- 2004 February, Anthony Holden, “Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising”, in PC Zone, number 138, page 92:
  Loyal Battlefielders may be reeling in horror at such shameless coattail-riding, but bear with us, as there are some interesting twists on the formula here, some of which aren’t half bad.
- 2005 September, Samit G. Choudhuri, Chris Trumble, “Battlefield 2”, in Computer Power User, volume 5, number 9, page 89:
  There’s a single game mode: Conquest. Having a single gaming mode is in no way limiting; your team focuses on securing the control/spawn points on a map while taking down the enemy team. Conceptually it’s not tough to understand, so novice Battlefielders will have no problems jumping into the fray.
- 2015, Edwin Evans-Thirlwell, “Battlefield Hardline – Robbery”, in Official Xbox Magazine, page 78:
  It often feels very exposed – there are so many elevations to worry about, both aboard the ship and on the dock itself. But practised Battlefielders should find playing it, and the rest of Robbery, to be a total hoot.

- 1991 November 3, Todd Allan Yasui, “Limelight”, in The Washington Post, page g03:
  But the Battlefielders weren’t always so different. The path to international tours and critical acclaim started in a small town outside Glasgow with a story that sounds familiar.
- 1999 October 26, Ron Rollins, “Review; Celtic Battlefield Band Leads Victoria Crowd to Fine Old Time”, in Dayton Daily News, page 3C:
  The Battlefielders are good on droll humor, are big on audience involvement and had no trouble getting the sold-out Victoria singing and clapping along just in time to remind everyone that if there was a good pub anywhere about, they’d sure like to know about it for after the show.
- 2011 October 25, John P. McLaughlin, “Battlefield plays on; Scots band’s piped in 22 members in 42 years”, in The Province, page B.2:
  That said, three of the four current Battlefielders weren’t even born in 1969. The last of the original members, Alan Reid, finally packed it in last year when he turned 60 and decided 40 years of touring was quite enough, thank you
