Sooo he's the new boss of the overall Battlefield Franchise...I looooved Titanfall 1 & 2 and you could see they were made with care and consideration so I hope he brings some good stuff to BF2042 before it's too late :OEdit: So if you don't know what I'm talking about, here's the linkhttps://www.gamespot.com/articles/battlefield-franchise-undergoes-major-shake-up/1100-6498521/

@Daeyon-be It entirely depends on the direction he takes it. If battlefield just becomes an extension of his other projects no thanks. Battlefield needs its own identity, last thing I want to see is battlefield go full apex/titanfall.

If they cant make a decent new BF after all the last titles, after all that has been said over the last 10 years - they will never be able to do it. At its basic core, it should be very easy for them to really make a version of BF in 2021 that excels. 2042 is a * and they have to realize that. I do think change is good to keep things fresh. But really, they need someone who GETS BF. Im pretty burned out on 2042 already. Maps are so boring. Nothing happens. It would be nice for once to not be on this board and moaning. I want to say the opposite, how awesome the is, like when i played the first time Siege of S in BF4 and the tower fell. Everyone was in awe!

The hyperbole is not comforting. Saying things like “we’re all in on bf” and “battlefield universe” should elicit excitement, but the execution of the bf2042 launch as it is, compared to what a five year child could deliver, is so off it makes you wonder if any coherent thinking went on at all.Any coherent thinking at all could have really set bf franchise up for lots of excitement, and promise. Attracting new players and bringing in new game modes. (Just like they’ve done with 2042). they could have built confidence in the player base by delivering a new engine, new graphics to the legacy bf4/5/1 fan base.Starting of with scoreboard, server browser, more classes rather than specialists. Supported and moved existing platoons and clans over to the new platform. then they could have brought in new modes of play, scenarios and missions that could have centred around specialists and so forth. instead they alluded to bf2042 being a new and updated version of BF4/5/etc and instead delivered a very contentious new vision for the franchise that upset a significant number of players. Ego clearly overriding andy sensible approach to redefining the bf framchise, and ignoring the communities feedback during stages even before the beta. Ego, Leading to those questionable design decisions.If they really are invested in building a new BF universe, then seriously, they couldn’t have done it in a worse way . I for one am not convinced. And am going to have to wait t least a year before I spend any more money on this game. I’m hopeful for updates to address the issues. But I have zero reasons to believe they intend to build a game that I’m interested in. That bf2042 should have been, but simply isn’t.

@Daeyon-be There is a lot more to the changes that are occurring though. ....and a big question mark as to what exactly their vision will be going forward for the franchise in relation to gameplay mechanics, etc. Nothing in that article really points to BF going a different direction than it has with BF2042. They may continue to follow this path they are on in reshaping elements of BF that many felt defined the franchise. ......maybe that's good, maybe that's bad. In either case, I've been let down before thinking changes like this would change some of my favorite games / franchises in the past. I tend to take a more reserved approach now.

@Daeyon-be And then there's this. https://twitter.com/bravoINTEL/status/1466467558295547913

UGH!!!
Ubisoft managed to kill off every franchise for me with the last being GR. I thought I was id of them for good.
....btw, funny how both companies have people jumping ship between one another.

@Daeyon-be I have mixed feelings about this. TitanFall 2 is one of my favorite games of the past decade. But notice there hasn't been a TitanFall 3 or even a mention of it. EA and Respawn have been content to just stand fast and let Apex Legends print money for them. Apex Legends is part of the TitanFall universe, but it's just a BR mode.

Given that BF2042 at least has Portal and All Out Warfare, I don't see them going down the same path. We have that at least.

As for the "universe", it could be anything. Maybe Bad Company's return with those popular characters? I can see them alternating between Bad Company and the main line franchise. So it doesn't necessarily mean specialists.

I can also see Hazard Zone or Portal spinning off into it's own thing.

Good news is they seem dedicated to supporting BF2042 first. Even word of them ditching Battlefront 3.

@Kean_1111 Hopefully we don't get a repeat performance with the Battlefield series, although at this point I don't believe she could cause it much more damage.
