    back to basics

    Boy, haven’t we heard this one before?

    Oh, before Battlefield V. And then again before 2042. Not sparking a whole lot of confidence.

    The best thing they could do is trash their current engine and just open the source for Battlefield 4. Swap out the graphics renderer with a newer one and make minor adjustments to the rest of the source code. BF4 was nearly perfect on a mechanical level, bugs not withstanding. If they get the bugs ironed out there is no reason I would see for them to have to make changes to the framework of the game, and then they can do what EA has been doing with their sports games for forever. Easy money AND the players are happy.
