A comparatively small amount of post-launch content resulted in Battlefield V being viewed as a disappointment overall.

In 2018, Battlefield finally returned to World War II with BFV. Related: Battlefield Finally Acknowledges Bad Company 2 Again A match up between a Battlefield 3 Apache attack helicopter and a swarm of rudimentary WWI era biplanes seems like exactly the type of situation Portal was designed for - something that could be, on some level, mechanically compelling, but with big opportunities for humor and hijinks. Along with 2042, BF1 could potentially come to Portal relatively early, since it allows for more variety in remastered content. Even so, completionists would likely love to have every possible tool at their disposal.īattlefield 1 is chronologically the earliest title in the franchise, depicting select battles from World War I. Hardline's vehicles would certainly add some variety to Portal, but the robust rules and logic editor already provide the opportunity to create cops and robbers game types. For some, Hardline was a refreshing take on the Battlefield formula for others it never quite saw the light of day from behind BF4's enormous shadow. Instead of a strictly militaristic setting, it focused on the " war on crime," with players assuming the roles of criminal and law enforcement teams. Hardline is a bit of an oddity in the mainline Battlefield series. However, it is thematically and aesthetically very similar to BF3, so it may not be high on the priority list for future Portal content. In addition to its high standing, BF4 also has an absolutely massive amount of content, receiving five premium expansions and a handful of smaller, free offerings. In the lead up to 2042, Battlefield 4 had a resurgence in active players, suggesting it has lasting appeal. Since Bad Company's sequel is already involved, it seems unlikely that it would be one of the next titles to get the Portal treatment.įollowing Bad Company 2 and BF3, Battlefield 4 continued the series' trend of near future settings, taking place in a fictional 2020. Bad Company reduced the game sizes to support only a maximum of 24 players, but did increase the levels of destruction thanks to the adoption of the Frostbite engine. The first Bad Company was designed specifically for consoles, and did not launch on PC, so bringing Bad Company content to 2042's Portal would be the first time it's available for PC players.

The farthest future setting Battlefield has yet used, 2142 depicts a desperate conflict between the European Union and the Pan Asian Coalition over Earth's remaining resources in a new ice age. The following is every mainline Battlefield title that is not yet included in Portal, excluding free-to-play and spin-off titles like Battlefield Heroes and Battlefield Play4Free. If Battlefield Portal proves to be a success, there's a strong chance that more classic titles will receive partial remasters to be included. The rest of the series covers a wide range of eras, from the First World War, to a future even farther than that of 2042's setting in the near future.

Both Bad Company 2 and BF3 had very near future settings, each taking place a few years after their respective release years of 20. The first game in the series, Battlefield 1942, takes place - as the name would suggest - during World War II, and will receive the greatest facelift of the three, since it was originally released in 2002. When Battlefield 2042 releases in October, the three classic Battlefield games included in Portal will be Battlefield 1942, Bad Company 2, and Battlefield 3.
