First battlefield I won't be buying in a while. Not interested in BF6 modern war

Here's my reasons. Firstly they injected politics and political correctness en masse into battlefield V utterly ruining immersion and destroying the player base. The pacific theatre though. Was excellent and nearly redeemed the game before it was cancelled.

Secondly. And this is controversial. It's modern warfare. I'm sick of it. For 17 years we have had constant modern warfare. It's not exciting it's boring overdone and overused. It's fake. What if wars that have no basis in reality. In a historical game like battlefield 1 or even battlefield V the batwfields are real places. Iwo Jima is pretty accurate, Sinai desert really looks like that. 

With a historical battlefield you can get a sense of taking part in a actual battle. A Korean war or Vietnam war would have been a much better choice. But instead we got another Russia vs America trashfest. 

I am so over modern warfare. It's boring uninspired attachment *. You know the funny thing? Actual militaries don't allow attachments hahahahahahaha so it's fake and deluded. I won't be buying this battlefield. And Unless they return to a actual historical period of war I won't be returning.

  • @shnukshnuk funny because the 80% of my battlefield mates said exactly the opposite and didn't buy or stopped playing BF1 and BFV. Those who played BF1 jumped ship to PUBG when it was an alpha. And those that started out in BFV went straight to CoD modern warfare once it was released. These are players that had never played CoD before but just couldn't handle the clunky guns of the period.

    It will be along time before anyone is brave enough to try historical games again... Pity because I could have seen an American Civil War setting work fine and even more brave a bit of steampunk lol.
  • The plan was simple :

    WW1 in the mornings ,

    WW2 in the afternoons/early evenings ,

    Modern warfare at night .

    As it turned out though :

    BFV was so much fun that I've regularly skipped past BF1 .

    The plan fell to pieces .

    No plan with the New Game then , just a prediction :

    Two World Wars and an upheaval - just . . . forgotten .

    . . . for a few months , at least .

    It makes most sense for the next game to be modern warfare but I'm disappointed by the lack of imagination most games have with the setting. They could literally do whatever they want with it and pretty much every time it's the same old USA vs The Commies Old and New and if rumours/leaks are true then BF6 is going to be the same old.

    THIS!   And it would maybe have been less than 4 years out in the future!?  :o)

    And think about the commercial potential for EA.

    China would finally allow its 2B citizens to buy a modern Battlefield game, as the game is all about trashing American cities and landmarks into rubble.  The total game sales in the Middle East would probably also quadruple.

    Sorry to inform you, that the modern game scenarios as in BF4 were indeed also very accurate real places!

    2 years ago I passed from Tibet into Lhasa with train going to Lanzhou in China.

    Quite a beautiful journey and great impression when I passed the Golmud area, which I have played on for countless of hours in the BF4 game!

    Anybody been to Shanghai will also recognize the Pudong district in which we play in the BF4 game, though the game designers have placed the recognizable monuments/contours in the distance across the water (aka the World Financial Center building and the Oriental Pearl TV tower), as if we actually play the game while in the Bund district, across the river.

    And its the Bank of Shanghai's headquarters building we have the fun of trashing in nearly every single game round there...

    Matter of fact is that EA game designers have always gone to great lengths in using real places in their game maps for the BF franchise!

    Same as well with weapons, weapon sounds, vehicles and vehicle sounds!

    Lets give them credit, where credit is due!

  • on the one hand you say modern warfare is all we have had for 17 years yet factually the last 2 BF have been set in the long ago past not modern at all. Personally thats why i stopped playing BF which was sad because I loved BF4 . 

    Im glad they are going to more modern warfare otherwise me and my friends would be skipping it again. Sorry you personally do not like modern settings but many love them because they can relate more to it .

    This is where one should put the biggest of Xs to signify the deepest of doubts of that ever happening.
