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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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

I love your list my man! Id summarize my hopes to modern setting with BFV gunplay and overall gameplay loop. BFV is always so mutch fun and i still play that and its has become the Battlefield game ive spent the most time in now and i played alot of BC2, BF3 and BF4. So for me i want a mix of BF4 and BFV to be honest. I will give the next game a try. Hopefully a beta to know. But i wont buy the mega edition like i did for 2042.. i did that because ive played all BF games and always had some fun in them.. 2042 i played for 4 hours and quit and havent touched it since release.. so next game i will just buy the base game if i buy it at all after the beta..

they are soo good in writing stuff in a way, that leaves so much space for diffrent interpretations. class based doesnt mean they wont f..k it up. team tactics and explosive gameplay can mean anything and nothing

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

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

BF2 with all expansion maps (special forces etc), fully remastered with todays new features/movement and own our own servers with admin support to ban hackers with a map rotation, that would be amazing, BF2, the best battlefield imo. the maps, the armies, the music, the voiceover guy awarding u a new rank/medal/ribbon it felt good to earn stuff back then, everyone that played bf2, remembers the karkand map loading music and the random guy on ur team spotting enemy boats in the middle of the desert for no reason, great times

No matter how good the next Battlefield will be, i will not buy it. BF2042 turned me into a CoD player

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

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 🫡

Jack I think they should hire you. You want what’s best for the games. They can use you as a consultant and get you to helps design maps and play them before they come out. I think this should happen more in game development.

Orchestra music instead of the horrible electronic music from Battlefield 2042 at launch, cross platform across all platforms (like COD) and a free to play Firestorm equivalent so I can convince my Warzone buddies and introduce them to BF.

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.

i was too young to enjoy BC2.I would like a BC3 for next game,too feel that vibe.

The cyan UI was neat for the first few hours but at this point it's tired and played out, at least it can be fixed with reshade a little bit.

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

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.

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.

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

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...

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.

A bf1 remaster would go crazy

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

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

Calling it now, they want to take a crack at ruining the legacy of 2142 with a modern pile of BS that will be 2143. Cant wait for them locking Titan mode behind DLC.

No gravity defying grappling or wingsuit. These with Bolt ruined the defence/attack balance. All your suggestions are bang on!

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...

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.

I'm gonna miss the TOR, and the Super 500... and not much else. One of the things i'd love to see in the next one is more and better Character Creator options. Why not give us more freedom in how our Characters look in appearance, better than we could in Battlefield 5? Could do one for each Class for four Created Characters total... 5 if the next Battlefield handles Vehicles in a Battlefield 5-like way... (I always thought it was a shame that we couldn't Character Create the Character that we'd play as Spawning straight into a Tank or Plane...) Also, some of us can't marry the game we play and are on Casual Player Time. Is it really so much to ask to NOT be punished for this...? :( Edit: Oh, and almost forgot... if ya are REALLY sorry about how ya treated us Players on 2042, ya could try acknowledging this by NOT ever asking us to Pre-Order and give us Pre-Order-like goodies to EVERYONE no matter when they buy the game.

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 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!

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

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

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. 🙏

@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.

BATTLEFIELD DOES NOT NEED A BATTLE ROYALE MODE. Battlefield is something diffrent!

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.

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

Jacks ideal next battlefield game sounds like the best version of a battlefield game I’ve heard of in years. I hope we get something like that in the next installment, because the previous releases have been soul-crushing to say the least

No more specialists, more destructible environment, dedicated servers, ability to type to the other team again (no more safe space, make the game feel more social and competitive again), balance of small and large maps, 5 man squads, spawn on squad leader only, could bring back the commander.

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+

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.

BF1 is the best. It's so unique and immersive I can't believe it released 8 years ago. BF1 is so much better than the current state of BF2042.

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)

Who tfq wants a battle royale

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.

When you were describing your idea of a new BF you stole the words right out of my mouth

They should revisit an older war setting like they did with BF1 (which has obviously stood the test of time ) - BF Korea would be the perfect setting for large scale map, multiple vehicle classes, and large teams. The futuristic combat scenarios simply dont work.

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

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

We need more players on bf1 guys letsss goooo!

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"

Basically just recreate bf3 with morden equipment vehicle and weapons

MORE STATS. I want all my gameplay stats available so I can see what is working and what isn't. All the stats for the guns and the vehicles so I can see what may suit my playstyle better and how attachements are impacting the weapon. Also, team-specific weapons like in BF3. That was super immersive.

I love you mentioned how they should delay the game for an extended period of time if it isn’t ready. I am all for waiting an extra 6 months to a year if it means getting a well thought out, polished experience. This is something that just about every battlefield has lacked in the last 10 years.

Jack really said “make battlefield 4 but again”

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

I didn’t play BFV during its life cycle but it was my first BF and honestly out of the 3 that I’ve played it’s my favorite. If they make it similar or almost exactly the same I would be happy

Love the video, your expecting too much, DICE is no longer the same studio. I wish them luck though.

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.

“Oh no.. Anyways”

Jack just worded that perfectly

Agreed with every statement made by you in this vid. I'm an old school battlefield fan but the last 2 iterations have hurt to watch and play at launch , although have become reasonable with alot of effort from the Devs.

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.

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.

Jack as someone who has been with you since bf3 i have to say you nailed what the new game needs to be. I really hope they listen

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

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.

Oh no! Anyway. Maybe we'll finally have a Battlefield game after Battlefield 5. It's been so oddly long without a release. I wonder what DICE is doing, not releasing a game for so long.

you nailed it my guy. I agreed with all your points on what they need in the next game.... ESPECIALLY MODERN DAY SETTING

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

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.

Happy to hear we're getting new BF but I feel they could have also just added more stuff to 2042 and we'd all be happy for a while as well.

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).

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

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!

I'm at the point. It's either Battlefield 2142, or BF3, BF4 feel, or I'm skipping the next BF game since those had so much awesome ideas and gameplay and classes. I miss those games.

I won’t even consider buying the next BF game if it still has specialists. All of Jack’s recommendations are spot on.

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.

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?

Bringing back 2142 with the gameplay of BF4 would be *chef's kiss.*

Just my 2 cents but 1-Dead Space 2 Remake should be in the works w/ that team 2-Battlefield 2042 should receive a few more updates 3-They should get Vince Zampella on Titanfall 3 4-Frostbite engine … sucks … 😓

Brilliant Dev insights @jackfrags would make a great project manager for the next Battlefield and i would propose having legacy maps added in like Firestorm , Karg Island , Metro etc, Water Maps etal identical in map design but inside a new engine maybe Unreal ? Or Frostbite Unreal hybrid engine API. New weapons & kinetic biomechanics as mentioned would strike up compelling gameplay for new & old players like myself. I started FPS always PC with Doom Quake 1 Unreal Tournament and every flight simulator known and input from veteran players at a Dev level would produce proven gameplay & features that potentially would centralize players from every genre and or game community which IMO would become a Battlefield Hive with more than a billion players consolidated from all current and future platforms & genres. Cheers !!!!

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.
