Looks like 2025 is likely to be when the next BF is released based upon a recent earnings call.

Are we even getting another BF anytime soon? The former BF Director is gone and looks like they axe'd a bunch of folks,

I hadn't heard that. The whole thing sucks. That guy was only just brought in to turn the franchise around. Does not bode well at all.

If anything is guaranteed about the next BF game it’s that they learned all the wrong lessons about BF2142

I suspect he'd at the least have some kind of input?

Either way, I feel like this doesn't mode well for the future of the series. I guess I'll play Arma, Squad, Ground Branch, '86, Operation Harsh Doorstop, Grey Zone, etc...

Wasn't portal supposed to take the community that wanted to mod Battlefield? FWIW, all of these games are nipping at battlefields base of players... It's only a matter of time before they start competing beyond their core player base. Squad has come a long, long way.

Orv

I honestly don’t know what Portal was supposed to accomplish and I think EA didn’t either. Snippy jokes aside, Squad is good and ArmA is… ArmA and I don’t think the conversion rate of new players for either is going to come much from people who play BF over CoD, because of player count and vehicles. They’re pretty different things at the end of the day.

The other games are effectively vaporware or wildly ambitious and unlikely to deliver.

It's kernel level, so it should be much better than what BFV has previously been using

I haven't played 2042 in quite a while but I can't recall coming across cheaters. BFV was a cheater every 3rd or 4th game the last time I played

Yeah I played 1200 hours and I dont remember ever seeing a cheater. Points to EA where due if the anti-hack works well. Kernel-level anti-hack gets a bad name, but it's the only way to actually prevent cheating significantly.

Inspector Hound

I think it's a little low of them to restrict under barrel grenade launchers to one round and then stick in a mission to farm kills with it ok I Guess it's just grenades in general but I still think it's lame

e most of the "cheating" I see is clipping allowed by the map, or weird character movements allowed by a quirk of the controls.

I think I can count the number of flagrant cheaters I've seen on one hand, although one was a game with an entire cheater squad in a Hind instantly deleting everyone with the miniguns.

Apparently the hotness right now is to cheat with aircraft because nobody can figure out if it's an aimbot or one of those people that spends their every waking hour in a Nightbird.

edit: If you're gonna do a gimmick, do it well.

One day I'll get my wish and we'll get 2143.

Then the monkeypaw will curl into a fist and punch me in the gut.

2143 will be a hero-shooter, looter, GaaS with pay-to-win mechanics and lootboxes. Also they'll forget to add in Titan mode and make it Tarkov mode instead.

I no longer believe it. It took 4 bad Battlefields for me to finally learn my lesson, but it has been learned and I no longer care about FPS games.

Part of it also is <insert favorite battlefield> was a moment of time with friends that is harder and harder to recapture as everyone ages and accrues new responsibilities.
