Sort of embarrassing really, I've had Battlefield 1 for around 8 months and still not played it, really need to get into my backlog.
WW2 here we come.
My main problem with WW2 as a setting is that in Battlefield 1 we have WW1 only in theory. Flow of the combat is like from WW2 shooter. So I'm worried it will be too similar - kinda like BF4 was to BF3.
That's why I hope it will be Bad Company set in WW2. At least we could get better single player with a little bit of humour, and not another grim story which we are getting with CoD this year.

It might be too early for Hardline 2, but I really hope they will one day do it. It wasn't perfect, but I had a lot of fun with it and most of all, it was beaming with potential. A new Hardline, that had enough development time to further distance itself from other entries would be great.
Yes! Future stuff done right with large scale battles!
I'll have to disagree with you there - BF1 felt like a step back over BF4 to me. It was missing a bit of randomness that small vehicles like the 4 wheelers and jeeps brought to the table in BF4. I miss my large scale battles with tons of different vehicle options (land, air and sea!)
Next one has to be modern/near-future/far-future so they can have an engaging Battle Royale mode. I mean I guess you could have it set in WWII but I don't think many people would connect with the weapons as well as the modern/near-modern ones seen in PUBG.
Also yes, bring back the deep customization of classes and weapons. The removal of that made Battlefield 1 so much less fun to play.
Hopefully its not by DICE and by some other EA affiliate,bf3/bf4/bf1 are all the pretty mich same and they are crappy at that.They havent put out a a decent fps since bc2.
A BC3 by current dice would be 99% a massive dissapointment

Hardline felt more like it shouldve been DLC for Battlefield 4 in my opinion. Or maybe a new game on it's own. It was a fun game, just not really 'Battlefield'. I always like the big LMG's and while theyre in BF1, the ones from BF3 and 4 were more in my alley. I always loved Vietnam tho so maybe a Vietnam 2 would be cool
Honestly i don't think they'll stick with WW2 in the next Battlefield either. Would be to samey to Battlefield 1. If they are smart they should save WW2 setting for the next generation of consoles to guarantee a big leap in technical quality. Wouldn't be a wise choice to throw out a WW2 BF so soon after BF1. The latter wowed us due the great graphics and setting. Wait for a significant technical leap DICE and wow us with a next gen WW2 Battlefield.
I liked the WW1 setting for BF1, a nice change of pace from the modern shooter setting they had been using since BF2. I want them to explore more settings like this, preferably unique.
Yup I bet Battlefield 2018 will be modern (or near-future) and Battlefield 2020 will be WW2 probably the first Battlefield on next gen.
All i can say is that after a strange start, my heart warmed to BF1 and with its Expansions i feel like its one of the best FPSs ive played while feeling diferent from WW2 FPSs. Actually i think the next BF should come in Fall 2019, BF1 still has a lot of life. Hopefully they keep their current post lauch model instead of going the free maps way.
Yep, I have a team of friends who I've played with for years and we all agree that whilst WW1 was interesting, it was too limited in what makes actually makes Battlefield the game it used to be.
Hoping for WW2 with better maps and system akin to BF4 or a modern day game. BF1 just didn't hold my attention like 4 did.
Im predicting WW2 with an arsenal inspired by their Secret Weapons of WW2 expansion pack for BF1942.
BF1 felt like it was testing the waters for WW2, so I'll be shocked if it is anything else.
Edit: they could revisit Vietnam again. I adored that one, it was a lot of fun, even if it had the most OP class ever in an FPS (M60/M79)

Operations has over taken rush for me. Rush has always been off since BFBC2.
I could live with WW2 for Battlefield, because COD will never scratch the same itch. But it would have to be Late 1945 - 1946 to allow for the most variety in weapons, and Vehicles. I'd love to drive an M26 Pershing but these things were rare until very very late in the war.
But the Brit's and their Crusader tank... I'll take that too.
I hope they go bigger again in the maps and vehicle loadout, half the BF1 maps are glorified CoD Run'n'Gun maps with 2 Tank/Plane slots for each side for the battlefield flavor, give me a Golmud Railway with 6-8 Tanks each side please.
Will this be an actual Battlefield? Or a side story Battlefield like Bad Company or Hardline. I feel like 2018 is too soon for Battlefield 6.
I can't see them doing Battlefield 2143, they're already doing Star Wars Battlefront games and EA has Titanfall as well, not to mention Anthem on the way. Way too many sci-fi games there.
I'd imagine it'll be one of these:
Vietnam is an interesting setting, although it does restrict them a bit in terms of map diversity.
If they want to do a modern game, BC3 might offer a way to do that while still helping it feel fresh. A Vietnam DLC expansion would also work with BC3 (as it did for BC2). They might go down the BF1 route and just call it "Battlefield: Bad Company." Calling it Bad Company means they can take a few liberties in terms of making the game fun (as opposed to realistic), something a modern day shooter needs IMHO. BC2 is so fondly remembered because they took the right liberties in that game: it was less documentary, and more Hollywood.

Not this. Needs to be Cold War or modern era with helicopters/Jets/LMVs etc. and have an interesting weapon variety that is just missing from BF1.
I wonder how long they will keep this up. Releasing Battlefield games this often. It seems like, to me, that Battlefield didn't grow because of iterations but because of longevity.
If it was me, I'd just update Battlefield 4. New 5 hours campaign. New maps. Boom done.

Battlefield definitely grew because of iterations. By the time people were growing tired of 1942 we received Battlefield Vietnam then almost immediately they released Battlefield 2. Back to back to back hits that was growing it's fanbase.
Argonne Forest map made me excited to see what they could pull off with a Vietnam 2.
