And 64 players is not exactly a new prospect for the Battlefield series, which has been doing the big team thing for a while now. But the mode is limited to 64 players when Blackout has now been pushed to 88 and Fortnite is always at 100.

The mode has squads of four trying to hunt down each other and complete objectives to be the last standing on a map shrinking as it’s consumed by a ring of fire (not going to ask what Nazi superweapon has supposedly created that). Polygon called its frenetic shooter segments in the midst of somber storylines a “piñata at a funeral.” Battlefield doing a WWII game now may feel like the natural follow-up to Battlefield 1, but since Call of Duty did it last year and they effectively were doing historical combat two years ago, it doesn’t really feel as fresh as it once did, and even trying to echo the vignette campaign structure of BF1 has produced apparently mixed results, judging by some of the early previews where outlets got their hands on the game. Two years ago, it was Call of Duty that seemed like it had made the misstep, continuing to plug away at the “future war”concept while Battlefield 1 felt like a fresh return to a bygone era, and doing so in WWI instead of the more common choice, WWII.īut then Call of Duty followed up with COD: WWII the following year, before moving back to the future with Black Ops 4 this year. The first issue is the setting, which weirdly feels a bit dated because of a trend Battlefield itself started.
