They've explicitly called out that 1942 content is in, all remade with polycounts above 10 and destruction and stuff.

Personally, I'm curious to see what we'll see in post-release updates? 2042 Titans? That one village map from that F2P cartoon game? BF1 stuff to compliment the 1942 stuff? There's a lot of toys for them to drop in the toolbox.

It occurs to me that Dice has essentially made a perpetual Battlefield game in that they could just keep updating 2042.

...and then to keep file sizes down and add FOMO they'll cycle out specific Battlefields each year ala Destiny. :sigh:

Don't forget the holy grail of old Battlefield content they could add; 2142. Now that'd be loving sick.

Still, love that trailer. Even hearing the Bad Company 2 voice acting was enough to get my amped.

1942 had a small scale remake in Frostbite with BF1943 (which wasn’t released on PC) so I suspect that’s why 1942 as it were is in this at all.

Theyve confirmed that there will be a tech test soon thats invite only, followed by a beta before release. BF betas are usually really easy to get into even if they arent fully open.

1943 was Pacific only IIRC so there was obviously at least some work done given they showed Germans in the trailer

They'll probably swipe a bunch of BFV assets honestly

some extra details in this. Jack has the full weapons/gadgets list for the portal factions

he also mentions that theres an open beta in Sept so thats something to look forward to

You can change stuff about TTK and movement to get that classic BC2 feel with no prone

edi* damnit, if Jack's list at 2:00 is correct, then there's no Carl Gustav in the portal :(

I wonder what the endgame is with this, though.

Like with Battlefield Portal this seems to be...

THE Battlefield experience. Like, with that thing, do you even need another battlefield anymore?

It seems really awkward to just... have a sequel afterwards eventually, unless it's a serious tech improvement anyway.

Before that? Diablo 3.

I'm not nearly as big into BF as most of you ITT seem to be, I've put maybe 100 hours combined into 5 different games in the series, but lately I've just been itching for a good FPS to play that isn't COD so this is basically it. And I do have fond memories of clowning around in BC2 with my buddies.

don't see why there won't eventually be a battlefield 7 with a bunch new maps and guns and a new battlepass that will also feed into the portal on top of everything else

Exactly, I imagine that's deliberate. GaaS (Game as a Service) here we come....

Look how long Ubisoft has managed to string out Rainbow Six Siege? Don't you think EA are looking at that and rubbing their wallets?

like, look at warzone and how it has spanned two mainline CoD games (in a totally nightmarish way, but still)

Have any of the updates today even mentioned you'll be able to carry the guns out of Portal? Vehicles are obviously no (though maybe they'd allow at least cosmetic switches into the BF3 or BC2 equivalents, and I would be really surprised if there wasn't any legacy cosmetics for the specialists where appropriate)

I just want to carry the Ping into the future.

I mean it did but Warzone is like... a standalone thing right? (I don't really know much about Warzone)

Is Portal? It sounded like it's a part of BF2042, what with giving you exp and unlocks for the "main" BF2024 and all.

Sort of. Things are added it to concurrent with the mainline cod games. Weapons and such.

It also shares a season pass with normal, not free to play multiplayer, which adds some guns for free and a ton of cosmetics for 10 bucks a season. Dollars to donuts, this will be the model bf6 follows.

The worst part about the way that Warzone does it is that you can't do custom loadouts with new guns if you don't buy the whole drat new game. Of course, the meta guns are all the new ones, so if you bought MW2019 but not Cold War, Actiblizz says you can get hosed.

This looks absolutely dope. I think Jack may be a bit wrong on the WW2 factions though. I think Brits, krauts, AND Americans because there definitely dudes with US pattern helmets and also dudes with doughboy helmets in the trailer.

I don’t think that’s correct. When CW came out you could unlock most of the games just through leveling. Then some guns were available via the battle pass but you didn’t have to buy the pass to get the gun. There are a few guns, including guns you missed in the battle passes that have absurd requirements that are presumably easy to get in base CW. That said I largely stopped playing when CW was released so I don’t know all the ins and outs, but MW, CW and WZ all have their own loadouts menus now. If you’ve unlocked the gun, period, you can use it in Warzone.

Like the fact that it specifically mentions being able to turn off sprint-strafing means they were taking in some loving deep-dive feedback. I remember it being a contentious issue between the CoD and Battlefield dullards.
