The campaign was a particular highlight for this entry, with the titular Bad Company quickly becoming endeared to fans. While not being as fleshed out or popular as its successor, the game brought Battlefield to a whole new player base, and for it leading the way to Bad Company 2, we’ll always be grateful.

The first game to really take advantage of the destruction Battlefield is now known for, Battlefield Bad Company brought the PC franchise to console gamers. The main problem it had was it launched between the two Bad Company games, so it doesn’t define that era of gaming like the other games have. It was undeniably a Battlefield game set in the Second World War and is remembered fondly by Battlefield fans from the Xbox 360 days. #8 – Battlefield 1943Īnother WW2 Battlefield game and the spiritual successor to 1942, this console-only Battlefield game was well-received by fans. While being a solid BR, the $60 price tag and lack of dev support caused it to die out after only a couple of months. Now, if you’re wanting to play a modern WW2 shooter, BFV’s Pacific maps are a great place to go.Ī battle royale mode, Firestorm, was also released for the game. The Pacific DLC which came towards the end of the games lifecycle gave it a breath of life, however. The problem with this is that it didn’t feel like a WW2 game, and much of Battlefield’s player base returned to previous titles or switched to Call of Duty Modern Warfare. With major changes made to the game to make it more hardcore, Battlefield V fell well short of expectations.Īlthough returning to the franchise’s roots as a WW2 game, Battlefield V chose to focus on the lesser-known battles of the Second World War. While being fun, it didn’t have the depth that Battlefield fans had come to expect, so it will forever be remembered as a ‘good’ entry to the franchise, while other games far exceed that review. The game was fun, but it didn’t do as well of a job of capturing the horrors of the conflict in as impactful of a way that Bad Company 2’s DLC later did. #10 – Battlefield Vietnamīattlefield Vietnam was one of the first video games to deal with this conflict, while Call of Duty and even Bad Company 2 later dealt with the war. Unfortunately, it was too far away from what fans were used to, and Battlefield 3 and 4 remained the most popular Battlefield games until Battlefield 1 released in 2016. It wasn’t outright hated, but very few loved it. Developed by Visceral Games, it had a very lukewarm response from the community. Rather than the large scale warfare Battlefield fans were accustomed to, Hardline went for a Cops and Robbers setting. Unfortunately, Battlefield 2142 isn’t remembered as one of the greats as it just wasn’t what Battlefield players wanted at this time. The game itself was solid, well-built, and gained a positive critical reception.
Perhaps in gaming’s current climate, Battlefield Heroes would be better received. Before the servers were shut down in 2014, it had become a microtransaction filled nightmare that turned away both fans and newcomers. It was casual with room to improve your skills, had cartoony graphics, and a more ‘happy’ feel considering the WW2 setting.Īs it was free-to-play and easy to run, many enjoyed it at launch but it never stayed relevant for long. This free-to-play third-person version of Battlefield had the spirit that the early days of Fortnite so perfectly captured. # 13 – Battlefield Heroesīattlefield Heroes was Fortnite before the world was ready for it. The Xbox 360 version was better but was largely forgettable in the grand scheme of things.īad Company, which came out two years later, captured console audiences in a way that Battlefield 2: Modern Combat could have only hoped for.

#14 – Battlefield 2: Modern CombatĪ console spin-off for Battlefield 2, Modern Combat fell flat on almost every front as the PS2 and Xbox weren’t powerful enough to capture what made Battlefield great. We’re ranking all of the Battlefield games released so far from worst to best. Although Call of Duty is the biggest first-person shooter franchise in the world, older titles couldn’t hold fans’ attention as Battlefield could. Battlefield games are known for their longevity, with many older titles staying active several years past their launch.
