Rumor: Battlefield V to Return to WW2 [Mar 01, 2018, 9:31 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
VentureBeat has a screenshot of a title screen for Battlefield V,
saying this will be the next installment in Electronic Arts' military shooter
series, which will return to the World War II setting. Word is this will be
released this year, so we should expect an official announcement before too
long. But this is unconfirmed at this point as EA has not yet responded to
requests for comment to this news, which is attributed to "sources familiar with
EA's plans" who wish to remain anonymous. They say this is an all-new game,
rather than a Battlefield 2 remake, and outline the thinking behind the move:
EA and Battlefield developer DICE decided on this strategy several years ago. They knew they wanted to get away from the modern and near-future settings for a while, but it also didn’t want to burn the WWII setting right away. This led the studio to start with WWI knowing that it could always still go to WWII with the next game if Battlefield 1 didn’t work out. Of course, that wasn’t the case — Battlefield I finished 2016 as the No. 2 best-selling game in the United States, according to the industry-tracking firm The NPD Group.Update: The headline here originally misidentified the franchise in question as Call of Duty. Apologies for the error.

How about instead of running back to that tired old well, they try a different era? Say Vietnam or Korea.
Or are there too many Boomers around that would get their jimmies rustled?
It's just that WW2 was the last one that was objectively an honorable war or whatever term you want to use. If something like Vietnam is going to be used it's gonna be in a more abstract fashion, like Black Ops did. That's the last CoD game I played, so maybe they did something else in the sequels.

BF2 was modern warfare. 1942 was WW2 (the first BF)

Headline says COD, which is fine. Give me Brecourt Manor.
Body says Battefield, which is fine. Give me Gazala and El Alamein
I dunno, I'd love to play an Omaha beach landing during Operation Overlord. We haven't seen one of those yet.
How about Juno beach? Canucks reprazent!~

RIP RedEye9. We miss you.
Call of Duty might as well return to WWII, pretty sure they made bank on their latest one.
