User blog:Awyman13/DICE: 'Battlefield 5' Needs More Destruction

DICE has hinted the future of the series, emphasizing that the narrative is becoming less and less important. The two Head Pats of DICE, Patrick Soderlund and Patrick Bach, had an interview with NY Times over why they believes the series is successful and what they'll do to keep it going.

Soderlund said, "I hate to say this but storytelling does not come naturally to Swedes. But we're good at designing systems, and thats what these games really are. Minecraft puts a box in front of you and says 'Do whatever you want with it'. Battlefield is a system designed for entertainment rather then for telling you a story."

Bach said "''The story is just the coating of the game. The game is now the experience of playing it.
