    Why are they reimagining anything? Hasn’t BattleBit proven that what Battlefield really needs is to go back to its roots? Just make Bad Company 3!

      Lol came to say this, fucking battlebit is the next battlefield…and it fucks hard.

      I am terrible at the game, like .3 k/d but I love it so much since it reminds me of bf1942

    Battlebit has been scratching this itch really well for me lately. I hope the battlefield series can make a return to form but I am not holding my breath. Shooters tend to change with the times (imagine if all games still played like the original DOOM?) and I imagine they’re going to keep changing things, but hopefully for the better.

    It’s interesting to compare Battlefield vs. Call of Duty and how the games have done in the past decade. COD is still a top seller and is doing great, Battlefield not so much. I feel like they both have iterated in ways (the newer COD games are similar to the ones I played in the early ~2010’s, but there have been some changes), but the ways COD has iterated have been better accepted. They even had a Battle Royale attached to the game (It sounds like BF was trying to do this at one point) and it was positively received as well.

    Honestly i feel like if they would have just kept updating battlefield 4 with new maps and content I would have just stuck with that.

    Multiplayer gaming has been in a rough state the past while

      Yeah I was a diehard Battlefield fan starting from Bad Company 2. I logged thousands of hours between that and BF3/4/1. BF5 was quite boring and my playtime tapered off drastically. By 2142, I’d purchased the game but have only played maybe 20 minutes of it.

      I don’t think it’s solely on Dice as I don’t play many games at all now (only Horizon Forbidden West and now Elder Scrolls), but they surely haven’t given me a reason to choose their game over any other.

      I really didn’t care for stuff like Battle Royal and it seems like they really changed what the game is starting with BF1. It feels more like an arcade game than something you can really build skills with now. Gone are the crazy things like parachuting out of a jet and blowing up a chopper with a stinger missile and it really bugged me that there were no choppers due to the WWI setting of BF1.

        BC2 is a great game but I think it’s funny you say the game got more arcade

        They said the same thing about bad company simplifying battlefield to play on consoles.

        but I do think they should have leaned more on destruction, environments and strategy

    The reason nobody liked 2042 was because it shook things up to much. If they were going back to their roots I might be hyped.

      Big boss made a good video on this. Problems mostly came from the fact that the original team left and that EA made a game based on what competition was doing (battle Royal, battlepass and so on). And I’m not talking about the optimization.

      I’m putting a YT link hoping a good bot will tunnel it

        Obligatory “Fuck EA”. But as long as people don’t learn and continue to buy it, as long EA will exist and continue to feed you all shit. So gobble up, fuckers!

    only reimagination dice seems to do these days is trying to find ways to monetise instead of making a fun game

    see: their battle royale fail, 6v6 mode they wasted time on that didnt even release, heroes in 2042, battle passes

    Can’t even remember the last time I’ve played an EA game. Their games are just not great. Same with Ubisoft. I think studios just get too big to make anything decent after a certain point.

    “including a single-player campaign from Halo veteran Marcus Lehto’s new studio. A multiplayer experience is also on the way from DICE.”

    Thats news to me. Thats going to be weird.

    Reimagining…well you rebrand the solution and and if that fails rebrand the solution
