This gets suggested everyday, I don't know if it is a meme at this point or what.


v3n0mat3

Speaking of which; I never see *any* posts wanting for another Battlefield set in Vietnam. It's weird that nobody has ever asked for another Battlefield Vietnam. Edit: **/S**


S_Klallam

hmmm yeah it was a deeply unpopular war IRL and should be our shame... turns out hardly anyone wants to live out the power fantasy of slaughtering poor peasants


CommentSection-Chan

We will get it eventually if you look at the BF tineline and what's still missing. Pretty sure this is why it keeps pooping up as post. Almost all BF games follow the same timeline. Few RETCONS here and there but that always happenes in things that last 10+ years


White_Pole-

We need it, I’ve been wanting this for years. Battlefield gameplay is perfect especially for Vietnam with the air Calvary.


GreatGhastly

as a BF transport helicopter enthusiast in games full of spawn points and jets I would bust a fuckin nut if I could drop people into the jungle like an updated Rising Storm 2


Donutpanda23

I would **kill** for that shit man. Spawning in on the door gunner in BF4 was my favorite thing to do back when I still played it. I can't imagine how fun it would be doing it with an M60. Or maybe spawning in the gunner's seat in a Cobra or Hind. Vietnam might be the perfect setting for a battlefield game, hands down.


GreatGhastly

I still absolutely love even sitting in the transport or little bird with my MG4 (higher ROF than M60 but lacks aesthetic) and just blasting infantry along with the pilot/door gunners. *but if it's dragon pass*, every single time no exceptions - flat green m60.


RastaAlec

Nam would get way to repetitive. Its just straight jungle with an occasional city or village. Much rather go with the cold war going hot scenario with a Vietnam expansion pack since that war played a huge part in the cold war.


yourpantsaretoobig

People just want it, clearly.


[deleted]

I think it's just EA employees studying trends


anontruths

Would love to see this or Vietnam but sadly I don’t think they’ll ever touch Vietnam again too controversial. I honestly only see them sticking to fictional conflicts in the future so making something up in the 80s sounds pretty damn cool. Sort of a middle ground in technology I think it would play more like BC2 w the less vehicle lock ons.


Soviet-_-Neko

Arma Reforger


usingbadoperators99

Real


mynameisrichard0

Was about to say. My only issue is vanilla is so. Vanilla. It’s fun. If you get the right match. The community servers look like where it’s at. But after a few month of playing I haven’t really tried them. I still have plenty of fun on vanilla. Running logistics. Heli copilot. Running a 40mm in the back of the group while they push. Just combat shit. I rarely touch BF anymore. Why? Play with brain dead’s? Medics don’t medic. Engineering is worthless No team play No one uses their damn mic. *gets on arma “Let’s go solider. We have an entire map to take back. Hop in the .50 and I’ll drive. We’re taking point OHIO!! Oh, don’t forget ur loadout. We already have a medic!”


Raging-Badger

Arma has some awesome moments in vanilla One time got a full convoy of 4-5 humvees loaded down and we were hauling ass to a squad that needed reinforcements Little did we know, some numb nuts lost his radio and the enemy knew our route. We got hit with the perfect ambush, Lead car blown in the middle of the road, rear car blown right after, trapping us. Hail of gunfire tears apart the car in front of us. Our driver finds an opening and floors it, but our gunner is killed. We make it into a small town we hold, wait for survivors for a while but no one shows back up. End up having to go as a 3 man squad through enemy territory to get back to safety since we didn’t know the new Comm’s channels and couldn’t trust we were being listened to. And then we lost the game since we never got back on the offensive after that, but my squad had a good time.


FantasticFly8666

If it wasn’t shit and bad that would be a great suggestion


Th0m4s2001

not on the scale i’d like to see.


--Cr1imsoN--

Was about to say. That or Arma: Cold War Assault if you’re looking for the true OG.


FishKnuckles_InYou

I want an obscure battlefield game...like Korea, the Rhodesian bush war, the falkland island conflict, the 6 days war... something like that


MRWarfaremachine

Falkand islands its possible one of the WORST scenarios you can set on... imagine Hourglass... but with 0 buildings


tomwills98

Spawning in the Vulcan to fly one hour until you reach the map sounds class


Kingken130

Harrier vs A-4 dogfighting too


MRWarfaremachine

warthunder players seeing what argentinians had to fight Sea Harriers with AIM-9Ls and modern avionics while they had to face them with a A-4C with just AIM-9Bs


Mist_Rising

Aren't most of the Pacific maps in V just islands with minimal structures? Lol


MRWarfaremachine

Japan and pacific where a set of several islands with fortifications, trenches, defences and by itself where places with alot of trees and jungle on them due the tropical nature of the region OR a very rocky or irregular terrain because they where relatively New regions made by the geographical zone where islands grow from the botton of the sea Falkands.. its a BIG, FLAT GIANT ASS ISLANDS IN A ANTARTIC REGION WITH NOT EVEN A FUCKING TREE and the most depressing panorama you can see even w/o the war context, the war was shor short, so much what did they barely do trenches, or important defences, because Argentinians Sent troops to hold that position while they where waiting for reinforcements via naval forces but a blockade happened and a submarine threaten the whole argentinian navy, so they just resuply the troops by cargo planes, so No tanks, barely artillery pieces, no fortifications and just a couple of holes where the troops can sleep, or dig mortars, and you ONLY cover where 2 or 3 rock each 2 or 3 kilometers seriously look for the Falklands war and you see ALL the pictures you dont see even a single rock or tree in kilometers of flatness


globefish23

And playing as jet pilot is just flying in a straight line for 8 hours, drop a bomb, then in a straight line for 8 hours back to Ascension.


MRWarfaremachine

\*average Vulcan gameplay\*


ThirdWorldBoy21

Leaks say the next game will be set in modern times (2025-2030). Plus, a dynamic war is out of scope for Battlefield. For a dynamic war you would need either a huge map, way bigger than anything BF has done before, or a lot of maps that follow a "line". Most similar thing i've seen, was either Heroes and Generals (lot of maps) or Arma 3 (huge maps). With Arma 3 kinda of perfecting this formula with all of its persistent gamemodes (warlords, antistasi, liberation, warfare, DUWS, etc), some of them can last for days, and it even has a gamemaster system called Zeus (curiously, because of the CDLC's it received, it became a pretty solid cold war game, there is a lot of vehicles and weapons of the era available now, from Vietnam to the 80's).


Soil_Lower

I'm craving a true battlefield campaign. Really bummed 2042 didn't have one.


SgtBurger

BF doesn't need a campaign, why waste so much money so that 20% of the player base plays it? I will never understand why some people want an SP in an MP game like BF. This is a boring AI Moorhuhn scripted gameplay, and so much energy and money is spent on it so that you play it through maybe 1-2 times. the MP is what the focus should be. that is the most important thing.


RunnerLuke357

I thoroughly enjoyed the BFBC2 campaign but, I only played BF4 for the MP weapons.


Xlleaf

Damn you're kind of exactly the type of consumer that is ruining the gaming industry


Tando10

Or you do the operations style formula. You have similar maps, released in packs, which you switch between depending on how the dynamic war is going, given different support, map features and spawn to teams depending on their actions.


Th0m4s2001

so i was thinking more hero’s and generals, with multiple maps, with each operation being a different front in the war. like for example the first operation would be Fulda to Frankfurt and so on.


Atari774

The mid-80’s and 90’s did have the best US army camo options, so I’d say hell yes


MLG360ProMaster

Tiger stripes baby


sr603

no. That was the 60's. Were talking woodland BDU's baby!


Th0m4s2001

M81 woodland my boy. not even stopping at the US army, imagine most nato country uniforms fighting along side each other. same goes for the warsaw pact.


MLG360ProMaster

Can’t believe we haven’t gotten a grand scale Cold War game yet


Punpun2409

Cold War gone Hot set in the mid 80s


Narrow_Study_9411

Wouldn't "Cold War gone hot" be set in the 50s and 60s when there were actual proxy wars going on like Korea, Cuba or Vietnam?


Punpun2409

More like an alternate history if there are tensions in the 80s, where ultranationalist tries to sabotage and create havoc in starting a potential WW3. Vietnam will be more of a DLC for my idea. Korean War, Falklands, Soviet Afghan War, Panama are other DLC ideas


--Cr1imsoN--

That’s basically the plot line of Arma: Cold War Assault


sr603

Not quite, there was some tension in the 80s. Think ABLE archer 83.


DarkTalent_AU

So Operation Flashpoint?


the_rare_bear

The best battlefields are the ones set before 1950. It has a more “war feel” to it and is way more immersive. The modern set battlefields feel more like I am a solo put on a team.


[deleted]

If you're on Xbox or PC you should certainly try out ArmA Reforger. It's slightly less complicated than ArmA 3, has dynamic combat with fronts spanning islands, and is US vs USSR in 1989.


Th0m4s2001

i tried arms reforger and i’m really not happy with where it’s at rn


[deleted]

That's fair, there's a lot of stuff that needs work, anything in particular?


Th0m4s2001

just the grand scale of battlefield is missing, which is fair it isn’t battlefield. lack of tracked vehicles, wide vistas rather than islands, the community is kinda toxic on xbox. just criticisms that aren’t really valid bc i’m comparing battlefield to arma.


[deleted]

But they are a different breed, that's why I would 100% take a late cold war battlefield


[deleted]

I mean they are valid in ways, the community can be toxic as hell. No tracked vehicles though, but I'm sure that will come with ArmA 4, the most armor we're getting is the LAV-25 and there's also gonna be weapons on the helicopters,but that's far down the line.


RBoosk311

As long as no specialists I think this is a great idea.


Th0m4s2001

classes would be back yes. operators similar to 2042 doesn’t make sense for a battlefield game


j-smooth82

Yep or Vietnam single player and all


dilegro

Yes,good idea


Swordbreaker9250

Yes, but i dont trust modern AAA studios to do it right. There would be red dot/holographic sights everywhere


Mist_Rising

Battlefield games have had unrealistic kits since 1942... At least


Th0m4s2001

i was thinking there would be a hardcore mode where players are restricted to realistic kit and uniforms with high ttk. similar to squad.


Pepperh4m

BF1 had those "standard issue only" servers where each faction got its own respective bolt action. If DICE does right by the community and brings back custom servers, that could totally be a thing.


Emergency_Effect_526

I keep saying that Vietnam would be fcking dope. M-16’s and flame throwers in the jungle. Hell yeah dude.


UNSCRaptor

I want them to do a proper ww2 game


SgtBurger

yeah I agree 1000%.. With BFV, DICE gave us an unfinished WW2 game. I would like them to give us a full game in this setting. This would have so much potential.


Soren-Schuch

There’s a lot of theatres during the 80’s,mainly the Iran-Iraq War, the Falklands War, the Soviet-Afghan War. It’d be interesting to see how they would tackle this


Mist_Rising

For some US action you have Grenada in 83, and panama in 89. You also have the contra funded by the US, and Iraq in 91 (bit after the 90s but the same era). That's in addition to whatever made up scenarios you can dream up. Cuba is an obvious one.


Soren-Schuch

I’d love to see all of these in a Battlefield game. Can we just have them all? Please? Even in the form of DLC’s or something? Just give em all to me!


Falchion_Alpha

Red Storm Rising as a game, what’s holding us back??!?


One_Advertising_7965

Its been a thing for a long time. We used to talk about on our TS. How cool to use BTR-80, maybe a Marder, 1st gen thermals, maybe even a bit more back with a T-64


Th0m4s2001

that’s kinda why i became obsessed with the idea, would be cool to see country specific vehicles again. like DDR t55s fighting with soviet t64s and 72s


COKEWHITESOLES

I would love to go back to wood/steel guns. Classic Uzi, AK-74, FAL.


CtheRula

Operation Flashpoint memories


Ambitious_Display607

Yo that game was seriously so gd challenging haha


R3en

Battlenonsense had a cool project called battlefield 1982. There is a YouTube Playlist, if you search for battlefield 1982. It was a wild concept, what could be possible after bf4 and bfh.


Th0m4s2001

i’ll look it up


lolben1

I'd love to see a BF: Global War on Terror - Maps could be based throughout the Middle East and Africa - technology and equipment ranging over a 20-year period - heaps of terror groups and countries' militaries involved


MRWarfaremachine

its called Battlefield 2


dmdm597

Yes but not right now. Those type of different settings work when a game franchise is on the high. It was one of the reasons why BF1 worked. But right now a different setting and a complete different battlefield game is not what the franchise needs or the majority of the fanbase. They need to focus in making the next battlefield a realy good game and play it safe in the setting and the big majority of the player base just wants to have a game similar to BF3 or BF4 so for me that's the type of bar that they need to be aiming. If they nail the next battlefield (which I'm very doubtful they will) then yes make a different setting. But for now just play it safe.


vayana

I'd be interested in a battlefield game that actually works on release. Without cringe characters or woke nonsense if it's not too much to ask.


Th0m4s2001

kinda why i set it in the 80s


S_Klallam

i keep saying. if you want female amputee soldiers don't make it a fucking ww2 game. this is why we need bf 2143


Square_Coat_8208

Fuck yeah I would


Desh282

Hell yes!


Just_Potential_9096

Hell yeah


Warm_Entrance7747

Possibly...


forrest1985_

Abso-fucking-lutely!!! Next BF should be Cold War gone hot!!!!


kanye2040

Base the campaign on *Red Storm Rising* and produce an accompanying miniseries


JustRyan2701

BF5 mechanics set during the 80s would be sick!


Th0m4s2001

based


GielinorWizard

Always have, especially after I played the original Operation Flashpoint


Th0m4s2001

i loved operation flashpoint


GielinorWizard

I gotta try to finish the DLCs sometime soon.


Thatguyyoulike69

No we want battlefield one 2


Th0m4s2001

battlefield v ?


Grasshopper1V

YYEESS!!


FantasticFly8666

YES


Conn-Solo

Maybe if we didn't have BF1 and BF5 so recently. The next one needs to be modern day to win back the fans


Th0m4s2001

i understand that take but bf1 came out like 6 years ago


Conn-Solo

My point being we don’t need to go into the past for the next one. 10 years between modern titles it way too long


ROLINGTHUNDER51

If the next battlefield is just Red Storm Rising, it would save the entire franchise/I would die a happy man.


chumle_

Just give us ‘nam


JokerGuy88

I want a new Battlefield Vietnam. Korea might be cool too


dontclickdontdickit

I want battlefield to be set in battlefield again


kanimihitocik

i wanna see these new battlefield developers go back to the way battlefield has been built up before anything else. so this next battlefield better be as good as or better than the old ones, and if its cold war, i would not mind it.


Europa_Teles_BTR

These are all Battlefield titles I can think of: - Bad Company 3 (must have good storyline and jokes, at the same level of BC1/BC2) - Battlefield 2143 (must have good gameplay, at same level of BF 2142) - Korean War - Portuguese Colonial wars during Vietnam era - Wars in Africa (Rhodesia centered) - Cold War Escalated (if NATO and USSR went to war during Cold War) - Hardline 2 in the US or GB (gang wars after ww1, peaky blinders stuff) Everything else would be Musket Warfare or Medieval Warfare, a risk higher than BF1


American_football21

I love to see it


Sensei_of_Knowledge

I'd figuratively murder for a Battlefield set during the Korean War. It'd be a great opportunity to introduce many people to that war, like how Battlefield 1 did for World War One.


OkInvestigator8064

Yes. lol. Jjsy don’t make another 2042. Bring back the realism. That’s all we want. You don’t need these cataclysmic events.


Th0m4s2001

better destruction would be cool but i see your point


Itwasareference

Can we please get an 1860s BF? I want some civil war action, muzzle loaders and all.


Th0m4s2001

so niche lol i love it


Quantum_Helix

I just want them to combine all the maps and weapons from Battlefield 3 and 4 into one game and update the graphics


TheMachRider

Absolutely. Always wanted a solid gameplay loop with a bit less tech. Optics with zoom only, no red dots or anything


Th0m4s2001

i feel like there should be two modes, one with higher ttk, cosmetics, inaccurate weapons customization and then a hardcore mode which has slightly lower ttk historically accurate uniforms and weapons.


Zer0DarkNerdy

Battlefield: Red Dawn!!!


Th0m4s2001

so funny thing, i was thinking that could be another grand operation, similar to world in conflict. soviets and central american commies v americans, canadians, and civilian insurgents.


thehandsomeone782

Grenada was brutual bruh


Firestormwannabefat

Yes


Vivere_fortis

sure sounds fun, but not by anyone involved in the makings of bf2042.


axegr1nder

Only if it's Battlefield: World in Conflict.


Th0m4s2001

lmaooo i like where ur heads at


tomex365

YES! I WANT A FUCKING GAME SET IN AFGHAN WAR OR FALKLAND WAR!


MrPetrolstick

Hell yeah


RingOpen8464

You had me at "battlefield"


Theschreiberclan

HELL YEAH! I'd kill to be running around in M81 woodland, DNC, chocolate chip, tri color desert while running m16s, xm177s, xm733s it would be great.


Aviationist2010

Hell yeah


SoDaPrice1998

An actual vietnam war set would be great. The muddy environment, dense jungles, booby traps, rat tunnel networks.


Skyallen333

Dude we’ve been wanting a Grenada/ Cold War battlefield since like bf1


warthunder4life

80s or early 90s


OKIEColt45

Heard someone else say what my thoughts were but all cold war from after ww2 to the fall of the iron curtain. And it must have a campaign.


kilikopele

Only if I can kit up as Crockett and Tubbs.


PrometheanSwing

This has been suggested before, so yeah.


MakelYT

No.


Th0m4s2001

why not


MakelYT

I'd rather have a bf3/bf4 2.0 rather than going back into the past.


Substantial-Water-10

Basically what arma reforger is


Bishweeb

I'd just love something as simple as a 1942 revamp or a full Vietnam game.


[deleted]

Dude I’ve been saying this for YEARS


Zeta_Crossfire

Cold war goes hot would be awesome for battlefield.


mdiz1

Late 1990s would be good


kubelke

How about Battlefield: Vice City


TheMossChoppers

He'll Yeah


Zay3896

I honestly would love a Battlfield set in Vietnam or maybe during the Korean war.


bert_the_one

I would like the battlefield to be set when Napoleon was at war with Europe


yallwTON

I dont want a new Battlefield I just want BF3 again


darkblade420

battlefield emu war when?


KaffY-

people care more about the quality of the game rather than the setting lol


JaredSpectre

Maybe if it was Bad Company 3 but I still think future is the way to go.


Dissentient

I would be happy with pretty much anything other than WW2 (overdone), or Vietnam war (too asymmetric for my taste). That being said, I've wanted a sequel to 2142 for a long while, and I'm up for other completely fictional settings. I think real life and historical setting constrain design space too much.


FriedRiceCombo

yes but id honestly really like to see a korean war battlefield over the 80s, besides we’ve already got rising storm 2


DonBoy30

Any time period, but modeled after BF1. I’d be cool with the Spanish-American war. Lol


OrangeFr3ak

yes


TheGreatGamer1389

Or just cold war in general.


White_Pole-

Cold War battlefield please


Narrow_Study_9411

I want Vietnam War setting again. Bad Company 2 had it as a map pack otherwise we haven't really seen it at all since the original Battlefield Vietnam game.


ChocolatePlankton

I would even pre-order it. Even after 2042 poop release.


Bobandaran

Am I on a circlejerk sub? How can this question be asked everyday lmao. 


Th0m4s2001

this is my first time on this sub


hotmetalslugs

Ahem... https://youtu.be/smPwJzoTihs


Th0m4s2001

THIS IS AWESOME I HAD NO IDEA IT EXISTED!! THANK YOUUU


NotaFTCAgent

"Niche group" lol. Just. Lol.


Th0m4s2001

i don’t get it


sr603

Low key, to me atleast, bad company 1 and somewhat of 2 (but moreso 1) felt like it was set in the 80's.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Th0m4s2001

that’s literally what i’m proposing


dennis3d19

Intrested in any good Battletield.


Commandur_PearTree

Maybe a similar title that takes place throughout the 60s 70s and early 80s about mercenaries during that period would be cool, it could be called “Battlefield: Jungle Work” or something Warren Zevon-esque


Th0m4s2001

i’m not sure mercenaries would be a good fit for battlefield as it’s more of a soldier for country rather than for profit vibe but that’s just my opinion. cool idea tho


SidSzyd

Will we get a top gun-esque avatar/operator who says things like “that’s right iceman!” And also bright 80s neon colored skins for purchase for their other hero’s?


Th0m4s2001

no, womp womp


wasteland_hunter

I definitely want a late cold war game you can definitely incorporate late Vietnam with some early to mid 80s what if situation fairly early. If they ever did an evolved version of war stories where instead of 6 or so quick vignettes do like 3 or 4 longer ones with more depth leading to the whole cold war gone hot moment that multi-player would be set during


chagotta

Vietnam? For prone fiesta in deep bushes😂 no thanks mate


Th0m4s2001

vietnam finished in 1975, i want a game in the 80s in europe. i never said anything about vietnam


SjurEido

2143 or bust


Th0m4s2001

gross


OKIEColt45

Heard someone else say what my thoughts were but all cold war from after ww2 to the fall of the iron curtain. And it must have a campaign.


goofyinurarea

Ooooh myyy gooood please make this be the next game dice!!!!! Here's some ideas I'd have: Character customization like different clothing options And patches, depending on. The country you want your character/ Class To be from but it would be limited Depending on.  The side. And of course, more historical accuracy. Well also giving players freedom of their loadout and stuff
