Battlefield 6

Bad Company is BF for players that get triggered by vehicles, mortars and fun. But that's my opinion too.

Anyways, I liked BF3 and 4's single player campaigns and played each twice.

Ignoring for a second that your point has nothing to do with the quality of the SP campaigns, BC2 in fact had vehicles in MP.

BF4's campaign is peak.

Happy to agree to disagree. It was flash and no substance - terribly written, disjointed, bad enemy AI and a pale imitation of a CoD campaign.

BF3's SP was fun honestly. It had you travelling all over the world and included a spectacular jet mission. For the the variety alone, I liked it.

BC2, kinda the same thing, but I thought it had a bit more charm in terms of writing and characters etc., but smaller maps and less vehicles.

BF4 felt underwhelming in comparison to both. But I didn't hate playing it, it was fine just forgettable.

BF1 and 4 featured various short mini-campaigns, some of it was OK, some was bland. I guess same thing, I didn't hate it but I wouldn't care to do it again.

I still liked it but would agree. Odd story writing, too many black outs to progress the story, and an annoying focus on a team of 4 people who have too wide of a range of combat roles to be sensible. BF3's campaign on the other hand was nice. BF4 took a step back. The rest of the BF games got worse.

Not exactly confidence inspiring if true...

Articles like this reminds me why I'm glad I never got into game development for a career. F that.

Moving forward its clear EA is trying to capture the magic of BF3/4 with BF6 which is great however I wonder what the budget difference would have been if they just re-released BF4 with updated graphics & physics over developing a new game like BF6?

I don't think that is true. In some ways they are but the extreme monetization and kiddie cosmetics will be there. They haven't denied it or even mentioned it once, which is extremely troubling. From the alpha we see the post BF4 style "squad" (actually a fire team lol) when loading into matches, the whole point of doing that is to show off your paid cosmetics and macro transactions to other players. This always includes weekends, seasons passes, or other things like gimmick game modes or challenges to compete which ruin the game while they are running. People will obsess over getting their new shiny thing or meeting a certain challenge and become very toxic in game and not play objectives or proper game modes.

I'd have no problem with a BF3/4 style paid season pass, with a large number of high quality maps and weapons added. I suppose a smaller selection and cheaper price would be better and putting more into the main game for free. Or just do a moderate expansion for $20 with lots and lots of guns. Either option is a lot better than the free to play BS we get in $70-80 AAA games (which aren't even free!) now days.

I'd be perfectly happy with $20-25 map/gun expansions like bf3/4 had. The less shiny pink rainbow unicorn cosmetics, and free to play style silliness, the better.

Why am I not shocked. The clowns at EA and DICE have repeatedly fucked up every new Battlefield game since BF4 and yet they still expect this one to gain 100 million players....delusional does not even begin to describe these morons.

Well BF4 had its share of fuckery as well, it had issues after launch for quite some time and dice even had to issue an apology for the state of the game.

The 100 million player thing is LALA land, battlefield try as it will has never been that big of a game in player count terms.

I'd agree, if that is the alternative. I'd rather pay more for a quality game. Instead we'll end up paying the same... and still get micro/macro transactions. Some CoD skin packs are $15-20 now if I recall. No doubt EA wants to do the same.

They just don't learn. That is not that people want BF for. The regular military shooter market is dead, with things either being niche mil-sim like games with smaller player counts or PUBG/Fortnite and its many knock offs. BF has space to come back to, the market is still there. Chasing after giants in a crowded market, and competing with their own Apex Legends battle royale game is just... dumb. BF doesn't need to be a hero shooter BR game, they can just make Apex Legends 2 for that.

Yeah I remember that all too well. DICE Sweden fucked it up so badly that DICE LA spent 12 months patching it into an acceptable state. I suppose BF4 is the last game that felt true to its roots, everything which followed was shit IMHO.

Remember all the marketing material for BF4 had the skyscraper fall in the siege of Shanghai map, by the time the game came out it was boring. Almost any social media post they had showed it falling. Was amusing when people finally played the map in the final version and realised the map played better when the big old map gimmick remained intact and didn't fall. :D

Even the building collapsing was glitchy, I remember hovering above it before in a helicopter as it was coming down and it also managed to destroy my helicopter despite being about 50 feet above the rooftop at the time. :cry:

Sad thing is they have Portal which could have been its own game. Sell portal and bring all the old maps and weapons in. Remake the maps to support the modern tech and bring back some of the destruction from Bf3 and BF4. I still have fond memories of playing in the BF3 close quarter maps and destroying the interior walls of the office building. Bring back the custom servers where players can make the ruleset they want without the limitations BF2042 had in Portal.

30 million was the most a BF game ever reached. They are smoking crack of they think they can reach 100 million.

Battle Royale is still a thing?
 
I'm just really confused why would EA and Dice even want the bullcrap battle royale in a Battlefield game? No one likes that garbage.

BR is for kids, not serious adult gamers.

And that's not what a battlefield game is whatsoever it's supposed to be two different opposing militaries going after each other with tons of vehicles a dozen tanks on each side going across the huge outdoor maps and getting hit by several helicopters shooting at them while the soldiers are going after the objectives. That's Battlefield

If they're pushing BR, then they've lost the whole idea and concept of what a battlefield game is and have "jumped the shark"
