I get Battlefield 1942. It was the beginning, set in World War II.
I get Battlefield Vietnam. Even the Vietnam setting, including a fast-forward of a few decades forward in time.
I get Battlefield 2. Modern-day settings.
I get Battlefield 2142. Future setting.
I did not fully get Battlefield 3. Modern-day setting again, but at least a nice graphics and physics engine.
I don't get Battlefield 4 at all. The graphical updates are subtle enough that many people cannot tell the difference between it and its predecessor. I see threads on forums of people getting excited about this game and what are they discussing? ...what guns will be carried over from Battlefield 3 to Battlefield 4. Or, in other words, what parts of the new game will be almost exactly like the "old" game.
I don't get it.
