The medic drag while reviving animation. Sick

Its a great addition to gameplay as well, I thought it would feel gimmicky, bit it's super handy, since you revive whilst dragging at the same time, made me wanna revive team mates more tbh

It works so well ingame aswell. Fits BF really well, took them a long time to get it working. They promised that feature in BFV, but never made it in

Just when I think shooters have done it all. We get something just a little extra. The immersion of seeings enemies drag their wounded into cover is so sweet.

The conversation from V's reveal hyped me so much, the fortifications, the server-side physics, the body dragging, the plane crash landing, the attrition system to force teamplay, the return to the origins of the franchise and the supposed focus on authenticity. Then they ended the reveal with that god awful trailer. I don't think I've ever been so hyped and disappointed with a game within a 1 hour timespan.
Still hurts to think about...

Squad also has a dragging mechanic, which is quite useful.
I am curious to see how practical it is in a Battlefield game though, the pace of these games is so different I'll be really surprised if the dragging mechanic is worth using instead of the good old reliable smoke + fast revive combo.
Unless they made the revive animations even slower than V which I'd be surprised if it was the case.

I might've exaggerated, but I genuinely can't recall a single Battlefield game where epic moments are happening constantly

Depends on what you think is epic as well which I think can be quite subjective.
Like for example I always found the beginning of every battlefield match quite epic, seeing everyone rushing the objectives, planes flying by, the explosions and gunfights beginning to tear through the map. No other franchise provides this feeling with such quality imo due to the destruction and excellent sound design.
Then there's BF1 which is in a different category in and of itself, to this day every match where you have the blimp the whole map stops to watch that thing fall off the sky, it's pure spectacle. And to a lesser extent the V1 rockets in Battlefield V.

Farkkkkk I'm resisting hard to not be hyped. I must remember the previous let downs and shit shows of BFV and 2042.
BFV?

Yea but they both became pretty awesome games ultimately, not to excuse their initial launches but still.. I think Dice knows it's now or never and got the memo, the game felt fucking awesome in the pre alpha... I'm stoked beyond wordsFarkkkkk I'm resisting hard to not be hyped. I must remember the previous let downs and shit shows of BFV and 2042.

This turd:
BFV was considered bad?
It had the best movement of any Battlefield and im glad they seem to be pulling some of those systems for this game.
The gunplay was solid and map design was pretty good.
The sound of the V1 will probably be stuck in my head forever.....and the instinct to look up just in case.

V has the best gameplay in the franchise even above BC2 and I'll die on that hill.
It's the rest of the game that's a problem... feels like pure regret...
The art direction from BF1 and the gameplay from V would be a match made in heaven.
More known battles would also have helped as we saw with the positive reception of the Pacific update.

It was at that point, the worst mainline entry. The maps were terrible, lots of technical issues and performance problems, planes were silent flying fortresses of death, terrible infantry/vehicle balance etc.
The movement system was the only redeeming quality. They also kept flip flopping on the gunplay for the first 6 months or however long. Adding in random recoil and other crap in a post launch patch that directly negated all the development press leading up to launch. It became such an issue David Sirland, long time BF veteran, quit the company as newer executives were overriding all his suggestions to not alienate the fanbase.

BF1 art direction and atmosphere are unmatched in any online shooter.
Hell id say it also had the best soundtrack, with each new DLC you got a music that got you in the mood immediately.
You knew you were about to hit the trenches once you booted and heard the music.

Terrible at launch but it got pretty decent. I thought the tank combat was pretty solid. Planes needed some work but that's pretty standard for BF... maps are a little too small for them, the physics are waaaaay too arcadey. But planes are even worse in modern BFs so I'm not expecting much. Just hoping for solid helicopter play.

That's the thing.
It's not about realism, it's about immersion.
BF1 is the opposite of realistic, but when you play the game it oozes dread and shows how fucking awful that war was.
You put a black and white filter over that game and in certain maps it looks exactly like the WW1 pics you see in history books.
And the sound, oh boy, the screams are chilling.
Meanwhile V looks goofy as fuck, almost like a looney tunes game at times.
Very very rarely I felt immersed, super clean maps, all those ridiculous skins, women running around screaming while I'm fighting with the British or Germans.
Never looked like WW2 so it just felt goofy to me unfortunately...
Which is a shame because I genuinely love the gameplay, I still play it from time to time, blasting fools with a MG-42 is pure joy.
One thing I don't enjoy in neither game is the dumb gun optics though. I hate how they have to cater to casuals with that crap.
I guess I'm a bit elitist and purist but only iron sights and sniper scopes are acceptable to me.

Yeah it was the immersion breaking art direction of BFV that put me off ...and it was the start of ridiculous skins and just a far away from the great gameplay of BF2+BF3+BF4 and BF1.
2042 is the peak of the worse in Battlefield. Having operators was laughable, especially that everyone could play the same operator even on different teams. That absolutely killed all atmosphere and immersion. In addition, the maps were barren with big open spaces even with the increased 128 player count. Switching optics and attachments on the fly made no sense and further killed the class system. Even after all the fixes they tried, I personally think the damage was done.
So yeah, I think they have heaps to prove for BF6. While I keep hearing all the positive previews for people that have played the alpha, it just feels like we've been down this road before. I of course hope I'm pleasantly surprised and the open beta demonstrates a great game. We shall find out soon!

Wait, are you assuming it's gonna go live tomorrow?It's happening! Battlefield Labs now says "Play Beta" on mine!

No…I would love that, but not assuming that. This is just the first time I noticed Labs updated to this on the UI. I guess it just kind of started to feel real and exciting that we are super close to a new Battlefield game

Begins by giving a subjective opinion that the trailer did nothing for him, fine. Then proceeds to call everyone who doesn't agree with him a retard.That small clip did nothing for me
No wonder EA and DICE will never go out of business- gamers are retards. Will buy shit in shit out.
Not saying this is shit but a 14 second clip of whatever with limp bizkit got people hard.
Ironically this makes he himself a retard.

If there is one thing I got curious about this trailer is how people are reacting to it: from what I have read many people love it, the vibe, the music, everything... but everyone is afraid it will be just 2042 or that it will become just like CoD with their stupid skins in a couple of months...
Personally:
I want to believe, but this is EA...

I think every fan of the franchise wants to believe, many hopeless dummies are already talking about preordering and hyping it up as if it can't go wrong.
But I think most level-headed fans are excited but wary of it at the same time.
If you think about it we've been burned with BF4, Hardline, BFV and 2042, in the last 10 years only BF1 released in a decent state.
V and 2042 were nearly unplayable at times.
I think it'll be one of those trust but verify type of situations and probably the second to last chance EA has of returning this franchise to form (the last being Bad Company 3, everyone would eat that shit up even if this one sucks)

People are excited for a potentially great BF game and that triggers you lol?

Battlefield has had unpresidential success, a number of people are opposed to what Activision is selling with Call of Dooty.

Yeah this mechanic makes me want them to slow the game down a little. More stakes per life

Does it have the

I played a decent amount of it, maps were pretty good but the fortification building wasn't very good and I really disliked the way planes controlled. The V1 was very intense though, that was incredible.

It looks like they damaged the reputation of bf with bf5 and 2042 so much that they had no choice but to go ham with BF6 or the IP becomes what Halo became. Well, at least i am glad that they were able to set the boat on the right course. With these AAA devs when you begin sinking, almost nobody recovers.

Kinda hype.
Please be good. A real badass battlefield is exactly what this gen is missing.

Looks like BF is back based on leaked gameplay I've seen and the latest trailers. I'm so tempted to preorder as a longtime BF veteran. I think it will be great. I think the threat of EA shutting down DICE really made them get their shit together this time. Sometimes the threat of losing one's job can be a crazy motivator, I wish it didn't have to be this way but at least it's working for DICE in this case.
Seeing Operation Firestorm makes me feel like they are going back to their BF3 roots sprinkled with the destruction of BFBC2. One can only hope. Please do not fuck this up EA, we need a good BF after so long especially now that COD is in the shitter.
