Looks like we'll be finding out more about the next Battlefield game later this month. The mind boggles how users figured this one out!

On May 23, we’ll find out where the next Battlefield is headed. The obsessive Easter egg hunters of Battlefield 1 figured it out by listening to water dripping from a pipe and realizing it was Morse code.

Like most Easter eggs and ARG hunts, this one took a long time to unwind. Battlefield 1 players had long noted the locked and blocked door in the basement of the Fort Vaux map, released in March 2017 as part of the They Shall Not Pass expansion, and schemed out ways to open it. Two days ago, they did — see the video above — realizing that the key to unlocking the door was breaking signs and flipping switches in a certain order, one that spells out “isolement,” which is French for “isolation.”...

...Apparently there is a dripping pipe overhead, and its drip-drops, in Morse code, spell out a URL: ea.com/neverbethesame. Going to that page gets you a date: May 23 is when we all find out the next Battlefield’s setting.

Not long to find out more! :dance:

Bf Easter eggs are always great and very detailed! Credit to the devs. Did you ever see the Megaladon in BF4?

Here's a Jackfrags video showing you how to get the dog tag, he's done some previous vids for the other stuff too.

Some artwork for Battlefield V has been leaked...

battlefield_5_art_leak_1.png


As you can see, the attire is clearly reminiscent of US Paratrooper uniform in the [Second World] war, rigger pouches and all. The character is seen holding a Colt M1911, and what looks like an M1 Carbine, though the image is blurry enough that it’s hard to be sure.

Never did finish Battlefield 4 and bought Battlefield 1 in a sale and just couldn't get on with it.

Looks like myself and the later Battlefield outings just don't get on so will be giving 5 a swerve methinks

Forgot to ask... did you get to play the closed Alpha in the end @V_R? If so what did you think of it?

Not long now! That has come around quickly :)

From the video description: "In Nordlys, resist German occupation in Norway, sabotage behind enemy lines as an unlikely English soldier in Under No Flag, fight for a home you've never seen in Tirailleur, and in The Last Tiger (available in December) join the crew of a Tiger I as they question why they fight."

Tell you what, if nothing else DICE can do two things very well.

Make awesome trailers and make awesome graphics.
