It would be awesome if they could pull it off.
I recommend it so much I want to preface this with the fact I am basically an upaid shill for this game, but I think it is awesome that it is genuinely free (not lootbox, microtransaction free, genuinely free).

Operation Harsh Doorstop is meant to be a spiritual successor to mods like Project Reality and Forgotten Hope 2 for Battlefield 2, the last game that EA allowed to have modding in it.
I don’t care what EA does now with trying to innovate the battlefield genre, they killed it so I am uninterested in EA-Frankenstein’s Monster here.
No, I will shill for Operation Harsh Doorstop because even if you don’t like the vanilla big map, semi-realistic vehicle team based FPS mechanics of OHD, the game is moddable and already has different mods that totally switch up the gameplay, including a star wars mod, a halo mod and others.
If you don’t pick OHD, maybe try out Easy Red 2 which is only WW2 but very cool and has tons and tons of vehicles and period accurate battles that are really well done.

Seriously, forget EA, forget AAA big map FPS team based games, AAA studios don’t give a shit about them and will always try to give you almost what you want but then funnel you back into a COD style lootbox grindfest that has nothing to do with the fascinating depth of combined arms gameplay.
Maybe check out Splitgate 2?
I don’t know, feel free to suggest other indie shooters here, but yeah… eew EA and battlefield are dead to me.
