Despite some problems with performance, matchmaking and more, Battlefield 6 acts as a strong return for the shooter series. There is constantly talking about whether it will surpass the Call of Duty in some areas this year, but in the beginning there were completely different ambitions for Battlefield.
In a conversation with GQ, Dice Senior producer David Sirland said that he thought Battlefield was more of a niche shooter. “When I started, Battlefield was a niche of a niche, it was almost dungeons and dragons of shooters,” he said. “I think Battlefield has survived so long because the core of the experience was so ambitious at the time”, added Jeremy Chubb, producer at Dice, to.
It is clear that the series has come a long way since its early beginnings, but the same can be said about the main competitor Call of Duty. Vince Zampella, the current Battlefield boss and the founder of Infinity Ward, described how the Call of Duty even came into being. “The only reason the Call of Duty exists is because EA was some assholes,” he said, recalling how he left EA because of a dispute about Medal of Honor more than 20 years ago.
