Nope! This is not what I want in my Battlefield game. How do they keep messing it up every year? What not just listen to what the community want, like once.

You are not giving a reason why you dont want this.

These are the classes that exist in every battlefield game since forever.

Healing from a distance? Pre determined characters instead of classes?

Many more things but if this is what people want, fine.
 
Wait is this just classes? Or is it a hero shooter now? I don't mind classes they have always been there i just don't want to play as a "character"
 
If I remember correctly named characters have existed in BF before. They are just a skin and don't impact gameplay but do have some kind of background.

I was trying to remember if that was the case. I didn't play much of V at all. I personally would rather be my own character and pic different specs as I want to. I know everyone wants that sweet skin money.
 
I don't know but this game looks so cartoon-ish! The realism seems completely gone and why is it sooooo green. Those trees seem from plastic

Every year? If my data is correct the last BF was released on November 8th, 2018. See this is what happens when ignorance is allowed to have the power to comment. Also, the changes happen get used to it. At least it's not like COD.
 
Ok, I'm loving the look of this one more and more! I just got into V (after getting Gamepass - which is awesome by the way. If you have a PC, it's well worth getting, but that's a different topic) and I'm loving it. So, I'm looking forward to this one for sure.
 
This literally reminds me of KZ2 MP. I wish we had that back with 128 Players. It was so much fun. I love BF as well but it looks more the samey. Im guessing there will be more perks later down the line.

Legit lol'd at the grandma and grandpa characters. Why is everyone so old?

It represents the BF playerbase lol.

I am mixed on this. If it's just skins or some 'stand out' traits' that's fine. I don't mind throwing some slight changes into the game..i don't want a hero shooter tho.

Overall I am still liking what I am seeing. Was happy to hear the old 1942 theme

Try again, see you in 4 years.

I think that's the reason why they put in "Portal" with maps & rulesets from previous games in BF2042.
I cannot lie, I would probably end up playing on Bad Company exclusive servers.

I guess we have to wait but my expectation is that is only a skin. I never got any but I remember at least one character that was bald and wore an eye patch.

They also came later in the life of the game so it might make sense why they weren't shown on the pre-release materials.

My understanding is that they still function like classes. I guess they just have voices and personalities? I don't know. I'm personally over the whole "hero" approach. But I feel like there's more to it here, unless we're gonna see a bunch of old lady and old man characters running around, lmao.

Something about this game just looks "off". I can't put my finger on it.

Yeah, I think this footage is... really early? Some of the animations look floaty or stiff to me. I'm hoping for the best, but something about this makes me feel concerned, lol.

I'd prefer not to be "a character" but the gameplay and class stuff looks pretty ace.

Lookin' pretty damn fun!

I agree. That recon/sniper portion looked really cool. Felt very Battlefield-y. Just hoping for the best!

Yeah I mean it's not enough to stop me from playing it. I just would rather be a unknown soldier. If I have to be what ever skins are free or free that week then oh well.

If this is so they better give us some options. It might be a minor annoyance, but if I want to be a certain specialty I don't want to be stuck with one character whose voice/attitude might annoy me.

Yeah, I'd really like to think they would. If I have to hear a person barking and talking the entire time, I'll absolutely hate it. I'm sure majority of the Battlefield community would. In some games that may work, but keep that in those games, some experiences just don't work with that.
 
First guy looks like he is trans.
Old german lady fighting a war
Russian guy who looks like he is from Saudi Arabia...

Yep, this game looks like it was made by the same guys who made BFV
 
If your going to force characters into this, use the fucking BAD COMPANY characters that everyone wants to see again.

The character selection isn't optional, as fucked up as that play test was, this aspect was alive and well in it.

Yes, that is an optional thing. You can very much make a custom character.

? You can heal from a distance in many BF titles and I have no clue where you got this "instead of classes" thing lol Where the fuck did you read that? What on Earth are you talking about?

Will give it a shot in the beta and go from there. So far I honestly don't have a feeling one way or another about it.

Well tbf there are no classes in 2042. It's all specialists. You can run any load out you want now it's not limited to a specific silo of a class

True, that can still be formed as a class though, simply not in the traditional sense, as in you can just make a character that is set up with certain weapons, perks etc as you did in other BF titles (as what I'm going to do lol) I think a few BF had a class that was like that, where you can alter the load out differently, maybe I'm thinking of the Spec Ops class in Bad Company series

personally im a fan of the more customizable 'classes' in battlefield. and I like specialist traits/perks. adds some flavor to the mix. they're clearly trying to ape part of the success of apex legends and put it into battlefield.
 
What happened to their faces? Totally uncanny valley, gameplay looks solid but not digging the art direction
