The dispatching minigame in Dispatch is good enough to be a standalone game

The Superhero Dispatch Network receives a variety of calls, ranging from mundane issues like cats in trees to intense situations such as hostage negotiations and supernatural activity. The game "Dispatch," created by former Telltale employees, features interactive storytelling with choices that affect the narrative, including character selection and team management.

Battlefield had a messy predecessor, Codename Eagle, that predates even DICE’s involvement in the series

Criterion has transitioned from a leading British racing studio to a support role in the Battlefield franchise. Motive, formed from BioWare Montreal, faced challenges leading to the cancellation of a series after six years. Ridgeline Games, led by Marcus Lehto, was created to enhance Battlefield's single-player experience but was closed before delivering any content. Ripple Effect, previously DICE LA, has a history linked to Danger Close and DreamWorks Interactive, which contributed to Medal of Honor. Codename Eagle featured an unconventional multiplayer focus and an ambitious design that confused players. DICE's shift away from campaign development for Battlefield 1942 initiated a complex relationship with single-player content that continues today.
