Time can only provide that perspective to Need for Speed . Gameplay-wise, the series has been all over the place, with each release between Need for Speed: The Run and Need for Speed Heat making significant changes to handling, sense of speed, and other pivotal gameplay aspects. Mechanics in the last four or five Need for Speed games have basically been a testing ground for different gameplay styles, rather than a consistently improved driving model. Paired with narratives wildly differentiating from uninteresting to excruciatingly irrelevant, Need for Speed as a franchise has been anything but consistent in design, as well as critical/commercial recept
With the conflict essentially boiling down to two sides standing still and firing at each other while reloading wildly slow lever action rifles, it seems best that Battlefield avoids the Civil War. While there is fun to be had from Civil War simulation games , and DICE could play with history like it did during Battlefield 1 , it would be better to avoid the setting entirely. With no vehicles apart from horses and a massive lack of weapon variety, The Civil War is a poor fit for the franch
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
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
However, with rumors suggesting the Battlelog could be returning in Battlefield 6 , DICE may have realized how useful the feature was — and how integral it was for the game experience. Aside from players using the website for team ups, clan building, and discussion of the game, being able to track progress via Battlelog was an excellent tool for dedicated fans. Players could see leaderboards for several categories, how they were performing with each weapon/class, and much more. With Call of Duty: Warzone fans seeking unofficial third party stat trackers , there is clearly interest in a Battlelog-like system. DICE has the perfect chance to bring it back for battlefield2042play.com Battlefie
EA's been in a strange place the last few years, with its premier non-sports titles ending up on the backfoot compared to similar titles. Battlefield 5 's disappointment made way for games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare , and now Black Ops Cold War , at the mainstream first-person shooters. Need for Speed has been supplanted by simulatory and arcade-like experiences such as Forza Horizon or Dirt 5 . Ironically enough, EA even acquired Codemasters to expand its racing catalogue beyond just Need for Speed . Yet, while Codemasters will continue with its own independent racing projects, Need for Speed 's developer will assist in Battlefield development this y
Back in June of last year, murmurs of a modern day setting for Battlefield 6 began. Reputable leaker Tom Henderson told one fan that the latest game in the series will be set in today’s era of warfare, with industry insider Jeff Grubb backing up the claims. Since then, there have been no shortage of leaks for Battlefield 6 ’s modern day setting, with recent claims about the game’s time period being even more speci
With Battlefield 5 already covering World War 2, covering the same setting in back-to-back games would hardly gain much interest. While the era offers some of the most iconic locations, weaponry, and vehicles in the history of military combat, many if not all have appeared in Battlefield 5 . Further, the latest Battlefield title to take place in this era was not as well received as previous Battlefield games, with only Battlefield 5 ’s absurd easter eggs being loved by the entire commun
While innovation is necessary for long-running franchises like Battlefield , not every new feature introduced over the past several years has worked out. Battlefield 5 ’s Firestorm mode is a solid example of this, with the attempt to capitalize on the growing popularity of the battle royale genre failing to work in the game’s failure. Not only did the mode flop almost instantly, but it took time and resources away that could have been used on fresh multiplayer content. Ultimately serving as a final nail in the coffin for the fifth Battlefield game, Firestorm was just one of the most recent title’s ambition related slip-
