No disregard that ^. Maybe 1942 is the spinoff to BF1 like 2142 is the spin off to BF2 ---

I’ll say what I said before. Battlefield: The Great War feels more appropriate to what is being done here. And, shows the respect to the war and the timeline then just giving it a 1. It was _Thee_ Great War. And should be known as such. ---

Reminds of this “reboot” trend that EA is doing with some games (Mirrors Edge Catalyst,Need For Speed). All in all it makes me feel wary b/c of how the Need For Speed reboot was at launch. ---

Ehhhh, personally not a fan. Would have just preferred “Battlefield” or “Battlefield 1914.” ---

With a title like “Battlefield 1914” it feels to subjected to just that year alone. At least that’s my thoughts. ---

I laughed at the name at first, but I’ve come to like it now. I was the same with the Xbox “One.” ---

> [@Turbo\_Siats](#): > > to promote the X-Box 1 If that was the case, why wasn’t Star Wars: Battlefront named Star Wars 1? If I recall correctly it was also given the early EA access on XBOX One. What you are saying doesn’t make sense to me. ---

The name “Battlefield 1” its fine, but i really dont care. I only want to play the game, the name does not matter… only it has “Battlefield” on the game cover im good. XD ---

I like the name a lot and can see why they chose Battlefield 1. I’ve never been a fan of long names for games, because when you bring them up in discussion you premise your comment with, While playing BFTGW and it just doesn’t look good to me. Also, I think the reveal of Battlefield 1 showed a couple things. First was clearly going back in time to WW1 (imo the furthest you can go back and make an enjoyable online video game for the franchise). Secondly, the reveal made it seem like the franchise was going back to its roots and sort of starting over. It just all seems so new and fresh and I think Battlefield 1 is the perfect name. ---

Don’t care for it to close to Xb1. In addition to the whole early access with Xb1. I seen a mod say he doesn’t get the thought process. Really? Anything with a 1 tacked on at the end with marketing geared towards Xb1 is going to get associated with the system. ---

It’s like Xbox when it comes to naming nowadays you need to be clever not “Oh, I have an idea let’s mess up the order and name it Battlefield 1.” And to be honest Abbreviating doesn’t matter to me it’s how it sounds when you say the full name itself. Not the abbreviations. ---

I was expecting BF5. But some saying it being WW1 BF1 kinda sounds about right. ---

They choose Battlefield1 to ‘suggest’ it goes back to core mechanics. battlefield 1914 would sound to certain people that it is a boring game with boring old weapons ---

I like the idea, but it’s a dumb name to use. What are they going to call the next one? Battlefield 2Again? They should have went with Battlefield WW1 or something so it doens’t collide with Battlefield 2 if they decide to do WW2 theater. ---

What happens when the next game be called BF2? Will it just be a remastered version of the old BF2 or be a WW2 game? Will be interesting. ---
