Battlefield V Takes Players Back to World War II
If there's something that Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: WWII have taught us, it's that nostalgia sells - and it sells a lot. The numbers don't lie. Battlefield 1 not only sold faster than Battlefield 4, but it also broke the 25 million players barrier not so long ago. Call of Duty: WWII didn't do too shabby either becoming the best-selling Call of Duty installment since Black Ops II. The ultimate goal for EA now is to keep the traction going and that's where Battlefield V comes in. Battlefield V, originally known internally as Battlefield 2, is the direct sequel to Battlefield 1, and as thus, the game's setting and story will take place in World War II. Hardcore Battlefield fans might recall that EA previously visited the World War II era in Battlefield 1942. However, the publisher has promised that Battlefield V won't a mere remaster but a completely new game from the ground up.
For better or worse, EA and loot boxes always seem to find themselves together in the same sentence. Anonymous sources have confirmed that Battlefield V will have loot boxes However, the loot boxes are limited to cosmetic items to customize your soldier just like in Battlefield 1 - so no worries there. EA has promised a playable "next Battlefield experience" this year at the E3 event in June. Battlefield V is expected to launch later this year.

It was interesting visiting the Củ Chi tunnels and seeing the Vietnamese anti US propaganda movies.
Kind of makes you think differently about what took place.
As for the Korean war, as someone mentioned, it's an ongoing conflict, kind of like the PRC/ROC war.
Also, could it be that the V has a double meaning as 5 and Victory?
Someone mentioned indie devs. There's WAY more trash indie devs than good indie devs, look at early access. Its an ez money ticket for shit devs.
If they redo BF Vietnam and it's as fun as the original, I will buy it (and I hate EA).
I'll pass either way.
Sorry, I don't care if you are doing it to be able to add more special effects, I want my @%#@% BIPLANE TO BE ON THE #%$^%$%^ GROUND SO I CAN TAKE OFF THE WAY IT IS MEANT TO $#^#&#$^ TAKE OFF YOU EA PIECES OF @#%#%!@%!!!
Same thing with the Battlefront series. They'll get my money again, when I can see that X-Wing waiting for me on it's landing pad. Sure I might have to camp it because every 5yr old will be vying to take off and crash it into a tree within 5 secs, but it's a tradition in Battlefield series whenever anyone gets in a vehicle that should be lifetime banned from ever using one. You just learn to expect it. Make a solo squad so no one can spawn on you, then just have a nice pleasant time until the enemy team gangs up on you in force to try and stop you.
WWII is already dried up. Too much is enough.
Sad.
