Vietnam
5 Places the Next Battlefield Should Go
The second Battlefield game tackled the Vietnam war with great results. What made it particularly interesting was the asymmetric nature of its combat, with the two sides possessing wildly different weapons and equipment. The US relied on vehicles and heavy machinery while the Vietcong practiced guerrilla warfare and utilized traps. This could bring something new to the modern online shooter and mark a bold change of pace. Nailing the tone would be of particular importance however, given the brutality and nature of the Vietnam war.
A collection of vignettes similar to how Battlefield 1’s story played out would work well here, telling the story from both sides. Jungle warfare could be a very interesting dynamic for a modern Battlefield game and could make the series stand out from its competitors if done correctly. We’ve not seen too many games set in the Vietnam War so far, so maybe it would be a good place to expect the series to go.
