Having sold eight million copies in its first month, and scoring 89% on Metacritic for its PC version, Battlefield 3 was one of the most popular games in the series and helped push the series into the mainstream even more as a legit competitor against Call of Duty . Battlefield 4 continued that, also embracing the same modern setting, and both games remain arguably the most favored in the series. As for the BF3 remaster rumors, that seems odd and inexplicable at this point to re-release a modern set game alongside a new modern set game, splitting a player base they so desperately need to keep large to support large player cou
Once Battlefield is back on the map again and Call of Duty doesn’t lose steam, that once ubiquitous debate could make its return. Call of Duty will need to find another way to reinvent the wheel like its done countless times before. Assuming these two fall in line and each game sees its own unique success, fans will be happy to engage in this discussion ag
Then the Modern Warfare reboot implemented Gunsmith , which leveraged its perk systems with an obscene level of weapon customization. Players could choose up to five different attachments from a selection of nine categories, ranging from weapon muzzles to ammo capacities. The freedom in choice is massive, allowing for various builds on weapons that would either be invalidated or at least considered weaker in previous Call of Duty games. Loosening the attachment restrictions has lead to a wealth of variety in weapon choice and customizat
Fans were recently fooled by Battlefield 6 teasers that turned out to be a hoax . A series of cryptic videos were posted online that seemed to hint at the next entry in the series, but after several days of teasing, it was revealed that the videos were entirely fan-made. Players were desperate for an official announcement regarding the next Battlefield game and took the bait from the fan, so this official bit of news on a Holiday 2021 launch window should help the tricked fans c
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
With DICE supposedly having “crazy ambitious ideas” planned for Battlefield 6 , Wilson’s talk of unprecedented scale and the power of next-gen consoles seems fitting. These remarks accompanied the game’s release window, however, which sees the next Battlefield project lined up for a release during the 2021 Holiday season. While this may be a good bit away, having a general idea of when the next game will be releasing should be comforting for Battlefield f
In a game like Battlefield , Gunsmith almost makes more sense to include than in Modern Warfare . Weapon balance in Battlefield has been spotty at times, but the expanded weapon customization introduced in Battlefield 3 compensated for that in a big way. If anything, expanding the systems that were introduced in Battlefield 3 and 4 into a Gunsmith-like system could help differentiate teammates/opponents from each other. Since every player picks one of four soldier classes, there’d be a lot of overlap between players’ choice of weapon and equipment. Classes were constraining to a specific gameplay style, like how engineers were almost strictly close-range fighters with S
An insider claims that the next **Battlefield ** game, published by EA , will be returning the series to a present day setting and no one is surprised. The last two main games, Battlefield 1 and Battlefield V embraced period settings of World War 1 and World War 2, respectiv
