Great news if it is to be true!

Take with them everything great with BF4 and remove everything bad with BF1 and it'll be great

Something to wash out the crap CoD rendition? Sign me up!

 

[Captured Joe]

Sounds promising.

So they skipped II, III and IV?

So they skipped II, III and IV?

Last one was Battlefield 1, not Battlefield I. So they decided to make it Roman because it's cool(?). Maybe they will have some sort of easteregg behind the letter V. Remember V for Vendetta for that.

Battlefield 1 was the 5th game in the franchise (not counting the spin-offs and sidequels), so this is confusing now matter how you slice it.

Nope, Hardline was the fifth we can say, after BF4. BF1 was the sixth. This is going to be the seventh. But franchise doesn't count it like that since there are Bad Company 1-2, 1942 and 1942 Vietnam, 1943, 2142 etc.. The very first game was Battlefield 1942 and it was WW2. So DICE named last game "1" because it was setting before BF1942, the World War I and furthermore there were no 'first' game. It's legit.

But seriously, I was expecting Battlefield Bad Company 3. They did historical game last time and I was hoping this time it will be modern themed. We will wait and see tho.

You conveniently omitted a qualifying clause from your quote.

 

[Cioss]

Sorry, you lost me here.

According to the guy who leaked BF1 and was correct about pretty much everything, this one is WW2, and DICE LA's next game (next year?) is BC3.

What may be of more interest to players is that the website US Gamer reported yesterday that the upcoming Battlefield will include cosmetic-only loot boxes, as 2016’s Battlefield 1 did.

That report is accurate, if a bit premature, say people I’ve spoken to. Two people close to DICE told me that, while microtransaction plans for the next Battlefield have changed before and will no doubt change again before the game is out this fall, the company is indeed hoping to stick to cosmetics.

 

[Radalan]

Maybe it's a 1800's game. I'd like to see them put telescopic sights on muskets.

 

[Cioss]

Ah, World War V is also an option. No one did that.

 

[Dystopian]

Battlefield Civil War where all soldiers carry colt repeaters and spencers. Albeit spencers were somewhat common, it should be the cavalryman's primary. At least if we are talking post 1863.

 

[Cioss]

Long story short: In May 23 game may be announced.

 

[Cioss]

Aaaand it's official. https://www.battlefield.com/news/article/battlefield-5-live-reveal-ten-things-not-to-miss

 

[Arvenski]

So what do ya'll suppose the setting will be for this one? WW2 this time (since we've done WW1), or back to a modern setting?

 

[Lumos]

Leaked info says it's WWII, and I'm betting on that.

 

[Cioss]

What about Vietnam? You see, they did it with Battlefield 1. It was WW"1" so that made sense. Did they choose V instead of 5 because Roman looks cool? The DICE I know is much more diverse than that. I believe it is Battlefield V(ietnam) but who knows?

Remember that the guy who leaked BF1 also leaked that 2018 Battlefield might be "a modern/cold war battlefield game" and people thought it was Bad Company 3. Vietnam and maybe more than a few years theme will be the next game?

I can't wait to see. Only 5 days left.
