The newest leaked promotional poster makes reference to a ‘Harlem Hellfighters Infantry Regiment’ “Pre-Order now and get the Hellfighter Pack – containing themed items by the Heroid Harlem Hellfighter Infantry Regiment” The 369th Infantry would come to be known as the Harlem Hellfighters. Their motto was "God damn, let's go."
Who Were the Harlem Hellfighters? Find out here.
EA plans to turn Battlefield into an annual series within 5–6 years, General Manager Byron Beede tells analyst Michael Pachter.
New game every year is dumb, the only one I saw reasonable improvement that did that was L4D2.. and then they gave up.
Even then with the talent Valve had they could have made it work in L4D and just update it.
The fact is they clearly wanted to have a full game made by them, not Turtle Rock.
The game just felt very different in tone aswell, I liked the dark creepy atmosphere in the first game. In the second it’s all sunny where you are biting tanks with a frying pan. Even the original survivors were better
I think what EA is aiming for is a three-team development cycle, with each team getting around three years to work on their own Battlefield title. That way, instead of a game being rushed out in a single year, they can stagger the releases. Over a 5–6 year span, the schedule would allow them to put out a new Battlefield every year, while still giving each studio enough time to develop their own entry.
Call of Duty already does this, and we’ve seen that simply giving three years doesn’t automatically guarantee quality. My question is—why can’t EA focus on supporting the current Battlefield for years to come instead of immediately chasing the next release? They’d still be able to make plenty of money without rushing a new game to market.
To be fair, EA has made a few pro-player moves lately, like launching on Steam day one, skipping the EA app requirement, and avoiding overpriced cosmetic skins. But at the end of the day, it’s still EA—and history shows they’ll always chase short-term profit, even at the cost of the game’s long-term health
Bro Dice is the only team they have going. I can imagine after they are gone it'll be over that's why they have to sell yearly before DICE dies out.
EA will make most money when the new entry drops. at $70 a pop there's lots to be made. Likely more to be made than selling skins or maps which everyone that has the game will not buy. It's all about profit. I think a release every 2 years will be better. People are getting tired of the yearly releases. We've come a long way in terms of improvements and graphics so there's not much they can add yearly to really improve a game at this point
I was almost outraged too... until I saw who was saying it. Filing it firmly under BS now.
They put the nails in the coffin with BF 2042, now they are passing the glue on it no matter the outcome of BF6. the way they have treated excelllent games of the likes of BF V is just ridiculous ....
PS5 Pro owners will be in for a treat with the new Battlefield game currently being developed by DICE based on playtester info.

While thats great... keep in mind that COD has been 120 FPS on PS5 for quite some time... and even supports 120 FPS on Series S. So it would be nice if they could push for 120 FPS on base consoles in the new Battlefield as well.
After I burnt 100 quids on the gold edition of 2042 with a blind pre-order and for as much as they are creating hype on secondary features like the 120 fps thing .... my humble suggestion is to wait for the game to actually release, have it reviewed by REAL gamers and NOT paid Youtubers and if it hits 86 or above on users' review on MetaCritics it will be a buy for me. Any lack of maps, variety, gameplay or key features that they have implemented in other BF game will be a NO GO on my end. More so as this is EA a company I loved in the early era of video gaming but that now has become the king of microtransactions and deceptive marketing.
DICE is changing the gun customization in the new Battlefield game, and it's one that emphasizes balance and personalization.
I'm sorry but I just have to laugh reading this and looking at the poster. Thank you for making me laugh DICE.
Sounds like some serious badassery.
My theory is their starting back in time and their gonna work their way back to the future. Maybe they want to bring destruction back to it's glory days of bad company 2 so they felt the needed to get away from the denseness of the cities in battlefield 3 and four.
FIGHTINHG WW1 ALL THE WAY FROM 110TH ST., SUCKA!!! *grabs coat*
