Everyone loves a good redemption story. Big expectations, hoping it works out for em.


Hopefully it's not the leaked trailer either for an extra surprise!

Slick looking ui , fingers crossed they deliver.
I need a great BF game back in my life.
BF4 is solid still but after over 1k hours played going back feels a bit dated but worse than all the PC servers have plenty of hackers.

4 man squads?

christ no...no single player nonsense and no damn BR mode. That ship has sailed.
Just focus on delivering a MP experience as good as BF2 and BC2.

I was watching it too, as were more than a quarter million others. I had expected some kind of pre-show hype, but annoyingly it was nothing more than a separate stream for the countdown alone.

Like they have to know people don't like these, everyone always expects the steam to start properly or as said with a little bit of a pre roll / show. They'd have build some buffer into it to allow to fix any issues but another full hour.

Battlefield isn't starting this from a strong position. Continuing from BFV, the initial reveal, the 50% discount 2 weeks into the game to really piss off anyone who paid full price, each patch seemed to break it in a new way messing with the balance, and then they drop support after starting to get it right.

There's not much difference from a hype train or a big ol negative dog pile, could they not think a bit and try to push it in their favour.

I'm hopeful that this turns out to be good. played some bf4 over the weekend for the first time in about 2 years, I was surprised at the high TTK, it was much longer than I remembered, having spent the last few years playing CoD.
The WW1 and WW2 settings of recent games just didnt do it for me, so at the very least I'm happy to get back to modern / near future timelines.

- Release October 15

- 7 vast maps for up to 128 players

" Battlefield 2042 introduces 7 vast maps for up to 128* players. From Seoul’s cities to Egypt’s deserts, every map offers a unique experience based on the natural environment. "

"Customize weapons, gadgets and vehicles in-battle to tip the scales in your favor. Summon a robotic dog built for battle, employ a grappling hook or don your very own wingsuit. Choose your role on the battlefield and form hand-tailored squads through the new Specialist system. Based on Battlefield’s four Classes, Specialists have one unique Specialty and Trait – but the rest of the loadout is fully customizable."

Perks:

Open Beta early access, Baku ACB-90 melee takedown knife, “Mr. Chompy” Epic Weapon Charm, "Landfall" Player Card Background, "Old Guard" Tag
4 New Specialists (1 per Season of the Year 1 Pass), 4 Battle Passes (1 per Season of the Year 1 Pass), 3 Epic Skin Bundles (”Blistered Earth”, ”Tempest”, and ”Cold Blood”)
"Shadow Stalker" Legendary Outfit, "Obsidian" Legendary Weapon Skin, "Onyx" Legendary Vehicle Skin"
Official Digital Artbook and Exclusive Digital Soundtrack

Specialists= 128 man sniper fest :(:(:(

I'm really looking forward to cross-platform so I can play with my mates. But if they don't sort out the PC hacking that is currently ruining BFV this will be a disastrous own-goal for the series.

Meh. Robot dog is a stupid idea.

TTK in new COD games is why i dont play them, hate it.
As for the reveal, nothing surprising at all, means nothing until we see proper gameplay then get to play it.

No single player - praise the Lord!!!

It seems to be a return to the old style of trailer at least, and nothing like the BFV trailer and it's overstuffed attempt to show case all it's new features in a misleading muddle. There's some dark humour in the form of the lads trying to escape in the taxi, and the callback to the Rendezooking of an enemy plane. I wonder if that's an attempt to appeal to past players from before BFV?

Ardent

Tornadoes and wing-suits? Hmmmm.

That was absolutely ridiculous. Terrible actually.

I could appreciate the reference it made, but it was still jarringly out of place.

When you're as old as me and think...hey Battlefield 2142 prequel!

Not a great trailer that seemed all over the place, especially given the epic behemots of the past. The way characters were running around like ants nearly melee fighting all the time didn't look too great, graphically parts of it seemed to lack too. Definitely will need to see gameplay to get a better feel for it.

Main thing is that visibility and gunplay is improved since the last one. Would love the strong atmosphere of BF1 with the map design, gameplay of BF3/4 and the quirkiness and creative modes like Titan of 2142.

yeah, silly thing to include, surprised they didnt show fellas putting a load of c4 and ammo boxes under a tank to launch it to the far side of the map.



also - why are 50 lads on a roof fighting a CQB, and why is there a quadbike on the roof also?

I'm still optimistic, gameplay reveal next week will tell a lot.

They're doing it just cause someone else did.
