All I want is BF3 with BC2 levels of destruction and find it tough to believe that cant be done on today's hardware. They need to prove it though, this series has been woke dogshit for years.

What made 2042 woke.
Granted I didnt much like 2042 but i didnt get woke vibes from it.
Really disliked the operators cuz id rather just have classes.

And if you mean the BFV trailer if you actually played the game, you know there was like zero women with cricket bats and prosthetic limbs in the actual game.

BF1 was some hard shit, the best atmosphere the game has had quite possible the best atmosphere of any online shooter save maybe Hunt,
BF4, BF3, BC2, BC1???

 

[Kerotan]

I want 2043 not this shite.

 

[cash_longfellow]

40yo and my two most anticipated games this year are Borderlands and Battlefield, feel young again.

100% this…same here.

Please have single player

How is 2042 these days? It is always on sale for like a nickel

The game is so bad, you couldn't pay me to play it. Even free is a bad deal. It's honestly a waste of your gaming time when you can be enjoying something so much better.

 

[jshackles]

This game's got some crazy marketing happening on the border of India

 

[Elginer]

I feel I've been in an abusive relationship with BF. I keep wanting Bad Company's MP but keep getting lied too over and over again.

It's fun as hell. 128 battles can be insane.

They were insane but they took them away, regretfully.

I'll be there day one. It's going to be glorious.

Even when they have shitty releases (all of them except maybe 1), I still manage to have some fun. It's the only shooter of this kind that I like for some reason.
The leaks look pretty promising too.

I don't think it will be worse than 2042, TBH (although I do like 2042).

 

[SkylineRKR]

BF1 was the beginning of the end. It had barely any weapons for instance.

The best BF is BF3 and 4. And BC2. I hope it goes back to this modern warfare style.

 

[R6Rider]

They were insane but they took them away, regretfully.

They took away Breakthrough 128, but not Conquest 128. Unless you mean for this next title.

 

[Thabass]

Hoping for better than 2042 and a return to form.

From what I'm hearing in the testing phase right now, it's pretty fun. We'll see how EA does to ruin that.

 

[SHAKEZ]

Here's hoping to being a random soldier with no special gadgets of their onw in the middle of chaos.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

From what I'm hearing in the testing phase right now, it's pretty fun. We'll see how EA does to ruin that.

Prediction: It'll launch with relatively positive reviews from Battlefield fans, then after a few weeks / months the player base will plummet and the vibe will completely sour.

Battlefield fans will, again, say "If only they made a new Battlefield but just corrected these 3 mistakes", not realizing the mold is the problem.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Bringing up previous entries? Let's forget those, have anyone looked at the shooter landscape today? I think a military shooter today is something dice can pull off, how many insane alien, looters, specific game mode shooters are out there now?

 

[EN250]

Can we get back to the good old days of BF3 and BF4 or we're still getting shit like V and 2042?

 

[winjer]

My expectations for BF6 are very low.
Let's see if modern day Dice can disappoint once again.

 

[A.Romero]

They took away Breakthrough 128, but not Conquest 128. Unless you mean for this next title.

Yeah, you are right.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Yeah let's not forget what happened with the hype of BF 2045 and those crazy ass trailers with a jet fighter pilot ejecting out of the aircraft with a bazooka....yeah that turd turned out well didn't it. Game was literally unplayable for a year.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

I'm fully trusting Zampella, he will bring back the good times.

Lets hope so because his studio was being gutted while he was away consulting on this one.

Say what you want about 2042, but that trailer was awesome. I twas filled with Battlefield Moments (TM). They actually dedicated a whole bit of it to the Rendezook.

[cash_longfellow]

So, it's really looking like a full reveal in June with a release date. I'm guessing a beta in September and release at the end of October or early November at the latest.

 

[DonF]

bruh, V ended up being great. same with 1. 2042 feels soulless.

 

[Sanepar]

I'm fully trusting Zampella, he will bring back the good times.

Maybe but original dice devs gone to embark and this being made on LA new dice studio with no bf original devs.

[Donald mac Ronald]

I remember the battlefield 3 trailer. Holy shit was that hype.

What cod came out that year? Like black ops 2 or something shit.

Bobby k from Activision tried to play down the trailer saying it looks like a good pc game lol .

 

[ValiantInstance]

It has to come in October/November. Call of Duty is on the ropes.

MW3 was 2011 and ended up being a massive let-down.

BLOPS II was 2012 and imo sat next to COD4 & MW2 as one of the best multiplayers.


I have fond memories of the BF3 beta, particularly on the Paris map. It was staying pretty warm well into the latter part of the summer and I was doing a load of heavy gardening work for my mum. At the end of it I'd come in, tidy up, bring the PS3 downstairs and plug it into the living room tele, grab a cool drink, have the windows and back door wide open with a nice cool breeze coming in; all the more pleasing when you have that somewhat-pleasant ache from a hard day's work... then I loaded up the BF3 beta and played the hell out of it nearly every day afterwards (also had Renegade Ops & Infamous 2 in rotation). For my age at the time, I remember being totally content in that moment and thought these are the calm, simple times you'll look back on fondly. In terms of the times I was right, but I genuinely had hope that games would continue to get better and in that respect I feel I was way off.

Hopefully BF6 is a return to form.
