Giant 128 player maps sounds awesome and a welcome change from the status quo of 64 player servers.

I think the thing that Battlefield has struggled with is trying to figure out what it should play like. Call of Duty overall always plays like a CoD game. Battlefield, though, feels very different from game to game... sometimes better, and sometimes worse. I still think that the shooting and gameplay has not yet matched up to Bad Company 2, even though it was a dumbed-down Battlefield game mostly. I think I enjoyed BF3, didn't buy BF4, BF1 was great but BF5 didn't play as well as I had hoped.

But I'm hopeful they can do something great, so I'm not counting them out yet.

They really struggled to nail it down. BF:BC2 was cool, loved the rush mode and the maps. But it just struggled after that and felt kinda weird. BF3 & BF4 are a complete blur as to what was different when I try and think back on them. BF:1 and BF:V(5) where both kinda fun? But they also feel kinda weird every-time I try and go back to them.

I agree 2,3 and 4 felt like battlefield games. every game after that has felt like they changed something in the core formula or at least in the gun play. I think at the point they started to go more dramatic and realistic feel is when they started to go south on the gameplay.

Yep. I think you nailed it. BC2 was the only one where rush mode was fun but maps were too small for conquest. I think BF3 was okay and I played a lot of it and agree that the two recent ones just felt weird.

DICE is great at making pretty games but they just can't nail down the fun action.

I’m sure I have the 2142 somewhere, not played in a while, worth reinstalling for nostalgia?

Not sure it is, servers were down and cannot log in. Unofficial support was sent a cease and desist letter from EA and so it died again.

Have not checked recently.
 
I hope it will be good, I need a casual shooter.

But it is a bit worrisome that literally all the people that BF good in the first place are gone, and the people responsible for all the bad decisions made with BF V are still there.
 
I do not know how you can call BFV bad by any stretch of imagination. The game was great even with its quirks. And if anything they continued improving it quite a lot as time progressed. I spent about 200 hrs on computer and another 100 on PS4 on this game. That is more than any other version of BF.

Only reason I don’t play anymore is because it made me completely stop playing SP games which I still enjoy more than MP. That and most of my work friends stopped playing. Plus Evileh is gay.
 
BFV wasn't terrible, but it was just another lazy no-effort release by DICE. They haven't come up with anything new or interesting to add to the series since BF2, and that was forever ago. The balance in BFV was completely out of whack and that's ultimately what made me stop playing.

I don't regret it though. I ended up buying Hell Let Loose on a whim and it's now one of my favorite games ever, and the development team is extremely engaged, releasing huge patches and adding tons of new features. I love it. I strongly suggest if you're looking for a BF mix with Red Orchestra, to check it out. It's by far the best MP shooter on the market imo, and the developers deserve every penny. They've labored on this game for over two years now, and it's grown immensely.

I love the idea of games like Hell Let Loose, but worry about their ability to maintain players. When a multiplayer game becomes too niche, only the most devoted stay, making it a terrible experience for newcomers. Does it actually get 100 players in those giant battles?
