Looks good but it's just 15 seconds of cut up gameplay, won't bother having hope until we see full gameplay.

From first glance, that 10-15 seconds of "pre-alpha footage" looked like Battlefield 3 or 4 to me. If Battlefield is going back to modern times, that would be a good first step.

I remain unconvinced about this until we actually get raw gameplay.

title alone doesn't convince me, and battlefield always looked good - the devil is in the details.

labs either means mess of modes and settings to see what sticks, or possibly letting the community "vote" or some shit which is always a disaster. remember the turbo cringe "game changers"?

modern times is fucking boring by now tho. I can still play 3/4 or delta force if I want that.

either give me cold war gone hot or outright alternate history and go all out. BF1' biggest sin was never giving us a war of the worlds dlc.

played some BF2042 today, im honestly starting to believe while EA being a bunch of greedy retards is a major factor in the series general downfall the main factor is actually the Community, like its been an issue since like BF4 but a bunch of CoD Kids have been flooding into other games and play like its CoD making the entire match unfun for whoever they face, too many kids under the age of 20 have this tryhard mentality as to where they take every game, even matches that are unranked like its a CoD match, it really does piss me off

What do you mean "play like CoD?" Not play the objective? Use overpowered weapons? Exploit the movement?

That and the general mentality of a lot of streamers, younger gen z and Gen alpha, they all seem to be sold on the idea that video games are more about winning then fun and doing shit like exploiting the movement is how normal people play, most people are just trying to have fun and it gets ruined by this imo, imo CoD seems to have been the ground zero for this but it has also affected battlefield and other online PvP games

didn't notice anything like that in delta force (warfare at least). there isn't much to tryhard, and since the map design isn't liquid dogshit most of the time you got somewhat solid fronts where that kind of behavior will be used to farm kills of said retards.
same thing with bf1 operations.

nu-battlefield has shit design, especially in the details, there isn't much thought put in by the DEI hires to curb that because that would mean they'd have to play and enjoy the game.

I just want a Battlefield Vietnam 2.

-Good faction variety (US, ARVN, Australians, South Koreans, NVA, Vietcong, Soviet advisors)
-Vehicle variety (helicopters, tanks, jets, patrol boats)
-Map variety (jungle, urban, underground, military bases)
-Weapon variety (everything from cutting edge US weaponry to French stuff from the 50's to WW2 surplus Soviet and Chinese weaponry, flamethrowers, Vietcong booby traps)
-Banging soundtrack

Could also have female VC as a customisation option and US troops came in all races so all the forced shit in BFV wouldn't be an issue

Try rising storm Vietnam 2, it's old but still has 1-2 active servers that are full and it's fun and strikes a better balance between realism and fun than squad.

New battlefield play test is happening. Some gameplay and UI shots coming out. From Reddit.Personally I'm looking forward to it. V had really good mechanics it's just the wokey shit killed it. The last Pacific update was really good. Shame. 2042 sucked all around though so. They downgraded so many mechanics from V. Vehicles in V felt like semi warthunder tierui2.jpg

Some details. Any word on how the classes work? The types of characters?
Click to expand...
From your menu screen pic it appears to have Assault/Engineer/Support/Recon like BF3/BF4, haven't seen anything on charcters yet but there's been more gameplay footage uploaded as well as the victory screen, in it all the characters are classic military and not any sort of characters so hopefully they'll either be entirely back to not having characters or there will be picks for milsim:

Good chunk of gameplay instead of a short snippet:

DICE has progressed so much that the relearned how to introduce scoreboards to a game on launch :biggrin:

I just don't understand how from 5 they went to 2042 and got rid of fucking every feature they added to make the game better. Vehicles went back to feeling one dimensional, fortification system ditched instead of improved, it went back to marker spam. I really liked in 5 that only certain things marked you. It enabled stealth play against vehicles in the tall grasses and such. All the towable gun stuff was cut too. Destruction is worse. General game feel was way worse. Felt like a Chinese f2p game. 5 got shit for the women characters but the actual gameplay was much improved. If vehicles are like 2042 again I'm gonna be pissed. 5 added so much depth to them.

Not just that, but it was also a graphical and atmospheric downgrade. BF1 and BF5 both had good atmospheres but 2042 felt soulless and plastic to look at.
