By now the military FPS is a genre in itself in the games industry. These games are played by tens of millions of people and because of that they form a very visible part of the medium. They are games with huge budgets that also advertise new graphical and technological developments within the medium.

Concept art for these types of games features many similarities with the genre of Military Art or Combat Art. The battle scene is one of the oldest types of art in developed civilizations, as rulers have always been keen to celebrate their victories and intimidate potential opponents. The aesthetic of Battlefield's concept art has a lot in common with this type of art. The twist of course is that these Battlefield 4 concepts depict the virtual battles of millions of gamers that at the moment of making them would not be fought for years. A look to the future instead of a retrospective.
