Where does Battlefield go next?

@funkydupe is onto something.

Warhammer 40K, y'all.

I'd like to see Battlefield take a new, earnest look at some of the other wars in modern history:

• WWII
• Korea
• Gulf War
• Bosnia (too soon?)
• Afghanistan (definitely too soon, but I'm putting it on here)
• maybe a general Cold War one that spans a long length of time (though COD Black Ops kinda already did some of this)

This gives them a few years of content. After that, let's go future space war.

Battlefield Prehistoric Era. Since people seemed so upset with COD going full star wars, let's give them what they really want.

Picture this E3 demo. Oog goes searching for triceratops eggs, but is immediately ambushed by a group of Uhg Ehrm bonemen (your traditional loadout, fishbone gun + primordial soup canisters, click the stick to melee with massive dino bone) but the sound of shrieking is heard overhead. Oog looks up to see pterodactyl aerial support from his fellow Durga-bogah Bonk Bonks. Zoom out to see this happening all over the map. Volcanoes are killstreaks.

Historical shooters are trite at this point, and while nobody seems to be into the new call of duty direction but you have to give them credit for branching out.

I want the new battlefield to make its own setting up, do something with an alternate history. Or just go all the way back to the medieval era and do a AAA Chivalry type game

Battlefield Primal aka Battlefield 0.

Battlefield: 793 Lindisfarne

Ministers vs Viking raiders, sword on books action. Hot unlocks like sniper scopes for the spear men and of course wizard spell upgrades for the Ministers.

Going back to WW2 makes the most sense for the next game, as WW1 has been mined pretty well in just this initial release. Almost all available weaponry during that period is already in the game, with only a few omissions really that I'm sure will be in later DLC (many of the weapons of WW1 were shared among nations, so there wasn't too much variety between what any given nation used). There weren't many vehicles either, and what's in the game again already represents just about everything for the most part. I'm sure more will be in DLC in that regard. A lot of people are obviously clamoring for Bad Company 3, but given that for all intents and purposes its just a modern era game, which BF3 and 4 covered pretty extensively, there's not much they could do with it to innovate over those games I don't think.

I'd like another Battlefield Vietnam game, one of my favourites.

Cave person times, The first war! Literally Battlefield 01. Not sure how you'll fit in automatic weapons but then again im not some high flying game designer.

I guess they could call it Battlefield 2(2017) and move on to WW ll

I would love to see Bad Company 3 next.

Mass effect crossover set in the Rachni Wars

I would really love to see a Battlefield 1944.

Bad Comapany 3 is the dream but why not go further back and do the Civil War.

Then in the commercials they can play a remix of Guns N Roses "Civil War". What's so civil about war, anyway?

I'm a little late here but...

They've taken huge risks in the setting for the last 2 Battlefield games, in my opinion. Granted, BF1 is a lot like BF4 in practice, but setting something in WWI risked scaring off a ton of potential players, especially young ones whose power fantasy is more "machine guns and oscar mikes" at the expense of less-explored territory.

It will probably never happen, but I'd love for them to keep going back and take a stab at huge-scale medieval combat... like Chivalry or For Honor. I know that makes it not so much a shooter, but I'm totally down with that.

I really hope they change a lot of things when they make the next game. I think the BF formula, especially for multiplayer, has aged ungracefully. I'd suggest moving back towards the narrative based campaigns, like in Bad Company, which is clearly the tone DICE prefers.

I've said it before. Epic WW2 setting. I want to storm Normandy Beach, scale the cliffs of Point Du Hoc, win the battle of Stalingrad and kill me some motherfucking nazis. That's all.

Or Korea. Or Vietnam. Or mid 90's stuff in central/Eastern Europe.

Would be nice to give it a break rather than burning everyone out on yearly installments. As is beginning to show with Call of Duty, folks are getting tired of shelling out for reskins and minor improvements yearly. I think Battlefield played it smart but I see their luck running out as well.

(Give us another 2142)

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic? Lichdom: Battle Mage? Vermintide?

Those are the only things that come close that I can think of, without just listing first person RPGs...

I wouldn't mind them taking another crack at a 2142 style. That was my first(albeit a short one) battlefield experience.

I think a Vietnam War game would be something unique and interesting.

I've been waiting a long time to get back to WW2, but I doubt they will immediately follow up with that. WWI was pretty damn big, wonder if they will just do expansions for a year or let Battlefront take centre stage next year.

Is there *always* a new BF every year?

Three words:

Battlefield: Napoleonic Wars.

On average, it's a couple years between "main" titles. Spinoffs are different, but I guess they might count towards fatigue. For reference - not including 1943, which isn't a full game:

1. 1942: 2002
2. Vietnam: 2004
3. BF2: 2005
4. 2142: 2006
5. BC1: 2008
6. BC2: 2010
7. BF3: 2011
8. BF4: 2013
9. Hardline: 2015
10. BF1: 2016

I too also hope for another WW2 entry. The conflict was so vast and our ability to portray it has evolved so much that I feel another entry is definitely warranted, and DICE can pull it off.

At either rate, expect no news for like two years and a potential release sometime in 2019.

I am still hoping for a sequel to BF 2142. Titan mode was so fucking good

I don't really care for the single player so just more guns and maps work for me.

Braddlefield. The only thing you fight is the urge to load up DOTA or Destiny.

I'd also accept Battlefield: Harderline. It's just Hardline, except every line and sound effect ends with a voice saying "Except more so."

I don't really care as long as it's something different.

It would be nice if shooter franchises didn't get mired in very strict "eras" so much. I would love it if they could just jump around in time from game to game as much they wanted rather than like, "Here's five WWII games in a row, now here's ten modern games in a row, now here's a bunch of future shit."

I hope they do a sequel to this. Go the final fantasy route

Battlefield 1:2

Deliciously evil
