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 this 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 is a good way for Battlefield to create some free marketing for a few reasons. Games set in modern times tend to stir up more controversy due to their portrayals of violence, which means more headlines and time on the news. That translates to more eyeballs and more sales, even if that was never the intention for those reporting on controversial aspects of the game. A modern setting is also bound to draw comparisons to Modern Warfare, which is another way to market the game without spending a penny on advertisements, as comparison videos are bound to flood YouTube whenever a trailer relea

One of the defining aspects of Battlefield since the beginning has always been destruction. The mechanics have iterated and changed over the years, but in more recent titles in the franchise, destruction seems to have unintentionally become less important. Games like Bad Company and Battlefield 3 used to employ destruction in a functionally relevant manner, making the mechanic an integral part of the environment design. Playing Rush in Bad Company 2 generally meant blowing holes into M-COM stations to breach and set a charge, or even take the whole building down if that's more via

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

If anything, the changes made in Battlefield 3 's weapon customization served as a basis for what was to come. At the time, Battlefield 3 's rival was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 , which was still utilizing its tried-and-true weapon customization that was introduced and refined in the previous Modern Warfare titles. Every weapon in that game was constrained to one attachment unless players selected the "Attachments" weapon proficiency that allowed for two attachments. Balance concerns likely would've been the main concern with allowing more than one/two attachments per weapon, especially in tandem with the perk selection in the game's multipla

Back in the day, the conversation for best first-person shooter often boiled down to two options: Call of Duty vs. Battlefield . It's the age old debate that's persisted since the seventh console generation. Unfortunately today, many would state that's no longer the debate. As the latest Call of Duty title sees plenty of success, the latest Battlefield game has ended its support with a dwindling playerbase. As Call of Duty prepares for another annual release despite some development trouble, Battlefield 6 eyes 2021 for the franchise's next en

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 2042 guide|https://battlefield2042hq.com/ 6 would do well to observe and emulate the freedom achieved with Gunsmith's implementat

Battlefield 6 is a next-gen game with a next-gen release date, with the game planned to launch sometime in the fiscal year 2022. That narrows it down to a launch window between October 2021 to September 2022. Traditionally, Battlefield releases in the fall with many of the year's other heavy-hitters, so, a fall 2021 release date seems like the most likely possibility. That means Battlefield 6 won't be competing with the next Call of Duty, it will exist in the wake of it and compete with the entry after that, which will presumably be from Sledgehammer games. The typical Call of Duty developer rotation has become a bit jumbled lately, as Sledgehammer's next Call of Duty has reportedly had a troubled development cyc

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
