Battlefield is a popular military first-person shooter video game franchise primarily developed by Swedish company EA DICE and published by Electronic Arts. The series is best known for large-scale multiplayer battles that emphasize teamwork and combined arms warfare, involving infantry, tanks, airplanes, and other vehicles, often on expansive maps. The gameplay often includes class-based roles, destructible environments, and iconic game modes like "Conquest," where teams compete for control points on the map. The franchise began with Battlefield 1942 (2002), set in World War II, and has evolved through many iterations, including Battlefield 2 (modern-day warfare), Battlefield Vietnam, and the latest Battlefield 6 (also known as Battlefield 2042 in previous versions). Battlefield 6 features modernized gameplay with intense infantry and vehicle combat, iconic global locations, and the innovative Battlefield Portal system, which allows players to create custom game modes and environments. Battlefield's hallmark features include full- scale war experience combining ground, air, and sea combat, extensive vehicle use, class-based squad play, and a focus on strategic destruction within the game environment to gain tactical advantages. Overall, Battlefield is regarded as a key cultural export from Sweden in the gaming sector and continues to be a significant player in the first-person shooter genre worldwide.
