Maybe working on the other gameplay mode that hasn't really been shown yet.

lol EA's rep and here we have people throwing money at them before even a beta has dropped.
Indeed. It happens every time and it's why companies such as EA can just release any old unfinished, buggy ****.
Half decent idea but really didn't get all that much use, you could spend a lot of time setting up fortifications and have a friendly tank trundle through it and flatten everything in seconds. It was handy for some things like assembling at guns or hedgehogs but that was about it.
In bfv the implementation was bugged (no surprise there) and a lot of the time there was no hint that an area had an at gun that could be built, vs the infantry mg which had the parts sitting there which was a better visual clue.
Vehicles towing guns was another OK idea that didn't seem to get used much either, I think in battlefield a lot of players are set in their ways for certain things and new additions barely get used. I would have thought a tank towing an aa gun to fend off planes would be a nobrainer, I can count on one hand the amount of times I actually seen anyone do that.
We think they are re-modelling and designing all the iconic maps from the previous BF's, like 1 or 2 from each game, and bringing them into the same timeline and setting, as there are only a handful of maps at the moment.
not another Metro. Dice please.
Maybe a Bad Company 3 SP spin off?
they are working on a new mode. i think it maybe something BR or similar and they just call it a different name.

According to Dice deffo not BR.
Yea, they've been pretty stern about not dipping their toe into that area. It's so horribly overdone and saturated at this point. It's best they keep their own identity
as said probably just tweak it and call it a different name.
The only thing I can think they'd do is lean on their vehicle warfare a lot more than CoD. Each squad gets a certain amount of points to call in what they need and the map is HUGE.

Uh-oh....bots in multiplayer confirmed 
Hopefully this doesn't end up like PUBG where 90% of the player base are bots!

Hopefully this doesn't end up like PUBG where 90% of the player base are bots!- Multiplayer – AI soldiers are used for server-filling capabilities, ensuring your matches remain full, no matter your location.
- Co-Op – Allows you to play together with friends, against AI soldiers.
- Solo – If you wish to perfect your skills for multiplayer, you can even play alone against AI soldiers.

I don't see this as a problem, as long as in the server browser it shows the number of PLAYERS and doesn't count a bot as a spot taken. That way if you want to jump on a less chaotic server if you want to try some fun stuff out without being shot every 5 seconds. It just means that those that like niche play modes that might not be as popular won't be left without an empty map. And as long as the server drops a bot to make space for a player.
I'm happy with the AI implementation alone due to the above.
The drop pods were so cool although I remember our country internet really struggled with them. There could be a big delay between it hitting the ground and you actually being able to shoot.
They talked but it just sounded like waffle and a new name for battle royale. High stakes, squad based gameplay where good comms are needed and sweaty palm tension building moments.
May aswell have called it ‘Warzone 2.0’
Hopefully it is just that, but less cheaters due to it not being free
Definitely battle royal. They would not release without one in the current climate.They talked but it just sounded like waffle and a new name for battle royale. High stakes, squad based gameplay where good comms are needed and sweaty palm tension building moments.

Yup, need to attract a big chunk of the Warzone crowd. If they do they’ll be in the money for sure.
I also expect that Warzone players that havent bought Modern Warfare or Cold War (like some of my mates) would happily pay £50 for a Warzone type game that has less cheaters. They havent bought the game but occasionally buy cod points to buy things like skins
For me it all hangs on the game mechanics and how it ‘feels’
