I'm scared of what the next game might look like....
I for one, am not looking for another "reimagining", they don't need to re-invent the wheel, all I want is a SOLID Battlefield game.
No hero/specialist nonsense with all the weird game breaking mechanics and the cringey voice lines, full-stop, just don't do it.
Focus on making the base game functional, stable with all the features that BF players have come to expect, server browsers, persistent servers, VOIP, scoreboards, squad management, platoon/clan support etc. etc.
Fix the hit-reg/lag/de-sync (a ping-limiting mechanic would probably help a ton with this) and anything else effecting gunplay mechanics, gunplay should be predictable and consistent, not randomly good or bad depending on every play session.
My advice would be to look to the older BF titles for ideas/inspiration, take all the beloved maps, modes, game-mechanics from prior BF's and implement them in the next Battlefield title. Looking at stuff like the commander role in BF2, Titan mode from BF2142 just for a couple of examples.
I could probably write several long-winded posts on this subject but long-story-short just give us an updated Battlefield game along the lines of BF2-BF4, a real successor to these titles not a "reimagining"
