> [@Dogwoggle11](#): > > Very disappointing. Such a shame. > > I guess fast movements and cartoon-like sequences are what people like these days. > > If DICE is trying to learn from PUBG or Fortnite, they are making a huge mistake. THIS ^^^ . The large, epic battles with a multitude of people contributing on different fronts in one huge war (MAP) was what differentiated true Battlefield from the cramped, run-n-gun others… Sad that this is being lost and sad that BF will now lose so many faithful, devoted fans of the large scale warfare that initially defined “Battlefield”. . ((If this is the direction they are going, they can have their little cramped maps and explosions everywhere among the cartoon characters; I’ll spend my money on large scale warfare games - whatever replaces what BF should be - but it won’t be going here, if that’s what they are doing)) ---

Was the trailer a BO4/PUBG/Fortnite/BC2 mash up or what? I’m excited for the game but that trailer shouldn’t have been at the reveal. Guess I’m not the targeted audience they are looking for. ---

Games are trying to hard to be other games these days (ie COD being transformed into Battlegrounds / overwatch) Really don’t want my battlefield warped and ruined. We want a bigger better Bf1 in ww2 not some cartoon game. ---

The trailer killed the hype for me, but the details and the new changes that came out of the event restored the hype a bit. What a lame trailer. ---

I was a bit disappointed when I realized it would be WW2. But I knew (or at least I _thought_ I knew) that the trailer would be awesome and it would clear my doubts. It had the exact opposite effect. ---

When done correctly, games can teach the history. Think of the classic WW2 games and when the story mattered, but I certainly agree with your comparison with the BF1 reveal. The “mud and muck” so to speak. This looked like 4 Cod influence Rambo’s with laughable invincibility. I felt no connection to World War II whatsoever. ---

This looked like 4 Cod influence Rambo’s with laughable invincibility. I felt no connection to World War II whatsoever. True, WWI did inspire many people to learn about the war. This trailer has inspired me to learn about the history of one armed circus performers. ---

Most disliked Battlefield reveal trailer ever on YouTube. DICE said they listened to the community, I guess it just wasn’t the Battlefield community they listened to… Even the Bf Hardline trailer got less dislikes. GG DICE lol ---

Battlefield isn’t a war sim, but they always got the history, uniforms, ect, ect correct in the past, I’m not sure whats going on. As I have said, until I know more I wont pass judgement. ---

That is a damn good litmus test, my friend. I’m going to show this trailer to a few people who don’t play BF and ask them to tell me what era/war it is depicting. Will post results later today. ---
