New Battlefield Test Tomorro Announced at 5PM CET

I just want the maps to be as good and as destructible as BC2 and BF3, the mayhem of BF1 operations mode, controls to be a smooth and fluid as 2042 and normal classes.

I have faith in this game though, when has Vince Zampella ever delivered a bad game? He’s got nothing but hits under his belt.

confusing what is real
 
I want to also believe! That footage looks good as, but they will fuck it up - guarantee. It will look nothing like that and be COD/Fornite looter-shooter clone

Don't write it off until the beta. Zampella knows what he's doing and if he has had complete control over the development then I am quietly confident.

The man who made Call of Duty the juggernaut it is now can save Battlefield.

True - but I feel that's going to be part of the problem. It'll be pushed to be as big and close to COD as possible - which back in the early days was BF's biggest feature (having a different play-style and feel to COD).
Time will tell I guess

To be fair the first thing he says in that interview is how many fond memories he has of playing 1942. He knows what the fans are expecting, and I think the big focus on destructability in that teaser shows that.

Yeah good point, god damn I hope so - haha I'm so salty for this since BFV and 2042. It's going to take me a while to get excited for this one

The Battlefield 2042 reveal trailer also showed us exactly what we wanted.

And look at where we are now.
Don't remember the trailer, but I bought a PS4 at launch to play BF4, even if it crashed every 2 hours for the first days. I loved it anyways.

Well, before BF2042 launch there was enough information so I never bought it because I knew it was shit.

Later, they gave it away with PS+ after fixing most of it's problems, and I find it enjoyable now. But nobody who was looking and paying a bit of attention was fooled by the prerelease marketing.

? I mean, he is a veteran game developer and being the one that created Call Of Duty, doesn't mean the concept will be that anymore then Star Wars Fallen Order or APEX or Titanfall are like Call Of Duty.....

So I'm going to agree with ValiantInstance ValiantInstance on this one, he knows where his focus is and his interview more so points to seeking to be in the inspiration of BF3 / BF4. Not anything like Call Of Duty as I have no clue why gamers still say this weird ignorant thing, it makes it sound like developers have a 1 track mind as if their goal is just to do only the same fucking shit as their biggest game or something

Thats like expecting Zelda to play like Mario cause it was made by the same person as if the person isn't fucking smart enough to make something different lol

Have at least that respect to get Vince has made many different games before and his interviews don't strike me as trying to make BF into COD or something.

Its in good hands
Granted, the 2042 reveal trailer showed all things that are (or at least were) possible in the game.

Agreed with both.

I don't think anything in marketing BF2042 or really any BF has ever seeked to fool anyone, 99% of what you see in a BF trailer is shit that exist in the game as a real thing, I don't even get the point in any of the claims anyone makes about being tricked or fooled etc

They wanted to lie so much, they gave you a beta? Early access? Allowed reviews to show full gameplay prior to release? Showed in game, in engine footage? When is this trick suppose to fucking happen exactly? lol

If anyone wants to see a trick with trailers, go look at CDPR for that shit. Zero demo, stopped reviewers from showing their own footage, multiple trailers talking about features like car customization that doesn't exist and cop chases that didn't exist..

Until we get some BF releasing like that, I don't care for this fake ass claim where gamers seem to say EA does this, yet provide not a fucking shred of evidence to support it, while ignoring shit that CP2077 did upon its release, that is the king of trickery here when it comes to launching a title and until some game does that, it will remain the king lol Imagine anyone even doubting this team and the fucking thread is literally about them letting games fucking test the game...

yeah fair enough and I agree - ultimately my resistance is just that the last BF entries were shit. Even post updates and fixes they were the worse games in the entire series. Granted though this is new leadership yeah? and they are saying the right things... just have to see where this goes.

While I like Titanfall... I find that all of his FPS (Titanfall, APEX, COD) all have the same "feel" and that feel isn't BF. Just hope they really do take inspiration from the older series like they're saying.

I’m super fucking excited for the next Battlefield as I’ve basically all but given up on COD so Battlefield is all I have left outside of milsim stuff like Reforger.

I don’t actually hate 2042 and it’s gotten much better over the years. No it’s not Bf 3 or 4 or 1 but it’s fun and the only game that really scratches that itch for me.

I have 1000s of hours between 3/4/1/2042 and a return to the 3/4 style is the best new I could hope for.

Call of Duty is fucking hot trash now and has been for awhile. Idk how anybody plays that trash in 2025.

What they showed is exactly what I wanted, a natural expansion on BC2 destruction style. Literally all they have to do is make a bunch of maps for it and give it BF3/4 modes, classes, scoreboards etc. They can only fuck up by trying too hard. Just make it easy.

lol god no, they are fine with the physics based destruction that we see in 2042 as I think some of you need to take them nostalgia goggles off.

So you want them to revert back to something lessor or? lol

You 100% sure about this or?

I'm only comparing it to 3 and 4. I don't think DICE should look at anything from the games that come after that. I like the vast majority of the buildings to be fully destructible. There should only be one metropolitan map with skyscrapers and city blocks. That's not the Battlefield I want unless they've really got the tech to make the whole thing as destructible as the mud huts and shantys in BC2.

I would add that Call of Duty 4 is his magnum opus, it's only after that when things got silly with Cod. That game was very grounded for an arcade shooter and I wouldn't mind the next Battlefield borrowing some elements from it, especially in the campaign.
