DICE is hoping to but its flagship series back on top with the release of Battlefield 6 , and based on several rumors released thus far, it certainly could do just that. From a massive player count and taking inspiration from Battlefield 3 to a bold World War 3 setting , the next entry in the FPS series is poised to succeed — restarting the age-old debate between whether Battlefield or Call of Duty is the superior multiplayer shoo

Much of this depends on when Battlefield is initially announced. There's virtually no information on if and when a Battlefield 6 or new Battlefield game will be announced this year, despite being initially planned to release in EA's 2022's fiscal year, which means any time after March 31, 2021. Based on prior releases, the next entry will likely be a fall/winter release, but the reveal itself is a bit up in the air. Most would expect anywhere in the April/May 2021 range, but without a focal point like E3, marketing timelines for games are a bit more ambiguous now. However, one thing is clear: the next Battlefield is a serious mountain to climb if it's going to rival Call of Du

Call of Duty knows content is king. That's exactly why a new season for the game rolls out every two months, packed with new cosmetics, maps, game modes, and more. There is always something new to see or unlock, and that steady stream of new content every few weeks is what keeps players coming back for more. That kind of content production is only possible thanks to multiple studios having a part in each game's ongoing creation. Activision Blizzard knows Call of Duty is a huge money-maker , and they aren't afraid to make sure it stays that way by devoting as many resources as possible to each game's development and post-launch content pl

If DICE wants to make the best use of Battlefield 6 ’s supposed setting, World War 3 should live up to its name. Every side of the conflict should be given their own motivations, with no obvious "good guy" or "bad guy" to follow. The game's War Stories should show this, painting the United States as villainous in a Russian campaign while doing the same thing in NATO missions if this is indeed accur

DICE LA will be primarily responsible for creating content for the live service portion of Battlefield 6 . With the studio having already helped on previous Battlefield entries and now being helmed by Vince Zampella of Respawn Entertainment fame (the studio behind Titanfall and Apex Legends ), DICE LA is in a great position to help make Battlefield 6 be all it can be and help to relieve some of the pressure on DICE proper to create new cont

If the campaign is dropped entirely, the next Battlefield could launch with more unlockable outfits and weapons, new game modes, and far more maps than it likely would if War Stories are included. Beyond that, like Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 ’s Blackout mode, DICE can use the game’s campaign team and budget on making a quality battle royale mode. Improving on the groundwork laid by Battlefield 5 ’s failed Firestorm offering, while also making use of the supposedly battle royale-sized maps seen in multiplayer, a quality battle royale would see the community far more interested than a predictable campaign wo

Throughout all of Battlefield ’s War Stories , players learn of historical events through the lens of realistic fiction. While the characters themselves were made up, Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 5 ’s casts are based off real people and real events from their respective wars. As such, the stories are treated with care and taken seriously, with a clear tone of reverence throughout every cutscene of War Stories thus far. With this in mind, Battlefield 6 having War Stories simply does not make se

Reputable leaker Tom Henderson is claiming Battlefield 6 is going to kick things up a notch. The shooter will reportedly have up to 128 players in each match and bring a new level of destructibility. Henderson claims that Battlefield 4's popular "Levolution" system will be making a grand return. In Battlefield 4 , players could trigger scripted sequences that caused chaotic events like skyscrapers to come tumbling down. Battlefield 6, which will be set in the modern-day , will supposedly see that same concept but in a less scripted manner. Instead of the building falling the exact same way each time, it'll fall depending on how the building was damaged and targeted. In theory, this will make it a far more versatile and dynamic system, so players have to defend the entire building as opposed to just key target poi

With Battlefield 2042 Missions|Https://Battlefield2042Play.Com/ 6 supposedly boasting a massive 128 player count and seeing DICE incorporating some "crazy ambitious ideas" into the game, making sure that the multiplayer portion launches smoothly should be the only priority. Dropping War Stories to allow every developer to help with the game’s online modes could ensure a smooth launch, avoiding the performance bugs and netcode problems seen when Battlefield 4 launched. Battlefield is a series built on the large-scale warfare seen its engaging multiplayer, and DICE should prioritize that with this rele
