To make matters even more dire for the next Battlefield , Modern Warfare has a large map, large player count mode available, alongside one of the best battle royale games yet in Warzone . Battlefield 's claim to fame has always been the cinematic large map experience. While Modern Warfare may not be able to compete with the level of bombastic, intense scale and action that Battlefield brings to the table, it still has the core of Battlefield 's schtick as just another game mode in a much bigger package. Battlefield 5 did include a battle royale mode, but it was too little , too late. It did not innovate the formula, unlike Call of Duty: Warzone , which has evolved the battle royale format and taken it in new and exciting directi

Thanks to the success of games like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order , EA is clearly feeling ambitious about its future plans. Fans of its many properties will just have to wait and see how the company delivers on these ambitions once the PS5 and Xbox Series X hit shel

As a result, Battlefield 5 's Firestorm became unplayable for many fans of the mode , effectively killing any interest in Battlefield 's attempt at battle royale. So many other battle royales just offered more enjoyable versions of the same core experience, so players abandoned the experience. Though partially due to the issues with Battlefield 5 's core multiplayer modes, Firestorm also seemed to lose support from the developers as they shifted focus to fixing other modes. Lack of support from both ends basically let Firestorm die off without so much as a whimper, which is a shame because there were certainly good bones in its structure despite its many shortcomi

Wilson said in his opening remarks that the success of many games including Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order , Apex Legends (which is moving forward with a mobile release ), Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville , and titles out of EA Sports have positioned the company to continue growing and expanding into Asia. With particular credit given to Fallen Order and Apex Legends , EA has "generated record operating cash flow," a net revenue of $1.593 billion, over the last year according to Jorgen

Battlefield 5 was a disappointment for many fans of the beloved series, and it seems DICE is attempting to improve for its next installment by cutting its losses on the series' lukewarm return to the European front. Battlefield 5 players will be justifiably frustrated that the game never really got off the ground, and hopefully DICE and EA will have learned their lessons from their first attempt to bring a live service model to the series. In any case, owners of the upcoming consoles will have a marquee title to look forward to when **Battlefield 6 ** releases next y

Perhaps the worst thing now is Battlefield is dealing with an identity crisis. Being the gritty simulatory modern combat experience Battlefield is known for just isn't enough. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare does that, but also backs that with the characters like Captain Price who make the experience more memorable. Not only that, but Modern Warfare 's version of Ground War essentially became a version of Conquest from Battlefield , minus the destruction. A lot of what made Battlefield special, Call of Duty is now doing even bett

Battlefield 5 , the most recent release in the Battlefield franchise, is ending support this June, with Battlefield 6 confirmed to be on the way. Both Call of Duty and Battlefield have recently revisited World War 2 as a return to each franchise's roots. Now it seems Call of Duty 's annual releases are shifting back to modern and futuristic battlefields. Either EA's first-person shooter will follow suit, or the franchise could once again carve its own p

A modern setting for Battlefield 6 is the most likely choice for a time period. World War 2 hype/interest died off pretty quickly after 2018, and Battlefield 2042 patch notes|https://battlefield2042hq.com/ 5 already touched on WW2 so the franchise will likely be moving on to something new. Some of the most popular Battlefield games like Bad Company and Battlefield 3/4 were also based on modern combat, so coming back to the 21st century would be a safe bet. Despite the trite comparison, it is worth noting that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has seen great success in returning to one of that franchise's most popular time periods as w

Nowadays similar functionality is available in newer Battlefield games, but it feels more like an add-on than a prominent gameplay mechanic. Sure, you can still make holes in walls with your favorite explosive ordinance, but it's generally in service to just converting a wall into a doorway. There's no more purposeful destruction like in previous Battlefield titles . A prime example would be Bad Company 2 's Arica Harbor map, which has a city section densely populated with buildings. On the second attack wave of Rush, the attacking team largely has no proper sightlines without damaging or taking down most of the buildings. The game literally encourages the attacking team to utilize destruction to open up the map more and force an advantage over the defending t
