Battlefield Royale What could have been

 this is what you could win now what we know about battlefields battle royale version not too far beyond a few select bits of information first it's called firestorm it's called that because unlike other games that have a blue zone storm fall or whatever the name each game chooses the firestorm has a ring of fire that surrounds the players we also know it will be a maximum of 64 players in 16 teams the way the players are counted matches the gamemode or the map we choose I haven't found out yet but the map is supposedly the biggest battlefield map ever and it has realistic destruction battlefield is now known for something unique probably though one of the biggest things about firestorm that sets it apart from other BR games is the vehicle gameplay is being incorporated more and more including gameplay tank, unfortunately, it will only appear in March next year, we don't really know what the general map will look like now, we can one k let's make some assumptions based on the trailer we've already seen we can be pretty sure based on the concept art of the trailer and not only what we're getting here is a world war 2 battle royale on a unique map the theme will be more or less the same like a face in the f5 game so in the firestorm trailer we saw tanks from world war 2, uniforms, vehicles as well as weapons and gadgets, the environment looked very much like a norwegian countryside with farmland, small villages and mountain ranges with lots of snow but what if that wasn't the case at all if it was something completely different and are we missing a great opportunity here I've always been of the opinion that a battlefield battle royale game should be a separate standalone experience and not directly related to be combat so I wanted to offer an alternative and o that's what this video is about, not what we're going to get, how about a battlefield well that features Map characters, weapons, vehicles, and quirks from all games Battlefield Black Out did something similar to when it was armed, including map elements from previous Black Ops games and zombies, but

how good would a battle game with a similar ideology look like i started it with a matte list i put together a list of maps from all battle games i thought were classic highlights from each game and had these unique and iconic areas some examples of this is Damavand pete will face joe the caspian border tower arica port no conch channels operation metro sharkey peninsula tv station and wake island and imagine parts of these maps combined together into one big battle royale battlefield then i went a step further than i imagined and put together we developed the whole concept of the mode and designed, what the map would look like in photoshop but before i show the finished design and go through it piece by piece let's have a look at this this was the first map in progress i've made i really just take map ideas and put them in a rough layout then it's terrible although I needed. I'll make it a bit more polished so here's what I finally came up with now let me start by saying a few things first it's just an idea it's also far from perfect it's really just an illustration of what such a map would look like and I'm certainly no expert from Photoshop and this is not a Photoshop masterpiece and it took me a very long time to make it, overall I'm happy with how it turned out. Of course there may be some elements of the map that people disagree with but it's just a concept so keep that in mind as well I'm not trying to subtract anything from the dice and criteria or say what they build with firestorm will be bad or that my concept is better game development is incredibly hard and I respect the talent and passion these developers put into their craft and we haven't gotten the game yet either so we can't judge the gameplay but we know those key details I was talking about in the beginning and i feel like what we're going to get relying on these details doesn't maximize the battle potential of the Frostbite engine railroad game and i think it's a huge missed opportunity to make something really great and stand out ok so let's have a look

what do we have starting from the top of the map with the snowy mountains here we have the Damavand peak base jump higher and I know on the base map it's not really embedded in the snowy mountain but we allow ourselves some freedom here do it all together Damavand base jump is just such a cool thing so i just had to put it right under the jump is hangar from hangar 21 in the last stunt inside would be titans in progress and just outside the hangar would be a massive knocked down titan all twisted and dusty inside kinda like a crushed Star Destroyer from the force awakens and inside of course there will be loot spawning everywhere on the right side of the mountains its working Locker or at least the central prison area this works quite well as the base Locker map is set in a snowy environment so it can be easily blended into the snowy hills and not look out of place and here we will also have large constructions with o eclipse there too I'm not d not sure what it is maybe radar antennas or at least something to do with signals bouncing back and forth they are huge and they are here in the mountains on the right side of the map before we get to the desert we have two things one of them is shot down zeppelin airship in reference to airships bf something like a downed airship

a helicopter could spawn there the tv station is quite a distinctive part of this map and on the real map it overlooks the water so i tried to put it next to the river that flows through the map this river is not just for show though it is used to connect some of the map elements i was talking about we will talk soon and you can also use the rib boats to go up and down just to the right of the tv station this is the market from the tala market in the bf3 aftermath dlc in my head this area is earthquake torn with various cracks in the ground hole, like the aftermath maps from battlefield 3 so - this is a motel from the Dustbowl map in hardline I think it would be quite an interesting place to fight as it offers several levels and it's something special I even put it in the cliffs from the Sinai desert and if needed it could expand a bit further down the map the lower part of the desert area is dedicated to the central city of Erica Harbor bad company - now i know about what do you think E Rica Harbor is next to the water but as I mentioned we allow ourselves leeway here so I placed the central city at the bottom of the desert area leading to another fan favorite what is a fan favorite well no

a bit but how fun would it be to fight over this area then south of that we have the Seine easily crossing one of my favorite Battlefield maps and that's one of the reasons the river flowed through the map we had to treat that as a key point and unlike to other maps the river is a huge part of the sin I mean after all it's the name of the river it would be weird to have a sin without that part it's quite a built up area but I'm not too worried about that as in the base map you can only enter certain buildings so I guess that would just be a matter of making sure it wasn't like some of the towns in miramar of pub fame like where every man in these dogs was window shooting at you and i combined the southern part of sin crossing with the metro operation so another reason why we needed railroad tracks flowing up through them my idea was to have the outer part of Metro rushing behind send somewhere of course tr oh magic you would need to stop tra in the tracks going underground at some point before reaching part of the subway map then back one part I really wanted to stay there was the inner part of the subway where the exit from the ticket booth is separate for i would just be an epic position to fight in the south here you can see the mall area it would be a combination of two different maps the mall would be a replica at least part of the black friday hard map the mall would be an interesting place to fight so it seemed to make sense a lot of micro and macro damage, maybe in the lower level of the mall underground you can have a car park similar to the one that works 925 at close range DLC in bf3 I'm not wanting to have too many places with multiple levels because I think it can complicate the situation in br environment but that can be easily balanced and then here we have the 1942 Omaha beach battlefield which is not an idea not represented by my desi gn map here but that's how it's supposed to be so it combines all the modern parts of the map with one that is much older so think beach area with

Omaha Beach, where you have to attack with cliffs, a few bunkers and bunkers from WW2 and trenches on top, can be mounted MG42 if you can get one whole row up. the water side lighthouse and i combined it with the argonne forest i just like lighthouses and let's be honest the valparaiso lighthouse looks pretty cool so why the hell not this area is the back to the forest area which would be the argonne forest for me the coolest part of the argonne forest it's the middle section of the bridge with the train crushed, so I tried to connect the train tracks to the forest so we could have this outage. I think it's doable north of that. Perhaps I have a dishonest transmit antenna to scale, not sure how feasible that would be, so perhaps it would need to be scaled down a bit again, and to the right of this is the middle part of the caspian border with a great fallen antenna tower, you can't have an extensive battlefield to be armed and not have the caspian border involved just to the right of what i put in a decent quentin scott hed hell and then of course those lit factories now savard's factory area is quite large on the basemap so maybe we go with just one of the factory buildings or maybe make them smaller and the last two areas of the main island are crack poppy fields. I think a small area with poppies and maybe some ditches would break up the runs a bit and the last structure would be the Montegrappa church in the hills and of course those who have been paying attention there is one section we haven't talked about yet and that is Wake Island here I talked a bit about scale and I'm still not sure if it would be completely true to scale, but the island would have to be there, of course, would it be Wake Island, it's the iconic battlefield map now near the runway. I think we could have parts of the airport, one of the new bf5 maps and then in dn mi

a separate island would be a downed plane from the lost islands map in the bf4 dlc now i understand there is a lot of detail in this now and without generally saying how feasible a map like this is well thats a good question all of them structures with as much detail as possible i can't say that because i'm not a game designer and i don't work on the Frostbite engine but this whole map idea is something i'm really excited about and from a personal level as a gamer and battlefield fan i just think it would be awesome to play on them like this and revisit all those iconic battlefield maps and locations just coming together in a nice fluid form throw in 100 players Ring of fire is getting smaller and you're having a damn good time yeah you might have to lose a lot of detail and maybe some destruction but all the key components and iconic image geometry could be there and i just think th idea is way more exciting than what we've seen so far on firestone maps is fine anyway so this is a map but battle royale is not just a map it's so much more if we have a map that revolves around all previous battlefield titles then of course we need to have weapons, gadgets and vehicles from these games so i have a list here but keep in mind these are just a few of my favorites and the reality is you can have many of these items but these are just a few suggestions so for assault rifle weapons of course you must have m16a3 there it would be absolutely rude if stg44 wasn't there too give someone a taste of battlefield 5 and i think maybe xm8 assault rifle from bad company 2 then fedorov with bf and it would be nice to see something like K in there too so maybe you could have an ak-47 from battlefield 2 or an akm from bf hardline and to be sure we got a good choice that throws a gazebo as well they are with bf 21:42 for that futuristic feel and i think it's a good choice of assault rifles to choose ru and i would probably also add m16a4 or n 94 for burst firing rifle just to give some variety and a viable burst fire option

then sniper rifles in all battlefield games there are definitely some iconic sniper rifles so i have 5 on my list car 98 with bf 5 golf with bad company 2 smle with bf 1 m40a5 with bf3 then awm with hard lane bf for bf4 i thought that maybe Genji 90 but honestly there are just loads to choose from Moretti sr4 can also be joined from 2142 now you may have noticed that so far I have tried to pick one weapon from each Corps battle game for each weapon class several games have similar and replicating weapons like bf3 for unn hardline so there's definitely some crossover there but actually you'd probably have to thin it out a bit because you won't want crazy weapon types and ammo types in a BR game but for the purposes of this game it's fine, and also some weapons can only be drop or event powered then we move on to submachine guns and sdw I deliberately left out d10 from hard line cause let sh honestly no one wants another ridiculously powerful op SMG sorry so currently I only have 4 on the list because I didn't want this pool to be too big so we have mp5 and the three from bf to PDW are with bf3 MP 18

The memes envision winning a Battlefield gut jet game with a Calibri. It would be amazing. I mentioned that before, but these are just a few suggested weapons to show the variety we could have in reality. It might be too many weapons to even out if we were making this game today, you'd probably swap out one or two because they're too similar, but as a cool weapons list, how exciting is that, some of these weapons are just so iconic and you can play with them and find a m16 a three on the ground or two or mand fights to raise the no shot channels would be just amazing at least in my head hell you can even find a rocket launcher shaped like the S -Have roars to take out potential choppers or tanks The rocket launcher you wielded and took a bit of skill and I've been saying all along that I think a Frostbite VR standalone game would be great, if then the battlefield also could have a br mode and would not be limited only by its theme l Check out call of duty in zombies, their zombie mode is completely separate from theirs year after year core theme and it just works. You could easily have BR mode as a launch-abort element in the game, just like Blackout and Zombies in Cod, but still have it standalone so developers have creative freedom to do what they want with BR mode. Of course there are some reasons why you might not want this, but you'd still have to tell through the core game to get the BR so maybe you could have the best of both worlds here. The reality is we are stuck on what about vehicles. Well this is interesting because we already know that cubes have tanks for firestorming so of course we would have a tank or two in there maybe an m1 abrams or a tank in terms of transport vehicles they could be a three obeah for jeeps even a tough sports car or a motorcycle but get a horse, f1 horses imagine you had to use a horse because you're looking at the flames but let's keep the flames off firestone because they are damn cool and the only thing you have available to keep you safe is a

horse and then you gallop across the Caspian border through the Argonne forest, perhaps head over the bridge behind the temple and end up in front of the TV station where a tank is waiting for you, a horse with 80 grenades against m1 Abrams, just the thought of it should at least pique your interest I think that this game would take a similar approach to obfuscation when it comes to air vehicles so maybe a transport helicopter with a bf3 or four just for locomotion but with a low ceiling and of course gadgets some stuff you can find and use scattered around the world in crates with the loot being drop RPGs they sure would have to be there to help take out tanks and helicopters but what about having a uk or EOD but as gadgets oh there is a sniper tower you don't have any more rounds in your car 98 what you're going to do turn the corner there's a loot box inside the boom it's a taxi fire throw a yucca at the tower take out the tower sniper falls to the ground Oh amazing but other than that like the spotting arrows in blackout you can have one flare gun for example you can shoot it in the air and maybe it will take a while and it can be destroyed like in f5 maybe even some c4 in all of gaming history Battlefield there are so many cool gadgets to turn on here now as there is destruction i would also add grenade launcher from bf3 but it wouldnt do much damage to infantry and you could replace

customization so weapon skins are good it's in bf5 they got some player customization there too but you can also have some returning battlefield characters like bf3's henry blackburn still in his uniform maybe a shark jet pilot too on a helmet as a playable character, maybe bf3 solomon again with bf4, you can have irish, of course, maybe even hannah or a record, you have a trekker we could then throw in hard line nick mendoza, of course, you can also have all bad company 2 team selection might as well be rude not to and what about community stuff like battlefield friends imagining being able to pick neebs as your battlefield battle royale character then from BF1 you can have people like Lawrence of Arabia the bodyguard or a tank driver and then just regular soldiers that look cool the list goes on and I have to admit that the battlefield in its history has not really I will get a lot of iconic characters and certainly not as many as Cod but as far as the way they look in multiplayer yes definitely yes you just need to have certain characters to get at certain times to create some hype amongst people trying to unlock them through quests and due to the nature of this map you can also change certain areas from time to time and replace them with a completely different section from another map because why didn't I mention it before but it's probably good to say it again you can add fire capsules from Hangar 21 finalists and map all those little Battlefield map quirks and LEvolution gimmicky stuff that maybe you could put

obviously a huge undertaking and months and years of work I can't say for sure if it would be possible at all on a defrost engine or if you could put all of these in one map and make it work well and play well just don't know but in In the theoretical world, something like this is just a game I'd like to play. I know there are so many map options, weapons, characters, gadgets the list goes on how excited would you be to see something like this i think it could be an amazing battlefield battle experience celebrating everything that has come true has offered us over the years and putting it all together in one game one map that combines all these elements and I think it would just be a fucking awesome experience to last and once again I'm not trying to downplay what we've seen so far from the firestorm from the criteria and bones and hope that maybe one day with time, money and creative people something like this could happen if it were to grow if it was a real and standalone product whether it be 420 books or a free cosmetics supported product
