What do we want to see from the next battlefield?
The consensus seems to be a mix between battlefield 3 and 4. What do we like about each of those and what do we want to see evolved?
Battlefield 3 and 4 preserved the core of battlefield. What is the core and how did it become eroded in more recent releases, (mostly 2042). The core of battlefield is what we need. it’s non negotiable. It’s what gives the game its identity. A few characteristics that define the core of battlefield:
4 classes that each have a purpose and work in tandem
standardised soldiers. this is so important and affects the gameplay so much. understanding the interplay between the 4 classes and how to counter other classes is key. 2042 added so many unique abilities that everything felt like a wild card. With bf3 & bf4 classes, there were limitations to each class that could easily be understood.
Not to mention, the personalities they gave the characters totally took away the personality we can give to our character. The blank, standard soldiers in bf3 and bf4 were much more fun to play with.
The next huge difference between bf3, bf4 and 2042 is the chat. One of battlefield’s major selling points is people being able to play together and talk together. It made the game feel alive, with community. This is absolutely gone in 2042. If anything, battlefield can benefit greatly from proximity chat. Allowing players to feel connected and to interact in real time adds a lot to the experience.
There’s a bunch more things that make battlefield’s core experience, please share what you think those are.
battlefield 3 and 4 were great games. We didn’t need an overhaul of the gameplay. We wanted the same thing but give us the modern version. Give us better vehicle physics, better destruction, better graphics, iron out all the bugs and annoying things from bf3 and 4, and then just sprinkle a few new things on top that add to the experience.
