With a potential release window highlighted and another insider doubling down on the previous claims that said the game is looking good, the only question remaining is why exactly the two insiders disagreed on if fan approval of Battlefield 2042 DLC 6 ’s direction. While this is purely speculation, it could very well have to do with the game’s setting. Perhaps Battlefield is returning to the modern era just like the Battlefield 6 teaser hoax implied, leaving fans of the newer Battlefield titles and their World War settings disappoin

To no fault of the Battlefield series as a whole, the mode simply fell flat due to its lack of evolution/innovation in a packed genre filled with different takes on the core mechanics. Part of that was Firestorm shared a lot of the problems that Battlefield 5 had overall as well. Regardless, the mode fell by the wayside as other core Battlefield modes had continued support. Now Battlefield 6 is aiming for a 2021 release, and another version of Firestorm may return. If that's true, the series will have plenty of contenders to battle for battle royale supremacy in the next-generat

There are some key aspects throughout Battlefield 's history that have contributed to the franchise becoming a bit mediocre. Defining features like destruction are no longer emphasized in a functional manner, while single-player is consistently forced into the experience, despite often being an afterthought for players who love Battlefield 's signature multiplayer. Battlefield is having an identity crisis, one that's not easily solved. Battlefield needs to hone in on what made the series so special in the first place and emphasize t

Battlefield needs to reinvent its image , and that could be as simple as looking to the past to inspire the future. The Bad Company games in particular would be a good start, as these games never truly took themselves seriously. Even though Bad Company 2 eschewed a lot of the silliness from the first game, multiplayer in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was the right balance of simulation vs. fun factor. Battlefield could definitely use a dose of that nowadays, especially after Battlefield

Back during the peak battle royale craze, practically every shooter that wasn't Fortnite or PUBG wanted to get in on the action. While the explosion of the battle royale craze did spawn some awesome games like Apex Legends and Call of Duty: Warzone , there have been some that just didn't change much and fell flat. One in particular was Battlefield 5 's Firestorm mode, which fizzled out just as soon as it came

"Functionally" is the key wordthere, as later games featured destruction as more of a gimmick rather than a pivotal game mechanic. Battlefield 4 harkened back to this idea with its "Levolution Events" during certain Operations, but they were highly scripted and not as dynamic like the Bad Company games. The beauty of Battlefield: Bad Company __ and Bad Company 2 's destruction wasn't in the mechanic itself, but how each map was designed with destructibility in mind. Strategy for rushing M-COM stations in Bad Company 2 could change depending whether it was worth it to plant a bomb, or if it was more feasible just to take the entire building down. Bad Company 2 excelled at balancing environment design with destruction mechanics very well, a concept that's been lost on recent Battlefield ga

Lastly there's that secret sauce to differentiate another Battlefield battle royale from its competitors , which is something very hard to narrow down or articulate. Warzone has the Gulag to serve as a player's second chance in each match, Fortnite has its iconic building systems as a core gameplay mechanic, and Apex Legends has the hero abilities that players can utilize. Firestorm never really had anything special like that, in many ways it just emulated the base battle royale structure. Battlefield 's next battle royale needs a unique mechanic(s) like this to prove its difference in an enticing

Henderson’s comments on how "feedback from 3rd parties has been overwhelmingly positive compared to previous installments" should be extremely promising for fans of the series. While opinions will certainly vary on the game when it arrives, knowing that those who have had a chance to play the game early have enjoyed it is surely good news for the Battlefield community. Based on the positivity thus far, DICE seems set to deliver on Battlefield 6 's ambitious ide

As a result, Battlefield 5 's Firestorm became unplayable for many fans of the mode , effectively killing any interest in Battlefield 's attempt at battle royale. So many other battle royales just offered more enjoyable versions of the same core experience, so players abandoned the experience. Though partially due to the issues with Battlefield 5 's core multiplayer modes, Firestorm also seemed to lose support from the developers as they shifted focus to fixing other modes. Lack of support from both ends basically let Firestorm die off without so much as a whimper, which is a shame because there were certainly good bones in its structure despite its many shortcomi
