Remember, no matter what the trailer looks like, don't pre-order!!

This game launched without a scoreboard. A frickin' scoreboard. In a multiplayer FPS.

BF3: This is great BF4: What a mess but you turned it to something great in the end BF1: Oh I wasn't expecting this but it's actually pretty good! BF5: Sorry I'm too stupid to buy your game? Well I won't buy it then. BF2024: What is this CoD inspired mess? Everybody: We did want a remake of BF3/4 but now we don't trust you any more. Bye. Phillip.

i miss bf4…even after the game was completed they were still adding maps (night operations, dragons pass, the jungle community operation map) they were even doing a night siege of shanghai

The next Battlefield is gonna save the franchise or permanently ruin it. Edit: 5k likes, WAH!

Jack one month later: Battlefield 2042 was a hidden gem

Hearing Jack talk about all those legendary features from the previous games, made me realize how much I missed what made battlefield, battlefield. Heres to hoping they deliver on this vision and don't kill the series for good. 🙏

Squad call ins were sooooo much fun to call in. They were almost necessary at times to try to make a successful push. Calling in smoke or an artillery barrage, and then just rushing in on the flag, finishing off anyone still there and capping it was such a great feeling, and so immersive.

Jack this franchise does NOT need a battle Royale mode, the current developers need to show they can recreate the core experience (conquest) correctly first.

Just give me battlefield 4 with the movement of battlefield 5. Tons of guns, gadgets and maps, you'll win

Higher than 64 player counts are fine. It's the map size and gameplay design that needs to change to accommodate more players. 10 second squad respawns are not compatible with larger player counts in Battlefield.

is it that hard to make a battlefiled with the gameplay of bf4/bf3 with the mechanics of bf1/bfV with better destruction of the map?

Bring back operations from BF1, made every battle feel bigger than just a simple videogame match. Very immersive and I actually didn't mind the story tidbits in the intro cinematics.

These people are getting million dollar bonuses and golden parachutes for KILLING the franchises they are in charge of, LET THAT SINK IN!

Nothing extends the life of a game more than being able to MOD it, you touched on this but i remember BF 1942 and the fun i had loading all the different mods, i believe this is where DICE came from in the first place, don't just keep it in the modern era, allow modding to include any era, any genre. That was the most fun i had in any game, playing the Mods.

Keep in mind, the more devs on a project DOES NOT mean better quality. In fact, usually the opposite. It can slow process, t hings can be confusing or lost in translation. Don't get excited until DICE can prove they know how to release a good BF game again.

They don’t have a clue what to do with this franchise, they were originally going to make 2042 a hero shooter!? I have no faith for the next title

I was sad when BF5's support was cut, but now I am relieved that 2042's support is getting cut

Your description for what the next BF game should be....was PERFECT! I hope they take into consideration this feedback. I would love a good BF again.

The season used to be 4 maps.. Now they count 1 as a season 😢

Battlefield 3 was an epic game changer, Battlefield 4 was an outstanding double down with improvements, Battlefield 1 was a new level of quality gameplay, Battlefield 5 was a step back but still Battlefield, Battlefield 2042 was the biggest departure from Battlefield form and took away everything I loved about Battlefield. WE NEED A RETURN TO FORM FOR BATTLEFIELD. Bring back completely destructive maps, bring back the push for realism, give us Battlefield like we knew and loved.

"From the present, to the future." Oh man, how many times have we heard that.

Really you just explained everything we loved in previous generations of Battlefield but fused into one. We lost so many small features that made a big deal. We even used to be able to make our own emblems as well. And what about Battle Commander, it would be fun to have that again.

@jackfrags You spelled it out perfectly. I would like to see this vision and I believe they would truly do extremely well. 💯💯💯👍

Never preordering a BF title again. Its so sad to see, that all big studios are releasing a unfinished product because of some investors. Im still praying to get a game compared to BF3/4 Great video Jack 🫡

Just remember that this isn’t the same developers who made BF1 or BF4.

How about we don’t worry about a battle Royale at all? Focus on conquest, the game mode that battlefield is all about!

A video i think you should do, is login into a game and getting to play a game from bf3 to bf2042 and ask people which they would rather have

BF3, BF4 - Follow that basic setup. Don't overcomplicate the next BF. There is a reason people still play BF4 some 11years later!

I would prefer if they added a PS5 update for Battlefield 1, because that game still has life in it

Great video Jack, too bad was hoping they'd take us beyond season 7, but considering how things were at launch it ended in much better shape. If I was in charge I think I'd make you the lead development planning consultant - so these excellent points of yours actually get addressed. At this point (assuming a 2025 release) they're running out of time for big changes to their project.

Imagine your a motorbike company and you are profitable because you sell good motorbikes. But you notice cars are far more popular than motorbikes, so you think to make a hybrid between cars and bikes and make a Quad Bike. Pleasing neither crowd, because the people who like bikes aren't interested because they wanted a bike, and the car guys aren't interested because they already have better options. Battlefield doesn't need to follow trends, anyone with a brain stem can look at BF 2042 and see the bones of what was obviously going to be a BR that was changed last minute. Nothing about this games feels like Battlefield, in fact the best Battlefield game out right now is battlebit. it feels way more faithful to the gameplay than 2042 ever did.

Please Jack, be 100% truthful with us about the state of the next game when you inevitably get to do pre-release testing. I remember when 2042 came out, it felt like we had been duped thanks to pre-release creators not telling the full truth about 2042's condition.

I'm a huge BF fan but I'm not optimistic because this stuff about building something special and focusing on the next experience was the same dosh they gave us when they said they would stop developing content for BF5...

I agree with most of your boss ideas for the next game aside from the class visual customization in that for me to be happy it needs to be VERY robust with way more options than in previous games if they just go back to basic classes. I need to be able to look completely unique from the medic beside me if that is my choice (obviously there are limits), player choice is so important now, especially with how good a lot of the specialists look. Icons above enemy heads when spotted are good enough for understanding who is playing what class.

I think what you said in the last half of the video pretty much sums it all up very nicely. If they release the next game, like you said, it will be awesome. Though, i hope it has a campaign mode of some kind, as i am interested to see what kind of story mode they could come up with, with all the mechanics and input you said in this video.

Damn jack. You totally nailed the “if I was the director”-bit. Right there with you.

I think every person watching this video wanted you to continue with your suggestions. I think you were accurate and precise in everything you stated and no one was bored...at least I wasn't

BF4 and BF1 dlc was always fun to look forward to! Each on having about 5 maps, lots of weapons, a new mode or 2, and a handful of new gatchets and vehicles!

Jack, i hope you will be an active advisor for the next devs on bf new game. ❤

Grand operations was actually an interesting concept, multiple maps linking together to form a narrative, and depending on how well uou did you got extra rewards the next round, it was just underbaked

They cancelled support for Battlefield V AND Battlefront 2 for this. Two games that were just starting to take off. The BF2 team even admitted they had content planned for another year or two.

Don’t forget about the Phantom Program with special weapons and cosmetics.

Thought we'd get an map in the US, we did for the BF2 DLC, the highway map, I LOOOOOVED That one with A-10's!

Who tfq wants a battle royale

why do i feel a sense of deja vu ? wonder why? (looks at BF5 and Battlefront 2)

@jackfrags so what you are saying is we should have bad company 3?

Hi Jack, where can i buy this game you described?!? :D

Don't be sad, this is just how it works out sometimes

The biggest tragedy of this game is they pulled the team off of Battlefront 2 to develop this. Right when Star Wars was popping off on Disney+

I really enjoyed your thoughts on what the next Battlefield should bring and i couldn't agree more. in summary just take every good thing from all the previous battlefield and make a new immersive game. They should take their time with this next one from start to finish.

"We took the opportunity to evolve the game to make it better for you and continue to learn" Well thank you for doing you job.

Maybe we should start asking for a scoreboard now? With only 18 more months of 2042, could be cutting it close to get that feature implemented and added...

A sad but inevitable news: Battlefield 2042 was a failure and was no longer profitable for EA. It's surprising it even made it to season 7 lol. Once again, EA is killing a game claiming to focus on the next title in the franchise. They said the same thing with BFV, and look what happened 💀. Just one thing: stay vigilant and don't fall for EA/DICE's promises in the future. Remember their "love letter" to fans. And one more thing: don't preorder the new BF under any circumstances. Wait for the game to launch and see if it's worth your investment. We had good and bad moments in 2042 (mostly bad), but that's it. Containerfield 2042 has come to an end. "don't be sad this is how it works out sometimes"

Honest what i would like to see is a far fetched Battlefield 2200+ Why because it simply gives you more creative freedom. And technically a gritty sci-fi battlefield. One map could be Interplanetary ships engaging one another in space and troops trying to board each other going through a debris field trying to reach the other ship. A modern setting will be a good sale in the western hemisphere but seriously could hamper the sale of the game in eastern europe, keep that in mind. So other then a Sci fi setting as to a modern day one i agree with Jacks suggestions

@jackfrags with your breakdown at the end of how they should build the next game, they might as well make you their director lol everything you described is what I want.

The craziest thing to me till this day is. They could have just remastered or overhauled BF4 to modern graphics. Kept all the same weapons,attachments, and maps. Maybe made like one or two new game modes. Released that and had a massive player base.

All of the things Jack listed as wanting to see in the next are on point and completely reasonable. There is no reason a big AAA game studio couldn't deliver on them. They should know what the fans want by now. If not, they should be hiring fans to help during the development process.

They also need to have the same gun sound as in BF3. For me there was nothing better being in Metro and rocking the AEK. It just sounded so good !!

Hot take: I liked the attrition system in BF5 before it was softened. It actually encouraged you to stick with your teammates so that you could get ammo and equipment, as well as healing. It reinforced class uniqueness. It was a cool and effective idea that was ruined because people hate change.

The number 1 thing for me, is atmosphere. BF 3,4,5 all had moments where you were fully immersed and felt the pressure of a firefight situation. 2024 had none, not once did I feel I inserted into the warzone and in the shoes of a soldier.

I hope they bring back the movement system from BFV, imo the best movement system of all the battefield games.

We need something along the lines of BC2, BF3, BF4. Proper finished product before release. A proper free beta to get the remaining bugs worked out.

I'll have to agree with everything you said about the next game and what it should be. great video Jack.

Basically just recreate bf3 with morden equipment vehicle and weapons

“Oh no.. Anyways”

The prefect next BF for me would be : the atmosphere and fun from BF 1, gunplay, movements and tactical aspect from BF V, the bloated content from BF 3/BF 4, and a setting in the 70' or the 80'

So what's happening with 2042 is exactly what used to happen to a multiplayer game the day after it launched? You can still play the game online as you always have done but there won't be new stuff being added to it? There have been lots of multiplayer games in the past that have had 1 or 2 DLCs in the 4-5 years of it's lifespan (servers being online) but no constant season challenges or weekly special game modes and these games are remembered fondly, why is there such a focus on every day you log into a game there has to be something new, why can't the core experience of a multiplayer game just be well made and enjoyable. I'm not a CSGO player but that game doesn't seem to have many fundimental changes on a regular basis, the core experience probably remains the same each time you go to play it, but it's consistently the most played game on steam (daily)

Everything you said was solid. BF5 and 2042 broke me as a fan. I was in the infantry for 6 years with a combat deployment. I grew up on all the Bad Companies, BF3 and BF4.

Just a friendly reminder that they canceled development on battlefront and battlefield 5 for this masterpiece, this game was supposed to revive the battlefield community and was a “love letter to the fans”… they officially lost a loyal fan that’s been playing since battlefield 1942

Commander mode! I hope the new BF brings that back. Yes, its incredibly niche but if its implemented and balanced in such a way that a team doesnt a Commander but has distinct advantages when it does, that would be so awesome. No other game has a feature like this and there has been several RTSFPS games that try but don't quite hit the mark. Having a Commander that can enhance the destruction with larger munitions and even deployable buildings would be amazing.

EA\Dice needs to hire Jackfrags as the BF project coordinator!! Everything explained how to make the game better is spot on!

Jack really said “make battlefield 4 but again”

BFV had my favorite mechanic in it: Squad Calling and Fortification. I really hope they made it in the next game, because thoses mechanics could drastically change the outcome of a fight.

Bf1 atmosphere, bf v squadcalling and battlefield 4 gunplay all together would be godlike

I just want a complete, good, and realistic game at launch. No breaking bugs and no strange "visions" of events or technology that doesn´t exist in the real world or in the history. I don´t need any seasons. Like the way it was when BF 1942, 1943, 2, 3 and 4 was launched. I don´t need to customize any weapons. I need to be able to choose a class at each spawn. I need a ranking system so I can battle other players in multiplayer that are at my present skill level (extremely beginner-skill).

what WE need, is a game that is fully finished, playable and ready for a DLC cycle 2 - 3 years dribbling DLC into a broken game, just to fix it and drop it, simply not good enough any more and the players need to preach this with their wallets. no more pre-order, zero cash until you show us a FINISHED , WORKING game thanks Jack, great video as always

It's quite sad that this game will probably not be remembered fondly. For BF 5, even though it had a rough launch, it was saved by the pacific update before they dropped support. For 2042, I don't think the community will ever miss it. The hype for this game before release was extraordinary though.

I feel you hit those next game features right on the head. I could not find one I didn't agree with.

Honestly, the bar is so low with EA that at this point I would just take a working BF game at launch. Not buy the game at launch and wait a whole year for it to become playable.

Dice must go back to Battlefield 3/4 gameplay model for the next Battlefield.

BREAKING NEWS Jackfrags announced as a lead director of the next battlefield game

Launched with no scoreboard, no server browser, no classes, no squads, few guns, no logical progress, etc, etc... I mean, never would have thought it could be this bad and I've been playing BF since 2142 (not playing anymore). Simply everything why we played Battlefield series was removed and everything we hated in other games was implemented as a feature. I would really like to hear the discussion of the devs who decided on this and said "yes, this will be it". Good job guys. :D

They should make a BF that has a sliding door timeline. WW1 - Modern day and everything in-between. Because if they want to be "live service" make it interesting. Or, they could have us all contribute to a war effort on sides that we choose. Kinda like For honor.

also bring the sound and visual design of battlefield 1 back! it still feels the most authentic and immersive experience I've ever had, and I keep coming back to it.

Hey Jack, you forgot to ask about bringing back the Easter eggs. I had so much fun with my mates in BF4 loading an empty server and going on a hunt for a rare gun or the best of the best, the invisibility cloak skin to keep the IR scope guys at bay!

People talk about BF4 a lot here being good, and its ok (in my opinion) but honestly we all have to admit BF3 was the best, along with BC2.

I just hope they continue to work on the netcode. It's frustrating to run behind cover and be downed by another player who couldn't possibly have hit you from that angle.

Best BF vid you've produced in a while, Jack. I agree with your thoughts but I would also included being able to build stuff like in BFV and needing to resupply tanks/planes etc. I would also like the ability to land planes as well.

The closing statements regarding things you want are what we all want. We want stable 60hz servers. We want squad scorestreaks/callins (like bf5). We want a server browser and community servers. In reality, all we really want is a classic but optimised battlefield experience, with a good launch and most importantly, A FINISHED PRODUCT.

Those last battlefields is insane how you pay 60$ for an unfinished game, and they just drop it and go to the next, they took months or even years to put what should be BASE game, like class systems, and called it content.

Yeah mate exactly what you said. Current ERA. Plenty of testing content and weapon and player customisation catering to a class based system.

Hope DICE are takeing notes from 6:03 to 10:35 this is some free great knowlege for this new developers that seems to me never played a Battlefied game.

Man the wave of nostalgia that just hit me when you brought up jumping off the Helipad on Damavand Peak😭😭 that was such an amazing chain of events on rush getting pushed back to the pad and trying to hold there, eventually getting pushed back to the point of we have to jump. Seeing the blueberries holding out above us to let us escape and prepare for the next site at the foot of the mountain. And none of it was scripted or anything that was peak Battlefield

I agree with how jack would make the new game, i hope they are gonna do this. The modern time (bf3/4) with the good movements, destruction and up to date graphics. Would be amazing😭

What is the rifle you are using

Definitely a 100% with you on your "improvements" part in this video. Let's hope some dev, or higher-up, or anything along those lines, will stumble across this video and take notes. 🙏 It pains me (and I'm sure alot of other fans), to see what Battlefield has grown, or rahter shrunk, into...

You nailed and I have BS in Game Design. As a player though, and a BF player who starter playing 1942 at 11 years old, the most important element the game lost was dedicated servers, operated by fans of the game so much they would subscribe to a really good game as a clan of dedicated players. (This also helped in the fight against hackers.)

Bottom line I reckon is, if they botch the next one, they might as well hang up the gloves and close the doors.

They literally just need to give us a Battlefield Entry. Not a battle royale, not over ambition, if they want to get experimental, then get experimental in the DLC's, but just give us a Battlefield with nicer graphics, a roster of guns, and a progression system that doesn't try too hard.
