First off, no events in history. I don’t know what dice was thinking, but they definitely need to let the majority of the community cool off till they do a game set in historical event like WW2. Especially if they want to push more political garbage in the video game market.
But for the next battlefield title, it should be a fictional event with a huge amount of Mercenaries.
It makes sense. Mercenaries are male and female. They can have any custom uniform they want, and look as cool or ridiculous as possible, and have any weapon. From a fictional standpoint, Mercenaries are the best in FPS’s
It will also gives them a story for their battle royal mode (if they make another one before it dies.)
Also, we probably won’t see a single player because EA did blame that for low sales. But if they did, maybe set it in a universe where corporations take over, and use a lot of PMC’s/Mercenaries.
(I’m not apart of the creative team for storytelling, so I didn’t put much thought in a story.)
Or maybe do a WW3 where the ’s come back.
They dropped the ball with WW2, so it’s best to make up something.
Make it nothing like BFV, that would be a good start.
I rather they go back to a modern setting they’ve gone downhill with each release, except BF1 at least it had some fun as hell moments with elite kits hate them or not they spiced things up and allowed to push objectives aggressively when your idiotic teammates didn’t want to help, and it was one of the most immersive Battlefield games to date imo.
Hell make the setting WW3 for the next Battlefield…
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again (and ruin all my future profits from withholding this game idea but we need a new good Battlefield so here it goes) but SET IT IN THE 1990s!!! You had the falling of the Soviet Union, African Warlords all over the place, Desert Storm, Bosnian Genocide, etc., and you can even build up to the 90s by throwing in the Falklands and use some Battlefield conspiracy and make it something really cool. All I ask is that this idea get spread around and passed up to the executives to get some attention. It’s a fresh new idea that NO games are doing right now, it ties in global events and you can connect the dots however you please, you can make it mercenary style and just jump around or fight alongside the nations or even the alliances like NATO v whoever. It also satisfies the market because NO ONE wants anymore World War anything for a long time, no one is really into future games anymore, but a slight throwback could be what tips the scales. The technology isn’t too old that no one can relate, and it isn’t too new to where it feels out of place for the same reason. Most of the BF fan base grew up or was born not too too long after these events, and their parents definitely remember them, so they might hold special places in their own lives because of that. COD is dead, and this is the chance to bring back the AAA FPS that we’ve all known to come and love. Regarding the recent political and social events, modern military’s at the time already had integrated units and there was equality of the sexes, all be it not to the same degree as today. The campaign could be amazing, the multiplayer have a fantastic variety of maps, weapons, vehicles, cultures, and everything else, and they could even through in some battle royale to match the times (although going into a diluted market wouldn’t yield the best results). You could recapture the market share by even throwing in a cheap premium again, and bring back those community wide events we loved so much. I’ve ran this idea past my long time battlefield squad buddies and they all love it because it’s fresh and new and can revitalize the same love we all felt from BF3 and give us that same vibe again that put Battlefield and DICE on the map. So like I said before, please Up Vote this and spread this idea through word of mouth or however you can, get it to the highest level, and lets play some freaking Battlefield again!
I belive the cold war era was the golden days of the mercenaries, and it would be bada##, as they were fighting the USSR and Chinese maos and The che guevara Rebels in south America and in Africa..
Take two steps backwards with a lot of the novelty ideas that caused more gameplay problems from the last two games. Go back to modern (ish) era. Get people back on board.
