WW1, Canadian protagonist, Vimy Ridge level. Let's go.

Spoiler

It's going to be an american isn't it

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

Not liking different time periods. WWII or Modern, otherwise no DICE. Of course though I am a sucker for anything DICE and will pre-order and buy the season pass day 1. Super hyped for tomorrows reveal.

 

[samn]

This is going to put IW to shame.

Until it actually launches and it's crippled for months by bugs and netcode issues. Fixed only when they dump it on another studio.

 

[legacyzero]

Im telling ya, its based in multiple eras. Im calling it. I called it days ago.

 

[The1Ski]

Could we be looking at some kind of alternative history scenario?

High tech in a WWI timeline? Time travel, I think, is a bit much. But some alt history stuff could be really interesting. I'm just not sure if it fits Battlefield.

 

[Odrion]

It's a novelty but that game is janky as hell.

I've only played post early access but it seems really solid and I haven't experienced anything I'd consider janky. v(o_o)v

 

[Evil Beaver]

I've got faith that what EA/DICE learned from BF4 and Hardline will be put to use to not screw the pooch

 

[Liquidsnake]

My uncle who worked at Nintendo has told me war stories you wouldn't even believe.

Yeah I hear you, some scary things about whats going down at Nintendo.

multiple time periods would really not work in a muliplayer game, it would be a complete mess in terms of player progression.

 

[FunkyDealer]

That low-poly collar. Looks like a ten years old game!

Spoiler

Yes, I'm joking.

I wonder if they'll sell me on this. I enjoyed BF4 but felt like I never played it enough to justify the high price for it and the map packs.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Imagine a Conquest battle set-up where each player chooses a load-out of vehicles and weapons from different eras. You could have a WW2 tank fighting an Apache gunship. It's a horrifying thought, multiple time periods.

i pretty much skipped battlefield 4...it was really nothing more than an incremental update to BF3 and the map design was so dull

 

[a916]

Multiple time periods could be really cool depending on the execution. Letting people chose what era to play in multiplayer would be a good way to cater to all sorts of fans too.

If by that you mean certain players choose one era, others a different one... then no. Fragmenting your multi-player base is terrible across the board.

multiple time periods would really not work in a muliplayer game, it would be a complete mess in terms of player progression.

Also complete and utter hell on the art department who now have less textures to re-use.

 

[Lakitu]

Balancing multiple time periods just wouldn't work, or if it did, it would take too much time. Ain't gonna happen.

 

[Drencrom]

Yeah, it's probably a better concept for singleplayer than multiplayer.

 

[Smokey_Run]

Multiple, meaningful time periods in a single game sounds like too much work to make any of it worth it IMO.

 

[OdysseusVA]

DICE already has enough trouble balancing as it is

Got damn, that would such an interesting take on MP. Different era weapons against each other. I wonder if we will see a campaign similar to BO1/BO2: flashbacks and moving through time. I'm stoked for whatever DICE has up their sleeve.

the next battlefield game is actually a sequel to darkest of days.

i've solved the mystery

My nipples.

you stole my answer.

kind of.

 

[LostDonkey]

please be current day, please be current day, please be current day

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Battlefield 4 is still playable.

 

[PopeReal]

WW I or bust.

 

[Schlorgan]

I proposed something similar in the other thread. Though my proposal also involved a cryogenically frozen B Company being woken up in the future and being sent back in time to fix stuff. :3

 

[Bobnob]

I would like it set in the round about present,after trump nukes the middle east all shit breaks out, warfare in a apocalyptic present setting would be mint.

 

[will341]

Yeah they were allowed to dump on CoD graphics. They were terrible and theirs looks great.

 

[LostDonkey]

Battlefield 4 is still playable.

I know, but I've levelled all my guns up and it's 3 years old now.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Battlefield PRIMAL

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Battlefield 4 is still playable.

And Modern Warfare Remastered is coming out this year too.

 

[mysocksarepink]

I'm absolutely drained from hype. What if the game is just some rehash? 😭



No. I must stay strong.

 

[Turkoop]

Im telling ya, its based in multiple eras. Im calling it. I called it days ago.

ok.

 

[k4n3]

honestly the thing that makes the most sense? why not all of them, no really do we need 40 assault rifles? why not 10 from each time period and for maps it wouldn't be that hard to have 3 or 5 set in another time just like the last DLC had near future theme

you could have WW2/MW/future all in one game and long as it has the same amount of depth as 4 it will be fine

 

[TimeEffect]

With the way they are hinting, it really seems like it's going to be multiple time periods.

Maybe the story (lol) will be some grand conspiracy fiction stretching across generations.

The fact that they openly say "it could be the past, or the future, you better be ready for this one!" seems to suggest that

 

[CertifiedFP]

Or it could be the ultimate troll and be the fourth mainline modern-warfare Battlefield in a row.

Spoiler

2143.

Hagard got lost in time

Time to send Bad Company to retrieve him

Found copulating with a T Rex

[Salz01]

It would be so awesome to go across several time periods. Everybody wins. Almost too good to be true.

YES. 5-7 weapons per class of weapon, per time period. Plenty of guns and unlocks for everyone, plenty of variety. Give it to me.

Eh, it just seems like Twitter BS to me.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I know it won't happen, but I'd like to see all DICE FPSes going forward give no penalty for firing from the hip like Battlefront.

 

[Xion385]

Is that the guy from Mr. Robot?

 

[Mindlog]

So....

?

That could be cool.

 

[MetalGearZed]

the last 5 Battlefields have been modern day. learn to share guys.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

Would love a game like total recall

 

[blacklotus]

If it's definitely focused on either of the first world wars, lack of destruction, at least ground manipulation like BC2, is simply not forgivable.

What if it's focused on the second world wars? or the third old Wars? Or the Old Old wars?


*really confused at what you mean*

 

[Bishop89]

Shadow is either a trex or a giant mech

 

[LostDonkey]

And Modern Warfare Remastered is coming out this year too.

You did not just put up call of duty as an alternative to that battlefield hit.

Shame on you.

well to be fair, its one of the good ones
