CVG join senior producer Marcus Nilsson for an insight into the future of Battlefield warfare! D.I.C.E.'s Battlefield series is rightly acclaimed as one of the most detailed and authentic MMO FPS ever conceived and if you're a Battlefield fan, it can't have escaped your notice that a brand new version of the fearsome franchise is heading your way this autumn after making a big splash at this year's E3. Eschewing the historical conflicts of the past, the new Battlefield 2142 catapults you into the near-ish future, where a new ice age grips the planet and EU and Pan Asian Coalition forces clash over control of ever-diminishing natural resources. It's quite a departure for the series, so CVG has tracked down senior producer Marcus Nilsson who's heading up the game and subject him to a gentle but thorough CVG probing.
Sorting the good from the bad (company), these are our picks for the best Battlefield games of all time
For me Battlefield 1942 is my fav, and best overall. Would be nice if DICE remastered this in the new engine and expansions that came with it. I know it would sell a ton.
I don't think it would. As much as I agree with you on it being great (it's one of my all time favorite multiplayer games), I don't know that its systems would work in today's market. For instance, the class system is totally static; there are no guns artificially locked away that you have to "earn." I prefer this, but I feel like modern players who have no frame of reference for the pre-COD4 era of FPS games would think a lack of a progression system is boring.
Possibly you meant that something like this would be added, but by remaster I took you to mean changes in the graphics/physics/engine etc. rather than game systems.
Plus I'd be wary of them touching 1942 again after the disappointing 1943.
I’ve never liked he concept of every army using every gun available. I find it ridiculous. Seems only “hardcore” games use proper equipment per team these days.
Well, yes, graphics/physics/engine etc. They can also bring it up to modern standards, like how BF4, and now V will be like, with unlocks, progression system etc.
Battlefield 2 for me it was first large scale mp battles
when i first fired it up and my pc could run it I went and spent over £100 on keyboard just to play the game
Flying a troop carrier to the mainland with 6 pals in the back and one in a cobra alongside I got goose bumps.... happy days
They got it right, Nothing was better then Bad Company 2 and sadly since DICE doesn't know why it was so good we will never get a Battlefield like that game ever again.... For the first time ever I don't even think I will buy this one, Battlefield V just looks like a Battlefield 1 reboot...So I guess I'm done, it was nice while it lasted...

Thankfully, a team of modders has figured out another way in order to restore multiplayer in Battlefield 2142."
love that version!! I even pre-ordered this from best buy back in the day to get that exclusive gun.. Titan defense was the shit!
Revive Network kept fans happy with a few long dead Battlefield titles, but today that all stops.
I was majorly disappointed.
I never cared for single player mode in battlefield games. What's the online mode going to be like? Is it going to be just futuristic looking weapons with the same functions as their current counterparts and the same classes of soldiers? Please give us some cool new weapons and more than a couple classes of soldiers.
