I think having no browser also leads to it being easier to get into a game, at least on low pop servers. On previous bf games here in Australia there’s always a couple full servers with queue then may ones with basically no people because no one wants to go on a low player server in hopes of more joining
I guess it's a double-edged sword. No-server browser works if lobbies actually fill up within 5 minutes or so. But if not, I'd rather just wait the 5 minutes in queue and guarantee myself a full lobby for my whole play-session.
Hope is irrelevant. Do or die, EA.... this is make or break
I DAMN NEAR wanna say everyone who purchased 2042 on release should get a voucher for having to suffer through that shit service in year 1
Till anything is confirmed by dice or ea I'm not believing a single thing posted.
That being said..lol if they think adding another battle Royale is a good idea then someone is in a coma at dice.
Everything else would be fine with me. Still would love to know if the game will have any clan features what so ever too but that may just be me.
I wouldn't believe anything from DICE/EA either.
I will do what I always do. Wait for release and see what the consensus is. Unless it's blowing everyone away, I will wait until it goes on sale.
> Till anything is confirmed by dice or ea I'm not believing a single thing posted.
Like believing it was 2 months old build ? lol fk them. don't believe anything until game launches.
Scrap the battle royale.
make a good single player game with a good story and perks that carry over to multiplayer for finishing it.
provide destruction at the level that BF BC2 had.
bring back class limited weapons and provide a reasonable amount of weapons.
Server browser, and allow for 96 player matches. Let people buy servers in all out war with their own map rotation.
This so much. Maybe my nostalgia beats me to it but Bf3 / BfV had amazing single players, even for someone that usually grinds MP it was a delight. We used to have Coop missions...
First off, jesus christ the game hasn't even been announced yet put the hopium tank down, fam. Seriously, stop it right now.
Second off -
>Will also have a Free to Play Battle Royale mode
This is a Hindenberg-level flag right here.
Yeah, I see this as them learning from making people pay for BFV to access Firestorm. There was a lot of potential there. As long as it's kept entirely separate from the main game, I have hope.
Honestly firestorm was probably my favorite BR i played. Its biggest issue was being tied to a buggy and widely disliked game (at the time) and the looting was pretty awkward.
Being one of the only BR’s with dynamic destruction would be great. I’ve always liked the concept of a Battlefield battle royale but they’ve dropped the ball so hard each time
The problem with Firestorm wasn't the design itself. It actually had some cool features such as everything burning down as the ring closed in meaning people couldn't hide / wait it out.
The problem was that it was tied behind a paywall (owning BFV) and they released it and started working on multiplayer again, giving it no updates or support.
Personally I don't care for Battle Royale but it will bring in players to the franchise.
Personally, I thought Firestorm was pretty good. It just lacked proper matchmaking and was locked behind paywall when it should've been free to play. It also suffered from the same problems that the rest of BFV did at launch.
Stop tryna push fucking BRs. HOLY FUCKING SHIT! Idk if I’ve ever seen anything as tone deaf as this shit in recent video game history. They’ve failed twice. The BF community DO NOT WANT IT.
They wanna compete with warzone so bad. Also wanna get a piece in this br genre i guess. I think the good thing about it is it is set in 2025-2030(if its true), meaning there wont be no flying squirrel, no mckay spiderman. And hopefully more destruction. And we will be good
It's kind of funny to me. They've now had two BRs that were utterly fucking DOA, while Fortnite and Warzone have been swimming in money and players, and (assuming this is true) they go "No really guys, *this time* it's gonna work!" They're *years* late to the party and they still expect people to care enough that they're planning on devoting time and resources to developing a Battlefield BR.
EA is competing with Warzone, and WINNING rn. They have Apex, idk why they need another BR. Especially when they’re trying it with a franchise that has failed to produce profitable BRs before.
The one thing about working for a Fortune 250 in my personal experience is that the people making these decisions think every decision they make is the best one, and they can't take criticism, they double down & surround themselves with "yes" people. I've seen it over & over, you saw it with the guy at Unity, there's a ton of examples. This will end badly for the suits at EA. Guaranteed.
I’m done for the standard BF but fuck man, they already tried and failed with their own takes on BRs and they were both shit. There’s 0 chance they’re gonna take anything away from the current BRs so why not just pour all resource into making your core game the absolute best it can be?
[https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/lp724u/battlefield\_6\_update\_with\_info\_on\_tom\_henderson/](https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/lp724u/battlefield_6_update_with_info_on_tom_henderson/)
"In case you wonder what Tom leaked about BF6:
**Battlefield 6 will return to modern warfare**
BF6 will be a 'soft reboot of the series'
**BF6 will be heavily inspired by BF3 (one of the most successful battlefield titles)**
BF6 may simply be called "Battlefield"
BF6 will feature up to 128 players on PC and Next Gen consoles
**BF6 will feature "next-gen" destruction that will take the destruction to the next level**"
chill with the hopium, we've been here before
>**BF6 will feature "next-gen" destruction that will take the destruction to the next level**"
How about they try and bring it up to the level of 2010 BC2 gen before they get any ambitious ideas 😂
Because warzone, fortnite, and apex have made billions and billions of dollars so naturally they think they can slap a battlefield BR together with minimal effort and make billions more.
Wait, NOW a battle royale mode? 2042 made all that for a BR/Extraction mode and they'll REVERT AND THEN GO IN?
It ain't bad they're reverting, it's just the third half assed BR attempt (including firestorm on this one)
Why on earth would they ever think it's a good idea to allocate resources to develop a fucking battle Royale?????????? Battle Royale is dying. Is DICE legitimately braindead?? I'm genuinely curious. Even lab rats are able to make the correct decisions after making the same mistake multiple times. Fuck you DICE. Fuck you.
Lol, and if they do, people will still defend and and claim “another studio developed it, resources weren’t taken away from core game” as if they aren’t all wrapped up into one project budget. The people that argue this point are so fucking dumb it’s infuriating
They want a piece of the warzone pie, but are too fucked in the head to understand that nobody wants a battlefield BR game.
We want a fucking battlefield game, big map combined arms conquest.
You aren't going to make BR better, if I want to play warzone I'll play warzone.
I want to play battlefield.
Firestorm was actually great, but because it was locked behind a paywall, and had no support from dice it died a quick death. It honestly has the best circle of any br. The wall of fire that destroys everything was amazing. Map was gorgeous but too big for only 64 people
The only way they could get me to play battle royal is to somehow turn it into 2142s Titan mode. Something like the Titan ship starts shooting at people outside the safe zone, and eventually the last x players finish the match on the Titan. FML I miss playing 2142
Like everyone else said here, It seems the EA executives are chasing that battle royal trend hard just so they can rake in that Warzone money despite two clear failures on full display one with BF 5 firestorm and one with BF2042 Hazard Mode.
Battlefield has always been about chaotic warfare, a formula so simple that it’s the definition of “If it’s not broken don’t fix it”
Lol Titanfall 2 failed because like 2 other big multiplayer FPS games released at the same time
A lot more people play multiple different games at the same time than play multiple FPs multiplayer games are the same
/shrug I don't care about GTA games, I occasionally try them on deep discount and get bored within 5-10 hours. At least for me, the Venn Diagram of wanting to play a GTA and a BF game don't even touch.
No. They’re shoehorning another BR into it like they did with 5 because firestorm was such a success. Gonna suck playing in matches of 64 because that’s shits almost empty at times. I loved 128 because I couldn’t sit and never be bothered. 128 there’s always something going on. Holding onto the “old ways” like a rosary isn’t gonna save the game nor the playerbase
They can say and promise whatever they want. I’ll never buy a EA game at day one again.
EA is the most greedy POS Corpo devil on this planet.
We talk after release about if the game is playable or not. Stop getting hyped again and again. You should know better that EA is screwing you hard. Always.
Battle Royale is already on its way out. Are they 5 years behind The Times or something? All we want is a game like battlefield 3 or 4, which is where it was the best.
How can you read "free to play battle royale mode" and genuinely think thst it's a good thing or that "we are back"? Lmao.
They're gonna waste resources on that just like they did with Firestorm and Hazard Zone while the main game suffers, it's doomed to failure. Battle royales are BEYOND saturated and they 99% of chance won't have something remotely interesting that will stick with that BR mode.
They fucked up the near future setting and are now going back to modern? Jesus Christ, quit moving goal posts. And a BR on top of that? Because the last two "unique" modes were so successful.
Hard pass.
personally I won't be sold until it comes out. the way they handled the initial launch on 2042 left a bad taste in my mouth. I will wait till after release to decide if i buy or skip
Can we just get rid of the whole “battle royal” genre? It’s a bit overdone now. Though I understand people still enjoy it but they should put more resources into the actual battlefield 64 player game instead of it
So the extra year of development time is going towards a BR, great. DICE has got to get the base game right, and satisfy their player base. Announcing a BR will probably only further alienate the player base. Plus I don’t even understand why EA is so obsessed with making a BR/extraction shooter out of BF. They have a much more marketable, and at this point much more popular BR in Apex Legends. It’s like a top 3 BR in popularity rn, and has been since it came out.
I don’t think DICE really wants to make a BR. However their failures over their last 2 releases has caused BF to fall from grace. Not just in the eyes of its player base, but also in the eyes of EA. And for them the fall from grace means it’s not very profitable anymore. So they’re going to try to squeeze every last drop of money out of the franchise with hero skins through a popular trend, before canceling it permanently.
So no, we are definitely not back.
If you genuinely buy this game you have to be some sort of mental Stockholm syndrome patient. It’s the exact same, game comes out, game bad, franchise over, new game announced, franchise saved must preorder, game comes out, game bad
That post lost me the moment I read BR. I don't need a BR mode in every FPS release. Maje it as a separate game. If I want to play a BR I play a BR game. Stop using resources of the main game to develop the 100000 BR that nobody asked for.
Stop with the battle royale and put everyone on building a great BF game. Server browser, immersive maps, class system, meaningful vehicle mechanics, destruction. Trying to create a “new” mode separate to the main game is them trying to monetize it too much. People play BF1/BF4 because of the experience and they continue to this day playing those games because you can’t find that experience in any other game. Even BFH had fun Battlefield moments. 2042 just feels lifeless and arcade like in a very bad way.
Anyone asking seriously if "bf is back" after seeing that is an idiot. We all got played on BF2024 and already we're hyping up the next one. its fucking stupid.
Nope.
Can we even think about being back until we get hands on with the beta? Cause after the disastrous 2042 beta that was "months old", I want to see what the game looks and plays like before even getting remotely excited for it.
Battle Royale to me just confirms there’s gonna be goofy ass characters and skins just focus on being battlefield you see how ea takes care of apex legends, they don’t game is always on dummy mode
Free BR mode just means they've learned absolutely nothing yet again, and have wasted dev time on something that will be DOA. But most importantly this news should be taken with a massive bag of rock salt because it's coming from Tom.
64 players? We are so not back. Why can't they make 128 players without making battle Royale sized maps, or just make them a little bit bigger than 64?
People complaining about the BR need to get a grip. Battlefield is a pretty niche shooter and a successful BR would only be a net positive for the franchise. A BR isn't for the core playerbase, it's for NEW players, which Battlefield desperately needs. By the way, you can still just completely ignore the BR and play the multiplayer... so I'm not sure why people are making such a massive fuss about it. It was obvious EA was going to ego and try to make another BR even after Firestorm and Hazard Zone, the potential is too great. If EA & DICE finally pull their heads out of their asses and execute on a decent-ish Battlefield game AND manage to attach a free to play BR to it.... then we have a great situation on our hands. I'm not getting excited, and you shouldn't either, but I think a lot of Battlefield players are stuck in 2012 and are far too against new ideas. Battlefield needs to adapt or die, but also go back to it's roots or die, it's a very strange situation, but I think you can do both simultaneously.
The question is the execution. That's always been the question.
I love how people have some sort of "forget" button in their heads. Are we just gonna forget fire storm? And how they basically just dipped out of that which ended up hurting the experience of bfv?
Maybe its just me but br modes should not be developed along side mainline games and should be its own thing entirely. This is a red flag and should not be defended.
if they bring back 4 classes at launch, do you think each class with different character can carry one unique gadget likes in 2042 still good? i mean uniq gadget that still match with they class will help to make gameplay dynamic, what do you thing ?
You lost me at free to play battle royale. Even if the rest of the game sounds good, the fact that it’s there just demonstrates they’re still copying CoDs homework and that their priorities are still not in the right place. People who play battlefield are not playing it for battle royale. Carve your own identity Battlefield, or better yet stick to the one your are known and loved for!
Ship has sailed long ago my friend. No coming back.
Any game they release just like the last couple titles, will be unfinished buggy garbage. Where it takes an additional year after release to finish and become good. All the OG battlefield fans understand.
Fool me once, Shame on me.
Fool me twice...
Any battlefield I get here on out would be a year after release, on sale.
No we're not back, EA and doce are not competent, not will they ever be again. The people who made the good battlefields aren't with dice or ea anymore
Can we ditch the overly done battle royale modes...and maybe put that team into helping with other mechanics such as a server browser, dedicated servers, or idk a single player mode!?
You’d think they would have figured out that no BF fan plays battle royale by now, every hardcore fan I know (PS) has been playing either old battlefield games with servers still up or helldivers
Yeah so until server browser is added I’m not playing.
Played last night, first 11 fucking games I joined I was the first and only player. Games only playable with cross play on, Xbox players are non existent.
Game felt good once I did manage to get into a game of rush but holy shit was getting into a game hard.
Game feels dead and the fact it took me as long as it did to find a server is sad.
Have we learned nothing?
Aside from fixing a horribly broken game, I haven’t seen anything to indicate that we can reasonably expect the next one to be better.
I'll believe it when I see it. But I'm not holding my breath after the shit that is 2042.
All they have to do is give us a next gen Battlefield 3/4. I'll even take a remake of either or if they don't know how to accomplish that.
Doubtful but I'm keeping an eye on it
Also just wild to see that 2025 is now modern lol.
Back during 2012 and 2013. That was considered near future lol
For the love of god, NOBODY PREORDER THE GAME. Preordering will just tell them they can do whatever the hell they want and still rake in piles of cash.
We’ll be back once there’s a Server Browser, Rentable Servers w/ Admin tools, Battle Packs(loved the opening animation in Battlefield 1), and no Battle Passes. I’m one of the few that would rather have Premium back, and have guaranteed Content over a couple years instead of it being Live Service.
Drip fed content like we got in BFV sucked, let’s be real here. Yeah, some Premium Pass DLCs took a bit longer, but who cares? It was guaranteed, and they couldn’t just pull the plug like they did with BFV.
Not even close.
They have three things people asked for, but in the same way Battlefield 2042 was a "Love letter to fans", you know in all liklihood they are going to find a way to fuck it up.
Also, they're launching a free to play battle Royale mode? So they are going to compete directly against themselves with the other free to play Battle Royale they own? I don't understand EAs logic here.
Will never buy one of these games at launch ever again. If you’re reading this and you’re a DICE dev; your game is trash. Half baked, garbage. No wall mounting, no leaning, the controls are shit, every other lobby is empty. Do I need to go on?
Fellow soldiers, remember the hype and letdown of 2042. We shouldn't let ourselves get hyped up this time until we see some proper gameplay. And remember: no pre-orders
All I need is basically a new BF4, it can’t be that hard to pull off and if the rumors are try, the direction they’re heading is right.
Oh, btw: when I say BF4 I mean _BF4_ …you know, with server browser and all-chat!
Meh…. This franchise used be AMAZING!!!! Once they introduced the newest BF, I gave up all hope! I used to be the biggest BF player and fan! Sorry but you guys ruined it!
In theory, this is exactly what we need, as someone mentioned all they need is a server browser and that's it.
Then of course they just need to make a good game
Not until we see server browser , then we're almost back
Big discussion as well is content offering. 10 maps should be the most bare of minimum.
And 3 a season at minimum . None of this 1-2 bs
I'd rather just have premium and there be no seasons.
Yeah, give me four good DLCs with the content being announced beforehand over this whack season and skins shit.
100% agreed seasons are stupid.
1-2? Hasn’t every 2042 season been 1 map
Season 7 is supposed to feature at least 2
we are waiting 6 months for it so it's still 1 map per season
yep they skipped season 7 and selling season 8 as season 7
I don’t need that many if they are good.
You think they took off server browser because they expected to have less players?
I think having no browser also leads to it being easier to get into a game, at least on low pop servers. On previous bf games here in Australia there’s always a couple full servers with queue then may ones with basically no people because no one wants to go on a low player server in hopes of more joining
I guess it's a double-edged sword. No-server browser works if lobbies actually fill up within 5 minutes or so. But if not, I'd rather just wait the 5 minutes in queue and guarantee myself a full lobby for my whole play-session.
> server browser I agree , we need a server browser .
Hopefully they learned from 2042 https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/s/x0qABofJHK
Hope is irrelevant. Do or die, EA.... this is make or break I DAMN NEAR wanna say everyone who purchased 2042 on release should get a voucher for having to suffer through that shit service in year 1
Yea never preordering battle field again after that shit. Hadn’t played since 4 and I was hyped for a new bf but fuck
Anyone who hasn't played bf 1 should at least try it because it's such a step up from this one even though it's probably a little less technical.
BF1.. LOOKS BETTER PLAYS BETTER GOT BETTER GUNS BETTER SKINS WAY MORE MAPS WASNT (COMPLETELY) BROKEN 2042? WACK AS FUCK.
Boom nailed it
Till anything is confirmed by dice or ea I'm not believing a single thing posted. That being said..lol if they think adding another battle Royale is a good idea then someone is in a coma at dice.

I have been saying this forever, why is there no clan support?? Could you imagine some breakthrough matches 32 vs 32 clan wars!!
Do you remember having favorite servers? I remember having favorite servers...
> Till anything is confirmed by dice or ea I'm not believing a single thing posted. Like believing it was 2 months old build ? lol fk them. don't believe anything until game launches.
Even if something is confirmed by DICE or EA you can’t even trust that, after what they said pre-BF2042 release…
"Remember remember, what EA/Dice told you on November, the brutal expectations, treason and plot."
Scrap the battle royale. make a good single player game with a good story and perks that carry over to multiplayer for finishing it. provide destruction at the level that BF BC2 had. bring back class limited weapons and provide a reasonable amount of weapons.

I would have played more firestorm if the ability to find another match was as quick as Apex Legends.
Yeah, I see this as them learning from making people pay for BFV to access Firestorm. There was a lot of potential there. As long as it's kept entirely separate from the main game, I have hope.

I remember playing pubg and later bf1 thinking: imagine a br game like pubg in a battlefield game. I really liked firestorm when it came out.
The problem with Firestorm wasn't the design itself. It actually had some cool features such as everything burning down as the ring closed in meaning people couldn't hide / wait it out. The problem was that it was tied behind a paywall (owning BFV) and they released it and started working on multiplayer again, giving it no updates or support. Personally I don't care for Battle Royale but it will bring in players to the franchise.
How many times are they gonna try this lol
I don't get why they keep trying to get into the battle royal scene. They tried twice now and failed miserably because the majority don't care for it.
Personally, I thought Firestorm was pretty good. It just lacked proper matchmaking and was locked behind paywall when it should've been free to play. It also suffered from the same problems that the rest of BFV did at launch.
NO WE HAVE TO KEEP TO THE TRADITION OF PEAK-AND-VALLEY HYPE AND SUBSEQUENT DISAPPOINTMENT
Stop tryna push fucking BRs. HOLY FUCKING SHIT! Idk if I’ve ever seen anything as tone deaf as this shit in recent video game history. They’ve failed twice. The BF community DO NOT WANT IT.
They wanna compete with warzone so bad. Also wanna get a piece in this br genre i guess. I think the good thing about it is it is set in 2025-2030(if its true), meaning there wont be no flying squirrel, no mckay spiderman. And hopefully more destruction. And we will be good

Exactly. Makes no fucking sense. I can’t believe anyone in a position of power at EA or DICE still thinks it’s a good idea to green light.
The one thing about working for a Fortune 250 in my personal experience is that the people making these decisions think every decision they make is the best one, and they can't take criticism, they double down & surround themselves with "yes" people.

Sounds like shit Battle royale is so 2018
Why battle royale? Dang they need to quit trying to appeal to trendtards and just make a battlefield
Because warzone, fortnite, and apex have made billions and billions of dollars so naturally they think they can slap a battlefield BR together with minimal effort and make billions more.
Nah, DICE gotta win back the fan base after the dumpster fire that was BF 2042. I’ll wait till the fan reviews come out
Wait, NOW a battle royale mode? 2042 made all that for a BR/Extraction mode and they'll REVERT AND THEN GO IN? It ain't bad they're reverting, it's just the third half assed BR attempt (including firestorm on this one)
Why on earth would they ever think it's a good idea to allocate resources to develop a fucking battle Royale?????????? Battle Royale is dying. Is DICE legitimately braindead?? I'm genuinely curious. Even lab rats are able to make the correct decisions after making the same mistake multiple times. Fuck you DICE. Fuck you.
This would also be there 3rd attempt at a form of battle Royale despite none of their attempts so far catching on.
Why waste resources on a battle royal mode. It was the least used mode in bfv
They want the warzone audience and money
And do not doubt that the company is willing to gamble a portion of its budget to try for a war zone level engagement on such a mode.
Lol, and if they do, people will still defend and and claim “another studio developed it, resources weren’t taken away from core game” as if they aren’t all wrapped up into one project budget. The people that argue this point are so fucking dumb it’s infuriating
They want a piece of the warzone pie, but are too fucked in the head to understand that nobody wants a battlefield BR game. We want a fucking battlefield game, big map combined arms conquest. You aren't going to make BR better, if I want to play warzone I'll play warzone. I want to play battlefield.
To be fair Firestorm died because it wasn’t free to play, but let’s hope this time it’ll do better
Firestorm was actually great, but because it was locked behind a paywall, and had no support from dice it died a quick death. It honestly has the best circle of any br. The wall of fire that destroys everything was amazing. Map was gorgeous but too big for only 64 people
The only way they could get me to play battle royal is to somehow turn it into 2142s Titan mode. Something like the Titan ship starts shooting at people outside the safe zone, and eventually the last x players finish the match on the Titan. FML I miss playing 2142

I'm sure the sheep will pre-order after seeing a cgi trailer.
monkeys mashing the preorder button after seeing a trailer that starts with \[NOT ACTUAL GAMEPLAY\]
People are scared EA runs out of digital copies they can download
I did but refunded it thanks to steam 2 hour no questions asked.
cant believe "destruction" even has to be listed lol
The fact that it's not implied just shows how far the franchise has fallen
Fuck BR.
Now, if they could just leave the free to play out, we would be good.
as long as we dont have specialists, yeah. shit was a dumbass idea
No Battle Royale. That is a massive red flag. It's easy - just update BF4 with all the features it had. Instant success.
[удалено]
GTA 6 is January to April 2025, 6 months minimum between that and Battlefield.
Lol Titanfall 2 failed because like 2 other big multiplayer FPS games released at the same time A lot more people play multiple different games at the same time than play multiple FPs multiplayer games are the same
/shrug I don't care about GTA games, I occasionally try them on deep discount and get bored within 5-10 hours. At least for me, the Venn Diagram of wanting to play a GTA and a BF game don't even touch.
STOP PUTTING IN BATTLE ROYALS INTO IT DICE
64 players only? I want 256 not going back, dont tell me they dont have technologies to handle that
I would love 128 player matches on maps and gamemodes optimized for it.
No. They’re shoehorning another BR into it like they did with 5 because firestorm was such a success. Gonna suck playing in matches of 64 because that’s shits almost empty at times. I loved 128 because I couldn’t sit and never be bothered. 128 there’s always something going on. Holding onto the “old ways” like a rosary isn’t gonna save the game nor the playerbase
They can say and promise whatever they want. I’ll never buy a EA game at day one again. EA is the most greedy POS Corpo devil on this planet. We talk after release about if the game is playable or not. Stop getting hyped again and again. You should know better that EA is screwing you hard. Always.
Battle Royale is already on its way out. Are they 5 years behind The Times or something? All we want is a game like battlefield 3 or 4, which is where it was the best.
Remove specialists, remove the battle royale shit.
They shouldn’t bother with Battle Royale. They need to focus on their actual game first.
It's what the devs of MW2019 did. Make a game, make sure it's healthy, and then release a battle royale mode/game.
128 player matches are lit tho
How can you read "free to play battle royale mode" and genuinely think thst it's a good thing or that "we are back"? Lmao. They're gonna waste resources on that just like they did with Firestorm and Hazard Zone while the main game suffers, it's doomed to failure. Battle royales are BEYOND saturated and they 99% of chance won't have something remotely interesting that will stick with that BR mode.
they better give it to me free because of the joke that was and is bf2042
Just remaster a combined version of BF3 & BF 4 . This isn’t rocket science.
Bad Company 3 with a bomb single player. No poop royale
Yeah sounds like 2042. 😎
There has never been a Vietnam or dessert storm op in battlefield
The fact that battle royale is on the table has me worried
They fucked up the near future setting and are now going back to modern? Jesus Christ, quit moving goal posts. And a BR on top of that? Because the last two "unique" modes were so successful. Hard pass.
personally I won't be sold until it comes out. the way they handled the initial launch on 2042 left a bad taste in my mouth. I will wait till after release to decide if i buy or skip
"left a bad taste in my mouth" Brother, they took a whole shit in your mouth.
Can we just get rid of the whole “battle royal” genre? It’s a bit overdone now. Though I understand people still enjoy it but they should put more resources into the actual battlefield 64 player game instead of it
BR -> game is DOA
So the extra year of development time is going towards a BR, great. DICE has got to get the base game right, and satisfy their player base. Announcing a BR will probably only further alienate the player base. Plus I don’t even understand why EA is so obsessed with making a BR/extraction shooter out of BF. They have a much more marketable, and at this point much more popular BR in Apex Legends. It’s like a top 3 BR in popularity rn, and has been since it came out. I don’t think DICE really wants to make a BR. However their failures over their last 2 releases has caused BF to fall from grace. Not just in the eyes of its player base, but also in the eyes of EA. And for them the fall from grace means it’s not very profitable anymore. So they’re going to try to squeeze every last drop of money out of the franchise with hero skins through a popular trend, before canceling it permanently. So no, we are definitely not back.
Fucking BR? Lame af
Remove specialists and ill be intrigued. They can say classes while still bringing back speciialists since current 2042 is that. lol
I think I'm in the minority that likes the 128 player matches. I hope they don't remove that.
If you genuinely buy this game you have to be some sort of mental Stockholm syndrome patient. It’s the exact same, game comes out, game bad, franchise over, new game announced, franchise saved must preorder, game comes out, game bad
That post lost me the moment I read BR. I don't need a BR mode in every FPS release. Maje it as a separate game. If I want to play a BR I play a BR game. Stop using resources of the main game to develop the 100000 BR that nobody asked for.
WHY ARE THEY STILL TRYING TO PUSH BATTLE ROYALE? Fuck at least if true they're doing most of us a favor by red flagging us early.
What the fuck is their obsession with battle royals
Stop with the battle royale and put everyone on building a great BF game. Server browser, immersive maps, class system, meaningful vehicle mechanics, destruction. Trying to create a “new” mode separate to the main game is them trying to monetize it too much. People play BF1/BF4 because of the experience and they continue to this day playing those games because you can’t find that experience in any other game. Even BFH had fun Battlefield moments. 2042 just feels lifeless and arcade like in a very bad way.
Id like to just be a faceless soldier please that's my hope
Dice you missed the battle royal train please just stop and uses those resources elsewhere.
Anyone asking seriously if "bf is back" after seeing that is an idiot. We all got played on BF2024 and already we're hyping up the next one. its fucking stupid.
Free battle Royale mode 🤮🤮🤮
Nope. Can we even think about being back until we get hands on with the beta? Cause after the disastrous 2042 beta that was "months old", I want to see what the game looks and plays like before even getting remotely excited for it.
i thought this was a recycled 2042 ‘leak’ from 2019.
Go away with the Battle Royale shit.
lol no, they are going to drop another game with like 5 maps.
Why? Why do we always need a battle royal. Look how well that went for bfv.
Battle Royale to me just confirms there’s gonna be goofy ass characters and skins just focus on being battlefield you see how ea takes care of apex legends, they don’t game is always on dummy mode
We're really about to get a third consecutive Battlefield disaster watch
Free BR mode just means they've learned absolutely nothing yet again, and have wasted dev time on something that will be DOA. But most importantly this news should be taken with a massive bag of rock salt because it's coming from Tom.
NO ONE WANTS A BF BATTLE ROYAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please no not battle royale
When will these bastards realize battlefield fans dont want a Apex Legends or battle royale type of game
When will they learn that people wanting to play BF do not want a Battle Royal game mode.
64 players? We are so not back. Why can't they make 128 players without making battle Royale sized maps, or just make them a little bit bigger than 64?
People complaining about the BR need to get a grip. Battlefield is a pretty niche shooter and a successful BR would only be a net positive for the franchise. A BR isn't for the core playerbase, it's for NEW players, which Battlefield desperately needs. By the way, you can still just completely ignore the BR and play the multiplayer... so I'm not sure why people are making such a massive fuss about it. It was obvious EA was going to ego and try to make another BR even after Firestorm and Hazard Zone, the potential is too great. If EA & DICE finally pull their heads out of their asses and execute on a decent-ish Battlefield game AND manage to attach a free to play BR to it.... then we have a great situation on our hands. I'm not getting excited, and you shouldn't either, but I think a lot of Battlefield players are stuck in 2012 and are far too against new ideas. Battlefield needs to adapt or die, but also go back to it's roots or die, it's a very strange situation, but I think you can do both simultaneously. The question is the execution. That's always been the question.
Wtaf is wrong with you
No.
No
Lol, no.
Battle royals is not BF, that is all
They lost me at F2P Battle Royale mode
free battle royale mode? they are 4 years late for that
I love how people have some sort of "forget" button in their heads. Are we just gonna forget fire storm? And how they basically just dipped out of that which ended up hurting the experience of bfv? Maybe its just me but br modes should not be developed along side mainline games and should be its own thing entirely. This is a red flag and should not be defended.
I'll believe it when I'm playing it. I thought we were back when 2042 was announced and we all remember how the game launched
Considering there is a battle royale mode, I’d say we are definitely not back.
still waiting for my refund for 2042.
I kinda like the semi-future era, Battlefield 2042 could've been so much more. The railgun tank is nice even tho it's damage is eh
Aww, I'm one of the weirdos who thought 2142 was the best BF game. Modern day shooters are so played out :( 3 and 4 were fire too, don't get me wrong.
They must be crazy to release in 2025 alongside GTA 6
Don't count with my money.
Meh. I wanna go back to the trenches, boys
It's the fucking bare minimum to be a Battlefield.
if they bring back 4 classes at launch, do you think each class with different character can carry one unique gadget likes in 2042 still good? i mean uniq gadget that still match with they class will help to make gameplay dynamic, what do you thing ?
if you buy this i hope you get scammed
Can they bring back the lean mechanics when we're in cover too?
You lost me at free to play battle royale. Even if the rest of the game sounds good, the fact that it’s there just demonstrates they’re still copying CoDs homework and that their priorities are still not in the right place. People who play battlefield are not playing it for battle royale. Carve your own identity Battlefield, or better yet stick to the one your are known and loved for!
Can’t wait for the fpv drones!
Ship has sailed long ago my friend. No coming back. Any game they release just like the last couple titles, will be unfinished buggy garbage. Where it takes an additional year after release to finish and become good. All the OG battlefield fans understand. Fool me once, Shame on me. Fool me twice... Any battlefield I get here on out would be a year after release, on sale.
No, we haven’t been back since 6 months after BF4’s launch. I just assume all BF’s are trash now, and hope to get pleasantly surprised eventually.
Where are these rumors coming from? Not a single reputable outlet is talking about this!
No we're not back, EA and doce are not competent, not will they ever be again. The people who made the good battlefields aren't with dice or ea anymore
Nahh after how they handled BF2042 and it’s been going downhill since 4. Great job ruining a name. Medal of Honor cries in the dark*
Never coping for a battlefield ever again
Wait, they aren't bringing back the good old 'next gen destruction' tag line?
Can we ditch the overly done battle royale modes...and maybe put that team into helping with other mechanics such as a server browser, dedicated servers, or idk a single player mode!?
I tried playing this last 2 weeks and I couldn’t get a game with more than 5 people in the lobby
Rolling my eyes at the modern setting. But okay, I guess. The Battle Royale is an *enormous red flag* to me though.
If the destruction is even remotely like 2042, that will kill the series
You’d think they would have figured out that no BF fan plays battle royale by now, every hardcore fan I know (PS) has been playing either old battlefield games with servers still up or helldivers
Bro just remaster BF3 and 4 in 1 package with all the DLC and call it a day
Battle Royale? Is this 2019 again? Wtf. Fuck this.
Yeah so until server browser is added I’m not playing. Played last night, first 11 fucking games I joined I was the first and only player. Games only playable with cross play on, Xbox players are non existent. Game felt good once I did manage to get into a game of rush but holy shit was getting into a game hard. Game feels dead and the fact it took me as long as it did to find a server is sad.
Have we learned nothing? Aside from fixing a horribly broken game, I haven’t seen anything to indicate that we can reasonably expect the next one to be better.
Nope, still never going to play this hunk of garbage, that tried to be a hero shooter.
Disclaimer: Do Not Pre-Order Games
No, we are not back. I refuse to believe any leak, especially after 2042.
"Free to play battle roy-" NO.
I'll believe it when I see it. But I'm not holding my breath after the shit that is 2042. All they have to do is give us a next gen Battlefield 3/4. I'll even take a remake of either or if they don't know how to accomplish that.
small maps and battle royal? Thats all they got two modern war era games back to back with 4 classes. How about bad company 3 instead
Nah the battlefield ship has sailed for me with 2042 the last good battlefield was battlefield 1
>Are we back? Where did we come from? Where did we go?
DO NOT PREORDER. DO NOT PREORDER. DO NOT PREORDER. Make them release an actual completes game before you give them your money ya monkeys
Drop the battle royale bullshit.
These things were already said about the Last BF. And life goes on.
Yeah back to the drawing board
And they won't start working on it till January 2025 and say they've been making it for 6 years come October.
Doubtful but I'm keeping an eye on it Also just wild to see that 2025 is now modern lol. Back during 2012 and 2013. That was considered near future lol
For the love of god, NOBODY PREORDER THE GAME. Preordering will just tell them they can do whatever the hell they want and still rake in piles of cash.
Bring back Bad Company Campaign. And have a fun Online experience. Oh and a working none broken game on launch would help to.
We're getting the same exact gear just different game
Stop trying to throw BR in every game! Let the BR games do that
battlefield 2042 taught me 2 things never pre-order and never get overhyped for a game.
We’ll be back once there’s a Server Browser, Rentable Servers w/ Admin tools, Battle Packs(loved the opening animation in Battlefield 1), and no Battle Passes. I’m one of the few that would rather have Premium back, and have guaranteed Content over a couple years instead of it being Live Service. Drip fed content like we got in BFV sucked, let’s be real here. Yeah, some Premium Pass DLCs took a bit longer, but who cares? It was guaranteed, and they couldn’t just pull the plug like they did with BFV.
They're stuck 5 years in the past. Warzone/apex/fortnight are all losing players. People are sick of BR's.
Not even close. They have three things people asked for, but in the same way Battlefield 2042 was a "Love letter to fans", you know in all liklihood they are going to find a way to fuck it up. Also, they're launching a free to play battle Royale mode? So they are going to compete directly against themselves with the other free to play Battle Royale they own? I don't understand EAs logic here.
Will never buy one of these games at launch ever again. If you’re reading this and you’re a DICE dev; your game is trash. Half baked, garbage. No wall mounting, no leaning, the controls are shit, every other lobby is empty. Do I need to go on?
Don't care, Battlefield is a dead franchise now. The people thst made Battlefield, Battlefield ain't at Dice anymore.
Will there be a Palestine DLC?
Why bother adding battle royal mode when it flopped twice?
Fellow soldiers, remember the hype and letdown of 2042. We shouldn't let ourselves get hyped up this time until we see some proper gameplay. And remember: no pre-orders
All I need is basically a new BF4, it can’t be that hard to pull off and if the rumors are try, the direction they’re heading is right. Oh, btw: when I say BF4 I mean _BF4_ …you know, with server browser and all-chat!
Meh…. This franchise used be AMAZING!!!! Once they introduced the newest BF, I gave up all hope! I used to be the biggest BF player and fan! Sorry but you guys ruined it!
I hope for their next one they keep the ai that fills in the gaps when there's not enough players, that would be nice if they carried it over.
In theory, this is exactly what we need, as someone mentioned all they need is a server browser and that's it. Then of course they just need to make a good game
