For the Battlefield front, the biggest rival of Call of Duty, things did not go well last year. Battlefield 2042, the best-selling game of the series in the last 10 years and receiving low ratings from both review sites and players, can change the fate of the brand.
The information coming from sources close to both EA Games and DICE Entertainment is that serious meetings were held to switch the production to the free-to-play model. Of course, this possibility will raise very serious question marks.
EA may make the game free very soon
Things have not been going well at Battlefield 2042 developer DICE for a while. The panic button may have been pressed for Battlefield 2042, which received very negative feedback from the players and the number of instant players decreased day by day. Large and small patches are constantly being released by the producer DICE in light of the feedback about the game. However, players are not at all satisfied with the final version of Battlefield 2042.
Many problems such as the instability of the production’s XP system, server problems, and the removal of new mods that were brought to the game with great hopes, have caused serious concern on the EA front. The news from sources close to EA Games management shows that the famous publisher is seriously considering switching the game to the ‘Free to Play’ model.
Tom Henderson, one of the leading hearers in the industry, stated in a new video that EA is working on methods that can make the game free, and that at least one or two modes will be offered to players for free, if not the entire game. In this sense, Portal or Hazard Zone (possibly both) may become open to all players in the new period.
Of course, there has been no response from EA or DICE to all these rumors yet. If such a decision is taken, it is also a matter of curiosity how the players who have paid the full game fee for the game a short time ago will react.
