So 2 years ago, on exactly May 6th, I posted
this. In 2 days, on May 6th, EA DICE will be revealing Battlefield 5, and many believe it to be set in WW1 or WW2.
First off, what are the odds? Exactly 2 years this Friday I posted that and it just happens to be the EXACT DATE that they reveal BF5. Secondly, what are your guys' opinions on the rumors. Would you like to see the next Battlefield be set during WW1 or WW2?
Personally, I'd like to see it in WW2. Could you imagine:
1. Fighting in historical battles. Imagine storming Omaha beach, defending Stalingrad, taking Berlin, flying in the Royal Air Force, the Battle of Midway, or the Battle of Moscow, or even just fighting with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
2. The cool WW2 era weapons, vehicles, and setting in general. I'd love to roll up on my enemies in a WW2 style tank, or fire on passing enemies with a BAR, or just be crawling through the snow in Stalingrad. The visuals and sounds would be amazing. Battlefield is good at immersing you into the battle, and I think it'd be hard NOT to do that if this thing is set in WW2.
3. The gamemode possibilities.
4.
I would love to see WW2 again solely because graphical technology has come so far since the last major frontline WW2 game, and it'd be awesome to see in glorious 4k sepia tone.
The other rumored possibilities for BF5 are modern (again), or they could counter CoD and do a futuristic setting. I, however, see the most probable to be WW1 or WW2.
