Next Battlefield Game Is Coming From Biggest Team Yet - Luke Reacts 

I will never forgive EA for killing Star Wars Battlefront 2 support in order to support the development that train wreck of a game called Battlefield 2042.

The fact that he described the game as a live service says everything we need to know about

Battlefield 1 is such a unique game. Each match felt like a singleplayer game with scripted moments and story, but actually having no scripts and being multiplayer, especially in the Operations mode. I miss that game, probably my favourite multiplayer experience

The next BF game (at least for me) needs to be like BF3 and BF4.

battlefield 1 was a great experience and it was a damn shame that the devs couldn't put the same love and care into battlefield v, as far as the planned future content that never came out for it.

Hope they bring back Legacy Feature like fun and scoreboard

You got it wrong. The core audience don't want stuff such such as rendezook in the game. People want a team focused shooter and it is opposite of clownship that is in the game.

When it comes to Battlefield - Two Words - NO PRE-ORDERS!

It's not Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM), It's Engagement Optimized Match Making (EOMM). It's purpose is to curate multiplayer lobbies to maximize playtime in cooperation with UI design, battlepass progression, unlocks and daily/weekly challenges to ultimately increase the likelihood that players will spend money on store items. These are the numbers that investors and shareholders want to see. Skill based matchmaking or team balancers are not new to team based shooters and have been used for decades. The new algorithms implemented in CoD's match making service are far more advance.

Battlefield 1 was so good. Operations was one of a kind, and the soundtrack to the game is still one of my favorite video games soundtracks ever. What a moment.

"Bigger" the game, less excited I'm for it

AAA publishers are more concerned with wowing the investors more than the gamers... And it showing... BAD

Andrew Wilson says it's good. Run for the hills

This is like me trying to get hyped on halo 7 at this point, let’s just give theese guys there 3rd/4th time, bc this time it’s gotta be great right guys

There is no hope for the next Battlefield game. DICE hasn't learned anything. EA hasn't learned anything. I want to be wrong, but I know I'm not. It's better to just wait for some indie studio to make something better.

I have not had faith in DICE since BF4, the last Battlefield game I gave a damn about.

Used to be my favorite shooter but after 2042 I lost faith sadly

I would like to play Battlefield but I don't want anymore of that "Operator" stupidity. I really enjoy picking a class and having specialized equipment for that class. Hence, classic BF.

I have hundreds of hours in Battlefield 1 and thousands of kills with the Martini Henry! That game was the best battlefield that there ever was and that’s coming from a player who used to play battlefield two when it was in its prime.

I wont preorder this time.

Battlefield 1 is so good. I still come back to it every now again, the most immersive war sim I’ve played, a shame the genre has fallen from grace.

SBMM retains low skill players, but takes the fun out of the games for higher skilled players or above average skilled players that are actually interested in getting better and not just playing the game 2 hours a week. If you’re always only exposed to similar skilled players or better, you can’t see the personal improvement you make because your stats are artificially influenced by SBMM putting you in lobbies TAILORED for you to lose. SBMM makes sense for dedicated modes, like ranked. But normal lobbies should be wide open and based on ping/location imo

I loved bf1 so much. What a gem that game was

I so want a good Battlefield game. I haven't been able to get into the series since BF1. Every now and then I go back to it for a bit, or BF4. The problem is massive resources and teams behind a game doesn't necessarily mean it will be good. "AAAA" Skull and Bones being the prime example. There just isn't anything out there that scratches the Battlefield itch. Battlebit is ok, but it just doesn't hit the same.

The fact that EA said no to a Dead Space 2 remake over this has already saved me money

Battlefield 2042 was a true pioneer. They invented a game with no hackers! Mainly because there was no point....but a win is a win 😂

Haven’t played a battlefield since 4 and haven’t really gotten ridiculous into a battlefield since 3. I don’t know what keeps EA/Battlefield fans coming back to this franchise. How many broken and unsupported entries will it take to see a change in development ethos?

Luke, there is absolutely NO chance that the next game is anything battlefield fans want. The series is done, we had a great run.

please let the next battlefield be good.

I don’t know if it’s my rose tinted glasses or not. But BF3 was so good that me and my best friend made a joke that we could’ve graduate college 2 times over with the amount of hours we had on 2 accounts both rank 100. (We where like 14) The game was just amazing, the best shooter of its time.

No, we didn't want a Battlefield game where you jump out of a fighter jet shoot a stinger before jumping back in. Future shouldn't mean a fantasy. This is not a fortnite superhero game

I like how everyone memory-holed the party the battlefield devs held where they were laughing at peoples complaints while projecting them on a TV

Andrew Wilson thinks that if he puts more dev teams and devs onto a game, it will make it a better game, even though it might be that not one of the devs have a clue what they're doing.

I miss Battlefield. I liked it more than Call of Duty, but I haven't played either IP in a few years. Never even tried 2042. Looked awful.

I preordered the deluxe edition for both battlefronts and battlefield 2042 . I’ve ben burned a lot . 2042 is a decent game now with the patches and updates . I just hope the next battlefield is similar to 3 or 4 . Battlefield 3 was AMAZING

it makes me laugh that these people never realize that more devs doesn't mean a better game because the more devs you have on a single game the higher the chance of things getting mixed up between teams then the game ends up a confusing mess

“Biggest team” means nothing to me other than just a bigger number of people who will be laid off when the game is inevitably is mismanaged, released too early, and ultimately fails.

Live service for battlefield just sounds like simply paying for a beta

Whether this next game is good or bad, it WILL be better than 2042, it's impossible for it to be worse than 2042. 2042 was originally being made as a BR only game, then they had to scrap and re build a "traditional" experience from the ashes of the scrapped project, which was like over a year into development or something. That is the reason why we saw specialists in the game, 128 players, etc. I believe either a DICE dev or EA insider confirmed this through Tom Henderson a couple years ago. The next game is getting built as a Battlefield game first and foremost, that alone already is going to be better than 2042, just depends if they can make the right choices in other aspects of the game.

As soon as bf added tdm to bf4, u knew where bf was headed!

8:55 Yeah, but those players will have their own time where they're pub stomping (unless they're really *that* bad), and you'll have times where you're getting stomped just like you have times where you're the one doing the stomping. If people want sweaty games all the time *that's what ranked is for.*

Let be honest the in game store and battle pass will be the only things that work a launch. Because if 2042 shows us anything the marketing team are the only one that know what the customer wants.

Iv completely lost all hope that I will ever enjoy another true Battlefield game.

With what Call of Duty currently looks like, EA has a perfect opportunity to create a game that calls back to the good days of BC2 - BF4. But times have changed and it's unlikely.

Iirc battlefield 1 was NOT the one complained about. It was historically accurate with the Harlem Hellfighters and Lawerence of Arabia. I think people complained in battlefield 5 the amount of female presence in WW2.

That glitch mob remix of seven nation army from the bf1 trailer goes so hard.

Having SBMM/EOMM & bad matchmaking in general in both normal mode and ranked, was one of the biggest reasons why i eventually lost interested in Apex, played it less & enjoyed the game less, i only held on to it for longer than was good, since there was nothing better out there( for me) From time to time i'm going back to playing some BF4 & BF1.

i swear the next battlefield is going to be the nail in the coffin for the battlefield franchise.

BF1 was incredible, and the closest I ever got to the feeling of 1942. But, you know what would be tremendous, EA? Titanfall 3.

I want 2143. 2142 is my all time favorite. 2042 might have crushed that

And it doesn’t mean jack shit. Big team means more money goes into it which in turn means EA will have unrealistic expectations. Microtransaction hell, I’m calling it now.

You don't need skill based matchmaking when your game is good enough to make people want to play it without being manipulated.

...and in recent investor call they said that they will put ads in-game

Hello I’m 700 years old and I haven’t enjoyed a Battlefield since Bad Company 👴

Bethesda: "It just works" Blizzard: "Do you not have phones?" Ubisoft: "AAAA game" EA: "Tremendous live service" Nintendo: "If it's not fun, why bother?"

Battle Bit Remastered y'all 250 player games, almost fully destructible map Yeah it's got problems, but it's getting a huge overhaul in the next month or so

BF3 during its prime is still my favorite FPS experience ever. I enjoyed BF4 and the Star Wars Battlefront games quite a bit as well. BF1 and 5 had amazing, tear-jerking campaigns but I never really got into the multiplayer. Things basically just kept falling off with each game. And then there was BF2042..... I really thought they were gonna go back to the good ol' days stuff, they even brought back several of my favorite OG maps in Portal. My disappointment was immense, so it's going to be hard for me to forgive them for what they did with that one. Idc how big the team is, just make a good game. Hearing that it's the biggest team yet doesn't comfort me at all. The way I see it, the bigger the team, the more likely communication, task distribution etc are just going to be chaotic/messy. As for the skill-based matchmaking, I've never really thought about it before. But as a casual player I must admit that I've enjoyed multiplayer games less since that started some years ago. It was frustratingly encouraging when there was someone who was just way better than everyone else in a match (especially in the opposing team). You know like those guys that were just stupendously good with a sniper, tank, helicopter or whatever. I'd always make it my life's mission to get just 1 win on them in that match. I usually failed miserably, but I never grew tired of attempting to get my revenge by outsmarting them in some way or another. And the satisfaction I got when I actually did succeed was nearly unmatched. I often also became better at the game by watching how they played and learning from them. It's been so long since I've experienced something like that and I really miss it. So I gotta agree that skill-based matchmaking makes the typical experience extremely dull. Matches just play out in more or less the same way, you don't do really well or really badly, you rarely get amped up from a competitive drive towards a specific player, you rarely learn from others or get the chance to troll a complete noob etc. You just play a couple of matches, get bored from the literal lack of stimulation and quit only to never look at the game again for months/years/ever.

EA: “ Hey guys, we’ve got another Battlefield game coming out! Me: YAaaaWN, “PASS!!!”

As somebody who doesn't play multiplayer games it seems that all the good players are upset that they have to play against other good players which doesn't make sense if you just wanna destroy things play a co-op game

Whenever I hear "biggest team yet" these days, I think of all the mismanagement that will likely happen... A big team means nothing if it is not coordinated well. A lot of publishers and developers have shown the last couple of years that they can't properly handle the managing of big teams.

You hit the nail on the head with the SBMM argument. This is why I played bots on Battlefront 2 and had a great time

It’s kind of wild watching Battlefield fall. Bad company was great, 3, 4 and 1 were great games (even considering 4’s buggy start). 5 corrected course and eventually became a pretty good game. They have a successful formula but they are trying to separate themselves from it to get that sweet sweet live service money and streamers attention.

dice/EA have fucked their insanely huge franchise, gone from a guaranteed buy to something that ima probably wait till sale on

Can someone explain to me what the first "tremendous live service" game they made was????

Ea doesn’t understand what they have or had and keep trying to force live service. They had Star Wars bf2 and anthem. All they had to do was commit to those and they could have continued to monetize

The only reason I'm keeping an eye on this upcoming game is because EA gave the keys of the franchise to the guy that created Titanfall 1 and 2 plus he has a bunch of bangers under his belt. He is the ONLY reason I'm keeping an open mind because if anyone can get the franchise out of the mess EA has created, it's him, HOWEVER I'd like to remind everyone that you lose absolutely nothing by waiting an extra week or two after release to purchase the game. EA has done more than enough to lose players trust and customer satisfaction.

oh boi, i cant wait till they stuff in even more monitization to cover the costs

go home EA, You have destroyed enough

The first BFV trailer was the clearest and most abrupt death of a franchise I’ve seen.

if I learned anything from AAA industry that the more people you have the worst, the game is🤣

I’m not trusting a damn thing coming from EA

"T Bagging with 16 Times the detail!"

I agree. I LOVED BF1 even though I love the BF3 and BF4 modern setting more. The guns, settings, sound design was just so awesome. BF V wasn't bad, but just felt like a reskinned BF1. Still good, but just more of the same. I've had fun playing some BF2042, but something just feels off. I'd rather load up BF4 with my buddies, even with the dated graphics. Or you can play some Insurgency which is such a good game.

*they need to expand the Grand Bazaar map from BF3 and build an entire 24/7 campaign mode around it with never ending waves of enemies and a day night cycle* 👍

RIP Dice

Bigger the team, the less cohesion, the more dumpster of a game. Honestly I’d rather see motive do a full fledged rogue squadron game with vr and Hotas support

It’s not the quantity of the developers, it’s the quality. Look how COD turned out.

I just find it crazy that out of my whole friends list on Xbox or ps5 not one I ever see are on cod

EAs CEO went to the new battlefield team and said WOW what a tremendous Live service Ya I know in a year or 2 it should be a fully quality game that everyone will love You have a month to release it it WHAT

8:40 It's easy to perceive it that way, and it's somewhat true, but it goes deeper then that. As a middle ground player (1.4 kd ratio) the sbmm is cranked so high, you don't ever feel like you're getting a middle ground game with balance. You get put into a baby easy lobby and stomp everyone. Do that once or twice, and then sbmm reads your progress and puts you in an ultimate over 9000 sweat lobbies and you get crushed. You'll have that type of game two or three times in a row, and then the cycle repeats. You don't feel like you earn your wins. You're only winning because the sbmm algorithm gave you a lobby you can win at. It feels fake and manufactured vs old call of duties. I think some people are too young to remember the old cod's at this point, where the matchmaking was the same throughout. You had to earn your way to be able to survive, and it felt really good to do so! You honed your skills and would gradually see your killcounts go up, and get less deaths, start getting killstreaks. It was a great feeling. But I can't imagine having that same feeling now, because I'd have to ask, "did I really get that much better? or did the algorithm just give me enough games to get my stats higher." For anyone wondering, yes it's that bad. The reason Cod players don't leave is because despite cod slowly eroding away, it's still top tier compared to other shooters. battlefield was really the only similar alternative, that wasn't it's own cartoony thing, and DICE threw that in the trash. As a cod enjoyer, other shooters don't really scratch the itch that cod provides. I'm a ground war enjoyer, which is the last mode that doesn't have skill based matchmaking in the game. Once that ultimately gets swallowed up by corporate decisions, I will probably leave cod for good.

I loved the ai in battlefield 2 for the time it came out.

Battlefield hardline is slept on such a good game

This just in next BF Installment being developed by the biggest team yet. Mid launch e.a announces major lay offs. 1 month to release date manager of battlefield 6 quits. Release date....bugfield6

I’ve played a good amount of BF2042. It’s alright but honestly a huge step down from both BF3 and BF4

Remember : NO PREORDER.

The only game ive ever pre ordered is Bf2042. Bruh im never pre ordering again

Definitely cared less about 5 compared to BF1. If they bring back true commander role like in BF2 (PC) that would be a good start..

Bf3 was the pinnacle.

SBMM and lowering the skill ceiling killed Destiny 2's PvP, that is demonstrably true. However, that may be an outlier.

LARGEST?! THEY USED 3 COMPANIES ON THE LAST ONE...3?!

Titanfall 2 hat bots that ran around and it was still satisfying to mow them down and they still brought pressure. Like if Battlefield added bots and they bots could have slight coordination in which they focus slightly more coordinated against the top of the leaderboard players it would make sense. Like the real militaries and soldiers have coordination. If a target becomes a priority it would make sense if they were more effective against that target. So imagine if you are a bottom to mid player on the server and you hear the Bots giving out commands and shouting out coordinates over their comms when they find the gps location of a top ranking player. If bots have a random skill level of 3 out of 10. When they spot or encounter a top player they increase their coordination and combat effectiveness to a 5 or a 6. If AI spots the player and can give out comms, they can relal thatt players loadout or the ai will switch out loadout to counter that player. (Lets say the player is speed running around and in a building with smg's. So the AI if it survives enough to get comms out. Then the AI in the area spawning will pull out claymore, trip mines, etc and perhaps riot shields and shotguns. Imagine if the AI can do spotting just like the player, but leave behind an icon of the type of weapon they saw on that player on the spot location. So instead of a red dot on the map its a red diamond with a weapon icon in the center. Forget the 128-P lobbies. Go back to the 64-P lobbies and the rest of the 64 are AI Bots that are there to get mowed down as well as move in units. Go to 6 player squads and have 6 bot squad mates. In previous games the squads dont always run around together or coordinate. But now with Bots you can actually watch then move around as a unit and demonstrate squad tactics. With good coordination a squad of 6 bots at a 3/10 difficulty could be like 5 difficulty when coordinated. Imagine a bot running around with a Riot shield flanked by 2 shotgun bots as they clear out hallways and rooms. Bots can also be effective enough to shave down a top player health to around 60% So when you as a lower rank player only have to get better angles and finish them off. If I was the top of the leaderboard player and I ran into a 2player +3bot squad and I killed 3 bots and 1 player in that encounter before they killed me. I would leave that encounter happy. Then that lower ranked squad would feel good as well overwhelming the best player in the server and throwing him back into the respawn. It balances itself out. A majority of players go into objective game modes and only care about getting kills.

A bigger development team doesn't mean better development or a better game. Whoever what it doesn't mean is more opportunities for the game to not be good or be soulless.........aaaaaaaand a game that costs substantially more than what's needed.

I stopped playing Apex because of SBMM. Solo queuing and meeting predators regular in MM. Ranked MM was too sweat so I tried playing unranked MM same ship happens, playing against full squads with predators while im solo queuing. Obviously the system is flawed. I got destroyed I had 200-300 at most on my main champions. I can't carry an entire squad that only want to solo jump into cities.

I don’t care about the battlefield series anymore. I just hope that the servers for older games like bf1 and bf4 don’t get shut down

Im part of dev, i just tell you all the gameplay will change drastically

What do you have against the Battlefield V trailer? Everybody thinks on female soldiers and soldiers with robot arms if you think about WWII. 😂😂😂

When was the last time they launched a Battlefield game in good condition? Maybe BF1?

Im not going to pre order and might even wait for a update or two but considering 2042 isn’t and really wasn’t all that bad at the start I will probably get it within the first few months of launch. Definitely won’t make the mistake of others influencing my purchase or support of it if I decide to get it. Ive done that with games like BattleFront 2 only later to find out it was a great game even with its stupid mtx system.

I remember playing Battlefield 3 back in 2011, and I said to everyone I was playing with "Just you wait, now that EA see's Battlefield as a contester to rival CoD, they're going to f*ck it up somehow"... and here we are 13 years later and I was not wrong. Andrew Wilson has literally destroyed that franchise trying to mimic what Fortnite and Apex Legends. And will continue to throw shit at the wall until it sticks, Wilson is not a gamer, he is a big-wig Wall Street tycoon that has no connection with gamer sentiment. Whatever makes EA more moneys. For once, EA needs to realize that BF doesn't have to be a battle royal kind of game. What made it popular was it being a solid, realistic FPS that simulated real warfare. I also always thought to alleviate DICE's burden on carrying the BF franchise, they should revive Medal of Honor to cycle it from another developer. Similar to how CoD is cycled from SH, Infinity and Treyarch. Just to give players another cool FPS IP and something new to play when the next BF/MoH is being made. How they will have gone on for almost 4 years with no BF game is insane. I have very little hope BF will be what it once was from BF3/4

Wow.. I sure do hope, it’s a fleshed out finished game with multiple game modes and scoreboards… and lots of guns… and good maps…. Sighhhh
