Next Battlefield Reportedly Reverting to Pre-2042 Features
A new report claims the next Battlefield entry will abandon many of the features that were introduced in Battlefield 2042. It's no secret that Battlefield 2042 launched in a dismal state late last year. The online-only military shooter hit store shelves with a wide array of issues, including game-breaking glitches, server-side errors, and performance troubles. While DICE managed to fix a fair few problems, even the most veteran of Battlefield players found the futuristic shooter difficult to enjoy.
Longtime fans were especially dismayed by the advent of Specialist roles, characters who ultimately replaced the franchise's traditional class-based system. The lack of a story campaign did not sit well with Battlefield users, either. In addition, the 128-player matches, though they once seemed like a dream to some, also failed to hit the mark. Battlefield 2042's constantly dwindling player count suggests most users have long moved on to something else, though developers continue to work on post-launch improvements. Suffice it to say, EA and DICE will likely revisit the drawing board when deciding what's next for the long-running FPS series.
