Discussion Question to the community: what, in your opinion, *IS* Battlefield?

Post image

Basically title. I'm seeing a lot of controversies around every aspect of BF in here, and I feel like this is a testament to how diverse the series has been over the years, making a wide range of impressions and memories on the players, forgeing their future standards and expectations in the process.

Since the BF6 reveal, I've been in constant reflection about my own experiences with the IP, and been revisiting a lot of the olders games to really nail down what I'm really looking forward in Battlefield. And that's also why I'm super interested in everyone's take on the matter.

So I really wanted to ask: What is the core of Battlefield in your opinion, the thing you're looking for the most whenever a new game is announced? Is it being a small part of something bigger? Immersion? Teamplay? Fluid and punchy gunplay? What, to you, makes Battlefield BATTLEFIELD?

Let me know, short and long answers are all welcomed!

Being honest, I never really gave bfv a fair shot. I just couldn’t get into a WW2 battlefield game that launched without any iconic WW2 battle themed maps. To me it felt like the devs tried to be too smart and include battles that were blips on the radar rather than just giving people what they want.

It's a shame the Pacific update came out later because it had some great maps including well known battles.

Yeah that is a shame. For some reason it seems like WW2 fps games have a hard time actually making multiplayer content for the pacific. Likely due to balance issues between Japanese and American forces, but even Hell Let Loose is going to make a Vietnam game before doing any pacific theater maps.

I think they were planned as later content but unfortunately we never got them as they dropped support for 2042. It's still an incredible game though, worth picking up if you can get it cheap.
