When Battlefield V (5) releases I hope they stick to their promise and not deal with that type of petty in-game monetization. Sorry for the little rant there, I just get a little disappointed when people do not want a future Battlefield, but it has a ton of possibility for it as well. Buy Battlefield 1 Revolution Xbox ONE cheaper on Instant Gaming. A lot of possibility and it looks AMAZING in that trailer.
Still though, I really appreciate taking the setting back to World War 1. That expansion was great (the one with the warships and boarding them), but I don't think it really captured the feeling of boarding the huge Titan ships in 2142. It is a shame though since it was an amazing game and inspired one of the expansions for Battlefield 4. I believe that many people don't understand that a future setting for Battlefield would have been good because many did not play Battlefield 2142, which is PC-exclusive from what I remember. I am sure if people played Battefield 2142, they would understand that Battlefield 2143 would have been amazingly epic with the new technology. To be honest though, I do not understand the hate for a future setting for Battlefield. I am really excited for this new setting of World War 1! I always appreciated games that take this setting, especially games like Verdun.
