I don't think they'll be streaming live MP rounds until tomorrow, but the youtubers have released some MP footage. Looks very promising... Sound design is top notch. The lack of spot markers littering the screen is also a big breath of fresh air since they all but removed spotting (there's apparently still an intra-squad spotting mechanism).

The game as shown, is in alpha state. Virtually every BF beta I have played, looked worse than the final release. That said, geometry and shader detail is already obviously higher.Looks like they’re sticking with small maps and low resolution textures to please the console plebs. Almost looks like a modded bf1with WW2 weapons and a few changes that aren’t that earth shattering. When will DICE give us something new and exciting?

Map size seems plenty large, to me. And the consoles wouldn't hold that back anymore anyway, as they all have plenty of ram. Its important to note that Grand Operations probably does segment maps into smaller areas (like rush did in BC2), due to the nature of the game mode. Grand Ops is not the only mode. I've no doubt we will be seeing maps as large as BF2 or BF4, in conquests based modes.
Micro trans. Cool skins only I hope.
Yes I am aware of the various hardware and technical reasons PAST consoles can't handle large maps. This game does not show anything obvious as to being held back. Nor should it, as that has not been a trend since BF3. Bad Company 2 was the last of the console centric battlefield games. and it was needed, because the 360 and PS3 had a teeny amount of ram and shading power. Bad Company didn't even release on PC. It was created as a console centric battlefield (BC1 was also excellent, btw).Consoles are limited with render distance and that’s why they can’t handle large maps, just look at how shitty PUBG is on Xbox one. Battlefield is a console first title and it shows.
Everything will be free.
I mean, shit you can go play Failops 4 if you really hate BF5..
Why have cool skins when you can have ridiculous skins that look better suited for the next Fallout instalment?
I wouldn't mind a new Battlefield set in a post apocalyptic world. It would allow them to go crazy with a mix of weapons and then they could even do whatever cosmetics they wanted.
Good luck getting heavy equipment like tanks or helicopters post apocalypse.
Then make it an alternate timeline
or even better do a Gi Joe based FPS using the classic toys. The setting is ripe for customization options.
Why not play Fortnite or similar? I mean that is pretty much what you're describing, Gi Joe look with post apocalyptic survival feel. Don't really understand the idea of taking a war game and making it into something else when we have so many post apocalyptic games of every type. Kind of interested in seeing what Fallout 76 will be like. Just hope they use a different engine or make it less shitastic than whatever FO4 used.
In conversation with senior producer Andreas Morrell at E3, Phil asked if the developer is worried about historical accuracy in relation to the game's planned cosmetic items.
"It needs to be believable. It needs to fit with the era," explains Morrell. "We're not creating a steampunk universe or anything like that.
Because I am not asking for the cosmetics, but if DICE is going to go with that model I would rather see them implement them in a way that makes sense rather than trying to shoehorn them into an actual historic setting. I don't want Fortnite building, and I don't want single elimination with one man standing.
Not impressed really typical run and gun.
thanks. I got an invite. will dl tonight. needed a break from fortnite, its getting super competitive.check your email! closed alpha invites have gone out!
