Next Battlefield Is Being Built for the "Future" Says EA CEO

Electronic Arts (EA) CEO Andrew Wilson comments on how a former competitor is now building a Battlefield "for the future."

Basically a live service BF

[InUrFoxHole]

💯 what all gamers are thinking... and not liking

[DaCajun]

They keep breaking promises, Dice is not the devs they used to be. I remember during BFBC2 release DICE telling hiphopgamer, anyone remember him, they would never charge for dlc maps like other companies started to do. They didn't want to seperate the community, they said. Then they released paid dlc later for BFBC2, Vietnam maps.

[InUrFoxHole]

Lol, yeah I remember HHG. 🤣. Yeah idk man.. hoping for the best here.

[-Foxtrot]

Jesus man this guy

Everything he’s said about the next Battlefield just screams how tone dead he actually is about the franchise

He seems to be repeating the same mistakes

[excaliburps]

I am hoping that Zampella brings his magic and delivers an awesome experience.

Imagine if Respawn got Medal of Honor? And then they make a proper COD competitor with it? Daaaamn.

[Notellin]

He's one of the most overpaid and worst executives in the business

[RaidenBlack]

If making BadCompany 3 is not possible anymore ... Just make a new Battlefield 2 in 2024, ffs !

[isarai]

It doesn't matter what they call it, the current EA/DICE are not capable of making a decent battlefield game. Slapping "Bad Company" on it isn't going to change that

[isarai]

Sounds like a game made by an office full of investment bankers and data analyst

[badboyz09]

🤡

My friends got BF 2042 day 1 and only as able to get a refund on PS5 because of how broken the ame was that EVEN SONY WAS GIVING REFUNDS lol. Telling you now they arent BF fans anymroe 2042 was the last strike for them and me

THE GAME BATTLEFIELD as the long time fans remember from the glory days of Battlefield 2, 3 and 4 is dead.

I remember all the way back in BF3 days people said that in a couple of years it will be Battlefield vs COD on the top battling for dominion over our computers.

If not the next BF goes back to what made Battlefield the game it was (aka BF2/3/4) This franchise is dead.

EA knows it and after this.... If its not selling.
I would not be surprised the slightest if they put the whole franchise in the burner.

Im happy I got to enjoy this franchise in its glory days. I had 10+ years of great fun playing BF 2/3 and 4. Its sad that the franchise have turned into what it is now but it is what it is sadly.

[Chriswynnetbh]

I'm sorry but the glory days was 1942

[JEECE]

This is the problem with Battlefield fans. We all agree the series used to be good and that they got away from what made it great, but we can't agree on which old games were the good ones. I mean, for a lot of people on here "classic Battlefield" means 24-player maps on 360/PS3.

[CrimsonWing69]

Smells GaaSy

[MIDGETonSTILTS17]

People making it now clearly don’t understand why 1942 was great.

[JEECE]

If they made a game in the vein of 1942 right now, it would instantly become my favorite game. I also know it would struggle to maintain a player base without a progression system, gun unlocks, skins, seasons, constant updates, and all the other modern garbage that I hate but that other people seem to view as necessary for a multiplayer game these days.

[shaenoide]

Yeah so a GaaS...

[TheColbertinator]

EA blows

[DaniMacYo]

Don’t even need to see the next and already know where it’s heading. Definitely won’t be pre ordered this thing. Battlefield is no longer Battlefield.

[Rikimaru-00]

o gosh, lasers and jet packs. just go back to what make BF so good.

[Crazyglues]

Another faild Battlefield coming right up, Same Bull ishShssss they said last time, and the time before that, they are always Doing a new -insert fake marketing words here- a reimagined Battlefield with Smaller wider scope of close up fire fights with new gun dynamics and gun focus A.K.A gun lag...

Truth be told they have no idea what went wrong with Battlefield so how in the world would they be able to fix it...

I played the first ever battlefield back on Xbox -Battlefield 2: Modern Combat- and I have bought and played everyone up to present day / And I'm finally done, no more BS field for me... You guys really killed a good game. Maybe it was greed maybe it was stupidity, either way I know for a fact they can't fix the game. Bad Company 2 and battlefield 3 will go down as the last time Battlefield was Battlefield and was actually a good game.

[Chocoburger]

Translation: Micro-trash-actions and lots of them.

[Yi-Long]

No they're not. I'm sure they think they are, but I bet they're once again building some highly ambitious always online MMO GAAS monstrosity where teams of 500 people each can run, drive, fly, shoot etc on massive MASSIVE maps, and they'll call it Battlefield and assume it will be a major hit.

And, to me, that's not what I want from Battlefield. I just want medium-sized teams (24-32) on medium sized cool maps, playing short rounds (20-30 minutes) of 5-flag Conquest. That's it. That's all.

Not sure how that remains so difficult to understand for the suits at EA.

[blanka4545]

retarded field retired!

[ravens52]

Where can we email this guy? We all need to send a friendly email stating: THIS ISNT WHAT BF FANS WANT. THIS. ISNT. WHAT. WE. WANT.

[poppatron]

My goodness, how does such a vague ambiguous comment strike such fear and apprehension in my heart

[CPTN MITCHELL]

I played 2042 on the ps5 last night for the first time in 5 months and I deleted it in less than 5 minutes because of the input lag

[Themba76]

Yea the future model of gaming needs to go back to the traditional model you know how things used to be. Well at least larian studios see it that way

[Smok91]

Future disappointment
