OP
No I definitely bought Battlefield 1 for the campaign lol. I've only played two multiplayer matches to date haha!
Let's hope that with all of this information, they will also drop the Season Pass stuff.
I'd be interested in a permadeath war mode on a large map from BatteField. 50 v 50 with each side broken into squadrons that have different objectives to achieve to win the battle (e.g. defend/attack and take over building, Blow up train, etc.). I'm not so interested in EA copying the BR formula used in PUBG & Fortnite (e.g. random circles, redzones, air drop from plane, etc.). I never was a big fan of conquest mode. Those matches always felt like a disorganized mess.
Lol at "would losing SP really be a loss"
*looks at TitanFall & Battlefront I & all other FPS shooters that launch without a campaign*

it's not going to be CoD or BF1, i can tell you that.
Fortnite also didn't do much to steal customers from PUBG if you actually bother to look at the concurrent player numbers.
Perfection.
All these battle royale modes are going to be the "brown FPS military games" of this gen.
Guitar Hero was an evolutionary dead end though, whereas I think there's a lot of potential for this style of game to do something more interesting. Okay, we're at the stage where simply emulating PUBG without the jank is enough to be successful, but as the market becomes more competitive, I think we're going to see some cool mechanics. I mean Fortnite has the most rudimentary building system that was only there as a holdover from the original tower defence concept, but it completely defines how the game is played.
Good
If bluehole doesn't wanna get its shit together for PS4 I'm glad we will have a "realistic" alternative to Fortnite
Plus I think WW2 is perfect for it

I wonder what these big AAA modes will do to the Battle Royale genre. I can see Battlefield doing some fun destruction stuff.
Also I wonder who will create a Battle Royale game that doesn't have a boring ass middle game of walking in zigzags for 5-10 minutes.

I don't get some of the posts in this thread and other threads regarding the Battle Royale mode.
People acting like the next BF gonna be exclusively a BR game... It's just an OPTIONAL mode. What's wrong with a new mode that can be completely ignored?
Also, all the screaming of COPYCAT! COPYCAT! Like 99% of the games everyone likes are copycat cat genres that have been refined with their unique take on said genre.
Some people are weird.

Turrican IV: Morgul's Battle Royale
Be part of a boring and uninterresting 100 multiplayer F2P.
Features :
- Soundtrack not by Chris Huelsbeck.
- Level design not by Manfred Trenz.
- Game not by Factor 5.
- Aliens and robots replaced by deformed humans from the Universal Soldier rippoff.
Preorder now the Founder Pack to get uncertain content that may or may no be released in time because the game will launch in XTREME Early Access !!1!

I don't see Battlefield having the same appeal to the mass audience as a COD BR. Regardless, I still think that Ubisoft will be the studio to dominate that market as soon as they launch their BR game (most probably for the next Division)
Then you look over at Overwatch which launched with MP only and basically one or two modes if that.
Lol, I didn't word my post right my bad.
What I meant to say was the majority of gamers who buy Battlefield buy it for the multiplayer. That's what the series is famous for. It's great you enjoyed the campaign. I really wish DICE would just let us buy the game in separate parts. Something like $40 for the multiplayer and $20 for the campaign. I understand why they don't do that and why they'll never do that, but it would be nice.
Granted. It's quite possible that it can evolve and be cool. I'm just already tired of this incoming trend of making everything like this
Remember how every game wanted to be like CoD and be the CoD killer? Now even CoD wants to be BR lol
Titanfall sold well and BF1 had a campaign, though it clearly wasn't the main focus.
It wouldn't work if BF is only doing a solo player BR mode. I could see it working with large teams though.
Can we really consider what we got in BF1 a campaign? Sure there were set pieces. But it was more like a Vignette. Honestly at that point I'd probably just rather have them work on more content for the MP. I just don't really care for half assed SP, and I care about SP/Co-op alot.
Honestly I'm not sure how CoD will pull it off properly. They don't have very expansive maps, their combat isn't designed for it. It's mainly about being fast and frenetic. Which BF can be, but also afford more movement/positioning etc. But then again I also don't really like Fortnites scale and implementation either so, what do I know. Hopefully they at least have weapon customization pickups, and it helps they're both in first person. I guess Fortnite tried to get around that with weapon rarity or whatever, but thats pretty meh in my eyes.

The AAA has barely touched the genre. Right now PUBG is struggling on console and now is the perfect time to release something to steal that audience.
Then they would probably have to do BR with the 4 classes (Assault, Medic, Engineer, Support, Recon), while having some loadout when spawning in. If you're starting the BR match with nothing and the group gets meh loot, you kinda get boned if you having nothing to defend against an armored vehicle.
Realistically, BR in BF would probably wouldn't be that reliant on finding loot, outside of special weapons and stuff.
That's not what I meant. It's a "me too" attitude that waters down creative control. When did anyone ever play Battlefield or CoD and think to themselves "this needs a battle royale mode"?
I think the big difference here is:
1.) Brand Name
2.) Content
Let's look at Battlefield. The series has a huge brand name and is popular amongst PC and console gamers. The first game came out almost two decades ago. Gamers know what to expect with Battlefield, large scale infantry and vehicle warfare. The campaign was a recent addition, and has been met with so-so results (Bad Company campaign had favorable reviews, BF3 and BF4 were very bad, BF 1 so-so).
Lets look at content. What did Titanfall launch with? At what price? It launched with 15 maps, at $60. When you have games like Black Ops II that deliver a full campaign mode, launch with 15 maps, zombie mode, etc. So in that respect if your launching Titanfall at $60 and trying to compete with it, you need to do something else. You can include a full campaign, or launch at a price point like $40.
Battlefront was similar. The game wasn't really fleshed out, some modes were just terrible, etc. it didn't feel like we should pay $60 for it judging by the competition.
And with Battlefield, look at the quality of BF3, 4, and BF1s campaign. It's just not that good imo. So when someone says "would losing SP really be a loss", eh, losing a mediocre campaign wouldn't be a big loss. But if you can invest those resources into making more maps, I'd say its worth it.
BF1 launched with 9 maps and a campaign at $60. If they took out SP and launched BFV with 9 maps I would have a problem with it. If they took out SP and launched with 16/18 maps, I'd be pleased.
Wouldn't want to water down a WW2 FPS.
I'm actually interested to see what Dice does with this.
People sure as shit thought about for Battlefield. Even in like the H1Z1 days
I just hope the campaign will be better than what we got in Battlefield 1 and Star Wars Battlefront II... Imo Battlefield: Hardline still has the best campaign, funny and entertaining, such an underrated game.
What MP game doesn't try to include a mode that got popular from another MP game?
Adding a new mode that an unprecedented number of people love to play is a no brainer, and it's at least more interesting than just the same recycled modes we've seen in sequel after sequel the past decade. And to be fair creating an entirely original concept for a multiplayer shooter in 2018 that needs to make AAA profit is a pretty difficult task, that's probably why we're seeing a trend born from an indie developer and the modding scene.
Yeah, that makes the most sense. Dropping soldiers from an airplane without a weapon just seems silly for the setting that the game is in.
Fair. But as other have said this makes the most sense for BF to do this considering they're all about big maps. Not to mention PUBG is vulnerable on console and can easily be dethroned by a AAA dev that has the resources to provide updates at a fast rate.
That's basically a survival mode type, no? Gears had it, Halo had it, even games like PvZ had it.
Im so glad Lucas gave us so much quotable movies that can be used perfectly in almost any situation lol
