Most of us by now all know we are going to get a campaign but this time, a kind of new and special one.
From all of the information that i´ve gathered I know the campaign wont follow one single person or group but different people from all across the globe. I´m going to tell some of my speculations and ideas i would like to include into Battlefield 1.
First of all my speculations is that their will be around 13-14 missions and stories that we will follow. Why I picked those numbers is because I think the campaign will be around 8-10 hours long. Here is the length from the 3 recently Battlefield campaign games including Battlefront (Because it was made by DICE and was there recently game).
Bf4= 7 missions= under 6 h= 50 min each mission
bf3= 12 missions= over 6 h= 30 min each mission
Bfh= 10 missions= More than 7 h=42 min each mission
Battlefront= No campaign but 5 short missions= around 30 min long= Around 5 min each mission but it depends.
As you can see here the average time to complete a mission in battlefield 4,5 and h is around 41 min. 41 times 13 is that and 60 and we land on a campaign with around 8 hours. Then each mission is around 35 min. Then if they´re different characters we are going to switch around between that is actually an average rate of a mission for one character. Well 13 different character is´int that a bit too much and so many people to remember between and know who this certain person was again? That´s why i think they´re going to be around 6 characters we are going to follow and we are going to get 2 mission each for them. Why i also think they are going to be 6 characters is because I think the mission is going to take place in all over the world. One character in west Europe, one in Italy, one in London, one in Africa, one in the middle east and maybe on at the sea. If they are less characters they are going to have less environments to play with because i don´t think one character will go from Africa to London all of a suddenly just to variant different places. No i think they are not gonna have few characters. But what about more and maybe over 6 person to follow. I don´t think it either. They don´t want two different characters in Africa for example because the other one had already been there. Also it would be boring to play two characters in the same environment when there is a lot more to pick from.
I also want to point out that these missions is going to be the same as only in battlefield moments what i´ve heard. So probably we are going to have historical battles that the soldier you´re playing as is in. Then during the next mission you´re another solider in this historical battle. This will make things more interesting and exciting. DICE will probably also mix things up with vehicles. This character is a tank driver and the other one is a plane driver and so on. Like maybe the first mission ends with a cliffhanger so you really want to play the next mission so you really are excited for the campaign. If all of this is possible i think we are going to choice ourselves which mission we are going to start with and to play the second part of the mission you will have to finish the first one.
It kind of feels like we are going to have these people stories and then at the end they will all connect together. But on the same time i don´t think so. if we are going to have different people with different skills in different areas on the planet. It doesn´t make sense for them to meet each other on a place on earth.
So what would i like during these missions. Well I really hope that this will include some history in it with history battles. That will make things so much cooler and you actually learn something and stuff that might interest you. The same as battle of verdun. That would be really cool to know you´re fighting there then something that says western Europe with nothing explained where and what took place there. And from what I can tell we are going to have most of the game during something historical because of the arabia pack, red baron pack, the different environments and different soldiers from all over the world.
What the campaign character maybe will be as. I think the different characters we are going to follow wont have a big relationship with us the players but more of what he went through and how the war was like. We wont care who he is and what he like but more of what he have experience.
Well, this is the end of my theory and ideas how the campaign will be like. If you have read everything then congratulations and thank you for reading this. Let me know what you thought about the text in the comments bellow and i´ll see you down there later.
I did this just because i wanted to share my thoughts and improve my english (I am from Sweden). If i have repeated anything or have misspelled sorry then. See you! /Sebastian
