@stukapooka Battle Arena honestly depends on the amount of players. As in, if they worked hard on it and made it work properly with good matchmaking, and BFN had a lot of players playing it, I think they'd keep it in. But it they go the GW route, Arena won't return yeah. I honestly wouldn't want to play Battle Arena in Garden Warfare 2, that doesn't sound very fun at all.
Also if they remove sprinting then the game should movement-oriented because of the abilities and that's how you get around in Turf. I wouldn't want base-speed to be high, doesn't sound fun, I'm picturing Overwatch esports lol.
But yeah to answer OP's question. I don't think this is the last PvZ shooter. I think they're going to come back in a few years. It will probably incorporate GW and BFN mechanics and ideas. Hopefully they don't go with innovation for the sake of it and do something that the majority of the playerbase will enjoy.
