Yes, I am looking forward to seeing which political agenda they have chosen this time.

I look forward to seeing plenty of trailers showing perfect game play and features we'll finally get 12 months after launch (6 months after people stop playing).

Things I'd like to see :
balanced weapons
at least 10 maps
a working anti-cheat system

Things we'll get :
a battle Royale that everyone will play once, then realise it's just slightly too st to gain players
in game currency for buying clothes/guns/trinkets
one amazing over hyped feature that will eventually be delivered just as the player base moves on, also it will be badly implemented
day 1 hacks available and never tackled

Ultimately, it won't matter anyway, as no one will be able to get a graphics card to play it.

I look forward to the reveal (Battlefield games are still the best when they deliver), but won't be playing until I can buy a graphics card for sensible money.

Looking forward to it, I'm hoping it goes back to the old BF4 and BF3 times, I spent hours playing those games, but the recent BF1 and BF5 just didn't do it for me.

I guess that is the single person stuff, I can't wait to see the online multiplayer bits

There is no single player this time around... it's just multiplayer.

That said, you will be able to enter the lobby by yourself with just AI Bots for practice.

Is this confirmed? Steam is listing as single player..

I like the look of it. They've obviously tried to listen to the fanbase, and it appears we are getting quite possibly a combination of BF3/4 set in the not too near future. I will preorder, as in my fashion with Battlefield titles, but I'll wait for the open beta to pass judgement. It is DICE, afterall.

Ah ok. I still want to see the actual online gameplay though rather than those bits....... But I see 128 players !!

The advert is all cinematics. Is anywhere showing game play?

Does not appear to be as yet, which is the basis of my issue! Once we see the gameplay, happy days. Although I am 99.9999% certain I will buy the game pre-ordered anyway.

hmmm, it's got a BF2142 vibe, and 128 players, this could be good fun. I'll be waiting for some long term gameplay from Jackfrags/Stodeh before committing. I might even break convention and get it on console if I can play on keyboard/mouse. That'll be cheaper than a PC graphics card...

That looks good, I might get this, I quite liked BF4 until they made the vehicles too powerful and infantry were nerfed to extinction.

June 13th for a gameplay video according to the last few seconds 8f the cinematic showpiece.

I'll buy it, I always do as the Battlefield games tend to be all I play, the big question will be if I move to PS5 for it from my PS4.

MW has Ground War which is 64 players on reduced sections of the Warzone map.

It looks like there will be a mechanism to force players to move. Ground War you just end up with a bunch of people camped out sniping which is pretty dull, some maps are better than others.

I've always bought them and then a few months later.....they've been free on EA access biglaugh

I might hold off for a bit on this one, cinematic trailers never seem a game for me, it may look amazing, but that's not what we get, plus we all know that it will be riddled with bugs for at least 12 months in true "Only in Battlefield" fashion rofl

I'm sold. Got 100s and 100s of hours in BF3 and 4 ( and the earlier ones). BFV was crap. BF1 I could not even be bothered to install.

Modern setting, amazing graphics, great game play (I hope)... So looking forward to it.

Playing on PC, mouse and keyboard is the only way lol.

PS5 for me. The only question is going to be which version to pre-order I feel. I just hope that the gameplay trailer is as good as I am hoping for, but let's face it, I will be buying the game either way..........
