Was it just a trailer? no Gameplay?

A teaser of sorts. You get an idea of where teh battles are going to take place. The kind of locales we'll see, what kind of battles we'll see etc.

I'm all for the setting. The geography is up my alley. Very BF3/4 looking maps. Back to modern warfare. I'm all for this.

Screenshots actually made it look good, in-engine cinematic not so much.
Fucking pointy haired boss & marketing demanded something meme'able, so except soulless influencers trying to get GIFs of certain scenes to trend.

 

[CuNi]

DICE's engines were always insane.

On topic: where's the damn mechs?!

Mechs? You must be confusing this with Battlefield 2142.

 

[supernova8]

Torn between two feelings. I guess it kinda looked good but it also seemed a bit over the top. Especially the jumping out of the jet and firing a bazooka thing, that sort of stuff is funny/fun because it's the sort of thing players came up with organically, it's not cool if the game creators put it in themselves.

Also looking at how many different character models there were on screen (with almost no consistency at all), I think they are going to be selling cosmetic stuff hard (gotta get that microtransaction money).

I'll reserve full judgement til we see actual gameplay on June 13th, but for now I give it a "hmmm".

Yeah but if you're gonna tease with a name like 2042 I at least want mech suits.

 

[CitizenZ]

Everyone is so hung up on graphics when we all know it'll look good... It's DICE...

Changes to the gameplay are the most important thing to check out and hear more about.

Do you know where you are?

 

[ZywyPL]

Fount it:




Meh, just some in-game bits here and there, thankfully the proper gameplay reveal will take place in just 4 days. But honestly, at times it looked more like CoD than BF, underwhelming, cross-gen...

 

[INC]

BF4.5

If feel you. When I saw the name, the Mechs and the Carriers instantly came to my mind. I was kinda sad, they knew what they did with that name damn well.

Dice figured out big map warfare, you’re an idiot if you don’t buy this game.

EA got an event on Sunday? If not then it's gonna be at the Microsoft conference.

Westie has a video up with some details.

Kinda Funny also has a video up

I'll suss it out but I assume it is just a press/influencer pack they were all given.

Listening to it in the background

I missed these classic E3 bullshots.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Remember me @ S0ULZB0URNE ?
Do you still think you can judge the graphical aspect of a game on leaked 240p pre-alpha screenshot? Or as I said, you should wait for... you know... the actual reveal ?

Did you actually read what you quoted?

 

[BigTnaples]

Just watched the trailer at 4K 25% speed. Highly recommend. Game is a stunner while also being noticeably hardware limited/cross gen, if that makes sense.


Looks much better than I expected, but still, I know it will look even better later current gen only.

I missed these classic E3 bullshots.

Yeah remember these?

/s
Dice have always been masters of their craft. People eat crow every time they deny these games look stunning in realtime when the first trailers release.

2142 > 2042?

 

[Virt McPolygon]

2142 > 2042?

We got robot dogs instead. Wonder if they're remote-controlled or you can issue commands and AI does the rest

 

[QuantumZebra]

2142 > 2042?

In terms of awesomeness, yes, because mechs.

At least give us District 9 type robo-suits. Not the crazy wall jump shit from CoD, though.

 

[Kerlurk]

nvm

I'm good thanks, will play Warzone and Halo multiplayer for free. Multiplayer only game with 7 maps is not worth more than $20 to me.
