A leaker has now claimed that EA is likely to make a change to the setting of the nextBattlefieldgame. The decision has seemingly come about as a result of the lastBattlefieldgame performing poorly both critically and commercially, as DICE claims to have learned from its previous mistakes with the franchise.
An inside source fromDICE has claimed that the company has learned valuable lessons fromBattlefield 2042. The insider claims that the company plans to improve on the missteps that it made withBattlefield 2042, as many fans have complained that the entry changed many elements that were integral to theBattlefieldformula. Some of the main gripes fans have withBattlefield 2042is the removal of the class system in favor of an operator system and maps that are too big.

According to reputable leaker Tom Henderson, the sequel that was originally planned forBattlefield 2042was alleged to be a hero shooter that would build on the foundation of the previous game. Henderson claims that DICE has ditched this idea and that the company is also planning on giving the nextBattlefieldgame a modern or near-future setting, as opposed toBattlefield 2042, which was set in the future.
The alleged planned change to the setting of the nextBattlefieldgame is likely owing to fans being more receptive to the previousBattlefieldgames, which were set in either the present day or the past. The fact that theprevious three entries in theBattlefieldseries are all outperformingBattlefield 2042on Steamshows that a return to a modern-day setting would likely be what fans would like to see from the series going forward.
Another issue many fans had withBattlefield 2042is that they felt that the maps were too large and empty, thankfully, however, it seems as though DICE is set to rectify this with new updates. The company has noted that theupcomingBattlefield 2042maps will be smaller. This is good news for those still playing the game, as its low player count only seems to accentuate how large and empty the maps already feel.
DICE also recently addressed another issue that fans had with the game in a recent update, as theBattlefield 2042scoreboardnow shows the number of kills and deaths players have in comparison to their own team as well as the enemy team.
