Battlefield is cooked this is guaranteed going to be the last we'll see of the series.

The highest selling battlefield game was 15 million copies there's no way they'll reach 100 mill and promising a f2p battle royale like that trend died ages ago and we've already been and gone with extraction shitters.

After the shutdown of codemasters almost immediately after buying them and defacto killing

  • dirt rally
  • project cars
  • grid

Dice is next on the chopping block and bioware will absolutely follow shortly after leaving only mainstream sports games left

Even at the peak of the series' powers with Battlefield 1, as the employee notes, it achieved "maybe 30 million plus."

yeah imma go ahead and say this thing won't be three times more popular as battlefield 1. and with the price of games now breaking the 80 dollar barrier (and the almost certain 100~200 GB hard drive size + 60 GB day one patch if it's not just online download only) you're almost guaranteed to lose most sales outside north america, europe and japan. even if you went f2p im sure the majority of the audience for an FPS like this is already taken by CoD. this is just a tactic by EA suits to cut off dice.
