They do keep trying to turn it into something it's not and every time they try they fail.
However every time they make it seem more war like they do well.
Hardline tried making bf into police shooter- fail
BFV tried putting cyborgs and crazy skins into ww2 - failed, but then refocused to war again for the pacific update and pulled it back to tolerable
2042....well
on the other hand
everything up to and including bf 2 focused on war and were all remembered fondly
bf 3 and 4 again good coverage, everything looked military
bf 1 probably had the most focus on a war game and was one of, if not the biggest hit they've had, regardless of the poor shooting mechanics
