Battlefield 1 wasn't cartoony. I know WW2 was 70 years ago but to me this feels almost over-the-top irreverent...
I dont think theyll go COD styled silliness though. Youre not running around the field as a gingerbread man. It will be some skins, hairstyles, etc. The game isnt going to be dark and horrific, and thats okay
Glad about no participation from weapon companies, but... well waiting for more, that's not really enough.
Do people get that mad when a war game shows grass being green like it is and vibrant colors? I honestly am amazed by this WHAT? lmao.
Mechanically speaking, no. But visually, I think it's hard to deny that DICE has strived for authenticity in the past. While not "realistic", tonally it felt appropriate for the setting. Just look at a video like this:
It doesn't feel tonally "wacky" in any way.
The reveal trailer was obviously from a single player mission, so if what Jackfrags is saying is true, multiplayer will be slowed way down. But Battlefield has always had insane moments unfold spontaneously similar to that in the reveal trailer.
Yeah I appreciate some people will love the tone and dont care for realism. Me - not for me, prefer it to be based on more realistic settings.
All I saw was a bunch of sliding and fast-paced arcade action like a COD title. Which I welcome.
I'm all for anonymity on the internet but sometimes i'd LOVE to have a technology that will not let anyone bypass their real age identity. Would also be embarassing to see how many trolls are in the 20 to 40's range or even older.
God I hope we have the Pacific theater in this game. I'm tired of the western front after BF1 and CoD WWII.
Battlefield 1 is a comic book cartoon version of WW1. Are you judging all of BFV on a minute of single player footage? Ha.
The only first impression anyone's getting out of this is "non-serious attitude" and "unbelievable visual quality." I don't like Battlefield at all and I'm cautiously hyped for this after only watching the trailer. That's a success.
Absolutely. This is Battlefield WW2, Inglorious Basterds style. I think it's going to be a lot of fun because this gives the developers a huge amount of creative headroom with the story and gameplay going forward.
This will not be a WW2 simulator, which some people thought it possibly could be due to being a numbered, mainline, Battlefield game. If it had the "Bad Company 3" subtitle or something similar, the confusion would have been cleared up quickly.
Either way, the game will absolutely be great. And let's all remember that this is a video game. The goal is to be fun.
This was made by a 10 years old kid's imagination about the WWII
Youtube comments again on point.

I'm getting exactly zero WWII vibe from this trailer. If this is going to go the Inglorious Bastards way then I'm fine with that. I really want authentic WWII feeling from the MP but if they can make SP interesting (like in BC1), I'm onboard.
I loved the woman character, easily the largest badass in BF history, but the YT comments are indeed cancer. It's SP, they can easily write her into the story to make complete sense.
I might get torn apart here, but just as I mentioned before, half the team being women in MP might be immersion breaking. Although if it's going to be as batshit crazy as this trailer that will be the smallest thing.

A SJW themed game in a historical setting, very interesting. This stuff was not out of place in Overwatch but it feels a bit risky here, BF has a worldwide audience and they may not approve of this American way of rewriting history all over the globe.
This is not for me, but it's a big game and I was curious, so I want to leave my opinion here. Might get me banned as usual, but oh well? :lol
It was okay for a reveal trailer, it's what 10 million games have been doing for a while now, look like a movie trailer.
And if the second part was indeed gameplay, holy shit, there's a whole lotta things happening on screen, how is that even playable in real life?
I feel like more and more, game reveals are looking less and less like the actual product. All this scripted slash cinematic footage is distracting us from raw gameplay.

Yeah the Jackfrags video has definitely sold me on this. The new features sounds great to bringing this much closer to classic Battlefield game while also not skimping on innovation. Wish they could have actually shown this stuff to us in the reveal instead of emptily talking about it.
That would make it the greatest game ever made, "dismemberment, limbs, buckets of blood, heads exploding" etc? oH MAN!!!
Yes, DICE strived for authenticity which is why you could play as a pigeon in single-player...
Judging all of BFV on a segment of a single-player mission is kinda silly.
It's only ok because that's ok with you. And that's a totally fine opinion to have. Visually and tonally, from what I've seen so far, I'm not too optimistic, but I'll keep following the game until launch like always and I'll make a decision about it when it's necessary. I would never want to force my ideas of what a Battlefield game should be, nor would I even be able to do that. But, I do think a WWII Battlefield game should feel at least as dark tonally as Battlefield 1 felt. But that's just my opinion.
Here's an example of how not to react to this trailer:

The reveal trailer didnt feel like gameplay at all. Felt just like a scripted CGI... was all over the place for me.
As interesting as it looks, I would be shocked if any WW2 veteran who is still alive, or somehow had the chance to time travel hypotheticaly see this wasn't somewhat taken back by such a game.
This is sounding a lot more interesting than I thought. Glad they are moving away from the awfulness of the new battlefield games. The seriousness really does the series a disservice. Looks like they are going back towards the older games and even further?
This looks like a Quentin Tarantino version of WW2 if you ask me. lol
I don't like the female character at all, that pitchfork arm looks ridiculous and so out of place *I M O*. Then again like I mentionned this looks more like Inglorious Bastards WW2.

Yeah I'm really pleased it's not like every other WWII game. It's different, more 'gamey' and I like it.
Hrm. First minute I was into it. By 2 minutes I was meh. I dunno...Gorgeous as hell. But nothing gripped me. It looked like a Battlefield game.
Again, playing as a pigeon was mechanical device not a visual one. I'm also not dismissing Battlefield V entirely, just saying the based on what they've shown I'm pretty lukewarm until I see more.
The world has only been HDR from 2000 onwards, read some books please.I can't tell if this is meant to be serious or satire
things that scare me about this game are:
1. performance on PS4(BF4 and BF1 suck at large scale battles)
2. hardcore (with all that customization hardcore is gonna get very difficult, if it's there)
3. live service for Battlefront 2 sucks right now so I can't really trust in DICE

All I've seen of the game is this trailer. Once we see more of the game then I'll take that into account but based on this trailer I'm not feeling the game.
