So adding sliding, rolling, and paradrop spawning is a "new direction" for the series? Seems like more of the same TBH.
Also, while I find it totally believable that the game will only be on next-gen consoles, I find it kind of silly that he reports the team "struggling" to implement destructible environments when this is something that Battlefield has been doing for years on current-gen consoles.
Overall, seems like minor details in the grand scheme of things. If this is the big leak of per-announcement information then it looks like we're in for basically another MW2 derivative.
