Let's take a look at all the news and info PLUS some new rumours regarding a Battle Royale mode! Leave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching!
▶ Battlefield 2025 Is Doing Something Controversial..
I have no trust in the established triple AAA studios, they just don’t have what it takes to make a good game anymore. When games like Boulders Gate, Palworld, and Helldivers, shows you that a real game can still be made.
I will also like to add people coming from COD and Halo DO NOT inspire confidence in the creation of a new BF game. Also, if they are still using their fail frostbite engine that they didn’t spend the money to develop the tools necessary to create a fully functional game, then BF will still be shit. I hate being so negative, but that is the reality of it.
It's crazy that these established studios need to relearn "just make fun games and people will pay for them"
Lmao they're also companies and will fuck you over in the end. Indie or AAA it don't matter
With the state of the video game industry is going full rtded, I'd think nostalgia and preservation is our last bastion for us gamers.
BF1 is the peak Battlefield and they could just copy the formula and make bank but nope, they should evolve it but backwards
Lets be honest, what we really want is Battlefield 3/4 with updated graphics and updated movement systems to bring them up to date with todays standards. Can they deliver that? I dunno...
I guess we will see!
Would love to see a remake of battlefield 3 or 4 or even better a bad company 2 remake
@Westie I would love to see that happen. Battlefield 3 and 4 were some of the most fun I ever had playing multi-player fps and I miss the series. As a hardcore Battlefield fan, it's been a seriously disappointing last few releases. Battlefield 1 was very good and really a lot of fun, but I think the majority of players want a modern setting back
@SaltyPelican2218 man would I absolutely love a Bad Company 2 remake, just crouching in a bush because there wasn’t prone and sniping was so fun.
Plane and simple. ..that's it and it would kill fps competitors
If they have operators, im instantly out
Rumour is that Classes are returning 👍
Fr
rumor aalso said 204 was gonna be good@@Westie
@@LockheedC-130HerculesOfficial Rumor also said 2042 was gonna be good. @Westie* Fixed it.
Once I hear battle Royale, all of my hope for actual passion n freedom of work into the game goes down the drain
At this point it's a dying trend, it doesn't sell great anymore AND it alienates old time players. Wouldn't surprise me if they went the extraction shooter route, which would still show how disconnected the execs are.
Sick and tired of battle royales
Are people stupid if battlefield released a br it would take cods spot with the destruction gunplay and vehicle play which in turn woulf bring more people too their main game.... but thats too smart right
@@Dirtbiker359 they already tried that and it was a colossal failure
@@tyian6728 funny thing is cod did too weird what it does when its locked behind a full priced game
NO PREORDER
What Battebit showed us is there's an audience that wants Og battlefield back
Na stop with that shit, want the og shit go back to the og for people like you we are having a lots of remaster games which is a recicle game and we are all tired of that
Same with the finals and its destruction and helldivers with its non important characters and chaos and just plain fun
Been playing easy red 2 to scratch that og battlefield itch
Nope, graphics still matter.
@@Kollohv2OP was talking about Battlebit's classic gameplay, not the graphics.
Battlefield just needs to get back to it's roots and quit trying to be a different call of duty. Battlefield 4 dropped with 70 something guns. They also need to get back to the ways levels were built in those earlier Battlefield games with destruction. We don't need tornados. With them going back to 64 players I'm hoping that's their plan. The BR being free is great cause I liked the firestorm map.
And please no "operators" just a normal customizable soldier
@@homiespaghetti1522 exactly
At this point I’d be happy if they just remade bad company 2
@@Kody845 knowing them they would ruin it lol
What if they made a map with a tornado but the tornado left a random path of noticeable/significant destruction each round 🤔
Ive been going back to Battlefield 1 recently. That game is just so damn good.
Sucks that there aren't as many players in that game compared to BF5, which in opinion wasn't a good BF at all
@@spartan_a1176I had no problem with the gameplay in BFV, I did however have an issue with the fact that it didn’t feel like a WWII game.
@hazmatt3250 that's exactly my point and the devs talking back to the fans saying they are wrong and the Infamous " if you don't like it don't buy it " comment I think
The only things I would say bfv got right was the customization of characters and vehicles and the movement
@@AnthonyRodriguez-ic9dc that’s my least favorite part unlike BF1 you have this call of duty style movement mixed with the most unrealistic and goofy gun customization. Staying away from that stuff made BF1 special.
"back to its roots", "boots on the ground" the devs/press all say this and it means nothing
We just have to wait and see what they make!
"Love letter..."
Given the state of so called 'AAA' games, our default state should be to worry. I refuse to pre-order games and i won't buy live service games or games that pushes micro transactions. There are plenty of other devs that makes proper games for cheaper.
I forgot how many times i have been told everything i wanted to hear from these clowns at EA and dice past 10 years. I will be very apprehensive about this upcoming game. NO PREPURCHASE, and i will watch weeks after release.
Battlefield 5 Executive told me if I don't like it then don't buy it. I haven't bought a BF game since.
He is not wrong though. It‘s not the smartest thing to say as a developer or whatever but he is kinda right tbh. If you don‘t like something why would you buy it?
If I were at dice i would drop the whole Battel Royale mode a focus on bringing a improved Portal mode with the ability to make player customized game modes with the tools to make their own BR maps, it would give more power to the players to create their personnel experience and inspire others to make different game modes and most importantly enjoy the game.
I prefer a battle royale personally. I hope the next one beats call of duty Warzone because that has gone down hill
8:06 the bushes weren’t going to let him go, he’s theirs now.
Bush Wookie in life and in death 😂
How many times do they have to fail untill they realize they cant compete in the br market and start focusing on the main game instead?
Missed your battlefield videos
I’ve missed Battlefield 🥲
Battlefield BR........................"SIGH" Nobody wants it, nobody asks for it, we just want a good Batllefield game...................I dont care if its a separate free to play crap or what. Battlefield is not about being a BR or an extraction type game. Its just wasted resources that could be put to a Battlefield game that could bring back the franchise from the brink of it being dead completely. Calling it now...........Battlefield BR is going to flop hard. The new main BF game is also going to flop hard like 2042 or harder, articles will come out stating that resources were taken away from main game to make BR and thats why its such a mess, or something along these lines
It either flops or becomes the main mode for battlefield Luke what warzone did to cod
Ok.. the chills, that music at the end reminded me of my childhood the OG battlefield.. 😢
That music was beautiful, especially in BF1
Good video, I’ve heard bit and pieces of some of what you’ve said but it’s good to have someone have all the info in one video thanks
I just don’t see a world where bf2025 stays hype for more than a few months after release. Let alone gain the trust back from the players who got scammed
they just need to stop it with the live service nonsense already just sell me a complete game and let me play it.
They have waaaayy too many cooks in the kitchen. EA keeps thinking that adding studios to work on this is a fixall scenario, and I don't think that's the case.
Most big games these days are made by several studios 👍
@Westie I'd think that goes to prove my point. Look at the AAA industry these days, most of these big games are oversized, buggy as heck, creatively bankrupt, monetization funnels. BF isn't the only victim, just the one that hurts most
@jaskegoffii3968 This 100%. It's all about money for them. AA and lower is where it's at, you have small studios putting out so much better.
Haven’t seen a video from yourself in a while dude, you were my battlefield go to guy back in BF1 days. Here’s hoping the future lives up to the expectations!
I miss watching westie, jackfrags, AKA art, stodeh and levelcap’s battlefield content every other day. I have shifted to Hell Let Loose on console after BF2024
I am so sick of CODS bs I started playing BF 2042 on Sunday and I'm having way more fun. This is coming from someone who was absolutely hooked on dmz and now has accomplished all the stuff in zombies months ago with all the master camo grinds done. I feel like COD charged us for a game full of camo grinds.
2042 is fun until you realize the maps arent super good
Playing 2042 recently its certainly much better then launch but still a few shortcomings, I hope they change how things are unlocked, getting kills to unlock attachments and vehicles upgrades isn't very casual friendly, especially when some require 200kills just to unlock an extended mag. If it weren't for the AI mode unlocking stuff would be frustrating for someone like me who only plays a few hours a day and isn't sweating my booty off
😂😂 I did that too and it took quite awhile to get the attachments for the best guns in the game and cod is the same with this problem
Hope they keep the firestorm mechanic from bfv in this new battle royale. The wall of fire at the end of the match looked so awesome.
Really hope they hit a home run with 2025 I miss battlefield amd the days of bad company 2 and battlefield 3-4. I like call of duty but battlefield was always my go to. Thanks for the video looking forward to more battlefield videos in the future
Westie back with the battlefield content ?! Just made my goddamn day man :’) been with ya since the BF1 days and this got me hyped, no matter how little trust we have in EA, knowing you’ll be making more battlefield videos put a smile on my face, so thankyou for that!
With Marcus leaving its like you said it could be personal and have nothing to do with anything Battlefield related. Whatever he has going on I hope he can find happiness and can get through whatever issues that caused him to leave.
The concerning part is the "listened to you while i could" bit. Sorta implies that he was stopped from being able to listen to the community amd that might have to do with his exit.
What is the new in BR ?!!! Same shit . Nothing about the rental servers with full admin control like what it used to be in BF1942, Bf3 and 4
And still they try to ride the Battle Royal hype train who left the station years ago. There is enought Battle Royal. We need focus on a Battlefield.
Back in the Bad Company-BF4 days battlefield was definitely my preference over COD. Warzone is my primary social FPS nowadays. But a return to the battlefield roots like BF3 would be much cheaper welcomed.
I miss bf3 so much. Canals tdm was wild back in the day and dp rush man it was a perfect game to me
In Marcus Lehto’s tweet, do you think the words “whilst I was able” in “I want to thank the Battlefield community for allowing me to listen to you whilst I was able” indicate yet further unwelcome limitation and interference from above or just a cursory indication of time?
My opinion on so many developers working on the next BF is this: too many cooks spoil the broth
I think you’d be surprised how many developers work on games these days. It’s very normal to have several studios on the same title, working on different things.
@Westie rockstar games has like the most amount of people working on gta 6 and its insane
Im SOOOOO excited to see you and the rest of the squad back on battlefield We can all just hope and pray that dice pulls this off and make a good game
Personally would like to see five classes instead of four. Assault, Medic, engineer, Support and Recon, all with weapons and gadgets locked to each class. More dynamics to weapon and character customization, Eg you run slower with a larger weapon or equipping armored plating. Reload times vary depending on what you're doing, fastest reload when stationary, looking around 10% penalty and a penalty that increases the faster you move. Meaning staying behind cover and bunny hopping about the place will have wildly different reload times. I would be fine with keeping 128 players maps as long as they do it right this time, too few objective for the scale of the maps and i felt like they could've added in some bonuses to flags, Eg, capture C1, C2, C3 you gain an AC-130 overhead.
Battlefield theme is a masterpiece and i been playing 2042 since it relseased it way better now i have friends that play it. its good to see you doing Battlefield content again.
Didn't know Battlefield would have a crossover with Black Ops 2
I like you, Westie. You've earned a subscriber!
"More teams and developers than ever are working on..." I've heard that before. Based on 2042, quantity =/= quality.
I really liked BFV and enjoy 2042 (nonstop since launch)... to each their own I guess.
Hell nooo
I have hope! I believe they listened to the backlash and that's why they're taking a good long time to make it.
I hope they have listened to the community 👍
A single player campaign is no interest to me, i just want an online mode that works on launch day with lots of destruction.
As soon as he mentioned Battle royal my heart sank. I just hope it works alright with a lot of content going back to the battlefield roots come release day.
I think my wants from the game is to look at what made bf amazing destructive enviroments, do anything you want gameplay. Give us an awesome single player mode like bf1 then were sorted.
There hasnt been as much pressure on a company like EA with regards to the future of a franchise like there has with Battlefield. Like the next battlefiled must be a boom or bust
It's good to hear Westie being a bit more hopeful for the future of Battlefield 👍
Why is it that AAA games are taking increasingly longer to make, like ghost recon, it’s been 5 years, same with battlefield, same with farcry, and where’s all the sucker punch games, like its outrageous how many franchises have just been stagnant for 5+ years, and it’s almost been a decade since the Witcher 3, titanfall, and infamous games are just non present, there are so many options for great games and they are just left out by there creators
Bioware too. Takes AGES for the new mass effect / dragon age
It's not without reason why the big publishers have been laying off so many employees lately. With their profit maximization management structures, they have all found themselves in an entrepreneurial dead end from which they will not be able to get out any time soon. Managers only make games for shareholders instead of gamers for gamers. The future belongs to indie developers and rightly so. Gaming is still art...
We must all band together and DONT PREORDER the next Battlefield. They have to learn their lesson.
EA and DICE even fucked up the maps they already made that were perfect in BFBC2 maps.. I have ZERO faith that they know what they’re doing, they don’t have a clue what made Battlefield fun, absolutely brutal.
Thought they said FY25 which for EA ends in March of 25…
They should make an extracter like The Cycle. I think that would be an success
The guy they brought on from warzone; was he part of warzone when it first game out or in the latter part of warzone?
Wasnt ridgeline just closed down due to layoffs?
BF2042 was also hyped based on how many studios worked on it so nothing new here. Just wait to see what's the delivered product like.
I think I'd like 128 lobbies on battlefield just in a modern setting
Lehto was the art director during the Halo era so not sure how good his storytelling abilities are. Though I Battlefield campaigns have been so dull that maybe he would have been able to make an interesting one.
Did you get invited to Stockholm for the season 7 playtest this week Westie?
No, but I’ve not been making Battlefield content do I didn’t expect to be. Hope Season 7 continues the 2042 revival 👍
All I know is the next Battlefield title will need to be on the same level as Battlefield 3, 4 and 1 to gain any of the old fans back, on top of keeping the new ones. It’s a long shot and something I unfortunately don’t think can be accomplished but it’s something I want to see happen.
Imagine a Battlefield BR with Levolution luke just Imagine seeing a skyscraper collapse or even a bridge collapsing and killing a sqaud now that woukd be sick but I don't have high hopes for that ever being a thing
Been saying it for years. Bad Company 3 could fix everything... But it's like EA/Dice just don't care.
Once they tried to be call of duty it was a wrap. There is still no great weapon play in the game. They need to revisit bf3 and build off of that model.
BF3 was created as a direct rival to COD. Faster movement, urban maps with CQB combat, faster sprint speed, better weapon customisation, an entire DLC called “Close Quarters” etc. 😁
But what happened to the weapons? Every weapon felt so distinctive. Plus the bullet suppression effects when you received gun fire are needed back in the game imo (I know people hated it). They need to eliminate all wall hacks imo. I am fine with audio and visual "clues" but these wall hacks suck.
Battle royals aren’t dying but the market is very saturated and only the best of the best can break into the market. I don’t want halo or battlefield to radically change their formula and waste a lot of time and resources on a br.
Its actually insane how far the battlefield franchice fell, considering the insane amount of hype there was before the game released
I think the main reason the battle royal is so popular is because all of the most popular games are free to play. If we got a game like Og battlefield free to play it would take over and if they put one or two more war or looter shooters type games the gaming atmosphere will change I think most people want that but they just are stuck.
It's worth mentioning that multiple studios working on a game isn't always a good thing. While yes a lot of devs working on something is good, multiple studios can lead to a lot of communication issues and disagreements. One example is the modern MW3 game which was made between Activision, Sledgehammer, and Infinity Ward. And iirc infinity ward caused a lot of issues for sledgehammer due to lack of communication
I personally enjoyed Firestorm a lot, it just had so many bugs that were never addressed or that were addressed way too late for the game to succeed. It also wasn't FTP while Fortnite was and was blowing up beyond belief. I also don't think they should go with the whole "Team objective" type Battle Royale, I think it's going to be a massive mistake. Sure they can make that as a side game mode on top of a regular BR game mode but just going with an objective based mode is a bad idea. People want a fast paced, smooth experience, good sound quality and something they can get in and out of and onto the next match.
Next Battlefield needs to be immersive maintaining a sense of gritty realism, and have enhanced forms of Levolution events. Stick to the core gameplay philosophy of what makes Battlefield unique, by ramping up the destruction physics. First priority is making Battlefield great again, with it's own core fundamental pillars building a good foundation
Hope they can make a come back but it’s been over 6 months sense I have played 2042 and not much has changed and none of my friends are playing it either. But I miss bF1 and bFV so much
I think Season 7 launches in a few weeks so there’s a reason to come back 👍
Bring back destruction as a core mechanic. Slow the movement down. Non-adjustable classes like ALL the other battlefield games.
Nice to hear! Dice Sweden fix this mess! Swe
You miss a couple of key details. Ridgeline Games is closed by EA as well. So not only Letho left, the whole studio is gone. BF 2042 had the same or even more studios working on 1 single game. Worked out great 🤣 and EA used the same wording as they do right now when they were talking about BF 2042, at least if we can believe the wording of handerson here. Back to the roots, love letter to the community, in line of BF 3 and 4 with lots of destruction…. Worked out great as well 😅 i strongly believe that if BF5 was marketed as a Bad Company Ww2 game, that first trailer had a big bad company vibe going on, it would have been a smash hit.
Them trying to change gunplay almost two years into the title, whilst simultaneously having the worst mouse input out of any game in recent memory (while also essentially denying its existence) is honestly mind boggling to me. Why do they hate their player base so much?
Let’s hope it plays like bf1 and bf5 2042 the scaling of buildings and distance just seemed so off to big to far between objectives the scaling was just so rubbish everything felt like we were microscopic to the environment
Just take the series back to the days of BF Nam and 2 and slow the damn game down a bit so we can actually play as a squad and not worry about fkn K/D bollx.
Firestorm is definitely 100% worth playing more than once me and my squad loved playing firestorm it just lacked content and like you say it was locked behind the paywall. It should have been free i dont know of another world war era battle royal game this was a missed opportunity by the devs in my opinion.
bf2, 3 and 4 roots. No micro transactions, no rehashed CoD bs like Shields, large maps with destruction, don't care about world "scenarios" like tornadoes. No sbmm, no in game balancing to make sure everyone feels like a winner, promote good play over replay value for casuals, and for the love of god put in a decent AI based Anti Cheat to predict and weed out chronus, hardware interjecting cheats, man in the middle cheats and scripts like DS4Win
Yes! Would love to see you stod and jack play some rounds of bf
Let’s roll it back to 2015 ✌️
i mean modern warfare remakes were banging. why won’t battlefield bite the bullet and attempt the same?
Do you think Battlefield v should be looked at by a smaller team for a secondary step? Personally, I think it should but I've been curios. The game was wrongfully abandoned, and should have been looked at. It's been a dream to drive a t34 in Battlefield v
2042 was terrible launch but playing the last few months has been fun. You should try again if you haven't played recently.
Excitement definitely took a nosedive when I heard battle royale...
Personally I don’t mind the 2042 “Near-Future Combat”. People like SquidDog using wingsuits have really evolved the game to be like a Just Cause game. Which is extremely fun, and I do think the seriousness of military mobilization on objectives was bit lost with more expression. Destructive environments made BF. I’d also love a BR BF. Ultimately we want a BF3/4 remake. BattleBit, Arma, Halo, Squad, Insurgency all show we need better games with comms and TEAM PLAY.
Im betting bad company 2 and bf3 will remain the best. Unfortunately i had high hopes for the franchise after bf3 but even bf4 they messed up the controls. Progressively catering to gamers who prefer call of duty type games. RIP BATTLEFIELD
I hope it's great but one would have to be a fool at this point to get hyped for any video game in development... Well, except maybe for GTAVI.
Battlefield is beyond the best game for a br with destruction , only thing I’m worried about is weapons being strong like in conquest. It should be heavy infantry
Battlefield’s DMZ would have been way better than a battle royale, and would probably appeal to battlefield players much more
Wish they would limit 4 snipers per team it would greatly increase map flow and obj play
i would like to play bf2042 again, but the fuckin thing wont download so i cant see if my support for the game has been a waste or not.
With the people involved in this project being solely responsible for arcade, fast paced shooters, I feel like the realism Battlefield used to give us will be a game style of the past....
Ridge line 🤣🤣 This video aged well
Tl;dr: let people who played previous titles oversee the games development and leadership. I mean right at around the 3:00 mark, all of the people overseeing the game’s development and leadership are just previous run n gun games developers and team leaders, so… are we expecting a failed hybrid again? Why not reviving MoH to have a real answer for CoD and just let people who actually played and ENJOYED older battlefield games (BF1942-BF4, BC and 1943 included) to have a hand in the next title? I always said that I won’t PO another BF game after V but my inner fanboy always got the better of me, and I’m sure a lot of people who got 2042 early felt the same thing. Not again, until we see some real changes take into effect
Still waiting on a battlefield Vietnam 😔
My expectations are next to zero after being burned so many times by false promises
Honestly they should push it back to 2026. With so many people working on it, new leadership and the rough launches of battlefield past and the mixed reception of bf2042, they need to dot their i's and cross their t's
I spent countless hours on Battlefield 4 and i can say that has been the best war game by far.
I have over 1500hrs in Battlefield 4 👌
@Westie we've probably killed each other at one point lol 😆
Honestly, I used to get hyped about hearing about new Battlefields. After 2042, just completely crest-fallen and do not give a shit about new Battlefields.
