The developer of Battlefield 6 has stated it wants to make the most of next-gen technology. That's probably best done by focusing on large-scale game modes like the teasers from EA Play hinted at. The latest consoles will really be put to the test with persistent deathmatches and king of the hill modes, with huge teams of players fighting on the biggest battlefields that the consoles can muster. In battle royale games, the map intentionally shrinks as player numbers are fundamentally limited. Assuming Battlefield 6 wants to emphasize itself as the next generation of Battlefield , a battle royale mode doesn't necessarily highlight next-gen consoles' rendering capabilit
Battlefield 6 has a lot riding on it, as EA is investing a lot of time and resources into the title. The game will unite a handful of EA's top developers, all of whom are contributing different things, such as a potential battle royale . It's also set to be one of the most ambitious titles in the series to date with a reported player count of 128 players and a high level of dynamic destruction. After Battlefield V was met with underwhelming sales and reception, it's likely EA decided to go all-in on this new title to ensure the series doesn't begin to develop a faltering reputation and get left behind. It seems EA will even be going out of its way to try and showcase these big, ambitious changes to the public sooner rather than later in an effort to right some wro
Lots of shooter fans probably remember the battle royale explosion from a couple years ago. It started with PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and expanded from there. There's lots of games known chiefly for battle royale action, like Fortnite and Apex Legends, but a lot of established franchises like Call of Duty added battle royale modes to capitalize on the craze. Battlefield was no exception, but Firestorm wasn't a huge hit. Fortnite was already out by then , and Apex Legends came out a short while later. Firestorm got some praise for creativity, yet failed to draw in players from its well-established competit
EA has confirmed that Battlefield 2042 Ranking|Https://Battlefield2042Play.Com/ _ _6 will be getting an alpha sometime this year, and that it'll be coming sooner than previous titles. EA made the announcement via a blog post that outlined the status of the highly anticipated shooter, noting that it's shaping up to be something truly incredi
Battlefield 6 will face exactly the same kind of competition if it tries to do another battle royale. In fact, it could do much worse than Firestorm, considering Apex Legends and Call of Duty: Warzone have had more than a year to stake a claim in the genre. There's just not much point in Battlefield 6 trying to muscle in on that turf if it's not completely devoted to the genre. Split focus between game modes will make it harder to ensure a theoretical sequel to Firestorm is special enough to make a dent alongside the battle royale giants. Theoretically speaking, DICE has better things to focus on right
That's especially hard to guess considering how much Battlefield 5 was expanded post-launch. There's tons of game modes and other content that DICE added, including a battle royale game mode. Battlefield 6 's developer will surely consider every aspect of the last game, but it should drop Battlefield 5 's Firestorm battle royale. That might seem counterintuitive, since battle royale games are still going strong right now, but it's not what Battlefield 6 needs to succeed. There's too many possibilities available to the game that would go to waste if DICE focused on making another battle royale m
While DICE supposedly has big ideas for Battlefield 6 , not everything needs to be new and ambitious. Battlefield 3 boasted features that worked incredibly well, with the game's take on the „Rush“ mode being one of them. Tasking one team with the defense of two M-COM stations, and the other team's goal being destroy the two stations, the mode was simple enough. Attacking players had a limited number of lives or „tickets,“ and if the team on defense wiped them out, the match would be o
There's also merit to the idea that both Battlefield and Call of Duty could potentially be very similar this year, so announcing Battlefield earlier could divert attention. Rumors surrounding the next game's development have hinted at the Battlefield series' return to a modern day setting . Considering the latest Call of Duty featured an 80s/Cold War setting by Treyarch, there's a high likelihood that this year's annual release is another Modern Warfare entry alongside 2019's reboot. That means two very similar modern combat shooters could potentially be releasing in the same year, so EA will want to get out in front of a potential Modern Warfare 2 to gain momen
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
