Battlefield V (2018) getting Battle Royale mode

Ozzy’s Thoughts: While hearing about the next Battlefield game being set in WWII then the rumor of it having some kind of “co-op” mode but now possibly getting a BR mode…well put simply it does not at all surprise me.  Battle Royale is HUGE (right now) and everyone and everything seems to want to try and get it on it and make there mark on it.  The two heavy hitters (PUBG, FortniteBR) don’t seem to be loosing anytime soon but now we’re (possibly) getting a new contender.  Soon to be the big three possibly?  As a Battlefield fan, I have not been looking forward to the next BF game but now with this “mode” possibly coming…*heavy sigh.*  If they made this a separate game (EA’s BR game) that’s fine, but all I can think of now is how bad Battlefield: Hardline was.  Not in the sense of it being a bad game, it was fine.  But it was advertised as “Cops and Robbers” which could’ve been unique but it’s just Battlefield 4 in downtown LA.  So is the next one going to be Battlefield 1 BR in 1940’s Berlin?

Can this fade be over with yet?
