'Battlefield V' news: Game reported to include co-op mode

World War II buffs and "Battlefield" players better get their band of brothers ready, as the supposed World War II game will have a cooperation (co-op) mode that lets a pair or group of people play the first-person shooter (FPS).

The rumored "Battlefield V," which is speculated to be set in World War II, will reportedly allow for squads of players to compete in randomly created Conquest missions. This will open up the game for a world of possibilities in which players can enlist their friends or some strangers' help in completing a mission for the game.

Other sources for said rumor also mention that DICE, the developer of the upcoming game, might also expand the scope of the co-op mode from just Conquest to other types of missions. Apparently, there are also speculations that a full co-op campaign mode might also become available once the game gets released since DICE has done this before with their past "Battlefield" titles.

At this point though, things should best be taken with a grain of salt, as the developer or the publisher of the upcoming game has yet to release an official detail about it. For all players know, the name of the sequel might even change and might not be "Battlefield V" at all. The only way to know what the game will have is to wait for announcements from DICE or the game's publisher, Electronic Arts (EA).

As for the single-player aspect of the game, which is the campaign, two rumors are actually contradicting each other in which the first one claims that the game will focus on the German or Nazi side of World War II while the second claims that "Battlefield V" will have an episodic campaign mission structure like its predecessor "Battlefield 1," which was set during World War I. 

Whatever the truth may be, the possibility that the developer shaped "Battlefield V" with World War II in mind is not that remote, what with the recent surge in the popularity of the time period again as demonstrated by the success of "Call of Duty: WW2" released late last year.
