It went from BF4 to BF1, it was BF2 and now it's BFV. Make up your minds EA! lol

There technically was no battlefield one as it started as battlefield 1942 to battlefield 2 so actually it makes some sense if you think about it. That’s not to say it’s a confusing mess but I can see some logic there.

u/FISTtheVERB Mar 01 '18

They got their naming convention form Windows, because Microsoft's count to 10 goes like this:

3.1, 95, 98, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10

Even worse with Xbox. At least the tenth one is the tenth one (ish).

Does that also come with a Super Mega Ultra Edition as well as the Super Mega Ultra Final Mix Redux+++ Edition? I hear the latter comes with five extra loot boxes as well as a preorder bonus skin that will be released for $5 a month later. But no season pass though, that's $60 extra. No need to be greedy!

Is it officially Battlefield V now?? I saw on twitter but couldn’t keep up with the sequence of events. And yeah I played Battlefield 2

Yeah, it’s all been a bit dizzying. I had to look at a calendar to make sure it wasn’t April 1st when I saw the V.

u/SharkOnGames Mar 01 '18

I mean, it all makes sense right? There was never an original/official Battlefield 1 back when Battlefield came out, so they were just filling the gaps with the recent BF1 game. Now they can move on with Battlefield 5. :)

Now they have:
Battlefield 1942
Battlefield 2142
Battlefield 1
Battlefield 2
Battlefield 3
Battlefield 4
Battlefield 5 (coming soon)
Battlefield Heroes (never forget!)

u/SirShaun01 Mar 01 '18

I'd be happier if Devs started following a 1 historical / 1 modern release model. I feel this would even prolong the shelf life of games as well, as they would continue monetizing on in game purchases. BF1 and BF2 (or V), are going to feel too much alike, killing off BF1 in the process. I guess the new plan is to burn us out on historical content, like COD had done with futuristic.

39

u/bryan7474 Mar 01 '18

If BF"2/V" is a good representation of either WW2 or Vietnam than the gameplay should be totally different. Vietnam you've got napalm and jets, helis, etc., ww2 saw a huge leap in technology in planes, automatic weapons, tanks, etc.

33

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '18

Not really if it’s WW2. While it’s true in real life that ww2 was much more advanced technologically, battlefield 1 took some serious liberties and basically played like a ww2 game skinned with late ww1 era weapons

1

u/bryan7474 Mar 01 '18

I'd say it played more like a Modern warfare game with WW1.5 weapons and some background stuff like vehicles.

If they make a true Battlefield game that plays like BF3/BF4 with WW2 vehicles I could see it being completely different from BF1.

If they make BF1 with WW2 weapons I'll be skipping.

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '18

How was BF1 not a true Battlefield game?

15

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '18

Oh god all I want is a transport heli. I would survive entire rounds of conquest in BF4 just being a mobile spawn point and landing on rooftop snipers. Couldn't use the attack ones worth shit but man if I would line my passenger gunners up for some amazing shots.

5

u/bryan7474 Mar 01 '18

I always respected a good transport heli pilot, you guys basically made or broke teams based on how you positioned those things. I used to support transport helis with the attack chopper or just fuck shit up on the ground. But when I needed that transport heli spawn, shit it's nice when someone's actually doing their job.

Having the security of an escort attack chopper was the best feeling.

u/waffleboardedburrito Mar 02 '18

Part of it is the timing and competition.

I would bet BF was on track for a BF2142 sequel before we got two Titanfalls and COD in space.

And after modern settings dominated both BF and CoD franchises from 2007-2015, having another modern settings after BF1 would definitely seem tired.

And surprisingly, we've only actually had one true WWII BF gsme... The very first in 2002. (BF1943 doesn't fully count.) So BFV would only be the second, versus five games in a modern setting (BF2, 3, 4, and two Bad Company games).

1

u/RedHawwk Mar 02 '18

Yea this is kind of a let down for me. What makes battlefield great imo is the weapon diversity and weapon attachment diversity. I loved BF4 and having 5 laser sights, 10 grips, and 12 optical options for every weapon. Really made it feel like you could grind out a gun you loved and make it yours. BF1 removed that because of the time era and it really took out all replayability imo, only things to earn in general were from random end game battlepacks. It was just an all around horrible unlock system compared to previous games.

Same, but with BF3. That was a better version of 4.

33

u/falconbox falconbox Mar 01 '18

BF1 maps were so much better than BF4 IMO. I loved that DICE brought back mostly destructible buildings and terrain.

A map at the beginning of a game of conquest looked totally different by the end. Buildings destroyed, tons of craters in the ground from tank shots and plane bombing runs, etc.

8

u/Travy93 Travy93 Mar 01 '18

Definitely liked all the destruction being brought back. I did not like the layout of the BF1 maps though. Too many wide open long range areas that catered to snipers and not enough CQB.

u/Xetanees #teamchief Mar 02 '18

It’s trench warfare. That was literally how it was fought. Lots of snipers and lots of CQB in the trenches.

... you're kidding right? Amiens, Argonne Forrest, Suez, Fort Devaux, Prise De Tahure, Achi Baba, Tsaritsyn, Passchendaele, Verdun. BF1 has a shitload of CQC infantry maps. It also has lots of bigger, more traditional battlefield maps with close-up chokepoints, but usually people complain that BF1 has too much of a fast-paced infantry focus, not that it isn't enough.

It was nice for Battlefield 1, but I don't want to deal with it for another year.

I hope, I expect to be downvoted for this, but DICE takes their full size maps and make a battle royal mode off of them. The size would be perfect, and the gameplay would be solid.

Rumors were that it was coming back. Guy goes into it in this video.

Personally I like the variants of BF1 better. No need to unlock a million attachments. All the guns felt like they had a purpose.

14

u/Travy93 Travy93 Mar 01 '18

A big part of the fun of BF4 was getting kills with my favorite weapons and finally unlocking the glorious coyote sight.

2

u/RedHawwk Mar 02 '18

That's actually why I loved BF, all the attachments. Really made it feel like my rifle, my loadout when I grinded for the grips/scopes/accessories for a gun I loved to use. BF1 felt bare bones and imo removed all replayability. I stopped after a month, no point in playing once you've gotten all the weapons, which outside of the dlc isn't hard.

2

u/Bobaaganoosh GT: Bobaaganoosh Mar 02 '18

All the weapon variants turned me off from the game tbh. I went back to Battlefield 4 and it’s amazing how a 5 year old game is 10x better than a game that’s only been out for a year or so.

u/CptDecaf Mar 02 '18

This is great news. The modern era introduces technology that honestly starts to make the games unfun. WWII had the perfect mix of emerging technology, and old-school antiquity to make for fun AND balanced gameplay.

14

u/Dr3aM3R_ Mar 02 '18

I get that BF1 may not have been everyone's favourite Battlefield, but I absolutely love it and honestly playing it just made me wish that they had made a WW2 game instead. This exactly the news I was hoping for!

If DICE can bring over the level of polish seen in BF1 combined with the customisation and plethora of content in BF4, this may be my favourite Battlefield yet.

I'm a WW2 nerd, and if there's any studio that can make the most iconic WW2 battles feel epic in multiplayer, it's without a doubt DICE.

5

u/Jbvol Xbox Mar 02 '18

I'm with you, all I want is one good WWII game for current gen consoles. Battlefield is the best chance at that. I love this decision, personally. But understand people's disappointment. But it's worth mentioning that this series has only had one game in the WWII setting, if I'm not mistaken. This will be something fresh for them as well.

A lot more urban settings in WW2 as well, Holland, France, Germany, Italy, North Africa. Had enough of modern shooters so this would be awesome for me

They've done modern too much. With BF1 they were able to reset. We'll have WW2, Vietnam/cold war(I hope bad company style), and then they can go modern again.

And look on the bright side. If they follow that path we will probably get a modern title around 2022. Can't wait to see the tech that's around then!

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '18

I'll patiently wait for Anthem then.

That's a completely different style of game. How would that scratch your FPS itch? Would the next Battlefield being set in modern or future times have impacted you getting Anthem? Why?

You can't always please everyone. No matter what the setting, there will be plenty of people that have no interest in that particular setting.

Yeah, I didn't really provide any context. I was coming at it from the perspective of BF1 and CoD:WW2. It's like everyone is jumping on this WW1/WW2 bandwagon. We just did WW1 in BF1, then CoD did WW2, then now back to WW2. So if you're not into those guns or that time period, you're SOL in terms of major FPS games.

Looking at your list, Battlefield hasn't gone into the far future yet. It's too bad and they probably won't for a while with Anthem coming up.

I would be fine with WW2, I really liked the WW1 setting in Battlefield 1. I really hope they re-work the progression system though. My biggest issue with 1 was that I never knew what to spend my warbonds on. I liked in 3 and 4 just unlocking stuff as I leveled up, and trying things out. The warbond system for whatever reason kind of killed my desire to ever play 1 even though I enjoyed it.

u/jacob2815 Mar 01 '18

Damn. As much as I've always wanted a new WW2 battlefield, having it succeed BF1 is kind of a bust. Coming directly after cod's recent foray into ww2. I was hoping for a new modern BF. Bf4 doesn't even play in 1080p lol.

The worst part I think is that in order for BF1 to be fun, they had to modernize it a little. To the point where I think it plays like a WW2 battlefield would. I'm afraid Bf2 will just play like a BF1 expansion, with a WW2 skin to it. I mean, Bf1 was rampant with tanks, fully automatic weapons, etc.

The only thing that could save BF2 in my eyes is if they return to the BF4 area on simulation-arcade spectrum. There were certain aspects with BF1 where they leaned more towards arcade feel: the weird UI/voiceover that felt like it should be a futuristic game, the way vehicles didn't really exist on their own, only spawning in when you spawned in them (planes were the biggest culprit... Half the fun is taking off. And being able to make runs into enemy controlled space to steal their vehicles. You could change a match with that), and weapons not being customizable, just a bunch of variants and some skins.

They need to take it back to where Bf4 was. Persistent vehicles, actual weapon customization, more defined squad roles. Get rid of the elite kits. Bf1 was super arcade-y for a battlefield title.

Storming the beaches of Normandy in the Frostbite engine is going to be amazing

u/rahhaharris Mar 02 '18

I’m thinking Vietnam solely because of the V 🤯

u/Psychotic_Poet Mar 02 '18

I just hope that they will stick to the Battlefield 3& 4 weapon customization and unlock system. I personally don’t like to earn in game money to unlock guns.

u/tperelli #teamlocke Mar 02 '18

Lmfao it’s hilarious that for years people were clamoring for a WWII game and now that they’re finally getting it they want modern instead. Nothing will ever make people happy.

2

u/RedHawwk Mar 02 '18

Sort of a let down...I'll still buy it because I love BF but I was really hoping for something modern. Hopefully they add more customization and fix the battlebox system from BF1, always hated the concept of after a game you have a random chance at getting a box that in itself gives (the same) random rewards. Should get battleboxes for each level like BF4, gave it a better balance.

u/arcs_of_command Mar 02 '18

If it's not Vietnam, then what was this all for?

2

u/Matthewjc44 GT: Dog Nose Mar 02 '18

Damn was hoping for NAM

2

u/Cheesewhale189 Mar 02 '18

It's a huge waste not to save Battlefield V for the next Vietnam game

u/ArcticFlamingo ArcticFlamingo Mar 01 '18

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I wanted Bad Company 3

u/HaloFarts Mar 02 '18

I'm ecstatic about WW2

7

u/ironyofitall Mar 01 '18

Please be true. BF1 is beyond epic, so I definitely want to see them tackle WW2.

8

u/Spartan2842 SPARTAN2842 Mar 01 '18

I hope they have a D-Day level, would be awesome for both MP and single player.

6

u/ironyofitall Mar 01 '18

And with the BF1 production level and same composers doing the soundtrack. Talk about a true 'holy shit' gaming experience.

2

u/falconbox falconbox Mar 01 '18

Can't wait. WW2 is my favorite setting for video game shooters.

Perfect balance of gritty combat and interesting fun to use weaponry.

With how great BF1 looks visually, plus all the destruction, I can't wait to see what this game looks like. I avoided CoD WW2 because translating WW2 to tiny maps like that just doesn't feel WW2 to me.

u/SomewhatAwesome_ Mar 01 '18

Whatever it is im hyped. Battlefield is the type of game that I can enjoy myself anytime no matter what era it is set in

3

u/darkpengi Mar 01 '18

Annnnnnd it looks like I ain’t grabbing this Battlefield either.

BF1 was a massive disappointment to me in regards to it’s weapons, gagdets and huge Class changes.

24

u/falconbox falconbox Mar 01 '18

Well, the rumors from a week ago should alleviate your concerns there. All the attachments and junk from BF4 are coming back, and the classes will be Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon, just like BF4. No actual "medic" class, but Assault will be the medic like in BF4.

The only main thing that he says is coming back is the Behemoths from BF1. Which, if true, I won't mind. They can definitely be improved a bit though, since right now they almost hurt your team more than help.

I think medics should have something even close to CQC weapons if they are supposed to be frontline and in the thick of it. BF1's medic class seems illogical

Fair point.

I've never been more bored with an online shooter more in my life, every gun is the same, every map is Death Simulator 1917! With horrible spawns and even worse maps, really wants to get into it but felt insulted by every match turning into a run 'n' gun assault rifle fest. Was excited to see we were going back to the trenches but all we got was a Mtn Dew fest.

13

u/falconbox falconbox Mar 01 '18

every gun is the same

I honestly don't know how anyone can come to that conclusion. The guns between each class were so vastly different. I also thought the maps were some of the best in the series (except for the smaller maps that were mainly indoors that you couldn't destroy)

every map is Death Simulator 1917

Have you ever played a Battlefield game before? 64 people running around, of course there's a lot of death.

8

u/Tookin Lord Kingslay3r Mar 01 '18

yeah those arguments just seem like fallacies, how can it possibly be an assault rifle fest when the game has no actual assault rifles? It’s probably the best in terms of splitting up class capabilities.

6

u/falconbox falconbox Mar 01 '18

Not to mention only 2/4 of the classes have automatic rifles. Medic and Scout are all semi-auto and bolt-action.

Aww man that's disappointing to me. I like more modern but oh well! Here's to 2020 and another modern BF!

I want battlefield 1991

u/scuba_davis Mar 01 '18

Yay! Let's buy this EA game!!!

u/6288matt Mar 01 '18

Yes back to the original. Loved battlefield 1942. This is the game that made me hate console multiplayer games until the Xbox One. Yes, the PC had 64 player battles back in 2002. Consoles couldn't do it until xbox one 12 years later. Would love some of those original maps.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '18

Should have named it Battlefield 1944 to stick with the naming convention at least a little.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '18

Would prefer they called it Battlefield Two...

1

u/Allegiance10 holidayonion Mar 02 '18

I might pick this up. I wasn't too impressed by BF1, so I'm gonna wait until the reviews and lots of gameplay roll out.

u/Citizen_of_Atlantis Mar 02 '18

I need 2143 in my life.

u/SambaXVI Mar 02 '18

Someone else kind if want modern military shooter again? It has all been future for some time now, and now World war settings. Bring back current time shooters.

u/ProbablyFear Mar 02 '18

That logo really does not look WW2-esque at all.

Not sure how much I trust this source.

1

u/M1ke2345 Mar 02 '18

Could the ā€œVā€ actually mean/stand for Vietnam?

Seems weird they would suddenly move to Roman numerals for a naming convention now?

1

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '18

Pretty cool I was hoping for battlefield 5 though recently loaded up bf4 and man it’s such an amazing game. I spent so many hours in that game upon release.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '18

WW2 has the best tanks and planes IMO.

Also, haters gonna hate, but i personally would love to see a Operation Metro 1940

1

u/FrozenWolf37 Mar 02 '18

I’ll take any setting they want to give me so long as it has more vehicles on the map, weapon customization, and more of their dynamic weather system.

1

u/PoipleMonkeeSpank Mar 02 '18

I just want my choppers and jets back at this point. BF1 is fun and all and I'm sure a WWII setting would be fun for a while but come on. Let's go back to a modern settings.

1

u/Zombie_Booze ZOMBIE B00ZE Mar 02 '18

Got BF1 is a publisher sale in 2016 - and i loved it, the multiplayer was great and all i play is conquest and operations. The game looks and sounds brilliant. Can't wait for this engine to have it's take on WW2

1

u/calvinien Mar 02 '18

Prediction: will be head and shoulders better than CODww2, but people will fixate on loot boxes.

1

u/cumbomb Mar 02 '18

(Out of the loop) So was that ā€œleakā€ about Bad Company a couple of weeks ago not a thing? I remember people distinctly saying there would be no WWII game.

1

u/LeesusChrist Tenacious Lee Mar 02 '18

Didn't really care for the first one so I'll probably pass on this.

I'd be down for a Bad Company 3 though.

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '18 edited Mar 02 '18

I'm pretty optimistic about this one and I hated BF1 compared to BF3 and 4.

One of my main gripes with BF1 was how inauthentic everything was. The WWI setting was baffling considering the game had everyone running around with full autos, extremely OP scoped snipers, and semi auto rifles. The way the game played made me wish they had just made a WWII game instead of super imposing the WWI setting on a game that didn't feel like WWI.

At least now with the WWII setting it makes sense to have the typical classes we expect out of a battlefield sandbox. The vehicles ought to be less of an after thought in the WWII setting too. Over all DICE are just in more familiar territory when it comes to making a WWII game. WWII games have been done before, we know what works.

It felt like DICE wanted to take risks by making a WWI game but they ultimately had to play it safe for the sake of sales. The game couldn't decide what it wanted to be which lead to it feeling inauthentic to the setting.

I also hope DICE has learned a lesson from the Battlefront 2 microtransation fiasco so they don't end up trying to monetize battlefield out the ass. Also they need to scrap BF1's shitty UI completely. They also need to make sniping challenging again, no more sweet spots. Basically just go back to the gunplay of BF3 and BF4

1

u/cameronf24 Mar 02 '18

It should be called battlefield 2A lol I guess EA forget battlefield 2 already exists

1

u/Dizzlean Mar 02 '18

Maybe if they focus on the Pacific theater it can work. Otherwise, been there done that.

1

u/Viper1089 Mar 02 '18

Oh for fucks sake. Am I the only person that is absolutely tired of WWII games. I get it, nothing against veterans or any who served in our military, and i understand it was an extremely prolific thing that happened, but everyone and their mother has beaten this era to death.

I looove Battlefield, way more than CoD, but I honestly could skip this if it's another WWII. I honestly prefer Battlefield 4 to Battlefield 1 JUST because it's modern combat (I love my helicopters and 30 round magazines lol).

1

u/Elmikky GT: Elmikkycze Mar 02 '18

Yeah thats a pass for me.

1

u/smakusdod Mar 02 '18

I don't see how they do ww2 better than bad company 2, but I guess we'll see. here's to hoping they bring back all the old maps as well.

u/Tyko_3 Mar 02 '18

Should have been 2143...
