Definitely too early, but I think it will definitely be either Vietnam or modern war (what else could it really be? They definitely can't go further back than WWI, else you'd be running around with muskets or something). But I doubt it's even started the planning phase yet, and most likely the next game will come out for the next-gen consoles so it won't be at least until 2021 probably.
I just hope they make it "Cold War" era, so we could have a lot of weapons, gadgets and vehicle, but without all the silly stuff from the modern era.
And then they should use the BF4 formula without the obscene amount of bugs at launch.
If you prefer the historical settings, the 12 years between Battlefield Vietnam (2004), and Battlefield 1 (2016) was a long wait. Now the shoe is on the other foot. So, next modern Battlefield in 2027?
It's way too earlier to do anything but what the guy's blog in your link does: guessing and finger-crossing.
There's been rumors floating out of the DICE offices since not long after the release of BF 1 that BFBC3 was a project they were working on, and that it would be taking place in the Vietnam era. However, they did an interview on the subject where DICE/EA said they were afraid to rush BFBC because they were still trying to figure out exactly what it was the fans adored about the bad company games, and they didn't want to kill the title.
So maybe. Or maybe we'll get korea. Or maybe this game and it's awful sales and shoddy management killed the franchise. We'll have to wait and see.
Bleh. Too much vegetation, not enough buildings. I'm hoping for BC3. I played through the BC2 campaign again yesterday - damn fun!
Just thinking about BFV's visibility in a Vietnam setting has me triggered beyond belief. On a side note.. it's weird saying BFV and not meaning Battlefield Vietnam lol.
Hopefully they do the cold war. This way they can continue tides of war because of the many different engagements and factions. Also, we get something kinda modern but not crazy or too futuristic

I suspect and would hedge a bet it'll be BF 6 with a six rather than a Roman numeral to signify a contemporary shooter.
Or a left-field side bet that it'll be a futuristic shooter ala BF2142
There is absolutely no substance or facts in the VGR article to determine what's next.

Not going to happen. You will not see any modern EA shooters atleast any time soon.
