I forgot this was coming out. My son and I have probably played through It Takes Two 5 or 6 times. Will be nice to try something different.

visually looks insane



but dunno answers to important questions like do we have classes again? Is there a server browser anymore? Are there pronouns in the character selector? doesn't seem like there is full on destructible environments like 4 but can't really tell either.

i'm hopeful though, if they can even get back to 50% of bf3/bf4 awesomeness that would be neat

So Battlefield 3 and 4 were actually really fucking good and it just isn’t a weird anomaly that they are among the few first person shooters, and only online ones, that I’ve actually enjoyed?

Battlefield Hardline was actually a great game and had some amazing game types. I played every BF 3 and beyond, but that one had the most fun, especially the Hotwire game mode. That shit was amazing. Battlefield meets Mario Kart.

I honestly can't differentiate in my mind between 3 and 4 much, except I believe 3 got super cheese dick with mortar spam.

BF 1942 wake demo.

There's been some good ones since then. BF Vietnam was amazingly hilarious, battlefield 3 I think it was, was OK, BC2, 2142, a few have been decent. They started falling off 'general' quality a bit before they also started being woke and gay.

BF Vietnam was awesome. I remember the constant propaganda from the vietcong

Bf1 was fucking awesome and still is. The sound stage alone should be used in every battlefield game moving forward.

Everything after that was downhill.

I disagree. It was only OK. IMO, they had an opportunity to make it WW1 like, and instead gave everyone access to automatic weapons instead of having the baseline be bolt actions. This would have slowed down the game and made all the slower vehicles with machine guns much more interesting. They also had the DEI garbage characters start to creep in. It was certainly better than the WW2 one that came after and the whatever police one?, but it was a disappointment to me. The best thing to come out of that game was the "holy shit its jason bourne" meme of the guy running on the exploding zeppelin.

Valid complaints but the gameplay is incredible. They had a bolt action only mode for awhile, it was very fun I do wish that was a main option.

With that being said the bolt actions were OP with their sniping system which I really loved.

I had a lot of fun with BF1. I even had fun with 2042 for a while but BF1 was the last one I played hundreds of hours.

BF4 was the last truly good/decentd BF. BC2 and 1942 are goated. Vietnam and the Desert Storm one (I think that's what it was called mod for BF1942 that got its own spinoff) were also top tier.

I would love to see a resurgence of old school BF, Tribes, Team Fortress and Quake/Unreal games but I doubt it'll happen, and not just like remastered versions of those but an evolution of them. I've said that FPS genre (along with mmorpgs) are some of the most diminished/devolved genre from the golden days, unless you like survival/extraction/BR shit. This game will probably suck too don't give your hopes up. It'll be a great shell marred with systems designed around mtx monetization, which will have ultimately killed any creativity this game might have had. Its sad and depressing but its where we're at until some chad with a vision gets AI to program his game for pennies on the dime.

Sadly fps games are nothing more than loot box simulators nowadays.
