What makes a Battlefield game, a Battlefield game?

  Preface: No ill will meant here, I adore and respect the team at DICE, and if I come off as harsh it's unintentional. This is coming from the bottom of my heart, as a lifelong Battlefield ...

@DrunkwoIf My first BF, as well. To be fair, if BF2 was launched today, I think it would be a successful and VERY SMALL franchise.
The gaming community has changed dramatically (think Fortnite) since we started to play on-line. It is all about instant gratification, no grind, everyone gets a prize. EA is only interested in big, successful franchises.

    @Lancelot_du_Lac Well said, I couldn't have worded it better myself. The things that made Battlefield fun for us during its inception as a series is a niche interest today, sadly.. But it is what it is.

    @Lancelot_du_Lac I would ask you to look towards your favorite sport and ask yourself how much has it changed over the years?

      @fragnstein Are you agreeing or disagreeing with my comment? But in answer to your question:

      Favourite sport is F1, and that has changed significantly over the years - engines, aero, professionalism, etc. (but they still race on the same tracks as they did in 50's - Monza, Spa, Monte Carlo).

      My second favourite sport is tennis and, apart from the technology of racquets and coloured clothing, it is still played on a court of similar dimensions and rules as it was in the 1900's.

      Sorry if I have missed your point.
