The Battlefield franchise is in a bit of a tough spot right now. The trouble really began back in 2018, with the pre-release marketing and subsequent launch of Battlefield V, a game that made a few major missteps both up to launch and after it. Then came Battlefield 2042, a game that was intended to be the course correction that the series needed, but one that failed disastrously to be so. It's clear that the Battlefield franchise needs to pivot to a new direction. For once, it might be best to take a page out of Call of Duty's playbook and lean all the way into nostalgia by finally delivering that Battlefield Bad Company 2 remake that fans have been asking for.
