Sage and Sammy discuss the latest leaks, Warzone comparisons, whether it should reclaim the Firestorm name, and how destruction, map scale, and loot choices could set it apart. They also debate the big picture: can a BR boost Battlefield without cannibalizing the core game, and what happens if it’s a smash hit?

Highlights:
• Leaks recap and first impressions
• Warzone similarities vs Battlefield identity
• Firestorm lessons: paid access, player base, longevity
• Destruction, map size, and on-ground loot choices
• Free-to-play funnel vs focus drift from All-Out Warfare
• Monetization, live service support, and yearly release rumors
• Studio capacity and why “Battlefield ≠ annual COD”
