It was only a matter of time, cue Activision to do this next with Call Of Duty. I think DICE could do a great job and bring some control/ polish to this style of online play.

posts news as their odd job
It's already been rumored that BR mode may be a part of Black Ops 4: https://kotaku.com/sources-next-call-of-duty-wont-have-a-solo-campaign-m-1825338768
Personally I think Battlefield is more naturally suited for a BR mode than Call of Duty.

I agree with you fully, I also felt that Battlefield is more suited for it over Call of Duty. Red Dead Redemption 2 will also have a PubG/ Fortnite inspired Battle Royale mode, its like discovering "capture the flag" mode for the first time, now everyone is off to the races with it but I think Battlefield will do it best.

Fucking dumb.
Hate it when a game mode/type comes out and every damn studio needs to hump the legs of the cash cow like a rabid dog.
Focus on what you're good at, please the fan base and let those games that are in the lime light have their 15 minutes of fame. Because if you burn your loyal fans and can't compete in the new arena because everyone is already settled into what they like then you have just sunk your own goddamn ship.

Dunno about a Battlefield BR, but I could go for a Battlefield 2 (2005 PC) type experience with the scope of Ghost Recon Wildlands with a large multiplayer limit.

They better hurry up. They can seriously dent PUBG's market if they do.
There is another PUBG clone, Ring of Elysium, by Tencent that is actually way better than PUBG in terms of not being clunky.

Or a Highlander Battle Royale. Can't go wrong with a tag line of, "There can only be one".

It’s Fortnite’s market now. PUBG is yesterday’s news at this point.

As long as it doesn't take away any of the classic game modes and doesn't become the main focus of the game I'm ok with this.
I'm kinda curious to see what's going to happen to PUBG once a more polished, content packed and optimized BR game hits the market (You could argue that's Fortnight but in terms of style and setting Battlefield is obviously closer)
It's coming. But instead of guns they just drop 30 players on a randomly generated mall and the first one to find Jason wins. Instead of weapons you unlock different types of voices and ways to call Jason. If you are unlucky you just get a rather quiet "Jason?" but on a good run you might get the classic "JASON!!!"

Sand storms are already in the game, so the tech exists

You mean like paladins battlegrounds? That's 2 out of 3.
I don't play BR games but i'm sure dice could do something interesting with it.

Everything about Battlefield from the engine to the controls lends itself to a really particular kind of multiplayer experience. The more they try to adapt it to other trends, the more the whole suffers. The key is to keep things in line with the spirit of the franchise. I thought team Deathmatch was horrible in Battlefield 3 but Squad Deathmatch was cool in BFBC2, where you had four small teams going at it with a tank up for grabs in the middle I don't know if they could do something similar with battle royale.

Agreed. Let the pro's make this mode and own it. Battlefield would be amazing and look gorgeous

In terms of Battle Royale, yes, but Fortnite is dominating because of its arcade casual nature. PUBG is still in that realistic shooter market, and if Battlefield takes over, it would be hard for PUBG to really keep their audience. I can already imagine Battlefield really taking a chunk out of the BR space because Battlefield is mechanically not clunky as shit like PUBG. If EA makes it free too, then it'll be a real contender. I doubt they will though lol.

What's the setting for Battlefield V?

Thinks mods influence posters politics. Promoted to QAnon Editor.
Battlefield will crush PUBG if it gets BR. Better engine, more talented devs, more platforms. It will be a question of price that dictates the player base size. BF games tend to get cheap fast, but if they can offer a stand alone version it will be huge.

Good, we need something polished and I'm not a fan of Fortnight. Don't understand all of the negativity if they are looking at it as a game mode and not supplanting the normal modes. A great new BF with conquest, tdm, and battle royale? Fuck yes, sign me up. There are so many variants/things they could try with the formula, could easily be the best BR game.

It's funny because PUBG is using Unreal Engine 4, which Fortnite is obviously using too, but they decided to emulate ArmA 3 as much as possible for some reason, and ArmA 3 is so clunky.

and it (supposedly) still has single player unlike black ops 4. I bet if dice got rid of the the sp, no one would bat an eye

I dunno if you guys know, but there is actually a Call of Duty Battle Royale mode available right now, but only in China. It doesn't look too bad, basically an arena fight where you need to pickup a gun, but this is spreading more rapidly than the Black Death. 20 years ago everything had to be a DOOM clone, 10 years ago everything had to be a cover shooter, now everything has to be a BR game... so I suppose it kind of makes sense.
Mr. Grumpy
Grumpy see, Grumpy do.
It obviously depends on the implementation but it could be a really good fit for Battlefield, I've always imagined what the game would be like with loads more players on the battlefield.
I suppose it could end up in their next Star Wars game too.

When I first started playing PUBG on pc in the early days I couldn’t help but think what DICE would be able to do with this mode, mainly because of the bad optimization, terrible graphics and animations at the time in PUBG (its gotten much better). I can see an amazing BR game in a BF4 setting. Same guns and abilities, same mods and even some of the same maps. If EA just released a standalone version for $30 they would kill it.

Yeah, it doesn't look abymal and framerate is solid too.
As for Battlefield, we all know EA was working on something in that vein, Ubi is working on something too. Maybe a rainbow six style game. At this point I wish we could have another MAG though.......

My PUBG GAME crashed again! No other game does this on my pc. BF BR can’t come sooner.

With all these Battle Royale games is someone going to make an actual Battle Royale game, ya know as in based on the book, movie, manga?
EverydayBeast
thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Nothing to lose here by having an extra game mode.
