Speaking of quality campaigns, the Battlefield: Bad Company spinoffs join Battlefield 1 as having some of the only standout story modes of the franchise. While the first Bad Company game leaned into large-scale gameplay, giving players freedom in how they completed their story missions, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 improved this experience by focusing on something that worked surprisingly well in the first game: the cast of characters. From the nerdy but lovable Sweetwater to the explosives-loving redneck named Haggard, players cared about the collection of dysfunctional soldiers far more than they may have expected to â something that has led to several requests for Battlefield: Bad Company remasters over the ye

Set to debut this fall, Battlefield 6 (or whatever the next entry is named) presumably aims to reignite the franchise after Battlefield 5 's troubled release. Criterion, being the main developer of the Need for Speed series, has had to delay this year's entry to 2022 because of Battlefield 's development. If anything, devoting more development time to Need for Speed can only benefit the franchise, which has struggled with relevancy for nearly a dec
The new Battlefield will be the first in the series since Battlefield V in 2018, which was a bit of a mess. The World War II shooter was buggy and had a lackluster battle royale mode to try and compete with other games, all of which led to DICE pulling support on Battlefield V __ less than two years after its launch. Needless to say, it left a bad taste in peoples' mouths. It seems like DICE has taken its time to try and make things right with Battlefield
Content was added that pulled from all periods of Star Wars , allowing players to fill the role of General Grievous or Rey Skywalker. Several special cosmetics were added that gave players a reason to grind and keep playing, while new map additions changed things up as time went on. A free expansion for the campaign provided real closure for its characters, while an emphasis on fun saw absurd game modes like Ewok Hunt bringing Star Wars fans back to the game. Though it lacks Battlefield âs destruction and a proper stat-tracking system like Battlelog , Star Wars Battlefront 2 is truly deserving of a second cha
Aside from taking a Battlefield 3 approach to map design, instead of the unfocused areas of recent games, a major quality of life decision would be bringing back the Battlelog . Back during Battlefield 3 âs peak, “Battlelog” was both a forum for players to discuss the game, as well as a detailed stat tracker. Though it was used in Battlefield 4 , with the stats portion integrated into the game itself, the system was abandoned completely ahead of Battlefield 1 âs de
While these failed modes show that players may want Battlefield to stay as is in terms of size and scale, 128 players could have another negative impact on the game. While DICE having ambitious ideas for Battlefield 6 like this player count, the launch of Battlefield 4 was plagued by issues caused by the studio taking on too much. A cross-generational release with bold ideas like Levelution, the game suffered from an abundance of bugs and crashes on launch. A focus on huge new features as opposed to basic mechanics proved devastating as well, with the gameâs poor netcode seeing players dying seconds after they got behind cover. Though patches eventually fixed Battlefield 4 , its rough launch ensured it never surpassed Battlefield 3 in the eyes of fans â and it is entirely possible that a sudden jump to 128 players causes stability issues for Battlefield 6 if DICE is not care
After all, the Battlefield series is no stranger to making use of odd names for its games, as Battlefield 1 shows this clearly. As such, simply calling the next Battlefield game “ Battlefield ” would hardly be a big deal, and it makes sense with what DICE is supposedly trying to do. Several rumors have come out suggesting that the developer is aiming to recreate the feel of older games like Battlefield 2042 Updates 3 , bringing back the feelings had when players enjoyed those titles. Further, there is no denying that Battlefield 5 failed to meet expectation. While using the name Battlefield 6 implies a continuation of Battlefield 5 âs style and systems, the use of the title Battlefield suggests some level of distance between that game and this new title â with the brief Battlefield name symbolizing a fresh start just like Modern Warfare â
If Battlefield 6 âs rumored title is truly suggesting a fresh start, fans can expect Modern Warfare âs style of a soft reboot to be copied as well. This will likely be seen in Battlefield âs next campaign , as characters like Dima, Recker, and Blackburn will likely be left in the past. The “war of 2020” plotline from Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 will likely be abandoned completely, with the warships, nukes, and planned war with China likely to be dropped in favor of a World War 3 narrative. Aside from a new story, however, Battlefieldâs soft reboot could usher in a new style of gameplay for the ser
