We’ll see ‘the future of Battlefield’ next Friday

Barring a last-minute leak

Rumors about the new Battlefield have been swirling for months now. Are you ready to get this thing over with already? I sure am. DICE has set the reveal for Friday, May 6 at 4:00pm Eastern.

I don’t necessarily have a particular style or period I’d like to see the new game adopt — WWI sounds okay! — but I’d rather not have whatever is coming next just be a direct follow-up to Battlefield 4.

To that end, what’s your favorite Battlefield? I liked the last couple of games fine, but my fondest memories are tied to 1943 and Bad Company 2. There was something special there, and both of those hit at a time when I was heavily into competitive first-person shooters.
