Class customization in Call of Duty was relatively simplistic when it was first introduced in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare . Where Battlefield used classes as a form of strategic team composition, Call of Dut y 's Create-A-Class system focused more on player preference than anything else. Battlefield would eventually implement some broader aspects of weapon/equipment customization as a result, but never compromised on its commitment to team strategy. Then, Gunsmith in Modern Warfare brought weapon customization to a new le

Quite recently, Russian industry insider Anton Logvinov shared a brief statement on Twitter claiming that Battlefield 6 is not what fans want, although it plays well. Judging by his subsequent commentaries, the insider hasn’t played the game himself while the information was probably coming from third parties participating in closed testing. Shortly after that, another industry insider, Tom Henderson, claimed the contrary stating that Battlefield 6 will actually be what fans of the series want . Interestingly, the source of Henderson’s confidence is pretty much the same as Logvinov’s concerns. According to those participating in internal testing, the game is receiving significantly more positive feedback than the previous titles. This reception makes Henderson believe that DICE is handling Battlefield 6 in a way that should satisfy f

Electronic Arts is planning to release the next installment of its first-person shooter franchise Battlefield on next-generation consoles in the 2022 fiscal year according to EA's Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen. The confirmation comes in prepared remarks from EA's 2020 third quarter fiscal earnings call by Jorgensen, Chief Executive Officer Andrew Wilson, and Vice President of Investor Relations Chris Evendan that were released Thurs

Used to be that Battlefield was further ahead of the game in terms of weapon and equipment customization than Call of Duty was. Back when the game came out, Battlefield 3 introduced a weapon customization system that wasn't constrained to this one attachment, one playstyle method that Call of Duty swore by. Battlefield 3 allowed three particular customizations for most primary weapons in the game: sights/scopes, barrel types like silencers, and under-barrel attachments like grips or launchers. The game also allowed more flexibility in primary weapon choice, instead of Assault classes exclusively using assault rifles or Support classes only using light machine g

Controversial inside scoops are most likely based on feedback from several playtesters whose excitement over **Battlefield 6 ** varies drastically from person to person. In other words, the tone of these leaks and claims depends on a personal attitude. Obviously, for a proper conclusion, the title needs to be revealed publicly, which will happen in spring 2021. Until then, there’s no reason to believe any of the reports - unless they are significantly solidified by specific credible informat

Older Battlefield titles like Battlefield 3 had customization that was the closest thing to Modern Warfare 's Gunsmith before it existed. Gunsmith emphasizes Call of Duty 's desire not to compromise player preference with improper balancing. Even though there's been a few examples of overpowered guns/class builds, out of almost 50 guns throughout the entire game, it's crazy to think how balanced the weapon pool is with Gunsmith. Battlefield 6 would do well to observe and emulate the freedom achieved with Gunsmith's implementat

With DICE supposedly having "crazy ambitious ideas" planned for Battlefield 6 , Wilson’s talk of unprecedented scale and the power of next-gen consoles seems fitting. These remarks accompanied the game’s release window, however, which sees the next Battlefield project lined up for a release during the 2021 Holiday season. While read this blog post from battlefield2042hq.com may be a good bit away, having a general idea of when the next game will be releasing should be comforting for Battlefield f

A modern setting for Battlefield 6 is the most likely choice for a time period. World War 2 hype/interest died off pretty quickly after 2018, and Battlefield 5 already touched on WW2 so the franchise will likely be moving on to something new. Some of the most popular Battlefield games like Bad Company and Battlefield 3/4 were also based on modern combat, so coming back to the 21st century would be a safe bet. Despite the trite comparison, it is worth noting that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has seen great success in returning to one of that franchise's most popular time periods as w

In the same "Prepared Remarks" section of the EA earnings report that announced the delay of Apex Legends on Mobile , EA CEO Andrew Wilson shared news regarding the next Battlefield release. Wilson said that DICE is hard at work creating the "next Battlefield game with never-before-seen scale." Wilson went on to say that the power of new consoles allows the DICE team to "deliver on a true next-gen vision for the franchise," with "play testing underway internally" and "positive feedback on the game" so
