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
Yeah, time for a remake. BF4 remake! That would get me excited
That! Or a proper sequel to 2142.
Reimagine deez nuts.
Gottem
lol
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!
Though they can release some good games like Dead Space Remake.
… but it’s a remake so yeah fuck ‘em.
I liked it. I liked it a lot. Titan mode was epic.
I want bad company 3 with building you can destroy.
Agree. They don't need to reimagine, they need to de-imagine and find out what made the BF series unique and fun. They've gone so off-target that someone made the game they should have made, but with block figures, and its a success! (Im talking about Battlebit).
They could have built new and refreshing features on top of the well-functioning formula. BF in a future dystopia could have been great. Wingsuits and extreme weather of various sorts would have been cool. As long as the game still had a fun balance between vehicles and infantry and snipers. Destructable buildings and close city streets combat made all 3 sides feel like they had options.
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
"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 problem
Screenshot looks like Far Cry
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.
Well the get formulaic because it made money. And followed a successful formula. Breaking that and innovating is hard and risky.
Especially if the people making the game don’t understand their core audience.
Dice and EA are perfect examples of that with Battlefield. They had a good thing with graphics and whatnot and could have chosen to focus on engine optimization, scaling etc. Instead they chased the dragon of what other games were popular (like pubg, apex etc) and made a turd.
Ubisoft makes a beautiful turd as well. I miss interesting, innovative games.
EA can fund Neebs Gaming / Hank and Jed for new Battlefield Friends season and get them to advertise new game through it and I’ll pay attention
RIP thick44
Goddamnit that’s right we lost recon.
what?!
Yeah he had a long battle with cancer
Just give us 2143 already.
Just, like, bring back the good helicopter controls from BF3 and not the garbage in the newest one. That’ll get my interest.
I just want the OGs back. When BF was fun because the physics was simple and you could do crazy shit.
The very best one was the Desert Combat mod for the original game.
I remember sitting in Business Law class in the back flying a chopper with a trackpad, mowing down dudes in the Battle of the Bulge or whatever.
Battlefield 2
Once again they aim for something that looks unpromising. I hope they drop the single player, come to their senses and make something closer to bf4. They should know better.
I’ll once again throw in my hopes for a fantasy battlefield.
- Working with real countries is a chore when the game needs to be sold globally. The game loses identity when it cannot identify any of the concrete reasons for the conflict or let any opponents be demonized.
- Gameplay will need to justify crazy shit to let people do fun things like fly around, revive teammates from the dead, or drive giga-vehicles. Fictional worlds are perfect for that; and they can still choose to have damage models influenced by military tactics games.
- Fantasy worlds can establish a visual uniqueness that conveys appeal for the game in its marketing, without the brand getting confused with others involving “tough soldier holding assault carbine while backed up by a tank”.
- EDIT: One more. Fictional firearms don’t give licensing money to the manufacturers of real arms.
My other, separate hope is for a Battlefield game that rewards squad play even when the players in question are not amazing crackshots. They’ve aimed for that many times, but generally I only see campers and lone Rambo wolves win these games.
