Overview[]
Inspiration[]
As seen in the picture above, Frostbite 5 is one of the most detailed engines to date
Battlefield: Global Conflict is based off of the older Battlefield games (Battlefield 1942, Battlefield 2 for examples) aiming towards older players. "We are taking Battlefield: Global Conflict back to it's roots, adding the old solo conquest with full fledged bot support!" Says James Decker.

Conquest[]
Strike at Karkand 2019 concept map
Conquest is a mode that was featured in every Battlefield since Battlefield 1942.
- Oil Drum (USMC vs PLA)
- Roof Tops (MEC vs BAF)
- Ghost Town Sweep (US Army vs MEC)
- Strike at Karkand 2019 (US Army vs MEC)
- Armored Harvest (Russia vs Canada)
- Carrier (SAS vs Rebels)

- Operation rising sun (Japanese military vs insurgents)
Campaign[]
The campaign in Battlefield: Global Conflict is just the conquest maps played in order, just as how in Battlefield 1942 the maps would do the same. When the map list would end, there would be an outcome based upon how you did. If you won most of the battles as the allies or enemies, you would win the war. If the lost most of the battles, the allies or enemies would lose the war.

Known Glitches[]
Single-Player[]
Sometimes AI will malfunction, causing the bots to spin in circles to a similar glitch from Battlefield 2, but this glitch was resolved by tuning down the map size.
this was very rare, but sometimes a vehicle will drive around on its own. This is due to the game thinking a bot is in it. This problem was fixed in a patch.
Multiplayer[]
When the game was released, there was a glitch that caused any player who spawned on the bottom floor on Carrier to crash. It was fixed in a matter of days and was found that a line of code was disabled.
