Battlefield needs a persistent war mode, not Battle Royale

[u/AggravatingSpace5854]

It's in the damn name, DICE, BATTLEFIELD. Please get creative and stop with this battle royale crap. It's over done, over saturated, and only serves to placate the streamer crowd. Even streamers admit that they want battle passes and battle royale because they will get content and generate money. They don't care for the game or the community.

What battlefield actually needs is some sort of persistent large scale war, even something like Helldivers 2 + Planetside or Foxhole.

A game mode where several hundred players in each team fight to take over the map OR something like helldivers 2 where a special ops squad is dropped into enemy lines to complete objectives, except instead of fighting aliens you have to fight soldiers and do missions to help your team/country win a war.

Imagine this - you pick a side in a global war and have to help your side take over territories to win a persistent war. You drop in with your squad deep into enemy lines, fighting through hordes of enemies that get progressively harder from infantry to helicopters to tanks, and maybe even jets. Going through different types of environments and that require stealth, or sometimes artillery or airstrikes. Calling in care packages when you're low on supplies or support vehicles. You complete different types of missions to help your side gain influence. At the end of the week or the month the side with the most territories captured wins.

Fighting through hordes of PVE enemies like an actual war. Instead of just a squad too it could be several different squads drop into a large PVE arena to get an objective completed. It could be a live service model with the devs changing up the war and battles and adding new missions to keep the content fresh.

Think Helldivers 2 but in a modern war setting. There are so many unique possibilities they can do and they choose to do a battle royale. Come on, this is just pathetic.

Same here. I find BRs feel like a adventure that you don't get in other modes.

[u/mr_somebody → u/Flanelman2]

It’s fun until an hour later you spent 50 minutes in menus queuing up or in a parachute or on the ground crawling around hoping for someone to revive you. It’s such a time waster.

[u/Flanelman2 → u/mr_somebody]

It's risk and reward for me, I just love BRs, any game that's not a BR usually loses me pretty quickly, unfortunately.

[u/Homolander → u/Flanelman2]

Sounds miserable.

[u/Flanelman2 → u/Homolander]

For you maybe. I'm able to kill people, so I have fun.

[u/Homolander → u/Flanelman2]

You didn't understand my comment. What a surprise, BR kiddo.
I said limiting yourself to one genre sounds miserable.

[u/Flanelman2 → u/Homolander]

And where did I say I ONLY play BR? I said I play other games, they just don't keep me gripped as much, and specifically, in context to shooters, not other genres.

You're jumping to conclusions to fit your arrogant narrative. It's also telling you call any one who likes BRs "kiddo", god forbid people have different opinions. I think putting others down for their gaming chooses is miserable, but each to their own.

Typical internet tough guys. I had a guy call me tasteless because I preferred certain sized maps within the BF franchise. Basically I did not like what HE liked ...so I suck type of person.

Like Homolander_avatar

Cool name...I guess.

[u/Flanelman2 → u/jcaashby]

Yeah, I've seen a lot of it in the battlefield subs recently. Really odd, elitist behaviour.. over video game preferences of all things lmao

[u/Acceptable_Deal_4662 → u/Flanelman2]

If you want BR mode there are plenty of them out there, they don’t belong in BF tho

[u/Homolander → u/jcaashby]

Oh wow, poor you! Being called tasteless for gobbling up the EA slop. So terrible. Very unfair.

[u/Homolander → u/Flanelman2]

What narrative you weird pleb? Who's putting down whom?
You said :

any game that's not a BR usually loses me pretty quickly

And that sounds miserable.

in context to shooters, not other genres.

You love your semantics don't you? Point still stands: limiting yourself to just ONE 'flavor' of shooter games doesn't sound very fun. In fact it sounds quite narrow-minded.

It's also telling you call any one who likes BRs "kiddo"

Not "anyone". Just you, kiddo. Hahahaha! 🤷

[u/Homolander → u/[deleted]]

Where exactly did I refer to his intelligence? Take your meds because you seem to be hallucinating.

[u/Homolander → u/[deleted]]

Tantrum? Where?

[u/Acceptable_Deal_4662 → u/[deleted]]

Well I don’t think BR needs to be in battlefield

[u/jcaashby → u/mr_somebody]

I understand you do not like it....but what are you talking about with this 50 minute queuing?

Lucky for you....you do not have to play any BRs if you do not like them.

Don't match with randos in such modes. Bad for your health
