Yeah. It'd definitely be an interesting mix of things.

Also would totally isolate international gamers, as Im tired of having to play as the US. Even WW2 games focus only on the US, and barely touch on the other countries involved.

Maybe they should make a US vs. China game, too. Bottom line, US has an incredibly big and advanced military, and most video game companies started out in the US... so it makes sense that the US would get some role in games.

Re: Please make this Battlefield game

I was just thinking the big tank and air war with strategic nuke artillery and awesome air combat. The maps could start out as a mission where TEAM one has to perform an objective like paradrop and capture a LZ. After that, if that team retains control of the LZ the game procedes as TDM. Perhaps there are side missions off to the map corners to gain control over specialized equipment....

I'm thinking Battlefield:HotWar - the Cold War which never was.

What whould have happened if both sides pursued military expansionism? In a first person shooter with the power of the FrostByte engine? That sound's like fun to me. By the way, I'm willing to relocate. =)

Nuke artillery was a really... unwieldly type of firepower. If nukes were to be used, it wouldn't just be in the form of artillery, it would be in the form of "Oops I accidentally the whole world."

But a game like this on the Frostbite engine would be epic. Although I doubt there would be as much of an infantry role in a war like this as there would be in a WWII game, but it would certainly have it's place. As a battlefield game it would be perfect.

Somehow, I can think of nuke artillery as like... iunno... a Redeemer on steroids.

Re: Please make this Battlefield game

I have personal working experience with nuclear artillery and there are a lot of popular misconceptions about it. The yields can be so low and used in the correct terrain and environmental conditions, that they enemy can be destroyed while friendly troops persist. This is the reason for detente we've had for so many years. It's not about how much megatonnage you can explode, it's about how effectively can you achieve your goals and limit the unwanted damage.

Anyways, I was thinking a tactical nuclear strike would be a great incentive to get your men organized and looking for that launcher before mayhem strikes. Anyone every play PoE2's faboulus map "Spies Like Us"? If you don't play the mods, you're missing out...

The thing is, the idea of having tactical nukes and rushing to stop them is wayyyy overused.

^He's right, you know.

I always thought that the battlefield series represented a kind of carefree attitude. If you wanna go take a flag, then go cap a flag. Wanna snipe? Sniping's always good. The idea that we nee to stop/protect a nuke destroying a city of civies really makes it seem more like a drama than battlefield to me.
