“Why Would You Want Current Day DICE to Even Touch BF3?”: Community Shares Its Views on Paying Big Money for a Battlefield 3 Remaster

Battlefield fans aren’t the happiest lot on the block. While the franchise is one of the biggest FPS series out there, not everyone is on the same page about the different titles. For those who’ve been introduced to the franchise through Battlefield 2042, it’s hard to imagine the golden days. Battlefield 3 was one of the most coveted titles in the franchise. However, community members aren’t sure they’d want to see a remaster of the game, given the current scenario.

Remastered titles are often highly looked forward to by fans. With advanced technology, many devs often get back to fan-favorite titles from ages ago to give old fans of the games another chance to relive their greatest moments in all its glory. While such is the case, not all fans want their favorite titles to come back.

Redditor highlights what Battlefield 3 Remaster may have to offer

Battlefield 1 is often considered the peak of the franchise in terms of immersion. While this title took players back to the horrors of World War 1, it was the modern-day combat style of Battlefields 2, 3, and 4 that brought the community together over shared appreciation. Yet, despite being over 12 years old, fans aren’t interested in seeing DICE and EA Sports having a shot at a BF 3 Remaster right now.

The original post highlights that while the remaster might come with better graphics, it will also probably be festered with microtransactions, which have become the norm these days. There’s also a strong possibility that the devs will also try to bring a Portal 2.0 in the remastered Battlefield 3, taking a cue from Bf 2042.

Fans make their feelings heard

Since the original post went online, fans have queued up to share their thoughts on the matter. For this fan, going back to an old favorite comes with a lot of skepticism and they believe it’s better to steer clear.

For another Redditor, today’s DICE is nothing like what it used to be and hence, doesn’t deserve the chance to take a shot at a great game like Battlefield 3.

Another firm conformists to the idea of having a new game rather than attempting a remaster and ruining a great game.

This Battlefield connoisseur also thinks DICE will surely make a disaster out of such a project with its modern-day sins. Hence, better to leave Battlefield 3 alone.
