Battlefield 6 developer DICE is well known for its quality products. Even though its Star Wars Battlefront games garnered high-profile controversy due to truly unfortunate microtransactions implementation by publisher EA, the base experience delivered by the development team was always unique and polished. The thing that DICE gets right in both Battlefield and Battlefront is the cinematic experience: so many moments in these games provide a sense of scale, grandeur, and chaos that is unparalleled in any other

It’s undeniable that Battlefield 5 was the most disappointing entry in the series for many players, and both EA and DICE have a lot of work to do with **Battlefield 6 ** if they want to make up for all of its predecessor’s shortcomings. Hopefully, both companies have learned from the failure of Battlefield 5 and are able to revive hope and excitement for the series when they finally reveal more information on the game next y

Speaking of which, one of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 's final expansions was also based in Vietnam , so the potential is there. There also was a Battlefield Vietnam released in 2004, so there's a few sources in Battlefield 's history that DICE could use as a jumping off point for a new iterat

For EA, putting Battlefield back into a modern setting may also prove to be a way to win back some fans. Leading up to the reveal of Battlefield 5 , there was a large part of the fanbase hoping for a game set in modern times. This is in large part due to the freedom it carries with it. There tends to be a larger, more diverse arsenal of weapons to play around with, not to mention a better selection of boats, tanks, fighter jets, and helicopters, all of which lead to combat that feels like it's happening on a much grander sc

In a game like Battlefield , Gunsmith almost makes more sense to include than in Modern Warfare . Weapon balance in Battlefield has been spotty at times, but the expanded weapon customization introduced in Battlefield 3 compensated for that in a big way. If anything, expanding the systems that were introduced in Battlefield 3 and 4 into a Gunsmith-like system could help differentiate teammates/opponents from each other. Since every player picks one of four soldier classes, there'd be a lot of overlap between players' choice of weapon and equipment. Classes were constraining to a specific gameplay style, like how engineers were almost strictly close-range fighters with S

In order to stand up to Call of Duty , Battlefield 6 will have to take full advantage of next generation hardware for graphics and effects, amp up its sense of scale and action, revolutionize its own formula to blow Ground War out of the water, and offer a battle royale mode that applies the signature Battlefield flair to the most popular new genre of multiplayer shooter. The sense of scale should not be an issue- Battlefield 2042 Specialists has always excelled at making each individual player feel small in comparison to the planes roaring overhead, the explosions rocking the earth, and the hail of bullets whizzing past during each mad dash and brief, heroic moment. However, two main features will determine how much that matters in the face of CoD 's overwhelming popularity: an engaging and enduring setting, and innovation in signature game mechan

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

Battlefield 6 is confirmed for the PS5 and Xbox Series X , making the game an inevitability. While fans have long awaited a return to Bad Company, at this point Bad Company 3 is beginning to feel more like a pipe dream than a possibility. But, that doesn't mean that EA has to avoid the modern setting entirely. Battlefield 3 is still considered one of the best entries in the franchise to this day, and there are plenty of fans that would welcome a remaster of the g

With the launch of the next-generation consoles, it looks like EA and DICE are hoping to resuscitate the Battlefield series. In the company’s latest earnings call, EA CEO Andrew Wilson gave a few details on some of the company’s plans for 2021 and beyond. According to Wilson, the next Battlefield game is already in the works at DICE and features "never-before-seen scale." Wilson added that the next-generation consoles are giving the studio the opportunity to actualize their "next-gen vision" for the ser

Without a doubt, it'll be interesting to see where the Battlefield franchise goes next. There are plenty of possibilities as to what the next entry will look like, but another modern game feels like a good way to kick off the next generation of Battlefield games. There's been an incredibly long period of growth for the franchise, and while it's had its ups and downs, it seems like it may soon be headed in the right direction. Only time will tell, but fans should have something to look forward to on the horizon. It may be a bit before fans actually learn what that is, but, hopefully, it's something they've been waiting
