There are particular eras where'd it's be easy to envision DICE being forced to change the Battlefield formula drastically-maybe millennia into the past, where the only 'vehicle' on offer is a giant Trojan horse, or so far into the future that the battles take place via telepathy (or something weird like that). But the latest rewind to World War 1 in the newest installment, Battlefield 1, isn't enough of a change, apparently.
As such, the eras have ultimately been a backdrop for the same experience time and time again: big battles, big squads, and big machinery. Whether focused on wars of the past, present, or future, developer DICE has continually introduced different set pieces and weapons to the games. The Battlefield video game series has turned the clock backward and forward on its military-combat scenarios for nearly 15 years. Release Date: Octo(early enlister edition), Octo(regular edition) Platform: Windows, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 (reviewed on Windows, XB1)
