Rogue-like Destruction: Every Battlefield Match Feels Truly Unique
Hey soldiers, Battlefield has never just been about shooting — it’s about feeling war on a grand scale. Remember the skyscraper collapsing in BF4? Or that RPG hitting the bridge on Seine Crossing? Destruction wasn’t just pretty. It was proof something big happened there. Now, with Battlefield Labs and future titles, destruction is back — but often just for visuals. I want to propose something different: Destruction as gameplay. Destruction as story. Destruction as a rogue-like system. What’s the idea? Each match randomly selects a set of destructible sectors. These are designed beforehand, but only some are active per round. So in one match, you can destroy a building to create a flanking path. In another, that building stands solid — and you need to adapt. This gives variety, unpredictability, and player-driven chaos. You’re not just playing the same map again. You’re fighting through something new. How it evolves: At the start, destruction is limited. As the match progresses, more destructible sectors become active. By the endgame, players unlock the potential to reshape the battlefield in dramatic ways. This pacing avoids early-match spam and builds tension. It rewards teams that survive long enough to "earn the ruin." The world reacts: Environmental events like storms, earthquakes, artillery, and more could influence destruction too. Not just visual effects — real impact. A tornado might collapse buildings. Floods might block routes. Earthquakes might open up new flanking tunnels. Maps don’t just react to players — they react to war itself. Examples by biome: Urban: alleys or buildings open or close based on match layout. Desert: sandstorms reduce visibility, collapse structures. Forest: fires spread, floods redirect players. Snow: ice cracks, avalanches cut off areas. Why this makes sense: Players get new tactical situations without needing dozens of new maps. Devs reuse assets in smarter, procedurally randomized ways. It combines what worked in BF4 (Levolution), BF2042 (weather), and classic destruction — but with purpose. Bottom line: Destruction should tell the story of what players did. Not just look cool. Every wall blown up. Every rooftop shattered. Every corner turned into rubble — it should all say: “You survived this war. You changed the battlefield.” That’s Battlefield at its best. Let’s make destruction matter again.
Please bring back Battlefield 1943
It's been almost 2 years since the servers were taken offline and there has been no game like it since. Drop in/drop out with rock, paper, siccors weapon mechanics, no level up advantages, and arcade style gameplay. All EA would have to do is upgrade the textures and they could sell it for $40. Heck if EA really wanted to milk this is could just port the 3 original maps and release it as free to play but then sell DLC for more maps and game modes (though if done incorrectly it could hurt the game). I still have the game saved on my ps3, 360, and Series X in hopes that the servers might get turned back on someday. Even the r/battlefield1943 sub reddit is still active.

Battlefield 1,4 and 5 not working.
Hello! I have Battlefield 1, 4 and 5, but I can't open any of them. Battlefield 1 and 4 give me a 'failed to start' error. Battlefield 5 won't open at all. However, Battlefield 2042 and other EA games work fine. I'll list all the methods I've tried so far. I deleted all the games and reinstalled them. I uninstalled and reinstalled EA Play. I uninstalled the EA app using Revo Uninstaller. I deleted the drivers using DDU and reinstalled them. I updated all my drivers. I reinstalled and repaired EA Anti-Cheat. I have installed all Windows updates. All versions of Runtime and .Net are installed. My BIOS version is up to date. My date and time settings are correct. However, the most interesting thing is that when I create a guest user on Windows, all the games open. I don't want to reformat the computer because of this ridiculous error.
Upcoming Battlefield...
Dear Dice... As a long time fan, I beg for the upcoming Battlefield to feel gritty, cinematic and enjoyable. We should NOT be able to change our soldier's looks. They are a soldier, not a barbie doll... customization should only be conducted in tasteful weapon and vehicle skins (Mind you, I say tasteful) Shouldn't the point be to make money off of the millions of copies sold, rather than release $25.99 skins tacked on as "content"? I much rather the battlepack system, as it felt rewarding to get a cool skin for a gun you like or a puzzle piece for a melee weapon, rather than just buying it for an absurd price. There is a reason why BF1 is still one of the most played and beloved Battlefield games to date, it avoided all of the scummy modern day gaming practices. 95% of the elements about that game were accurate, and when they were not accurate, at least it was 10x more plausible than whatever BFV was... The players want to have fun in an immersive cinematic experience filled with destruction. We want squad support, detailed environments, polished graphics... and a class system! Why should I have to guess if my teammate has ammo, or health, or anti-vehicle/infantry items... I should be able to see their icon and shout to them "I need ammo/health (etc)!" not just pray they have it... the game should feel realistic and grounded, but not at the cost of fun. I feel like Battlefield V was a turning point, where the direction felt... off... it felt like a random studio tried to make a Battlefield game, rather than an actual product of Dice and EA. Don't even get me started on Firestorm... I hope someone there at Dice stumbles upon an ex-Devs formula sheet for Battlefield 1 in a random drawer somewhere, that includes the magic elements they used to make an incredible game... so everyone can refer to it while production continues into the next installment. From a business perspective, BF1 sold 15 million copies... BFV at 7 million... and 2042 at just only 4 million... if I were the one calling the shots, I'd do whatever to get back that same feel because that's a substantial loss... While I'm sure most fans don't have high expectations, I'm still hopeful. But I think I can speak for most players that this will be our last straw if it does not deliver.
