 and expanded in subsequent entries. Integrating that much weapon customization was a first for the time, considering most Call of Duty games stopped at one attachment per gun unless players used something like the Bling perk. But where Battlefield distinguishes itself from Call of Duty in regards to weapons are the clas
Electronic Arts is planning to release the next installment of its first-person shooter franchise Battlefield on next-generation consoles in the 2022 fiscal year according to EA’s Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen. The confirmation comes in prepared remarks from EA’s 2020 third quarter fiscal earnings call by Jorgensen, Chief Executive Officer Andrew Wilson, and Vice President of Investor Relations Chris Evendan that were released Thurs
