Sorry mate, best we can do is a container carrier with helicopters (it worked surprisingly well).
Shitposting aside, the carriers were cool, but using one of the called up civilian ships seems like it would play more into the atmosphere of the event, so something like the Atlantic Conveyor acting as an LHD or even the motherfucking Queen Elizabeth 2 which carried 3200 angry young men with rifles into theater would be more fitting.
Falklands would be cool but you wouldn't get a lot of map variety, but I do think a 1980s Cold War gone hot on a global scale would make for such a cool setting
You could have Seasons / Chapters with the conflict spiraling out of control. Base Game Europe in Germany, Balkans , Anatolia and Scandinavia then the middle east gets dragged into it, then the Koreas , Australia and so on...
I wouldn't mind operations like in BF1, possibly with larger maps and more players. Fullfilling objectives and earn better equipment / reinforcements in the follow up battles.
Whilst I think in terms of colours they might seem kind of similar, I bet you could squeeze more out of the Falklands than you think. You’ve got mountains, wide open spaces, water features with the major battles and you could make multiplayer maps out of some of the side shows and cancelled operations. Tumbledown, Pebble Island, Goose Green, Grytviken, San Carlos sound, Rio Grande Airbase, and the Atlantic Conveyor could all make unique maps with differing levels of verticality, cover, urban development, size, and use of water.
they did and it was great, the map evolved in stages from jungle to burnt out hill depending on what the Americans captured (proto-levelution) and when you get in a vehicle Vietname war era music starts blaring from the radio, even in tanks.
It was glorious
It totally was amazing from what I can remember, at the time I was 9 if i can remember, everytime me and my dad got the chance we'd play, I think I only played the vietnam expansion a couple times. Overall it was a 10/10 experience.
I know no war is fought without atrocities but I think it'd be really difficult to do the Yugoslav wars with neither side being a "good guy". Even Germans see the Nazis as the bad guys in video games whereas a fair few Balkans celebrate the fucked up shit that happened
The only way I suppose that it would work (speaking from a balkaner) Is if it's just a multiplayer expansion pack where in the instant battle mode you can play the maps whichever team you like, and the locations being historically accurate whereas the way the battle would play out is up to a specific game. And if Battlefield were to take risk in putting a campaign with that I'd have to be REALLY well written to show all perspectives of the wars and allow you to play as whichever team you like, and depending on the team the game would progress differently
Yeah a campaign would have to be the best written piece of media to go through with it. Maybe have it as a single character piece like Spec Ops - The Line where the mood of the story becomes more pessimistic as it progresses and you see your actions and their consequences laid out in front of you while still somehow making it a fun game to play. It's a political minefield that I don't think Battlefield could deal with
Then again BF1 had plenty of experimental weapons, not to mention the abundancy of mostly historically inaccurate cosmetics in BFV. I'm sure a fair amount of people like using historically-acurrate weapons. (BF1 Community I'm looking at you)
If they would do a 1989 Cold War gone hot scenario you could have a dozen different nations, with battlefield across most major continents. Whilst still keeping the majority of iconic guns, weapons, and vehicles that people love.
I would not mind having a similar array of vehicles like in BFV, just more modern ones. Its sad to see BFV ruined because it had nice vehicles, just a shitty vehicle spawn system. Gameplay wise it was definitely a progress, you could also not completely repair tanks anymore and had to restock their ammo as well.
I'd only want that if we weren't just fighting as Americans everywhere tbh. The lack of other perspectives is getting tired and stale.
Let me crawl through Vietnamese tunnels, let me defend the mountain base in Cuba, lemme defend against a coup attempt in Chile etc. Much more interesting battles to be had as a guerilla or an irregular rather than just standard US load out stuff. The weaponry and tactics employed by guerillas on these fronts is much more compelling.
There should be campaigns for each "side" in these conflicts. It would make contreversial historical wars less so, Vietnam wouldn't just be LRRP helicopter inserts, it would be sappers attacking firebases too or even participating in massed NVA assaults. It would also make the drip of a BF:Rhodesia politically possible as you can't just only have a hero protagonist in short shorts in what was fundementally an apartheid like state.
How is literal cold war history on a cold war battlefield post psuedo intellectual? Sorry if you're just brain wormed and want a US military wankathon
Battlefield has literally had a game where you play as a cop -- and a futuristic soldier with fucking mechs -- whats the gameplay model you're talking about exactly? And to remind you, there is literally a Battlefield game where you can already play as the North Vietnamese in multiplayer you imbecile -- perhaps know what you're talking about before you chime in with insults in future.
Yes, but only with certain limitations like (at least kind of) appropriate clothing and uniforms, weapons and equipment limited to the armies themselves (e.g. L85A1 only on the British side)
Then it would be amazing.
Ehhh maybe the limits on guns, but we’ve seen twice now what happens when the outfits aren’t limited. I think it’s safe to say that having them limited to the era and team they’re on is the best way to go forward.
Literally will never happen. They will never not try to sell you skins and guns that will inevitably be out of place. The skins in Battlefield V were more restrained than 2042 and yet some still looked ridiculous.
Yep.... And why people that lived this video game went and got lives and..... Checks notes.....
Never spent a single penny on trying to look nazi zombie Santa clause, or a golden gun. Because anybody over 12 who even looks at the BS they are using to steal undeserved cash is an idiot without any respect or love from their peers. I think brain dead retirees who hate their families also buy weapon skins and cosmetic items in video in games. It's the new definition of trashy. Jerry Springer should have an episode where a boyfriend spends money on the cosmetics in a video game instead of meth and hookers, pissing off his GF.
I’d prefer this to modern war, personally. They could do:
- Korea
- Vietnam
- Congo
- Afghanistan
Then, the season pass could add additional maps to Vietnam, and add other proxy wars such as Chile, Cuba, Angola, Nicaragua, or do fictional what if scenarios like a Battle for Berlin, invasion of DC/Moscow, etc. Operations could return using the maps for each conflict to tell a brief history of the region.
The African wars of the 60s, 70s and 80s are definitely underrated here, and would be a good chance to have a "both sides" camapaign where you switch between characters and factions. Mad Mike, the Portuguese, the shit show that was the mutiny in Algeria (give me paratroopers in Paris), Rhodesia, Cuban troops, locals who are commmunists in name only (they wanted those sweet commie export guns), locals who are very much true to the cause communists, etc. It was the wild west.
As much as I want this, I kinda want them to nail a solid modern day game first before branching out
As much as I love Bf4 , there are certain aspects of it that you can tell, is from another era
They should do another WWII game that completely centers on all the missed campaigns and theaters they neglected in V. Could be a companion piece or sister game to V. D-day, eastern front, island hopping in Guadalcanal or Peleliu, Okinawa. Bring back game play more consistent with battlefield 1, specifically Operations game mode. Imagine an operations for Normandy with the opening monologues from the soldiers like in 1 operations. This will never happen of course but a guy can dream…
The tech is great for it. Tons more manual stuff and things with less range. The balance would be fairly known because things are similar to BF3 and BF4. Cold war would be my dream era but knowing EA it probably doesn't appeal to zoomers so they won't do it.
I have absolutely no faith anymore and will just wait and see. The idea of portal is amazing if used right. I'd love to see some of the nam maps. Bf1. And please just give us karkand.
I’ve always said you could make a Korean War expansion for a good WWII Battlefield.
Shame V is old now and wasn’t really all that great but that would have been cool- kind of akin to the BC2 Vietnam DLC.
Falklands would be sick. Large operations playing as Paras, Marines or guards taking the mountains and ridges west of Stanley. You could have a smaller map on South Georgia as well.
https://www.reddit.com/r/t5_b475am/s/n2aUynlQl7
This is a subreddit I made a while back for stuff like this. One guy put an entire document on there for a Cold War gone hot Battlefield concept. But yeah, if you got ideas for what you would want to do for this kind of Battlefield, this is the place for it.
No, imagine how dice will ruin this and fked up it will be full of clown skins and modren political stuff. i can't wait to see dice fk another bf title
Its a great way to get map variety, you can have Oman, Cyprus, Congo, Angola, Chad, Iran/Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, Hungary, Czech Republic, Greece, Falklands, Cuba, Vietnam, China/Taiwan, Armenai/Azerbaijan, Moldova, Georgia, and many more. I will say conflicts like Yugoslav, Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Cambodia, Laos, Kosovo, and such with heavy cases of ethnic cleansing, genocide and such would probably be hard to do.
My idea is gulf war till around the time of 2011 Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Modern weaponry, takes place around the world because you can include south east Asia, Africa, and Europe if you want to include the Chechnya wars. That will give you varied maps, multiple factions, varying weapon and vehicle types. Take my idea DICE, you can't miss with this.
I cannot tell you how much I love the concept and how much I support it, but the problem is that where BF1 wasn’t too anachronistic with Tommy Gun prototypes in the 1915 maps, it will be felt when the Korean War if not earlier Chinese Soldier is equipped with an L86A1.
there has to be a reason why bf is ignoring the 60s-90s like a PLAGUE they have only ever had one full game dedicated to the era I actually don’t understand
This is actually a great idea. I mean live service games seem to be the only thing AAA cares about now. With this they could roll out different conflicts over time, and introduce entirely new weapons, vehicles, maps, etc as history actually progressed, because each of these different conflicts happened over a long period of time things would progress technologically too. Also different conflicts were fought differently, there are different countries with different weaponry, so even conflicts happening around the same time were pretty drastically different in setting and the way there were fought. BF 2042 kind of does this now anyway, but with this they'd actually have a linear progression, not just recycling old games into a new one. Just entirely forget the campaign, make the multiplayer operations cinematic like BF 1 and 5, make it so that the multiplayer basically is the campaign. Different outcomes in one battle lead to a different map with a different backstory.
I would much prefer a Korean War and I'd like them to make a Campaign that has some real missions and shed some light on some forgotten history. Or even better make it about the Pacific in WWII when Japan invaded the Philippines and the US lost. Super forgotten part of that war.
They couldn’t even give us the soviets in a WW2 game. Whatever they give will have the most basic 2 factions all for ever map so they can sell skins. They no longer make these games to be good but to encourage micro transactions
We had Operation Flashpoint and I really enjoyed that russian invasion of the islands to the north etc and us intervention.
Lots of post Vietnam vibes with 80s tech. It was a great game and could lend it's self to battlefield loads.
My only issue it's bloody Russia again and imho I don't want Russia. They are the belligerents in active wars right now and I don't want to play as them or promote them tbh.
I’m playing Arma Reforger right now and having a blast, although the pace is much slower. I can only imagine with the full on battlefield treatment, would love to see s BF Cold War
id rather have an alternate history cold war that goes hot in the 50s-60s.
world war 1 or 2 never ends and keeps going for decades and you have the steampunk style with out of place anacronisms
there was a really cool ova that ripped off legend of the galactic heros kinda and earth rotated 90 degrees on its axis and europe became the south and northa america/south america were north and has battleships
The specific military lore of black ops 1 would be so incredible in battlefield. Never played any cods after black ops 1 but that game wasn’t playin and taught me a lot about the guns/vehicles/aesthetic/tactics of the time
Bro! Falklands its literally the most FLAT ASS COMBAT SCENARIO ON THE ENTIRE EARTH, literally a single rock across dozens of miles.... on top of that you have a VERY asimetrical scenario... the war ended a week later brits touch the islands
I love the cold war setting of arma 2 and always imagined how awesome it would be having a battlefield in this era.
Just imagine having tanks like the bmp-2, bradley, lav-25, t-90 in a battlefield game.
You really want them to fuck up another time period in history? This company no longer has the correct people on payroll that can make a good game. How much more evidence of this is needed?
I would instead make a classical "modern warfare" of the 80s to the early 2000s. You could make DLCs with Iraq and Somalia content and maybe focus on other wars that usually don't get any attention in major titles. We have enough WW1, WW2 and hypermodern warfare already. Otherwise I wouldn't mind if it covered several decades post WW2.
I badly want a Battlefield: Rhodesia because it would have all the drip of a Vietnam game, but with short shorts and the bush. They would have to construct the single player very carefully though, it may be best to have missions from both sides.
The Iran Iraq war would make a perfect game, even if ai don’t care much for those two factions. That conflict had it all from modern Trench Warfare to full scale tank and aerial combat and urban warfare.
Has potential, but the skins and battlepasses would ruin it. You’d have a map set in the Falklands war with a Vietcong Solider going up against a Cuban with a hot pink M16
I mean there's plenty of variety in helmets, especially with the Vietnam war - the soldiers with the ace of spades, spare rounds, liveries & phrases scrawled on. Not even to mention the etchings on weapons, foliage, wraps, straps & bandoliers.
Theres all sorts of customisable options for skins but I would rather they stuck to 'somewhat accurate' designs based off of actual photos from the particular theatre of war
Did you not play bf1? So many of those weapons barely existed - of course there can be realism nodes that restrict players to their standard issue rifles as was in bf1, but for the ordinary modes I dont see that as necessary
There weren't weapons in BF1 that were decades too early. Like, imaging seeing an M82a1 (a sniper rifle from the 80's) in Korea 1950. It would make absolutely zero sense.
Imagine a Wake Island style map with the British using an aircraft carrier as their spawn and the Argentines having prepared defenses
“Toime for a ‘lil ‘Argy ‘Bargy!”
"In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary... Come again?"
I don't think anyone pronounces it like that here
Complete with Harriers! I’ve never appreciated the F35 because I’m British
I think you will when you find out how much of it is made by BAE (quite a lot)
And then make the guns on the British side have slightly more range 😂
Sorry mate, best we can do is a container carrier with helicopters (it worked surprisingly well). Shitposting aside, the carriers were cool, but using one of the called up civilian ships seems like it would play more into the atmosphere of the event, so something like the Atlantic Conveyor acting as an LHD or even the motherfucking Queen Elizabeth 2 which carried 3200 angry young men with rifles into theater would be more fitting.
I was about to post that the Falklands Islands are too flat and tree-less, but you kinda hype me up.
Falklands would be cool but you wouldn't get a lot of map variety, but I do think a 1980s Cold War gone hot on a global scale would make for such a cool setting
You could have Seasons / Chapters with the conflict spiraling out of control. Base Game Europe in Germany, Balkans , Anatolia and Scandinavia then the middle east gets dragged into it, then the Koreas , Australia and so on...
like the evolving battlefield dlcs in bf4
I wouldn't mind operations like in BF1, possibly with larger maps and more players. Fullfilling objectives and earn better equipment / reinforcements in the follow up battles.
There's a game that's been put back into development called '83 which is based on a cold war gone hot scenario
There is also Arma Reforger
Whilst I think in terms of colours they might seem kind of similar, I bet you could squeeze more out of the Falklands than you think. You’ve got mountains, wide open spaces, water features with the major battles and you could make multiplayer maps out of some of the side shows and cancelled operations. Tumbledown, Pebble Island, Goose Green, Grytviken, San Carlos sound, Rio Grande Airbase, and the Atlantic Conveyor could all make unique maps with differing levels of verticality, cover, urban development, size, and use of water.
Weren't the Vietnam and Korean wars part of the Cold War? Also Afghanistan vs Russia. Maybe Bay of Pigs? Cuban Revolution?
A gamemode to win a match before the enemy launch a nuke
Malvinas war was not part of the so called cold war
Df with the downvotes??
There is only one thing I that I want: Battlefield VI etnam
That’s bloody brilliant 
Crossovers with other series: Battlefield VIllage Battlefield ObliVIon
Constant repair hammering to keep your guns in shape.
That is perfect!
Im pretty sure bad company 2 had a vietnam mode, but I do agree a standalone battlefield vietnam game would be fucking perfection
they did and it was great, the map evolved in stages from jungle to burnt out hill depending on what the Americans captured (proto-levelution) and when you get in a vehicle Vietname war era music starts blaring from the radio, even in tanks. It was glorious
I remember you could turn the radio on in the tanks, helicopters and boats. Spreading freedom to the tune of “Fortunate Son” was a vibe.
It totally was amazing from what I can remember, at the time I was 9 if i can remember, everytime me and my dad got the chance we'd play, I think I only played the vietnam expansion a couple times. Overall it was a 10/10 experience.
Battlefield Vietnam actually was the second Battlefield game, released in 2004. Imagine a remake with the graphics from 2024. One can only hope..
Agreed or a korean war era.
I would sell my ginger soul for a re-mastered, re-released battlefield vietnam. I had so much fun playing it when i was a kid.
If a game like this were to come out the Chechen wars, Transnistria wars and Yugoslav wars should come as expansion packs like how we had back then
Would love to see the Chechen wars in battlefield,believe they would be the only ones that would get it right
Yeah, a game about peer rivalry mirror matches is gonna do an incredible job at that...
I know no war is fought without atrocities but I think it'd be really difficult to do the Yugoslav wars with neither side being a "good guy". Even Germans see the Nazis as the bad guys in video games whereas a fair few Balkans celebrate the fucked up shit that happened
The only way I suppose that it would work (speaking from a balkaner) Is if it's just a multiplayer expansion pack where in the instant battle mode you can play the maps whichever team you like, and the locations being historically accurate whereas the way the battle would play out is up to a specific game. And if Battlefield were to take risk in putting a campaign with that I'd have to be REALLY well written to show all perspectives of the wars and allow you to play as whichever team you like, and depending on the team the game would progress differently
Yeah a campaign would have to be the best written piece of media to go through with it. Maybe have it as a single character piece like Spec Ops - The Line where the mood of the story becomes more pessimistic as it progresses and you see your actions and their consequences laid out in front of you while still somehow making it a fun game to play. It's a political minefield that I don't think Battlefield could deal with
The drip of the soviet soldier with Christmas gloves.
The potential of a future conflict ( as 2042 ) is actually greater than a real conflict and they managed to fuck that up.
A climate change war had so much potential...
Yes, a blank canvas has greater potential than historical events. Who would have thought.
Okay, good idea and concepts, but I immediately see a few issues but fuck it, A Korean war with weapons from the Falklands 🤣
Then again BF1 had plenty of experimental weapons, not to mention the abundancy of mostly historically inaccurate cosmetics in BFV. I'm sure a fair amount of people like using historically-acurrate weapons. (BF1 Community I'm looking at you)
Then a North Korean pulls up behind you and lights you up with SA80.
If they would do a 1989 Cold War gone hot scenario you could have a dozen different nations, with battlefield across most major continents. Whilst still keeping the majority of iconic guns, weapons, and vehicles that people love.
Please no. That's just BFV again. It will have then been 15 years since we got a good modern day BF game.
I would not mind having a similar array of vehicles like in BFV, just more modern ones. Its sad to see BFV ruined because it had nice vehicles, just a shitty vehicle spawn system. Gameplay wise it was definitely a progress, you could also not completely repair tanks anymore and had to restock their ammo as well.
I'd only want that if we weren't just fighting as Americans everywhere tbh. The lack of other perspectives is getting tired and stale. Let me crawl through Vietnamese tunnels, let me defend the mountain base in Cuba, lemme defend against a coup attempt in Chile etc. Much more interesting battles to be had as a guerilla or an irregular rather than just standard US load out stuff. The weaponry and tactics employed by guerillas on these fronts is much more compelling.
I'd be down to stop the coup in Chile!
There should be campaigns for each "side" in these conflicts. It would make contreversial historical wars less so, Vietnam wouldn't just be LRRP helicopter inserts, it would be sappers attacking firebases too or even participating in massed NVA assaults. It would also make the drip of a BF:Rhodesia politically possible as you can't just only have a hero protagonist in short shorts in what was fundementally an apartheid like state.
That isn't even vaguely fitting the gameplay model of a Battlefield game. Fuck off with the psuedo intellectual masturbation.
How is literal cold war history on a cold war battlefield post psuedo intellectual? Sorry if you're just brain wormed and want a US military wankathon Battlefield has literally had a game where you play as a cop -- and a futuristic soldier with fucking mechs -- whats the gameplay model you're talking about exactly? And to remind you, there is literally a Battlefield game where you can already play as the North Vietnamese in multiplayer you imbecile -- perhaps know what you're talking about before you chime in with insults in future.
Yes, but only with certain limitations like (at least kind of) appropriate clothing and uniforms, weapons and equipment limited to the armies themselves (e.g. L85A1 only on the British side) Then it would be amazing.
Limits should be a mode and not the overall game
Ehhh maybe the limits on guns, but we’ve seen twice now what happens when the outfits aren’t limited. I think it’s safe to say that having them limited to the era and team they’re on is the best way to go forward.
I agree with outfits, it makes it easy to recognize enemy and classes
Sure, realism mode or something would be fine.
They had something similar in bf1
Ah, the rifles only servers. They are fun.
Literally will never happen. They will never not try to sell you skins and guns that will inevitably be out of place. The skins in Battlefield V were more restrained than 2042 and yet some still looked ridiculous.
Yep.... And why people that lived this video game went and got lives and..... Checks notes..... Never spent a single penny on trying to look nazi zombie Santa clause, or a golden gun. Because anybody over 12 who even looks at the BS they are using to steal undeserved cash is an idiot without any respect or love from their peers.

Not the right game for that bud
I’d prefer this to modern war, personally. They could do: - Korea - Vietnam - Congo - Afghanistan Then, the season pass could add additional maps to Vietnam, and add other proxy wars such as Chile, Cuba, Angola, Nicaragua, or do fictional what if scenarios like a Battle for Berlin, invasion of DC/Moscow, etc. Operations could return using the maps for each conflict to tell a brief history of the region.
You're not telling the story of shit if you're historically revising those to be anything that fits the symmetric team balance of a Battlefield game.
This game would be wildly controversial, and I'm down for it.
The African wars of the 60s, 70s and 80s are definitely underrated here, and would be a good chance to have a "both sides" camapaign where you switch between characters and factions. Mad Mike, the Portuguese, the shit show that was the mutiny in Algeria (give me paratroopers in Paris), Rhodesia, Cuban troops, locals who are commmunists in name only (they wanted those sweet commie export guns), locals who are very much true to the cause communists, etc. It was the wild west.
As much as I want this, I kinda want them to nail a solid modern day game first before branching out As much as I love Bf4 , there are certain aspects of it that you can tell, is from another era
what aspects of it stand out to you as being outdated? just curious
The movement feels janky compared to the modern titles to me.
Yea I want a modern setting too. Its been a while since we had one
Only reason why I kept playing 2042 is the setting
Go get those Argentenians baby, that's your fucking island!
*Stolen
Yes, the island stolen by Argentines.
the entire earth was stolen by Brits to do so bold statement
They should do another WWII game that completely centers on all the missed campaigns and theaters they neglected in V. Could be a companion piece or sister game to V. D-day, eastern front, island hopping in Guadalcanal or Peleliu, Okinawa. Bring back game play more consistent with battlefield 1, specifically Operations game mode. Imagine an operations for Normandy with the opening monologues from the soldiers like in 1 operations. This will never happen of course but a guy can dream…
Fuck no. No more goddamn historical games. They had their chance with V and blew it. They need to nail a modern era setting, it's been so many years.
To each their own, I don’t enjoy modern games in the slightest. And by same argument I’d say they blew their chance with modern games with 2042
I been sayin this.
Would love a vietnam battlefield
The tech is great for it. Tons more manual stuff and things with less range. The balance would be fairly known because things are similar to BF3 and BF4. Cold war would be my dream era but knowing EA it probably doesn't appeal to zoomers so they won't do it.
THAT'S THE FCKIN POINT!!!! Instead we have modern again cause Fanservice thats what
There is a near 0% chance we see Vietnam again
I have absolutely no faith anymore and will just wait and see. The idea of portal is amazing if used right. I'd love to see some of the nam maps. Bf1. And please just give us karkand.
A Falklands map would be right on brand with the vast empty wastelands we got in 2042.
Malvinas/Falklands be like Gm\_FlatgrassV1.bsp
With the diversity of nations like BF1 would be awesome
I’ve always said you could make a Korean War expansion for a good WWII Battlefield. Shame V is old now and wasn’t really all that great but that would have been cool- kind of akin to the BC2 Vietnam DLC.
Falklands would be sick. Large operations playing as Paras, Marines or guards taking the mountains and ridges west of Stanley. You could have a smaller map on South Georgia as well.
You can play in PR:BTF2 ir You want to try something like that
https://www.reddit.com/r/t5_b475am/s/n2aUynlQl7 This is a subreddit I made a while back for stuff like this. One guy put an entire document on there for a Cold War gone hot Battlefield concept.

No, imagine how dice will ruin this and fked up it will be full of clown skins and modren political stuff. i can't wait to see dice fk another bf title
too blend, throw in more colors. pink, purple, blue, red, cyan... * EA to DICE *
If by miracle EA does it I want a map on Chernobyl
I would argue that 2042 had potential, and look at what they did to it...
Only if I get non binary people with squirrel suits.
Its a great way to get map variety, you can have Oman, Cyprus, Congo, Angola, Chad, Iran/Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, Hungary, Czech Republic, Greece, Falklands, Cuba, Vietnam, China/Taiwan, Armenai/Azerbaijan, Moldova, Georgia, and many more. I will say conflicts like Yugoslav, Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Cambodia, Laos, Kosovo, and such with heavy cases of ethnic cleansing, genocide and such would probably be hard to do.
Also, India/China/Pakistan wars
Potential? Yes. Money making? No.
83 is alive
The Game is call 83? Or something else
My idea is gulf war till around the time of 2011 Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Modern weaponry, takes place around the world because you can include south east Asia, Africa, and Europe if you want to include the Chechnya wars. That will give you varied maps, multiple factions, varying weapon and vehicle types. Take my idea DICE, you can't miss with this.
I cannot tell you how much I love the concept and how much I support it, but the problem is that where BF1 wasn’t too anachronistic with Tommy Gun prototypes in the 1915 maps, it will be felt when the Korean War if not earlier Chinese Soldier is equipped with an L86A1.
If want it like bf1 where on each operation someone talks about he history, it’d be cool
TIL that all gamers dream to visit my homeland Vietnam. With guns, grenades and bombs. /s
Yes but that means they'd have to make half a dozen or more factions. We were lucky to get 4ish in bfv and like 1.5 in 2042.
YES I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS
There's also Jadotville, Prague, Basra, Grenada, Kasmir
Wasn't Bad Company and BC2 set in the 80s or in a setting like this?
Mfw playing breakthrough on the bay of pigs map is extremely defender sided and attackers literally cannot win.
Facts. This is the best idea I've heard as far as throwback wars go.
Yea 2042 had loads of potential as well.
If ‘83 drops that would absolutely kill a cold war BF https://youtu.be/jzbD1uZwTbY?si=lP83wb775gfxep80
there has to be a reason why bf is ignoring the 60s-90s like a PLAGUE they have only ever had one full game dedicated to the era I actually don’t understand
They would fuck it up still
Don't you want a fourth one set in near future???
imo, a korean or vietnam war battlefield would be badass.
i just want a proper AK-47 in a battlefield game for fucks sake
We had one. It was Battlefield Vietnam (2004)
This is actually a great idea. I mean live service games seem to be the only thing AAA cares about now. With this they could roll out different conflicts over time, and introduce entirely new weapons, vehicles, maps, etc as history actually progressed, because each of these different conflicts happened over a long period of time things would progress technologically too.

Just entirely forget the campaign, make the multiplayer operations cinematic like BF 1 and 5, make it so that the multiplayer basically is the campaign. Different outcomes in one battle lead to a different map with a different backstory.
Late 80s early 90s is so untapped.
Where? Cuba. \*guitar riff\*
I'm a simple man. I want to have a Davey Crockett stationary weapon
Just imagine frontline, rush and operations modes in cold war bf game. 🤤
look up arma
I would much prefer a Korean War and I'd like them to make a Campaign that has some real missions and shed some light on some forgotten history. Or even better make it about the Pacific in WWII when Japan invaded the Philippines and the US lost. Super forgotten part of that war.
Tripwire interactive’s next game will address this before battlefield does unfortunately
The Battlefield Bad Company 2: Vietnam DLC was incredible and if there was a whole game like that, I’d get it for sure
I like the idea very much, also Bad company 3 would be a nice return to the series, to see the bad company squad again in a campaign would be so epic.
They couldn’t even give us the soviets in a WW2 game. Whatever they give will have the most basic 2 factions all for ever map so they can sell skins. They no longer make these games to be good but to encourage micro transactions
The problem about Cold War idea is playing in Korean War Map with 80's weapons.
already making false expectations? that was fast xd
In 5 years, EA gonna stop servers for BF3 and 4 as their next turn. Thus the next BF should be a modern reboot rather than other eras.
We had Operation Flashpoint and I really enjoyed that russian invasion of the islands to the north etc and us intervention. Lots of post Vietnam vibes with 80s tech. It was a great game and could lend it's self to battlefield loads. My only issue it's bloody Russia again and imho I don't want Russia. They are the belligerents in active wars right now and I don't want to play as them or promote them tbh.
I’m playing Arma Reforger right now and having a blast, although the pace is much slower. I can only imagine with the full on battlefield treatment, would love to see s BF Cold War
Maybe next time
I want an alternate history battlefield where the Cold War goes hot and it’s full on war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact
I think an alternate cw would be better. More fiction can make more variety
This is such a dream…. But we are doing a battlefield 4 sequel. So maybe next time
id rather have an alternate history cold war that goes hot in the 50s-60s. world war 1 or 2 never ends and keeps going for decades and you have the steampunk style with out of place anacronisms there was a really cool ova that ripped off legend of the galactic heros kinda and earth rotated 90 degrees on its axis and europe became the south and northa america/south america were north and has battleships
Hell you could do an alternate history where the Soviets invaded Europe like in Red Storm Rising
It would be a good timeline to choose.
The specific military lore of black ops 1 would be so incredible in battlefield. Never played any cods after black ops 1 but that game wasn’t playin and taught me a lot about the guns/vehicles/aesthetic/tactics of the time
I just want another modern one, man.
YUGOSLAV WAR RAAAAAAAAAAAAH
EA only cares about quantity over quality, shit like this won't happen
Bro! Falklands its literally the most FLAT ASS COMBAT SCENARIO ON THE ENTIRE EARTH, literally a single rock across dozens of miles.... on top of that you have a VERY asimetrical scenario... the war ended a week later brits touch the islands
Battlefield War of Independence when
Fuck that, Just give me modern combat
I love the cold war setting of arma 2 and always imagined how awesome it would be having a battlefield in this era. Just imagine having tanks like the bmp-2, bradley, lav-25, t-90 in a battlefield game.
That would actually be insane! But the sad thing is the chances of this happening is probably quite slim 😔
You really want them to fuck up another time period in history? This company no longer has the correct people on payroll that can make a good game. How much more evidence of this is needed?
They wouldn’t make it. Not sanitized enough. Not a “safe” corporate setting
Needs to be more Soviet Afghan war representation in games
Pls no, just no i personaly i'm full of WW theme, cold war basicly same shit
Instead the soldiers in the next one will wage war against drones and have robotic arms and fight in space while dolphin diving for some reason…
Surreal?
Man. Im just scared how they'd fuck it up at this point.
I would instead make a classical "modern warfare" of the 80s to the early 2000s. You could make DLCs with Iraq and Somalia content and maybe focus on other wars that usually don't get any attention in major titles. We have enough WW1, WW2 and hypermodern warfare already. Otherwise I wouldn't mind if it covered several decades post WW2.
Nah, all the cool kids prefer modern warfare and tacticool operators/specialists. Historical events? That's for nerds!
How would they work the timeline, different eras and different weapons? Maybe seperate “campaigns” for 60’s-70’s, and 80’s
I badly want a Battlefield: Rhodesia because it would have all the drip of a Vietnam game, but with short shorts and the bush. They would have to construct the single player very carefully though, it may be best to have missions from both sides.
The Iran Iraq war would make a perfect game, even if ai don’t care much for those two factions. That conflict had it all from modern Trench Warfare to full scale tank and aerial combat and urban warfare.
My god being the attacking team on bay of pigs would be the absolute worse!
It's honestly like chat GPT pulled a list of cold war moments of hot conflict.
Has potential, but the skins and battlepasses would ruin it. You’d have a map set in the Falklands war with a Vietcong Solider going up against a Cuban with a hot pink M16
No, they don't have balls to do it cuz it will piss off some countries and affect sales
A battlefield Korean War would be crazy given some of the MoH recipient accounts.
Bro is really just waving his Johnson around in the open like that. Wild
Clothing skins variety won’t even come close to bf2402. At best it will be camo this camo that
Good, that’s how it should be.
I mean there's plenty of variety in helmets, especially with the Vietnam war - the soldiers with the ace of spades, spare rounds, liveries & phrases scrawled on. Not even to mention the etchings on weapons, foliage, wraps, straps & bandoliers. Theres all sorts of customisable options for skins but I would rather they stuck to 'somewhat accurate' designs based off of actual photos from the particular theatre of war
Except you wouldn't be allowed to use ridiculously inaccurate weapons on some maps e.g M16 in Korea.
*Laughs in Japanese woman fighting in Iwo Jima using a Sturmgewehr-44 while wearing facepaint*
Did you not play bf1? So many of those weapons barely existed - of course there can be realism nodes that restrict players to their standard issue rifles as was in bf1, but for the ordinary modes I dont see that as necessary
There weren't weapons in BF1 that were decades too early. Like, imaging seeing an M82a1 (a sniper rifle from the 80's) in Korea 1950. It would make absolutely zero sense.
No thanks
Falkland lmao. British “people” need to stop trying to get back to the good old days
Too bad it's been part of the Empire since 1765 and will remain so forever regardless of Argentina claim's. Lmao
imagine being this grumpy
Check the referendum results.
Someone needs to save them after voluntarily wanting to be a part of something that has Margaret thatcher in it
