Ex-DICE Developer Says Battlefield Fans Should 'Temper Their Expectations'
While I agree Warzone is trending downward, I am not sure BF can fill this void nor whether they should.
This comes with unique asks and requests from the player base, which I might argue would present a departure from the "core" Battlefield that fans want DicEA to return to.
BR could be cool, but in my opinion should be a secondary consideration. The core of Battlefield is Conquest. Make that experience great, and I mean congruent with BF4, and *then* work on Battle Royale. If they drop the ball on the core Battlefield experience and keep trend chasing with quirky one liners from characters and seasonal content over the base experience, it'll be the last BF game we get.
Battle Royale is cool and all but OG Battlefield was cooler, and that's what the franchise needs to return to as a priority.

They really want to piss people off.
We don't want live service - this approach will yield them LESS revenue, not more, as BF players will leave the plafrom, and those who want live service have no reason to leave COD
We don't want Battle Royale, as those interested in this have numerous options all of which undoubtedly already do or will by that time have a nearly insurmountable lead in experience, balance, as well as player count and loyalty.
What we want is BF4 and BF3, modernized with current day mechanics, graphics, weapons, and realistic customizations.
We don't want bong skins on the guns. We don't want neon pink rifles. Stick to the fuxkin roots.
Battlefield literally has this last chance and it's either gonna make or break the franchise. It either sails or sinks forever based on this next game. And with the rise of Arma and it's realistic focus, if BF2025 drops the ball, the fan base will never return (and it's not like BF solicits a large number of new young players over Fortnite, cod, apex etc.)
I hope dice EA reads this. Delay if you have to. But fxck this new age focus. You will lose.
