Battlefield is a military first-person shooter video game franchise primarily developed by EA DICE and published by Electronic Arts. The series is well known for its large-scale, online multiplayer battles that emphasize teamwork and combined arms warfare, featuring infantry, tanks, airplanes, and other vehicles. The flagship game mode, "Conquest," involves teams fighting to control points on a map. The franchise started with Battlefield 1942 in 2002 and has continued to evolve with numerous installments set in various historical and modern settings, including World War II, Vietnam, modern warfare, and future scenarios. The games also incorporate classes, destructible environments, and a variety of game modes. The most recent major release is Battlefield 6, which has been highly anticipated as a return to the core gameplay elements that made Battlefield 3 and 4 popular, with features such as simple classes, large player lobbies, and intense combined arms combat.
