Battlefield 3īattlefield 3 was the game where the series got a hairy chest, as it were. Sadly, Battlefield 2’s PSP port never saw the light of day. The game also stands alone in its use of a non-DICE game engine, borrowing RenderWare to get things up and running on PS2, the original Xbox, Xbox 360. The first Battlefield game to come to consoles, and DICE’s first attempt at a single player campaign in the franchise with a rather unique ability to switch bodies between soldiers on your side as you battle through to complete the story objective. It’s since been superseded on every level, but will be fondly remembered by long-term fans. You had the first step into the modern era of warfare, you had squads for the first time to help with teamwork, and the Commander role to oversee your team’s efforts. EA and DICE started their game numbering shenanigans early, is what I’m trying to say.Īnyway, if Battlefield 1942 created the fundamental gameplay that has endured through the series’ lifetime, then Battlefield 2 filled in a lot of the blanks around it. Except it wasn’t actually the second game in the Battlefield franchise – that was Battlefield: Vietnam, developed by the now defunct DICE Canada. You know the saying “First the worst, second the best”? Well, the second half of that holds true for Battlefield 2. If DICE had taken ‘The Great War’ moniker and called it Battlefield Great, it would have been much further down on this list.įun fact: Battlefield 1 was not the first Battlefield game. Not only that, but it also features the First World War, or WWI. Still, it absolutely deserves to be at the top of this alphanumeric listing of the series, because it is without a shadow of a doubt Battlefield 1. Now, we can debate whether alphanumerical should be letter first or numbers first, but I’ve decided that, since this is my list, we’re going to put numbers first this time around.īattlefield 1 was not the first Battlefield game, but rather the 15th (including spin-offs). With 17 games in this long-running series, we felt the urge to rank them in order. 19 years on from the first game in the series, DICE has taken their large scale sandbox multiplayer shooter to wars in the past, wars in the modern day and even wars in the far flung future, and with I think it’s fair to say that the Battlefield franchise has been around the blocks a few times.
