Then for me its useless.

trailer was impressive. anyone planning to get back to battlefield??

TBH Battlefield series single player has always been pretty crap. Multiplayer is where Battlefield series shines.

Bad company 2 had probably the best campaign out of all BF series. BF4 was the last MP I played, skipped out on Hardline and 5, played BF1 campaign only. Might get it if reviews are good.

Multiplayer only with evolving narrative.
You can play with or against AI controlled bots on an entire server.
128 players for PC and new consoles, 64 for old gen. No battle royale.
Dedicated servers.
Wide variety of vehicles. Huge combat area, air and ground.
You play as specialists, each belonging to classic BF classes. 10 specialists to start with each with unique gadgets. Weapons no longer tied to specific classes.

Wow. Though I think Battlefield series is most well suited for battle royale mode.

Really? But the requirements must be very high to manage 128 palyers on the server.

Is it like there are multiple specializations for assault, recon, engineer and support?

Can't imagine assault carrying sniper rifle, but perhaps the sniper rifle will be part of a class specific kit.

Not sure about that, just that these specialists are based on the four BF classes. Could be more on the lines of Rainbow 6 Siege i think. Monetize the customization options.
Only a few got to attend the press pre-brief for this and above pointers were shared there, as explained in the video.

Battlefield 4 also had a commander class who was non-combat, I wonder this will have that.

10 specializations doesn't add up for 4 classes. But if you count the commander class then at two specializations each it adds up.

I am guessing it will be something like assault can be medic or shock troops (like in Battlefield 1).

Gameplay trailer coming this Sunday. More to be revealed at EA play next month. Lets see.
This reveal trailer was full on fan service.

some of the recent campaigns in BF were quite short,not requiring more than 3 hrs to complete,but they were still quite engaging.

I hope dedicated servers means actually dedicated, not pay EA or third party and rent their servers. This has always been scummy from EA but for them money is money i guess

As a battlefield mp fan i am so hyped about this.

I dont know what you are talking about bf series was always about mp.

I liked the trailer but I was hoping for aliens.

Man, that would suck. But if they give the same xp then I guess it would be a good way to farm levels.

You get the bot support

but i have read somewhere that they would be hard experienced bots ever trained by AI methods even harder to kill than real players.

Someone will find a way to cheese them.

Never played Battlefield online. Thinking about picking this up but still quite unsure whether I'll enjoy it enough and whether standard edition will be enough because the other editions are too expensive. I guess I'll wait for the open beta.

Oh man. I hope the download itself is not full 100 GB.

Any of you tried the beta?
