In the coming weeks, we can expect to hear a lot more information about Battlefield V which is due for release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC later in 2018. It is set during World War II and from what I have recently read, will be a kind of sequel to the awesome Battlefield 1 which sounds very interesting to me.
Well, we all know what happened with Star Wars Battlefront II on the Microtransactions front. Battlefront II was also made by Dice and put out by EA so many gamers, were understandably worried that Battlefield V may have a loot box system that is unfair or maybe some kind of pay to win system which Star Wars Battlefront II certainly had.
Star Wars Battlefront II is actually a fine game, there is a lot of good in it, but the damage is now done and the black mark next to its name will never be erased. Not only that, it put a really dark light on the whole industry.
Battlefield V though is not going the Star Wars Battlefront II route thankfully.
“No one’s gonna do any pay-to-win stuff anymore,” one person close to the next Battlefield told me recently. “We didn’t take any of the loot box controversy lightly.”
That is a direct quote and I have also since learned that any loot boxes that are going to be in Battlefield V will be for cosmetic items only. I like this and think it is a good way to go about loot boxes. Taking the way Overwatch handles their loot boxes is a good way to go if you ask me and it sounds like that is the kind of thing that Dice are looking to do with Battlefield V.
