Thoughts from a Veteran Battlefield Player

I first got into the Battlefield series in 2018. Without any help from anyone or any videos, I bought Battlefield V. That was the most worthwhile and best purchase I ever made, and after that I invested a huge amount of time playing it every day. Because of Battlefield V’s influence, I went on to buy Battlefield 1, Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, and later Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 6. I also created a dedicated video media account for the Battlefield series, so that more people could learn about it and share in my joy.

But starting with Battlefield 2042, I could no longer see the identity of Battlefield. It seemed to become like any other fast‑paced shooter – maybe fun, but it couldn’t immerse me or make me want to spend time on it. I also felt no emotional resonance from the campaign. Looking back at Battlefield 3’s single‑player story, I find it very pure; it is the kind of immersive war narrative I truly long for.

I believe the Battlefield series should not be swayed by the opinions of certain less important players. Instead, the developers should sincerely and devoutly think about what to do for the next installment, how to shape it, and what kind of surprise to give the players – not try to blend everyone’s opinions together and end up with a game that no one really likes. Moreover, the Battlefield series should, as always, let us players experience the game from an immersive perspective, making us feel that we are truly experiencing a digital war, not a fast‑paced, mechanically sterile shooting match. In Battlefield V, we could fight over a single flag, back and forth, contesting it repeatedly until the flag finally goes up at that point. That kind of joy is the real memory we Battlefield players hold dear.

Lastly, could you please make the skins in the battle pass look better?

  • Time moves on, I remember this exact same discussion happening back in 2011 when Battlefield 3 was released. At the time Battlefield 2 still had a very active and healthy community. I remember being surprised by how much of the community disliked Battlefield 3, because I personally enjoyed it, perhaps even more than Battlefield 2. I honestly see it as a natural process. I don’t like it, but there’s not much that can be done about it.
