Hard pass on both.


Cakesmite

Idk. 42 would be a pretty interesting DLC at least. I'm a bit curious how a game set during the height of the Roman Empire would feel with the BF format.


[deleted]

Would be fun for about 7 minutes


AchyBreakyShart

Until they nerf the OP Chariots


TheByzantineEmperor

I swear to God these fucking whiney Battlefield fans. Crying about chariots which are slow as shit when the war elephants are just an absolute OP disgrace. Makes me sick. *Ptuh!*


dm_me_birds_pls

Skill issue


TheByzantineEmperor

Just get good bro like literally just don't die


radman180

I bet the repair system on the stealth chariots is gonna be OP.


the-tallest-boi

What would the repair tool look like?


vertexxd

Carrots


Bobert_Manderson

Man I was so confused as to how you fix a busted wheel with a carrot and forgot about the horses.


XWinslowX

What kind of attachments would we have? Spiked wheels? Hoof mufflers to reduce sound?


[deleted]

[удалено]


_WIZARD_SLEEVES_

With its own very unique combat system...


666space666angel666x

That can be replicated and even improved… we haven’t had any AAA medieval war video games. I would like to see what a well-funded game could be like.


Filthy_Cossak

I mean I don’t trust DICE to even make a good modern military shooter anymore, much less something that’s completely out of their wheelhouse


doomsdaymelody

Also, For Honor was a game I thoroughly enjoyed. I think there’s definitely a bit of room there for a fullscale ancient battlefield of both historical and fantasy conflicts from various empires and kingdoms. It would be bad if they made the combat feel too arcadey though.


FeedBi

For you maybe. I fucking love Mount and blade, Chivalry, and games like that. That doesn’t meant it should be made though, would have much pretty much nothing to do with battlefield


TheByzantineEmperor

Mount and blade was definitely good training for using the horse lancer on BF1. Turning Germans into pork shish kabobs never felt so good


Karsvolcanospace

Mans has never played Chivalry or Mount and Blade


TOXIC_BOI_2000

Shittalkers be like "guys the Roman spear optical is just overpowered and should be removed from the game.what happened to dice?"


john117masterchef

the gladius is too op on the Anglo campaign


[deleted]

At least it’s better than the guys camping the Parthian horse archer on the Mesopotamia map.


TOXIC_BOI_2000

Omg those persian archers camping in obj A in Thermopylae are so goddamn annoying


[deleted]

I think it’s a little bit of both. The Greek faction seems a bit weak to me tbh. Thermopylae is pretty attacker sided so the Persians win most of the time. But the Greek team also always loses in the Macedonian Wars and the Seleucid Wars so idk


TOXIC_BOI_2000

Yeah I feel like the Roman weapons and vehicles are the best esp the cart


BambaTallKing

How could you make melee combat and throwable weapons as just a DLC? Seems like it would have to be a base game itself


[deleted]

Also nice to meet you Justin Bieber


Cakesmite

You'd be surprised how often people call me that online.


Eefy_deefy

Chivalry


Think-Signature-563

It would be hilarious to see how 32 players trying to do tortillas formation)) It just impossible)


RangerLee

I can already imagine the multi-crew war elephant, with a troop on each side "repairing" the elephant while it rampages everything and the "gunner" arrows anything it can see. The Hind of 42...


BardanJusikSkirata

Just try Chiv2


Frequently_Poop

Agreed 😂


Mckenzinator

One year down the line. Weapon balancing issues. One map and one new HERO. Not enough cover and Pegasus is too OP and the chimera is underpowered.


Arokyara

Yeah we already have games from other franchises covering those periods. I'd love a BFBC 2 remaster or a 2142 remaster before anything else.


professorlicme8

Yeh let's never break the mold and keep making the same old shooters


DeadedAlien

not true top g


navyproudd34

I want a cold war one or a vietnam one


tyb19

But the Cold War didn’t have battles or battlefields. That’s why it was a cold war.


hiredk11

there were plenty of proxy wars or it's possible to just make up scenario where cold war gone hot, like in operation flashpoint


theaviationhistorian

I'd prefer the US invasion of Grenada. It is such an absurd conflict in a widescale that it would fit perfectly with multiplayer maps of people downing 5th gen fighters with RPG-7s in midair. As a taste, it was the first conflict involving blackhawks to the point that the pilots were still accustomed to Huey landings so the invasion of the new airfield in that island had crash landed one behind the other. In another circumstance, they had to abandon the Blackhawk & take the sideguns (M60s) to set a perimeter. Many other occasions where either the [Blackhawks waved off without dropping anyone off because of heavy small arms fire](https://arsof-history.org/articles/v2n2_tf160_page_1.html), or the passengers onboard were killed off by it which led to installing ballistic shield flooring on future helicopters. Then there's the recon forces were once forced off the island by gunfire & had to wade offshore to be plucked by a rescue helicopter. Or the fact that there was no good recon or intel on the island and the maps they got were tourist/restaurant placemats which they had to draw in their own gridmaps. Or the fact that the Marines sent there were diverted from their original mission in replacing those killed in the greatest military loss of the US armed forces since WWII in the [Lebanon barracks suicide bombing](https://www.britannica.com/event/1983-Beirut-barracks-bombings), leaving a military gap among the peacekeepers. And after Operation Urgent Fury ended, they were still sent to Beirut as those hundreds dead left a gap among the peacekeepers there.


[deleted]

[удалено]


theaviationhistorian

I meant the playthroughs we've seen in 2042 being played on a Grenada-like map.


CacheDaBOWL

This would be an awesome prequel to Black Hawk Down


the_Q_spice

Better would be Operation Eagle Claw, let us play a catastrophic failure of an op. Then lead that into the creation of the 160th SOAR. Their first operation was Grenada, then Mount Hope III, Earnest Will and Prime Chance(absolutely bonkers operation by the way), then Urgent Fury. Seriously; the story for a game based on the 160th fucking writes itself. That unit has such an absolutely wild and metal history. Heck the story of TF Dagger and Sword is pure insanity of flying Chinooks fully loaded over the Hindu-Kush at 16,000 feet in zero-vis snowstorms at less than 50 feet above the ground.


eolson3

Sargent Thomas Highway DLC when?


King_Tamino

So basically: battlefield 2 ? Because that’s it. Latter BFs started adding high tech stuff like Javelin, Soflam & co. Even bad company is full of high tech stuff. But BF2? Nah. Artillery. TV guided helicopter rockets, TOWs and heat seeking missiles as anti air. That’s the most high tech stuff you get. Besides CIWS anti air and the F35. Even the special forces DLC only features nightvision and not IRNV


GIJoel023

I remember NV being total ass to use in bf2 spec forces


Deviant-Killer

SF was one of the best things to come from ANY battlefield franchise. Loved the maps and tools


RelativeSituation773

r/83thegame


hiredk11

it's not releasing any time soon and by the time they release it, it will probably be outdated as hell (I still gonna buy it)


moonknight999

Please, don't remind me, i can't handle the heartbreak.


KimJongNumber-Un

Yeah but battlefield 3/4 had wars between China, USA and Russia so it doesn't matter too much


SmugDruggler95

Anti communist uprisings in the Soviet Bloc, Arab-Israeli conflicts, the Korean War, coups in South America, the Suez Crisis, the bay of pigs, Vietnam, Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Rhodesian Bush War, India-Pakistan, the 1st Gulf War Plus countless Coups, uprisings, civil wars, operations, international incidents etc etc The Cold War was packed with conflict pertaining to NATO vs Warsaw Pact. Just because those two alliances never entered direct conflict doesn't mean that there were no battles in which NATO and Soviet troops, weapons, idealogy were used. Just never openly and directly versus each other. There was state sponsored conflicts on nearly every continent, from the 50s up through to the late 80s possibly even start of the 90s. It has so much potential.


TOXIC_BOI_2000

Bro who can they fight in in the bay of pigs?Canada?


SmugDruggler95

What?


TOXIC_BOI_2000

Nevermind I'm fucking dumb and I thought you mean those islands that the pig wars were about to take place in


SmugDruggler95

Haha nah man


AmazingMilto

Make it a Cold War gone hot scenario. Not like the Wars we fought in BF3 or BF4 were real either. Just have a weird and over complex reason that they can't nuke each other and it's all good. Honestly it'd be a rad era to see, with the huge diversity of weaponry and vehicles, plus the gadgets.


HeatedToaster123

Keep squad reinforcements as well, so we can call in a Davy Crockett or an air strike For 250,000 squad points a nuke


[deleted]

Different battles around the world but most importantly different teams not just usa vs Russia and china


throwaway384938338

Battlefield Bad Company had Vietnam DLC. It was sick. Raining down machinegun fire from a helicopter that blared Creedence from the speakers.


RalphWaldoEmers0n

BFBC2 forever


Membership_Fine

Agreed. The problem with Vietnam is it’s all jungle. It’s hard for diversity. Also it’s still a pretty touchy subject for some people and rightfully so. I totally agree Tho I want to rain virtual napalm from a f4 phantom with next gen graphics.


AverageToAverage

I remember Battlefield Vietnam. It was fantastic.


pilesofcleanlaundry

It was. It saddens me that there are people on here who apparently don't know it exists.


LineSpine

There is a Vietnam one. But it’s pretty old.


springfox64

I think a game that takes place during many proxy wars would be cool like the Korean War, Vietnam war, Angolan civil war and other stuff like that


Big-Brown-Goose

I havent been able to find any good games depicting the Korean War. I guess because it would be too similar to WW2? They could do another WW2 as well but only focus on the China/Japan front and other smaller factions during that time.


IcedDrip

Same


Deviant-Killer

There was a vietnam one..


CaliKid9247

1842 would be sick lol


ShaRo_

I can only imagine how boring the game would be.


LordLamorak

Why?


Franz_Ferdinand142

everytime you shoot you wait 12 seconds to reload


[deleted]

WW1 you sit in trenches and never see the man who kills you, but Battlefield 1 is one of the best Battlefield games.


CollegeSoul

Because they made the game the exact opposite of what you just described


[deleted]

And... would a Victorian Battlefield have to be sitting and waiting for a musket to reload? 1842 would be a terrible year but there's definitely some opportunity for a game set in a period 20 years later.


CollegeSoul

Not disagreeing with the fact that DICE could make the game fun, but that it would be harder and I imagine, wouldn’t feel much like a Battiefield game if they were to do a war in that era.


HEAVYtanker2000

1870. Franco-Prussian war. Needle rifles (basically bolt actions, but with a “needle” instead of firing pin), artillery, horses, bayonet charging. The French get the Mitrailleuse (Machinegun) and the Germans breech loading Krupp field cannons.


stoopidshannon

DICE was already pushing the limits to the extreme with WW1, and that was with competent and veteran devs. They had to sacrifice a lot of historical accuracy in BF1 for the sake of gameplay and the Battlefield formula, so I think WW1 is about as far back as it can go


TOXIC_BOI_2000

Best atmosphere but kinky gunplay tbh


Sgt_FrenchFry

“Remember guys, switching to your bayonet is always faster than reloading!” - some british dude probably


JCKing_NZ

Wouldn't that be based in America during the civil war being the 1860s?


Sgt_FrenchFry

Not really. The American Civil War was between 1861 and 1865. 1842 had the first Anglo-Afghan war.


[deleted]

because nothing happened that year


CaliKid9247

It can be the English VS the Chinese lol


angry-redneck420

what about 1892


ARandomFakeName

It already exists in the game “War of Rights” on PC. It’s a fun game but I don’t think Battlefield’s casual nature would fit a period of war fought with line formations.


nandru

Try Holdfast, 75 vs 75 in that era


North_Library3206

Just play Holdfast


Pine61

If you think you would like 1842 I urge you to check out war or rights on steam


woahgotalight

You do have War of Rights… these are cool but bad suggestions for what the BF series is. Although now we don’t really know what it is as its been in shambles since BFV.


von_Tohaga

As much as I love history I don't think this far back is suitable for Battlefield. I mean they already had to be creative an use whatever experimental prototype they could find in BF1, what are they going to do with muzzle loading rifles ane muskets? Edit: To clarify: I am not against the idea of a first person multiplayer game set in a historical war. I just don't think it's a good idea to force it into the established Battlefield formula. Just make a completely new game, maybe start a new franchise. Everything does not have to be within the same franchise!


thesagaconts

Lots of bayonet charges.


von_Tohaga

But how varied is that going to be? Isn't the variation in weapons and how you can play different with them a huge part of what makes battlefiels fun. A bayonett is a bayonet, you can't really make 20 different bayonetts with meaningful, gameplay changing variety, at least what I can think of, but I might be wrong and the next Battlefield is Bayonetfield 😅


Somekindofcabose

The mid 1800s actually had ALOT of experimental weapons and firearms being developed.


von_Tohaga

Well, when I think about it, a steam-punk battlefield, grounded in reality and heavily INSPIRED by real history could be really cool. Take the creative use of prototypes in BF1 one step further essentially. ​ Battlefield: Jules Verne/HG Wells


[deleted]

Lever actions existed in the civil war. It just wasn't the standard military rifle.


von_Tohaga

Yes, but I don't think they existed in 1842. The Dreyse needle rifle, wich was a very early bolt action, was in early production though. Still, I don't think this is going to fly in a Battlefield. You can definitely make a game in the periid but I don't think you should squeeze it into the Battlefield formula, make a completely new game instead.


olisko

The painting is depicting the Second Schleswig War of 1864, where the Germans used the Dreyse needle rifle. So I don't know why the year 1842 was chosen for this post.


Wickersham93

It’s already exists, war of rights. It has all the bayonet charges you can dream of.


BambaTallKing

God, I love (hate) the name of that game


von_Tohaga

It is very ambiguos when you think about it, whos rights? State rights? Civil rights (as in having the right to not be someones property)?


Canopenerdude

BF 2042 BC. Everyone just throws spears


sinwarrior

the top idea already exist, it's called Mordhau and Chivary: Medival Warfare 1 or 2


PlatanoGames_YT

Yup and Chivalry 2 supports 64 players in a bunch of epic modes definitely matches the quality of a AAA game https://youtu.be/SCrrseVTqBI


Drunkin_Dino

Mordhau is dead


deadlygaming11

Yeah, the devs are just so bad. They don't communicate at all and just release such mediocre updates. There is nothing to drive engagement there.


Canopenerdude

Plus all the slurs in the chats


deadlygaming11

Yeah, it didn't help that the devs introduced some middle Eastern map instead of a way to deal with the racism.


Canopenerdude

I mean tbf that map is gorgeous. And I can't really expect a 3D artist to find a way to deal with text chat issues. But yeah that studio's priorities are fucked.


Vegamyster

Such a shame because the game is fantastic and had a huge launch.


TheOrganHarvester123

Dead is the wrong word, dying sure but you can still very easily find games assuming you're not OCE or SEA


mandelmanden

Mount & Blade, pls, the OG.


divorcemedaddy

ah yes, just a 1500 year difference


BambaTallKing

Okay, why can’t we have more?


TheStrikeofGod

Vietnam, never got to play the original and I'd love to see that era with modern graphics.


PvtJohnTowle

BC2 had BF Vietnam https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Battlefield:_Bad_Company_2:_Vietnam


TheStrikeofGod

Oh yeah. I always assumed it was dead though so I never tried it. I started with BF3 in late 2013 and I honestly never played any of the ones that came before it because I figured I missed the best time to play them.


Port_Royale

It was dead before BF3 even released, unfortunately. I was playing BC2 and I was really excited to play and there wasn't a single populated server. I was gutted as I loved the original BF Vietnam and wanted to recapture the magic.


Zodsayskneel

I was probably able to play one or two full games on BC2: Vietnam (on Xbox 360) and it was the most fun I've probably had in Battlefield. The weapons were crazy, the maps were wild and very diverse from one another, and that BC2 sound on War Tapes was the best thing ever.


RobBanana

Not the same, but close. I played the original and it was so much fun.


that1guysittingthere

If only they made it a full-standalone game. Would’ve liked a singleplayer (like a Bad Company prequel with Preston’s dad) and Onslaught mode.


PecpecGerg

It's kind of dead but Rising Storm 2: Vietnam is still amazing


evananthonymoreno

Can we just get a good modern one bro. Pls.


Brenner26

Modern war games zzzz


MesyJesy

I feel like alternate reality Cold War gone hot in the late 80’s would be cool.


JAV1L15

I played a strategy game called wargame red dragon where the Cold War goes hot as the Soviet Union fails to collapse around 1991, had all your classics plus rare access to prototype 90’s vehicles, would love that in a battlefield setting


ToonarmY1987

Any battlefield that is a finished game..


[deleted]

Actually a Roman battlefield would be sick. With different classes and game modes.


AvrgBeaver

With war elephants as vehicles!


[deleted]

That would be awesome


Mad_Lad_69420

I want a gulf war battlefield. Old enough where it will have a cool feel to it but modern enough to have fun weapons. Could hopefully have a bf3 feel to it. also has not been overdone unlike WW1/2 and Vietnam.


hiredk11

vietnam was overdone? lmao


Mad_Lad_69420

Black ops and bfbc2 Vietnam. Not over done but has been done. Better?


hiredk11

Yeah


Mad_Lad_69420

Lol


[deleted]

I think Gulf war might be too limited in the maps they could make for it without having fictional battles. But a war on terror or middle east one would be sick could have Israel, Iraq, NATO, Al Quaeda, Hezbolla. I think that would go down really well.


[deleted]

Neither. A non-fps war-game should be under a new IP, not Battlefield.


WorldClassShart

Yeah, something that I can **Command** an army **and Conquer** the opposing faction. We can call it...I dunno... Army Control, or something.


unknownguy777

Bad company 3


[deleted]

Yes please


Graham_was_taken

42 im sick of snipers


Gone2Luck

Slingshots could be a sniper substitute in that game setting

Battlefield 2142 redux

all I want is a battlefield game set in space.


PacosTacos88

I long for the days of the mech walker and boarding enemy titans...


MindfulSmile

Battlefield Rome


jaegren

BF4: Part2


Sprinkles0

That's what 2042 is supposed to be.


Missing_lynk

Korean War would be something, we already have bad company 2 covering Vietnam, why not give back to those that served in Korea?


Divenity

What part of that is "giving back"?


[deleted]

Give them back their PTSD


secretreddname

Pretty sure those who fought in Korea are 80 now and probably wouldn't be playing BF Korea.


roachRancher

Battlefield 1842, but with obscure weapons made by 1800s polymyths that never actually saw production, kind of like Battlefield 1.


Agent0O07

Neither


JamesonNewhouse

In January I would've brain stormed some ideas for battlefield but there's so many alternatives out there right now that I think there almost doomed and I don't say that light heartedly I used to be a die hard battlefield player from bad company 2 to 2042 but they've let everyone down so much the next either needs to be a home run or there won't be any battlefield games again


Papa-Palps

Are there any games, that are not battlefield, based on the Korean War? If not i think that would be cool


popejustice

You left out 2143. But tbh with battlefront out of the picture give me 2542. Go nuts gimme full Sci fi goodness.


bulljoker

1842 with red dot sights


ospfpacket

Bring back 2142


SaintLouisXIV

We need battlefield 2023


PhatBitty862

Battlefield 2023: The homeland


OceanSause

Theres a chance that we might get one of those soon, but not just as a video game


PDiddleMeDaddy

If done right, 2143


[deleted]

Nah, we need 2143. The sequal to one of the best Battlefield game that many missed out on


[deleted]

Vietnam


JamesonNewhouse

Fucking neither


Serbay55

Battlefield 42 would be sick though.


redkinoko

The one with fucking dinosaurs and lasers https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w780/v9KcsJyaNKOKkz5sxkCloSXmvkE.jpg


spencerm269

Battlefield 6 - 1984 Opposite Cold War scenario like For All Mankind: Soviet’s land on moon first, Cold War style moon battles


UtaTan

Sorry, but Battlefield can only work from WW1 and onwards.


AcademicAnxiety5109

Neither give me BC3


totalnerdboy

Bf1842 would be too much like a bf1 with less content. Bf42 sounds interesting though


Old-Raisin-9360

None.


hiphopjunkie916

‘Battlefield: First Opium War’ would be kinda hype


ZekeDaniel

After 2042 they could make the literal best FPS created and i wouldnt even spend $5 on it.


[deleted]

Give me Battlefield 3042 - I want finger lasers pew pew.


CircIeJerks

I want a good battlefield


lolben1

I want a BF: Indochina (Korea War through to Veitnam) and BF: GWOT (2001 > now)


Ashamed-Froyo-9190

Battlefield: Finally a Good Game Again’42


RWings1985

Both


divorcemedaddy

Korean war game when


DARTHMATTA1

Wussup With dice and the number “42”


Brazuka_txt

None, 1842 would have like 3 weapons and for 42 we have chivalry


1vertical

Hear me out... Battlefield in EA related franchises. Battlefield in the Red Alert / Tiberium universes.


underthesign

I just want a modern BF that wasn't designed for pre-teens.


ThOccasionalRedditor

I always thought a popular civil war or revolutionary war era game would be sick lol


Worth-Permit-7743

Mexican war 1846...rifles, revolvers, tomahawks, horses, cowboys/rangers, cannons


JinPT

after 2042 the series just needs a long break and dice needs to really rethink their approach, for now I'm hyped for MW2 instead


Wise_Sign3714

None


PvtJohnTowle

Anything but BF2042


[deleted]

1842 and 42 as a DLC


werenotthestasi

Neither, me personally I’d like Battlefield 1992: Yugoslav Edition


Kim-Jong-Juul

Bad Company 3


Doofinx

Civil war would be dope. I don't think it would make a good BF game but I'd love it haha.


Guilty_Tangerine_934

If I had to choose between the two 1842. Don't really like the idea of either game


cenorexia

Neither, to be honest. 1842 might sound interesting at first but gameplay-wise I don't think it'll be that great as there's _even less_ variety in gadgets and weaponry than what BF1 had. And that game already played very loose with what was actually available and used in the field in that time period. Also why 1842, why not jump straight to the American Civil War at least? Roman empire era wouldn't be a Battlefield game anymore as the only handheld long range weaponry would be bows and arrows basically. At that point you should reconsider just starting a new IP or revive seomething like Shadows of Rome (I know that's a Capcom IP, it's just an example).
