There was some surprise when DICE/EA announced that the next BF game to follow BF4 would be titled “BF1”. If you were responsible for naming BF games, what would you have titled BF1? I think I would have continued the numbering and titled the game “BF5”, simply for the sake of consistency and continuity. ---

BF1 is fine. It’s not like anyone previously called the first BF game,1942, BF1 so I think it fits. ---

Battlefield 5. Duh! What were they thinking? Good luck with figuring out what their next title will be. ---

No one in the history of planet earth has referred to BF1942 as BF1 ---

No, calling the BF game that comes after BF4 “BF1” is confusing. ---

> [@Lordmang4](#): > > No, calling the BF game that comes after BF4 “BF1” is confusing. Confusing? That’s a bit of a stretch, isn’t it? I know you can read and write, so I’m assuming you said that for affect. Or, you’re projecting what some dullard can’t figure out. Either way…c’mon man ---

> [@Lordmang4](#): > > No, calling the BF game that comes after BF4 “BF1” is confusing. Not when it’s attached to WW1 because they flow together. If it was another Vietnam BF and they called it BF1 I’d agree. However when 1 is in the name of the war the game is based on I think BF1 fits. ---

Battlefield Genesis. The premium version would be called Battlefield Genesis: Phil Collins Edition 🙂 ---

Yes, because BF3 is based on World War 3 and BF4 is based on WW4. /sarcasm ---

So based on that astute logic, the next BF game after BF4 (regardless of time period) should be… BF5. ---
