Yeah seeing that in the video, weird that multiple people have said it's a full health revive. Wondering if its in the script that DICE provided and they don't even know what's in their own game or if the build shown is outdated (it is)

Probably just bad assumptions or them missing it in the rush to get their videos out. The fact that Falk's passive is "revive with full health" means that it is highly unlikely that Angel will also do it (unless they have also changed Falk's passive)
Westie was moaning about the very existence of the armour plate as a gadget a few days ago, but says it is "cool" that Angel gives out armour.

Is this really necessary though? Do all these characters even need a background? Was anybody concerned about this gender information? I mean, it’s great that it’s being acknowledged and embraced in such a massive production but, is it really relevant in a game where you’re killing people?

They did. They shut down a 1942 mod that was nifty, and then released a pretty bad ripoff of it.

In my military war shooter, it's absolutely essential I know whether the soldier has a penis or a vagina, what gender they identify as, and which genders they prefer to insert or be inserted by their penises or vaginas.

I'm keeping my pre-order. I just can't stand fence-sitting on a game I know I'm going to play anyway. I have mixed feelings and some criticisms about BF2042 but I still feel like it has the potential to be a good game at some point, even if it's not quite there on launch day. And because there's been such a wide range of divisive opinions on the beta (some I agree with others I don't), I don't feel like I can rely on the broader internet consensus or even this thread to get an idea about the state of the game and if I'll enjoy it or not. This is a game I just have to play myself on day 1 to know how I feel about it. It's quite possible that I'll get burned and this game will truly be bad, and it never gets better. Jokes on me then I guess.

  • "Show Map" key and Commrose will be present at launch, though Map key might not make it into Early Access start due to performance issues.

am i understanding correctly here that opening the map will not be implemented by the time the game launches for people who preordered, for performance reasons?

At least in 4 I can get away in a stealth jet. It feels like in 1 that an attack plane can shoot down a fighter if they're at least as good as you, while in 4 the attack jets couldn't TOUCH you
