Battlefield General - Discuss the series here

Only several active games right now, I assume there are more based on what time you view it.
Gee, if only the newer games didn't depend on a central server to function, maybe then the players would decide if the game should die or, say, live another 20 years even if it's with fewer players than at launch. Shame we don't have that option!

dont forget to preorder

 

[The Last Stand]

Personally, I would've loved a Hardline sequel. One that would take full advantage of the cops/robbers, drug war setting without it being TOO arcade.

 

[Spit bucket]

I'll have hope. Gonna wait like everyone else before I cast it aside. The gameplay I saw from Jackfrags and LevelCap seem promising.

I do hope that Battlefield 6 would be enough to bring back Battlefield Friends. Of course, it wouldn’t be the same without Thick44. F. He would’ve loved this.

RIP Tony Schnur. Sniper was a great member of the Battlefield Friends.

 

[Mister Fister]

Looks like Battlefield. Destruction looks amazing.

 

[The Last Stand]

Is Battlefield 2042 canon with Battlefield 6 or will it quietly be forgotten about?

It was released at the wrong time, occasionally people boot it up for a try and enjoy the gameplay but have to join the one server, in Germany, that actually has players.

With the while Michael Brown situation in America (cop related shooting,) EA did not want to risk the bad timing from current events.

you keep telling yourself that.
EA ain't going to do anything to annoy BF cattle while they are still trying to recover what they have lost, expect BF7 to be exactly like BF6 but for PS6 and shieet.

That’s what a developer from Hardline said, along with lower than expected sales.

I'm pretty sure Thick was the guy that drove them to play Battlefield, as he seemed the most passionate and enthusiastic about it. Last I remember, he was the one to bring them into Ark and 7 Days to Die, which are pretty much their core games. Losing him took a lot out of the group dynamic they once had - he is sorely missed.

Is Battlefield 2042 canon with Battlefield 6 or will it quietly be forgotten about?

Is Bad Company canon? What about Hardline and 2142?

I don't think it will be since it isn't a mainline entry, though BFV shouldn't be with its bastardisation either. The property can exist with several offshoots, and it's honestly better that they remain separate. That being said, Vince Zampella sounded like he wanted a consistent Battlefield universe in the future, so who knows what will become of that.

 

[WhoBusTank69]

What about Hardline

Maybe.

 

[The Last Stand]

Maybe.

Off topic but were there really any female combat soldiers in the Soviet Union?

It seems like lies that the SU made in order to show off the world.

If there were, I could only imagine the rape statistics
In actuality, they probably mean meme snipers(like during WW2) or undercover agents of some kind as "female combat soldiers" since they could technically get into combat at anytime.

Yes but no, but also yes. In WW1 there were female pilots and soldiers because of how desperate they were, in WW2 they were primarily propaganda pieces though the few actual snipers did get confirmed kills. Of course with fighting in/near cities and their lack of paying attention there were likely women who did some shooting in an unofficial capacity.

The Soviet Union did lose a good chunk of it's population so it's not outside the realm of possibility.


The one thing I see multiple people dislike is how some of the maps from the beta are more dense and smaller than previous BF titles. I personally loved the smaller maps from 3 and 4. 1 and 5 despite having some good maps it had a good chunk of massive open fields with barren land that if you didn't have a vehicle around you, you were basically going for a jog to get to a point. 2042 biggest complaint map wise was all the maps were way too fucking big with nothing in them. I like Caspian Border and Firestorm as much as the next guy but sometimes it's better to have a few maps like Zavod 311 and Talah Market around.

 

[The Last Stand]

If Battlefield 6 wants to compete with the next Call of Duty now, reducing the MSRP to $40-50 would be a good start.

and yet they still did V and 2042...
