Trailer is a huge let down.

Well EA will make all things better when we get the beta. Just like with BF1 and SWBF2, where the beta played so well and was actually fun. Then the game releases and it not near what we thought. But thats the way EA markets its games now.

Well there’s nothing to be said there then I guess because personal preference is of course just that and I will most definitely respect yours. Cheers.

But I still think the re edited version of the trailer does much more justice to WW2 and Battlefield as a franchise than the original one did. And it’s an opinion shared by many from the look of it.

2 Things bothered me from the trailer, 1. The blue face paint, which i also assume will lead to pretty much any color face paint and 2. The guy who drag’s the guy running up the stairs into the room looks nothing like a German soldier and i also think he has blue face paint on. Unless he isn’t a german soldier?

edit: nevermind the second point i just realised it was the guy running up the stairs who drags the german into the room, Who looks more german. duh.

Don’t be fooled guys they released this trailer on purpose, make it unrelated to actual gameplay and get people talk about how bad it is, negative publicity is still publicity.

But negative.

Maybe for diehard BF fans, the masses who invaded gaming love colorful eye-candy trailers.

I was just hoping you would answer “but publicity”, really.

This ^,

the BF1 Trailer had a sense of dread to it. You can feel a sense of respect in BF1 the way you die like a dog on the first war story. That edited trailer is much better in that aspect.

What we have instead is almost Hogan’s heroes.

I’m happy with the new features, full customization included. Not showing more than one location and different multiplayer gameplay is the real downer though.

Dog i’m writing your name down, pray i don’t find you in BF V :slight_smile: .

Well… I don’t need to pray. Dogwoggle11 isn’t my ingame name… haha.

Oh they’ve had enough of that the last few years…JS

This “kid” who is 46 years old and has been playing EA games since Medal of Honor European Assault and supporting with my wallet, Battlefield since Bad Company, would like to exercise his opinion … No war should be depicted in such a childish, non accurate, non historic manner. Yes, I fully understand that the game mechanics may be an improvement on the franchise. Yes I fully understand that it was simply a trailer, however, first impressions are important but most importantly, in my humble opinion, the trailer and everything winthin was an insult to the veterans of World War II.

$0.02

Why is everyone saying that it is an insult to WWII veterans?

That’s like saying Scary Movie is an insult to serial killers.

I doubt any veteran will say “oh man, look at DICE disrespecting me with their videogame!”.

Because it’s not even close to an accurate representation of world war II. And please spare me the “it’s a video game” mindset… Go back to the EA classics. At least they actually looked like World War II. I take comfort in the fact that I am not alone in my opinion.

… And for the record, it’s documented that World War II vets were offended by certain video games. Maybe try doing your homework? They did speak highly of ubisoft’s Hell’s Highway Band of Brothers. You know, a World War II game and not the silly, Invincible Rambo’s led by a woman depicted in this trailer.

And it’s a video game. Not a history book or a documentary. The multiplayer specifically has very little to do with what even happened in the real war beyond setting and aesthetics.

Ill remember how ww2 looked in BF1942 when I’m flying around in my SWOWW2 Jetpack.

Yes I’ve already stated to spare me the it’s a video game nonsense… According to this trailer, they have absolutely no right to even call it a World War II game… once again I’m confident I’m not alone in my opinion. In fact, according to the majority of what I’ve read in this thread and elsewhere… I am not.

Except for the fact that its set in ww2, and features the weapons and vehicles used in ww2, and the nations that fought in ww2.

The “it’s a video game” spiel is not nonsense, it’s literally reality.

Pew pew

Whatever you say. Because when we think World War II, the first thing that comes to mind is a woman with a prosthetic hand killing a guy with a cricket bat. To hell with storming the beaches of Normandy or freezing to death in Bastogne. As I said, I am discussing the trailer and I will say again, the trailer is utter nonsense. It’s a very sad day when Call of Duty 1 ups us (WW2 Trailers).

Show me those oh so documented “facts” of yours. Do the homework for me, pal.

Are you saying that veterans, as a whole, are unable to differentiate between a videogame and the real thing, and thus are offended?
Or is it just that you are ¯_(ツ)_/¯ about it?

Those people have been through quite a lot. They are not some special snowflakes like the majority of people these days.

By the way, I am offended by fantasy medieval movies and series, because, you know, they aren’t depicting the Middle Ages properly!

Lord of the Rings? F*ck that ¯_(ツ)_/¯. Game of Thrones? The trash bin is right there.
