It was upgraded with significant improvements to the Refractor 2 engine which was used in several Battlefield games.

However DICE saw the game shine and soon acquired Refraction and having learned a great deal from Operation Eagle produced Battlefield 1942 which was ultimately a major success.

The game features a variety of vehicles including tanks motorbikes aircraft ships and even airships. The game was released with a large number of bugs and was criticised by many media for its lack of detail in the setting.

Operation Eagle (Codename Eagle) is a first-person shooter developed by Swedish company Refraction in 1999 and released for the PC in 2000.

There are a number of games that are not part of the Battlefield series but are closely related to it.

This game takes players back to the series' iconic Total War. Step into a near-future world disfigured by disorder and adapt to and conquer the ever-changing battlefield with the help of squad mates and cutting-edge weapons. [12]

The game uses the Frost engine to showcase more powerful 3D detail effects taking animation environmental destruction lighting maps and sound to a new level. The game officially launches on November 20 2018 on PC Xbox One and PS4.

Battlefield 5 (English title Battlefield 5) is a first-person shooter developed and produced by EA DICE Studios (EA Digital Illusions CE) and published by EA (ArtEco).

In the late 2000s titles such as Battlefield Renegade Company Battlefield 1943 and Battlefield Heroes were limited by technology to support up to 24 or even fewer players but accordingly the pace of combat was sped up thus increasing the thrill of the game. 2011 saw EA DICE reveal Battlefield 3 the official sequel to Battlefield 2 to the outside world emphasising the importance of having a grand scale is an element of the Battlefield series.

Battlefield 1942 Battlefield 2 Battlefield 3 Battlefield 5 and Battlefield 2042 all support up to 64 players online at the same time.

To accommodate the variety of vehicles maps in the Battlefield series can typically be tens of hectares in size with scenarios set in open areas with small towns and military bases. In some third-party modules maps can even be several square kilometres in size. Some Battlefield games also offer scaled-down versions of the maps which are suitable for skirmishes with low numbers of players. The maps are not bounded by obstacles but a map representation indicates the range in which players can move and players who do not return within a certain time frame will be cut down to the point of death.

These included landing craft submarines battleships destroyers and more. However battles between sea vehicles slowed the pace of the game so the post-Battlefield 1942 games in the Battlefield series have significantly reduced the size of their sea vehicles with Battlefield 2 and Battlefield Renegade Company leaving only one water vehicle landing craft and Battlefield 2042 not having any water vehicles. Most vehicles are allowed to carry more than two occupants and some have occupants who can control special weapons. In theory there are enough vehicles for more than half the players on each map. Vehicles are destroyed and respawned at the stronghold so the battle of the vehicles can continue from the beginning of the game to the end. Battlefield Renegade Force 2 includes a vehicle customisation system that allows players to choose different attachments for their vehicles.

Battlefield 1 recreates the battlefields of World War II with a wide range of land and air vehicles and the most extensive maritime vehicle in the Battlefield series. The game uses DICE's newly developed Refractor 2 engine which had outstanding graphics for its time. The game supports up to 64 players online. The game was an instant hit on release and became one of the most popular online games of its time. The game sold over 3 million copies.

Battlefield 1 (Battlefield 1942) is the first title in the Battlefield series released for PC in 2002 and for Mac in 2004.
