Where do you want the next battlefield to take place?

unzen, if you had bothered to read the first post, you would have noticed i said:

i've heard the next battlefield game might be modern warfare again, but ignoring that, where would you want the next battlefield to take place?

but you are right, at least as far as weapons are concerned, i am little sick of the AK47-M16-G36C guns of modern warfare. however, it's the vehicles that's exciting and we are not quite sick of that yet.

Let's face it guys, it doesn't make a rats' *** what we want. EA/DICE will look at the biggest turnover in sales (namely BF2) and also at the racks and racks of servers currently hosting COD4. The next BF will be modern day setting. That's what sells.

From a personal view, I'd love a prequel game to 2142. As others, just to learn more about how the PAC/EU conflict began and stuff. I'd also like some form of 'depot capture' game-type like in Crysis - where you can build tanks and stuff with points you've accumalated. The modern day stuff is boring now. Just how many FPS games can you play that uses an MP5, G36E or AK-47?

The desert setting in most BF games doesn't actually bother me (El Alamein from 1942 being my all-time favourite) - but I do have issues with FPS's that contain a lot of vegetation. As good as Crysis was, it was still infuriating to be sniped and shoot at by someone hundreds of yards away, through 15 tree branches. Realistic it maybe. But a good FPS, it doesn't make.

MODERN WAR!!!!!!!! and maybe focus on the army and airforce and the british army (not sas) if its a future setting base it on the 2142 war but add in a few more factions like some people have said like the U.S (or whatever they are then like the D.S.A [divided states of america] or something)

So I'd love to see a prequel to 2142.
How did the battles start? Where did the ice come from? What happened to the North American forces? (Are they they fighting their own battles? Or did the US, Canada, and Mexico join forces?) etc......

Win. Win. Win.

Modern times, but in Israel...there is a he** of alot of conflict there.

maybe also how the eu and the pac became what they are in bf2142. a world war eu vs afrika and pac vs australia and us. australia and us seems to be conquered.

I say make another version of BF:2142 better, more factions, more weapons and customization, and more classes like in COD4 when your are in offline multiplayer

i'm for trying something like 2142 another time in the future. i think 2142 was a bit ahead of its time and was not really ready for prime-time. for one, titans were a great idea in concept, but they really weren't able to efficiently program the whole titan mode to run acceptably on any PC other than the highest end. i just don't think it makes sense to do another 2142 right away, the BF franchise needs a change of scenery at this time.

i'm totally for doing something totally new, that hasn't been touched in any fps game really. that's why i vouched for the korean war.

i do like the 3 faction idea though, i do hope it gets incorporated in the future. just make it so that it's 1 vs 1 vs 1 not 2 vs 1. or maybe make a mercenary faction that doesn't take sides, and can fight against either or both of the factions.

I voted other.
Why?

The only options presented here are forward and backward in time.
I'd like to see the BF series go sideways.

In other words: non-real war/time period.

A steampunk battlefield would be COMPLETE awesomeness, and you know it.
I'm not suggesting some kind of traditional fantasy 'orcs and elves' setting (although that might just work), but a little creativity would be really cool.

In short: FICTIONAL setting.

AvP had the three faction system, it was pretty interesting. however, i don't know about Sci-Fi theme because a lot of the vehicles and weapons will have to be from made up crazy ideas, and a lot of BF fans are into the realism thing.

Yeah.
I'd like to see something at least a bit futuristic, although not too far off.

The further out in time we get, the less accurate our predictions of what it will be like are.

I wouldn't mind modern either (just nothing older!).

offline multiplayer

how in mp be offline?.
i would like to see a bf in the future after the ice age when they all fight over the new grounds and there are more factions(also per map).

I think they should def make a move into the advanced Sci Fi market.

Get to like BF 3142, where we now have colonies on different planets. Have interplanetary wars and stuff; Go back to the three faction template rather than two. Somethin like Aliens vs Humans vs Human offcast Cyborg mothers.

[RYKUU]

I want to see way into the future like a different planet, mars or any other planet aliens against mustated humans.
