While DICE could simply drop War Stories in favor of a more traditional approach, it is hard to argue that Battlefield 6 having a campaign is necessary at all. Even more so than the Call of Duty series , Battlefield ’s campaigns are ignored by the vast majority of the game’s player base. While this is unfortunate given the time and effort put into a story mode’s creation, simply skipping the campaign entirely to save on resources seems like a wise idea. If this is done, DICE can instead focus on adding more content for what players truly care about: the multipla

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

Supposedly set in the purely fictional time period of World War 3 and covering fully made-up characters and battles, honoring men and women for their fighting during a war that has yet to happen seems like a disservice to the War Stories of previous games. Further, with the two clear sides in Battlefield 2042 missions|https://battlefield2042play.com/ 6 seemingly being NATO and Russia, there is a likelihood that Russia’s side of the conflict will not be shown. Beyond that, even though NATO is made up of the militaries from several countries, modern day warfare sees each side of the fight wielding similar gear and weaponry — instantly stripping away some of the style and gameplay diversity seen in previous War Stories. With all these problems likely to occur, dropping the story mode of the next Battlefield title seems like a wise i

A massive player count implies equally large maps, which also suggests the possibility of a new battle royale mode. While Battlefield 5 ’s Firestorm game mode was not received as well, it is still possible that DICE takes another shot at a battle royale for Battlefield 6 . With the subgenre's popularity not slowing down, something similar to the addictive gameplay that battle royale games offer will likely be implemented. Battlefield ’s massive maps could put DICE in the position of having several locations ready for the mode on day

DICE is hoping to but its flagship series back on top with the release of Battlefield 6 , and based on several rumors released thus far, it certainly could do just that. From a massive player count and taking inspiration from Battlefield 3 to a bold World War 3 setting , the next entry in the FPS series is poised to succeed — restarting the age-old debate between whether Battlefield or Call of Duty is the superior multiplayer shoo

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

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

Several reputable sources have said that Battlefield 6 will be taking heavy inspiration from the beloved Battlefield 3 , implying much more than a modern setting. The third Battlefield game placed an equal focus on infantry and vehicular gameplay, while also featuring maps that evolve as players progress. Standout locations like Damavand Peak and Operation Metro were both great examples of this, with the excellent Rush game mode moving players from one area to the next as the map progressed. Allowing for a variety of fun gameplay opportunities, such as leaping off a mountain to reach the next set of objectives, Battlefield 3 -like gameplay design is something to anticip

With the Modern Warfare trilogy wrapped up back in 2011, Infinity Ward’s return to the modern era saw the developer starting from scratch. Though characters like Captain Price and Gaz made a return, and more figures returned via the game's post-laucnh Seasons of content, the old story was left behind. In its place, a fresh tale was told, with this one focusing on the new character Farah and her country’s fight for freedom. Beyond just starting a new narrative, though, a new tone of realism was introduced, with action-packed missions like Modern Warfare 2 ’s Cliffanger being replaced with gritty and intense night vision raids. While some still prefer the classics, this new style worked well for fans, too, and it seems like Battlefield may be trying to pull from this succ
