Nice! This type of "small scale" destruction is something that's been missing from the main trailers so far.
OP
OP
Breakthrough is Breakthrough of BFV and that is Operations from BF1. More a head to head indeed. Need to capture multiple zones at the same time and then you move through or back a defenders.
All older BF games under single hub type construct that allows you to host servers with those games contents. Some rumors even alleged you could take e.g. BF 2 map and use BF 1942 armies on it. Very out there stuff.
Ah ok. Only played conquest and didn't put many hours in these two.
they are bringing back BF3 maps and basically the BF3 experience in the 3rd game mode. Sounds too good to be true
Yeah i wont believe any of these tbh. Sounds like a fanboy dream.
I had a dream a couple of nights ago that the squad mode involved infiltrating into a conquest server (in which you're identified as hostile to both teams) and have to go blow up an MCOM station near a conquest capture point.
I bet my dream is as close of either of the leaks mentioned in this thread

Aww, I like the singular focus in Rush. I like setting traps. I like stealthy planting/defusing bombs.
It's not the same when it's a whole point. You can't very well cap a point under the enemy's nose. They've got indicators for that.
Then again, Rush has always worked best when they designed maps around the mode, like in BC2 and BF3.
Oh man, if the mode is 32 player Rush across BC2 & BF3 maps, I'm going to get fired for sure
Another new tidbit was that if you have wingsuit and jump off the skyscraper you can reach opposite end of the Qatar map in single glide.
I mean they've been able to do that to some degree since BFBC. Are ALL buildings now destructible? I sure hope not.
Really looking forward to this game. One of my most anticipated of the year. I got way into BC2, BF3, and 4 then fell off 1 and never got into V despite buying it like a chump. This game looks like everything I love about BF turned up to 11. I hope it delivers.
Cool. Was weird how destruction was omitted from both trailers. This is the first time I've seen it even being mentioned. Guess they're saving that and other things for EA Play Live.
Sucks there's no new footage but glad to have destruction at least for small buildings. Cardinal direction descriptions for what we've seen is nice.
Something that was a little alarming was the talk about moving on to a new location after capturing a point rather than talking about a good reason a squad would want to post up and defend a spot. Really sounds like fortifications are out if they're not talking about entrenching in a position.

Did they confirm that destruction won't be present for the most part? It would suck not to be able to blow holes in walls
No. Literally opposite, they mentioned that one map has village which can be fully destroyed.
The Design Director confirmed that there is still destruction, and Hourglass has a village of destructible buildings (as in more than one), so that's good to hear. But it remains to be seen exactly how significant of an aspect destruction will be across various maps. For the rest of Hourglass, I expect maybe some interior walls in the stadium and ground floors of skyscrapers and such.
They've seemingly purposely avoided showing destruction in these trailers, or talking about it at all really.
Hopefully they'll delve into it on July 22nd.
