Re: Battlefield 1
Dear Electronic Arts, DICE, and the Battlefield Development Team,
Battlefield 1 was not just another video game. It was a masterpiece that delivered one of the most immersive, emotional, and unforgettable experiences in the history of multiplayer shooters.
Nearly ten years after its original release, Battlefield 1 still stands out because of its breathtaking atmosphere, incredible sound design, beautiful environments, and the feeling of participating in a massive, terrifying war.
We remember the whistles before charging into battle. We remember running through trenches under heavy artillery fire. We remember soldiers fighting desperately for every objective, buildings collapsing around us, and massive airships burning in the sky before crashing to the ground.
Those moments were not scripted cinematics. They happened naturally during actual multiplayer matches. That was the magic of Battlefield 1.
We are asking EA and DICE to seriously consider developing a complete Battlefield 1 remaster for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X/S, and modern gaming PCs.
We would love to see enhanced 4K visuals, 60 FPS and optional 120 FPS performance modes, improved lighting, realistic weather, better smoke and fire effects, higher-quality textures, and fully optimized performance for current-generation hardware.
We also want improved destruction physics, more dynamic explosions, realistic debris, enhanced soldier animations, stronger environmental interactions, and the incredible sound design that made Battlefield 1 feel so authentic.
Most importantly, please preserve everything that made the original game legendary.
Keep the original Operations mode, Conquest, Rush, the iconic maps, all DLC expansions, classic weapons, historical vehicles, 64-player battles, and the unforgettable Behemoths such as giant airships, armored trains, and dreadnoughts.
We would also appreciate modern multiplayer improvements, including optional cross-platform play, input-based matchmaking, better servers, stronger anti-cheat protection, improved server browsing, and the preservation of existing progression wherever technically possible.
Additional historical maps, larger battles, and new content would be welcome, but only if they respect the identity and atmosphere of the original game.
Please do not turn Battlefield 1 into Call of Duty. Do not introduce futuristic weapons, unrealistic cosmetics, or unnecessary changes to the original gameplay.
Battlefield has its own identity. Battlefield 1 demonstrated what happens when atmosphere, sound, destruction, teamwork, vehicles, and massive warfare come together perfectly.
Modern graphics alone do not make a great Battlefield game. The unforgettable moments do.
Battlefield 1 gave an entire generation of players memories that have lasted almost a decade. Many of us would gladly return, and a whole new generation deserves to experience this masterpiece.
Some games do not need to be replaced. They deserve to be preserved, respected, and reborn.
EA and DICE, please listen to the Battlefield community.
BRING BACK THE AIRSHIPS!
BRING BACK OPERATIONS!
BRING BACK THE TRUE BATTLEFIELD EXPERIENCE!
Sincerely,
A Battlefield veteran who will never forget the burning skies of Battlefield 1.
