The game that brought me into this series is Battlefield 1, which is als my favorite game, the story mode is awsome! also I love to unlock and read codex, I learn more history from this game then from school.

My favorite moment is from story mode, so I will put it in spoiler tag

Spoiler

When in Avanti Savoia! Luca Vincenzo Cocchiol found his dead brother, it's really can show me how sad wars are, the entire compaign is super sad and well write, but this part was the strongest

I always play as Support in this game, since I love fixing stuff in video games, and I often got "most repairs" in operations

lastly, what I really want to see in the future is Battlefield getting a mobile game, I've got into many games, like Need for Speed and Dragon Age from the mobile version, I think a mobile battlefield gan bring lots of new players into this francise

Hello there!

So, let's begin:

• I saw a lot of reviews and videos about Battlefield 3 and then I decided, that I must play this game.   Scale of battle, a lot of weapons and vehicles and awesome maps.
• For me it will be Battlefield 3, forever.  This is my first game where I met my first friends in Internet and spent a lot of time with them in Battlefield 3.
• Unfortunately I can't remember my favorite moment, because I like tactical actions in shooters especially in Battlefield and I think this is a reason why I don't have favorite moments.  I apologize if I explained this moment bad.
• I hope I won't see Battlefield in future setting. There are some reasons. Forgive me please

Thanks!

So, first things first. My experience started with Battlefield 3. My memory is a bit blurry here, but I recall having two reasons for buying it:

1) Some of my clanmates from vanilla CoD and the clan I was in back in Hidden & Dangerous 2 got it

2) I got rid of my old PC around that time and really wanted to try out a brand new FPS.

Initially I was utter garbage at BF3, but after few hundred hours I got to the point where my performance was... well, passable. I really found my groove once I started using the crossbow.

My favorite game? BF4. sure, it had a rough start, but it really came around with time... plus, it created some prime opportunities for unusual playstyles that became my most characteristic point. Like hand flare kills.

On favorite moments, I will pick two from multiplayer. First one was an 8-man multikill with a hand flare on Lost Islands DOM. Second one happened recently... killing an armored train in BF1 with the Kolibri.

What do I hope to see? Well, return of WWII. I grew up with WWII shooters, so I would love to see them return with another decade  and a half of technological progress under the belt of developers.

1. BF1942

2. BF1942  Lan parties with a bunch of friends and an insanely talented modding community

3. ...Unfortunately, i do not have one. Except those friday nights when we were gathered to a LAN party and had a lot of fun

4. Battlefield Korea  - you know that little war that happened in the fifties in the last century?! There are so few games in that setting, that you can basically number them on the fingers from one hand and still have fingers left uncounted.

After BF2142, i took a long break from the series and just recently started to play again. Of course, i suck big time, as my reflexes are pure garbage. Hand-eye coordination is even worse

But...i can probably enjoy the games, though i imagine that my potential teammates will be pretty pissed.

1. I was playing stuff like StarCraft, CS etc. and then suddenly a FPS arrives, BF1942, where I could both fly planes, steer submarines + ships and drive tanks and jeeps. It was such a surprise for everyone and it was soooo cool. I've been solving Battlefield technical issues since 1942 now, recieved some DICE friends dogtags etc. It's been good
2. Battlefield: Vietnam (not the DLC, the full game) and BF2. That's when the Danish BF scene was all gathered at the BFGEEKS website and there was a national league and meetups. Vietnam probably wins a little bit as I recall it as more fun although BF2 was better made.
3. In BF3 in a plane I once dived between some trees and plowed over 7 dudes before going back up and shooting an enemy plane down. Now that was awesome
4. Music like BF: Vietnam. Soldiers with impeccable style - I want tophats, steampunk and colors. Plenty of community tools and freedom.

For me it will be Battlefield Bad company 2, I loved the diversity of the game, one of my favourite moment had to be getting chased by a tank while I was driving a golf cart through a golf course, but battlefield 1 is an amazing game, the best one yet !

Have a great day

Hi everyone!

I'm happy to share my experience with the battlefield franchise!

1. It was in late 2006, a friend of mine came to see me and to play some videogames and he asked me if i owned a battlefield game, but i had never heard of it. After some days, driven by the curiosity i went to the local games shop to buy a random Battlefield game, 2142 had been just released but instead of that they had Battlefield Vietnam. I bought it and it was love at first sight. Some weeks later i bought Battlefield 2142 and Battlefield 2 which i played simultaneously.  
2. Hard question, in some way i love all the battlefield titles, but honestly the one i love the most is Battlefield 4, excluding the apocalyptic release it is now the most enjoyable, deep and balanced battlefield so far (battlefield 3 is the second), and sadly the one i love the less is Battlefield 1.
3. I can't remember, i had so many...
4. In the future i expect a deep, fun and fully customizable experience where nothing is superficial or leaved to the case.

Regards

Did you know that @Babyhuehnchen is also a big support / medic fan? :D

@ivrognard

That's an interesting topic to bring up - the Korean war. I actually knew very little about it until I watched a documentary some time ago. I think it's an interesting conflict, but even more so because the war is technically still ongoing.

@FunkyReggae420

Bad Company 2 is probably the most fun I've ever had with sniping in a game.. :-)
