A whole squad of five can fit in the ground vehicles and work together. However, vehicle crews get their own classes, so if you spawn in a plane you’re a Pilot, and if you are in a Tank you’re an Engineer. The classes also go back to BF 1942 - Assault, Medic, Support, Scout - with a bit of a cross from Battlefield 2 in the roles. Oh well, they do it with movies, I guess it is too late to stop this trend. Then again, EA Star Wars Battlefront doesn’t even have a number, and it is a reboot of the game of the same name. It does mean that the sequel can’t be BF2 without being confusing. A pretty daring story line, I would say.īattlefield 1? It makes sense as a reboot of the whole series, and there never was a BF 1 before.

I never played it, as I started the series with BF1942, but it was an alternative history take on WW II, where a Russian hero has to save the world from a coup which would lead to a tyrant taking over the world, and restore the lost Tsarina to the throne. But hey, they did it.ĭid you know that BF 1942 is actually derived from a World War I game? Codename: Eagle, a 1999 FPS game from Refraction Games (who created the Refractor Engine, and were purchased by DICE to become the heart of the team which created Battlefield). The thought that DICE would actually go back to their roots and do a Great War game didn’t occur to me, and I took rumors that it was going to happen with a grain of salt. I honestly thought we’d be more likely to get either a modern warfare sequel to BF4, or an updated, cold-war-ish take for Bad Company 3. When I was speculating about the future of Battlefield, I considered a World War II game with the new Frostbite engine as a strong candidate. For the typical ground-pounder role that players take in Battlefield, BF1 will look and feel a lot like BF 1942, with nicer graphics. Both world wars have far more in common, especially from the standpoint of the soldiers on the ground, than the Cold War and Modern Warfare eras.īasic rifles with iron sights, no electronics, no smart weapons, relatively slow vehicles and limited heavy weapons for individual soldiers (crew served weapons were more powerful, and those were what largely made Trench Warfare happen). No, the nature of the governments, nationalism, and alliances was different, but the weapons and tactics used at the start were very much like those used in 1918. In many ways, the start of World War II was just the Great War, Part II. It has been said that the 1918 Armistice was just a 20 year truce before the war resumed. You know, when Battlefield 1942 was born? I love the White Stripes music, it not only fits so well, it was best rock song of 2004 (came out in 2003). Have you seen the Battlefield 1 trailer? Most likely, it has loads of views and likes. Battlefield 1: The Reboot Of Battlefield 1942?
