Battlefield V
Battlefield Vis sticking to 64 - player matches , not because of technological limitation , but because the developer ’s have n’t found evidence that 128 players ( 64 - on-64 matches ) would be any more fun . TheBattlefieldseries ' multiplayer - evenBattlefield V’sFirestorm conflict royale mode- has stuck to a 64 histrion maximum since it begin , but some participant have been hop for an increase to 128 .
Battlefield V , thoughpraisedby some for its refined gameplay , was largely knock by fans for itsmissing feature , like theadvertised soldier - drag mechanic . The game has melt into even more of problems since launch , includingcontroversial microtransactions(someNazi - based),visibility bugsand afailed Firestorm duet way .

In an interview withGame Informer , creative director Las Gustavsson and senior development managing director Ryan McArthur spoke about the direction they ’re takingBattlefield V. They emphasized the fact that Battlefield V ’s unique lieu as the serial ' most alive service - based plot yet is allow them to listen to players and adapt the biz accordingly . Gustavsson toldGame Informerthat the original design document forBattlefield 1942 , the series ' first game , mention 128 - player battle , though the final game send with a 64 - actor utmost . Since then , Gustavvson said , several changes to the serial ' multiplayer - squads , squad spawning and other spawn system - has increased the concentration per cadence of soldier on the single-valued function by " probably 10 times " from1942 ’s multiplayer . McArthur sum up that more is n’t always better , and the team is base their decision on what makes the beneficial gameplay :
" It ’s raw to sit there , even for us in the studio , to go ' 128 is precisely what we postulate . ' I think the most authoritative affair is , does 128 make it more merriment ? [ … ] Naturally we need to constantly push those boundaries , but I do n’t think , I do n’t know if it ’s the applied science hold us back in that regard as opposed to making certain that when we make something like that it ’s not just a bit on the boxwood . Someone needs to play it and say this game is actually better because we have 128 players as opposed to us going , ' Look at us , we made a number go up . ' "
The two still seemed subject to the player increase , however , if they can make the change justified somehow . Gustavsson said the developers all have dreams of where they ’d wish to take theBattlefieldseries , and McArthur say it ’s a thing of finding the right way to implement the increased number , which would include function and vehicle considerations .
" You look at something like that tell , ' For underground , 30 players might be veracious , but Normandy can you do hundreds , ' whatever that would be . What you need to do is create fresh experiences for players . For us , is it 128 players or 60 tanks ? Because that would be crazy as well . We need to calculate out the gameplay experience we want to deliver . "
It ’s possible thatBattlefield Vcould eventually get to that point , too . McArthur said the game is design to continually evolve over time . In fact , he joked that his " destination in life " is to never make another Battlefield game again , instead only building on the foundation ofBattlefield V. This could allow the team to short-circuit the vault they have to overcome whenever they plunge a newBattlefield .
Obviously , it would n’t be surprising if a newBattlefieldgame finally get along around to attract unexampled players , but the idea of a constantly updatingBattlefieldplatform is an attractive one that makes the $ 60 investment seem more worthwhile . The normal has been proven at least partly successful by the likes ofDestinyandDestiny 2 ’s expansions and update , not to mention the massive success of the constantly changingFortnite . Like it or not , hot military service are the present and future of AAA games , and it face likeBattlefield Vis no exception .
