Nope. I am super happy with everything I saw. I do hope they add(or reveal) a bit more future/near future tech than what we saw through.

Just popping in to say that I saw the trailer on FB and as someone who loved 2142 second only to 1942, it made me hella excited.

That fighter jet scene was just pure distilled Battlefield. :discourse:

I think they might have learned a few lessons. I know someone said they are sick of aks and little birds but that stuff/setting makes for a good shootermans game. I'm pretty happy with what they've shown.

It's been a while since I visited the GPU thread but unless there has been some miracle in the global supply and the price/performance of mid range GPUs has increased dramatically in the last 6-12 montha I think I've got to give this one a miss.

It runs (to some extent) on the PS4/Xbone so I'm guessing you can turn the graphics settings real low.

Did not watch the trailer but read a few summaries. The specialists rather than classes concerns me, specifically if you can't have multiple of the same in a squad - but I think it could also be unique so I'm open minded on it. The battle pass sounds horrible. Other than that, pretty interested still, looking forward to seeing some gameplay.

making the game about an actual plausible catastrophe that's probably going to happen to us for real in our lifetimes is weird.

But I guess that's most war games for people who live in certain parts of the world.

Watching Sony and game devs pretend there's not a giant problem with no currently known resolution date is grimly amusing

Yeah, the "classless" stuff with free loadout choices give me a little bit of concern. One thing that I found dragged down BFV a bunch was that AT-launchers were part of the most common/versatile class, which in turn meant that vehicles had to play extremely defensively. I hope that there'll be enough of a trade-off to make sure that everybody isn't just rolling with an RPG by default.

There were rumors/leaks early on that the RPG was a primary weapon now. So yeah you can roll with an RPG but you've only got a pistol and your gadgets though take this with a grain of salt since it's not confirmed at all

Yoooo that trailer was sick.

Hovercrafts, squirrel suits, jihad jeep, jet RPG, and that 3-wheeled buggy car thing trying to run away from a tornado!

I got so sick of WW battlefields and thought 3 and 4 were a ton of fun. I can’t wait for this one. I might actually try to find a PS5 now.

I feel like the only positive thing to ever come out of the Battlefield campaigns was BF3's jet level. I've like never heard anything about BF1 and BFV so I can only assume they were pretty whatever.

I just checked my local stores website and holy poo poo, you're not wrong.

A vanilla 2060 is still $980. My budget is like 500-600 and I was hoping to geta 3070 or similar

So depressing. (Re prices:I'm in Australia)

I get it in a way; I like the mundane scripted walkthrough of a SP shooter from time to time. Only COD I haven’t bought for PC was the one that didn’t have SP.

But Battlefield is absolutely not a game that should focus on SP. BF1 was decent enough but it’s not the reason I have 800 hours into that game or whatever it is.

Campaigns are useful to cobble together cool looking trailers but they clearly don’t need that help as things stand.
