We have nostalgic memories of the time when EA delighted us with Battlefield: Bad Company 2, allowing us to demolish entire buildings using various explosives and destructive methods. Battlefield 4 took it a step further, introducing dynamic map changes in multiplayer through in-game destruction.
Nevertheless, in 2021, Battlefield 2042 seemed to overlook the cherished elements that defined the series. It's widely known that one of the contributing factors to its diminished popularity was the absence of the high-quality destruction that had long been a distinguishing feature of Battlefield games.
However, the job listing from Ripple Effect, the studio tasked with creating the next Battlefield game, strongly implies that the iconic feature will make a comeback. It appears that the new Battlefield installment will once again offer players the chance to unleash chaos and wreak havoc on the game maps.
In a recent job listing by Ripple Effect for a VFX Director position in Canada, emphasis was placed on the search for a 'Senior 3D Artist' tasked with crafting 'the most realistic and thrilling destruction effects in the industry.' The listing highlighted the pivotal responsibility of creating optimised and hyper-realistic in-game VFX as a key aspect of the role.
Since its release, Battlefield 2042 has gained notoriety as the weakest entry in the series, not only due to its deficient destruction feature but also owing to a myriad of other shortcomings. One of those shortcomings is, without doubt, the lack of a campaign. Even though the campaigns in previous installments were nothing special, many players actually like them.
Perhaps the immense popularity of The Finals and their remarkable level of destructiveness prompted EA to consider revisiting the proven and familiar formula, or perhaps another factor influenced their decision. Regardless, given the players' affinity for demolition, why not grant their desire?
