Granted, developers DICE worked hard to right the wrongs ofBattlefield 2042and I’m sure it’s a much better game now but for many, too much damage had already been done.

I have major reservations as to whether the open-world approach is the way to go for the next Battlefield. Perhaps that could work in a multiplayer mode, but when it comes to single-player campaigns, I’m all for a somewhat linear, narrative-driven story.
