Regarde Aduck posted:making the game about an actual plausible catastrophe that's probably going to happen to us for real in our lifetimes is weird. I mean, they made hardline about the over-militarization of the police in the US so they’ve done it before.

Good news they’ve already released the lore and back story for the game and you can even read the specialists bios https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/game-overview/specialists/webster-mackay These names and backstories are causing me pain.

Bohemian Nights posted:My hot take as someone who has played thousands of hours of battlefield since codename eagle: Same. I still read BFV as Battlefield: Vietnam  I think it's a good sign they're using elements from 2142 because it means they recognize it as a good Battlefield and it was. I think it was honestly the best playing Battlefield since 1942. It really refined all the goodness of BF2. SpartanIvy fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Jun 9, 2021 |

This looks like a day one purchase for sure.V for Vegans posted:I mean, they made hardline about the over-militarization of the police in the US so they’ve done it before. Through a lens of Verhoevenian satire, Hardline is actually pretty good. Honestly it was a pretty good feeling Battlefield mechanically too imo.

I’m going to do some wild speculation but with a name like “Hazard Zone” and it being “squad based” that suggests to my Gamer Instincts some kind of quasi-survival situation with an ever-present environmental threat, not a closing ring like BR games but just something which constantly drains a specific resource, and mildly limited other things like ammo and health. 2-4 squads will have to complete some random objective in the middle-ish of a map, they won’t necessarily have the exact same one in the exact same place, and then leave. With bots apparently being in the main multiplayer there may be some around to make you shoot them so you make noise and alert other players. You don’t technically have to shoot other squads but, come on, you’re going to. Basically something along the lines of Survival mode in Division 1, Tarkov, or Hunt Showdown. More points for time taken, players alive, players killed, etc.Al-Saqr posted:Who the gently caress plays battlefield for the campaign I would if it was, you know, good. Mindlessly blasting through a series of scripted explosions can be fun. There have been good parts of BF campaigns - the tank levels in BF3 (until the level where you have to die) come to mind - and Bad Company 2 rockets along on the strength of its comedy and sound design but otherwise yeah.

Interesting reveal for sure, looks like it's going to be a fun game. I really hope they don't go too overboard with the cosmetics though and keep them military styled. Kinda would suck to have a neon pink dude on the battlefield. Game modes seem a bit lacking though with only 3? Guess they are removing the classics like rush, or maybe that secretive 3rd mode which they said older players will love will be something like that?

Time to preorder for Beta and then cancel it immediately after the Beta is over

Nonsense, the cybertrukk only has what, 20 polygons? The battlefield model has at least 20,000 polygons.

quote:As for snipers, who might dominate on 2042’s very large maps, DICE has a solution. You can call in a vehicle to deal with them directly — meaning, you can spawn a vehicle to land on a far-off sniper, crushing them. https://www.polygon.com/22525821/battlefield-2042-release-date-announcement-gameplay Working hard! Thank you!

Cardboard Fox posted:https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-06-09-battlefield-2042-will-have-no-campaign-and-no-battle-royale-mode That's what I'm thinking. Apex had a fantastic launch, languished for a bit, then had a huge resurgence in the past year. They probably don't want to dent their own growth trajectory with a similar product. Trailer looked fun. I'm curious about the robit dog.

I'm wondering what this "love letter to long time fans" game mode is supposed to be. I mean, conquest is in, what else would tickle our fancies? I mean I guess Rush is kinda old school at this point but that's not really worth teasing as a secret mode in development is it?

humpthewind posted:I'm going to be very very sad if Rush is no longer around :/ It sounds like the main game mode is a combo of conquest and other game types, I wouldn’t be surprised if they implemented some type of rush component to that mode and then had it has its own side game mode as well.

It looks good, I am glad we're upping the player count, I am liking that more games are doing 50v50 so 64v64 with huge maps is something I am looking forward to. Hopefully they pull it off, but seems like they know what made BF4 good.

i really loved the weird reload animations they had to research for BF1 so I hope they have a bunch of almost-improvised weapons similar to the Metro series for me to gawk at while i get sniped by 64 other players at once

Game ships with 10 classes/specialists and plans for more as DLC. Are they masochists when it comes to gameplay balance? That sounds insane unless it’s just lazy “these two supports are identical except one has health kits and the other has ammo.”

Does... Battlefield still use the Battlelog system? Or is that a relic of the past?

I think i'm dumb because I thought the previous BF games were already 64 vs 64? Otherwise it was 32x32, which means mofos just doubled up.

I am unreasonably hyped by that trailer for a series that hasn't had a good game in 4 installments. BF4 still owns and is free with twitch prime btw if you want to HOP IN
