Remake Battlefield 4 in Frostbite. That's the fucking game.

 

[TommyCronin6969]

Imagine still thinking these cunts can deliver

 

[MiguelItUp]

Man, please don't mess this up.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

3939 Q, wait time 1hr+...

Hopefully it'll be worth it, whatever this is.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Imagine still thinking these cunts can deliver

Seems like a lot of people in queue at least hoping they can deliver

 

[Wooxsvan]

last chance. campaign is back. im watching...

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Yeah four studios across the globe and none of them knows how to develop a good BF game.

 

[kutthoat5150]

Go to the very end of that video ^ for the sneak peak. I will say the destruction teases look promising

 

[MiguelItUp]

For real, 5700+ people in front of me wanting to sign up too, lmao.

No expectations here. I just want one of my favorite IPs to come back and hit like it used to, if not more so. I'd be more than happy to give them another chance. I've loved it since 1942, so the amount of good times I've had out weigh the bad ones ten fold.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Remake Battlefield 4 in Frostbite. That's the fucking game.

 

[That Damn Kid]

Not preordering, but destruction looks good.

 

[HRK69]

Imagine them nailing that BF feeling again

 

[splattered]

Looks promising i hope its good! I used to love playing battlefield along with COD and Unreal Tournament back in the day for variety... hope they can bring this franchise back from the dead. I think they will succeed...

 

[NeonGhost]

Hopefully they remove the stupid operators and just bring back military classes

 

[mitch1971]

Give me a map editor, then we'll talk.

(who am I kidding)

 

[mitch1971]

Operators are out, classes in.

 

[NeonGhost]

Operators are out, classes in.

For real? can’t watch the video if so that’s some great news

 

[Luipadre]

Hnnng that gameplay snippet. Looked like modern BF3. Please be good

 

[Bond007]

Damn that looks impressive.
I trust in Vince.

[Fake]

WTF is this?

'We don't have imagination or talent to inovate, but we are paid anyway, shape your game for free to help us profit'.

Why not just use the old ones?

 

[Edder1]

People gonna fall for EA marketing fluff again, aren't they?

 

[ResilientBanana]

Remake Battlefield 4 in Frostbite. That's the fucking game.

Its in frostbite.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Battlefield is dead.

RIP Battlefield.

 

[Superposition]

Everything looks and feels BF3/BF4. I'm surprised, honestly.

 

[Audiophile]

I have my doubts that any talent is emerging.

 

[Imtjnotu]

i see building destruction is back....its about damn time

 

[Fake]

People gonna fall for EA marketing fluff again, aren't they?

I not. Again, calling for 'fans' to shape their future, aka, make money for us for free, is kinda blafing.

And I remember their previous BF doing the same with trailers.

 

[HogIsland]

Its in frostbite.

you got me. look just make it look good ok?

Another thing: domination always sucked as a mode. there should be maps designed around offensive/defensive objectives like Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. Winning should be an exciting, decisive event in the game, not just a game of whack-a-mole. Battlefield has all the best tools to pull it off.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Remake Battlefield 4 in Frostbite. That's the fucking game.

It still is. No need for a remake.

 

[R6Rider]

That teaser looking fucking great actually.

 

[David Ricardo]

In the trailer you can´t see the appearance of the characters. I guess they did this because if the characters are woke, players won´t be happy. If the characters aren´t woke, the devs won´t be happy. So seeing they couldn´t make everybody happy, they just decided not showing them

 

[DAHGAMING]

6 seconds and im out "defending that last point in breakthrough" .

No cunt Battlefield is Conquest maybe Rush as a side mode if done right, but dont be coming at me with these new age modes right away like that.

 

[R6Rider]

Battlefield is dead.

RIP Battlefield.

LOL far from it.

 

[Luipadre]

That teaser footage with the music gave me chills. Please dont screw this up

Breakthrough > Conquest

I prefer the more focused flow of the matches.

What's more important is the presence of hardcore servers.

No HC = no buy.

I prefer Conquest myself, but it's largely map dependent.

They need to have both and also yes include Hardcore for those who enjoy that too.

Also, they don't need to do 128 matches again, but they should at least bump it up from 64. I think 80 would be great without needing to make maps larger than "64 player" sizes.
That being said, if keeping the player count at 64 means better destruction and environmental effects, then that would be okay.

 

[GoldenEye98]

Gameplay footage looks good imo...

Highly detailed environments that is modern combat that is more akin to BF3/BF4.

2042's main problem was empty maps and a bland futuristic theme....

 

[DenchDeckard]

You fucjing better turn this around Dice! Absolute last chance after that last abomination.

 

[Saber]

Got say the clip of alpha looks interesting.
But this whole "help shape the future of BF" smells like bullshit to me.

 

[Parazels]

Battlefield Bad Company 1 & 2 at 4k@60.

I don't even ask for remakes!

My problem with conquest is that the "frontline" is completely random and scattershot.

With breakthrough there is clear frontline and the action is much more intense because of it...

 

[SlimySnake]

Looks amazing. Massive destruction a la Bad Company 2 is back and Im all for it.

Labs is a great initiative. I remember Destiny launching with not one but two betas literally 5 months before launch. Having a beta a week before launch makes no sense. Especially nowadays when there is so many more systems to tune before launch.

Having other SP focused studios work on the SP campaign is also a good common sense move. Zampella making all the right decisions here. Of course, that doesnt mean it will pay off but all this stuff sounds good on paper.

 

[XXL]

Vince Zampella being in charge of this gives me a bit of faith.

 

[mansoor1980]

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

LOL far from it.

I have already announced it's demise.

I do not shovel dirt on GAAS games with any sense of joy.

This franchise is dead and there's no bringing it back.

Have you played the Frontlines mode before? Curious if you prefer that to Breakthrough or not.

Frontlines usually had the problem of the push going back and forth the entire match.

BC2 had the right idea with maps designed around Conquest while others were designed around Rush. More recent titles try to shove all the modes on all the maps when clearly some work better than others.
