Battlefield 1 has to distort World War I in order to succeed, but let's not forget that fact.
For DICE to succeed with its next game, it has to return to the roots of the franchise. Atmospheric map design, clear and defined class-based gameplay, attention to detail, and total chaos. Battlefield 1 feels like every rock, every glint on your sniper rifle, every falling brick from a collapsing church, has been painstakingly considered. So much care went into the design of the game, from its soundtrack to its costume department. To stand a chance alongside the behemoths of Treyarch and Infinity Ward, DICE needs to recapture what made their old games so brilliant, otherwise it’s all over.
"DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 3 In The Next Game"
/Fixed
...on a serious note, DICE needs to remove the Battlefield name.
Eh, bfbc2 was the peak for me, only ad dogfighting and the accommodations that come with it. Every BF after that was such an unsatisfying progression system for weapons and gear for the classes, 90% of the guns feel exactly the same when you unlock them, just felt boring in comparison. Not to mention the gimped destruction as the series progressed
I found Battlefield 1 to be overrated. The gameplay was simpler and less strategic than its predecessors. Battlefield 1 did have a woo-factor, but the gameplay got repetitive faster than Battlefield 4 in my opinion.
If DICE needs to return to the roots of the franchise then why would they look at Battlefield 1? BF1 is overly simplified and streamlined. What DICE should focus on is Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2. Those two games were the pinnacle of the franchise.
Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.
Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.
I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them
Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.
EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here
if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.
Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.
Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

Grabbed Panzer Dragoon, the Darkness, Conker Reloaded, Burnout Revenge, Time Splitters 2, Fight Night Champions, and Stuntman Ignition.
Essentially some of the classics that I can't get on PC, now that I have a Series S.
This feminist and racist sympathizer should review the word "fiction"
Why i should trust them....
Its not cod
(And yes i gave up reading this article)
The article really should be called "Why You Shouldn't Trust Battlefield 1 To Explain Everything" because, apparently, that's what she seems to be lamenting. Though I understand the want for her to get people to see what this war was about and all of the nuances involved, I don't think this is the proper medium to address ALL of that. Hell, books and movies can't even do that. (unless it's a historical reference completely about WWI) Games are meant, primarily, to be fun first and foremost. If you can teach a thing or two along the way without killing the fun...so be it. But, it's not really the job of a mass market FPS to tell the complete story of WWI. That's for historians, documentarians, museums, teachers, professors and the like. Or, as the article ultimately hinted...become interested and do your own research. Anything else is truly asking WAY too much of any game.
" World War I was incredibly boring" ... This statement just has me laughing. I guess the author was right there in the trenches fighting and has first hand knowledge.
Edit: My point is just because what you read in history books didn't sound exciting and reflected long drawn out confrontations doesn't mean you cannot create and make a compelling, exciting game of the topic. If we based our views of what would and wouldn't be a good game on history then games like Red Dead Redemption would have been totally boring and mundane filled with lots of hard work as that was the reality of the early west according to the history books.
Nobody wants a history lesson when playing games. As long a s the game is fun that's all I care
