I love how casually the grenade is tossed. A great highlight. Now if only dice would release more info on the next Battlefield.

Possibly of interest to someone in this thread. Out of nowhere they've republished Charley's War, an '80s British comic about a young lad who goes off to fight in WWI. It loving owns. Read it as a kid, and a several years back had to revisit it via some really sketchy scans found online. Great to see them available again in a quality format.

I was thinking about getting BF4 on PSN since there's that sale going- if I had the disk version of BF1, and the digital version of BF4, could I do that thing where you can just switch between them on a whim in the main menu? That looks neat.

I don't think it really saves you any time over just going to the main menu and switching from there but yeah I assume it would work.

But definitely get BF4, it is cool and good and still has a very strong player base on PS4.

Idk, I have the digital versions of both, but for me it works really well. There’s 0 load time switching between the games, which is absolutely loving nuts considering everything else about dice UI

There's a long video on the Jack Frags channel that goes into all the changes in the gameplay, all of which sounds awesome. Towing AA guns while a mate shoots it, setting up fortifications, dragging downed players into cover so they can be revived (with an animation now) in safety. Crouch sprinting, being able to vault through intact windows and doing a parkour roll as you land, different bullet penetrations through walls, customisable players and vehicles. Tons and tons of great sounding changes and additions.

The trailer itself was a bit of a confusing hot mess of things exploding all over the place, so can't really judge it from that, but it looks great. Love that they went with a British female SOE agent as the face of Battlefield V just to make fuckboys poo poo their pants. And she has a prosthetic arm, which is probably a nod to Virginia Hall, who had a false leg she nicknamed "Cuthbert".

No premium pass and no lootboxes sounds great, not sure how I feel about the idea of "seasons" which might mean temporary content rotating in and out as I do like to be able to play all the things at all the times. But I guess that all remains to be seen.

The official trailer (which already has 2:1 like to dislike ratio because "oh now, womens"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb1MR85XFOc

A loooong video listing all the gameplay stuff. Worth the listen because holy poo poo it is a ton of stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xegBXGaFrOU

LOVES EVERY FUCKING GAME EVER MADE. EVER.
Shamelessly stolen from a dude on Resetera who typed up the details from that long BF5 gameplay changes video:

Details:
No Season Pass
Launch locations are France, Africa and Rottedam and North Africa desert
Coop Mode called Combined Arms
Single player War Stories return
Fortifications are things like sand ags, trenches, tank stoppers. Only supports can build offensively defense fortifications such as machine guns, field cannons and are much faster at building everything.
Predetermined areas to build such as at flags, can rebuild destroyed buildings
Health bar is in stages, only regen up to closet stage not to 100 anymore
Physical interactions - every action in the game requires a player interact for things like medkits, spotting, ammo, ledge grabbing (example: healing requires walking over to a health pack, character animation to pick it up, then start healing)
No more HUD/map spotting, spotting is based on movement/changes around you
Much less ammo on spawn, out of ammo after a few fights, but more ways to resupply ammo in the battlefield from packs, crates, or grabbing small amounts of ammo off of bodies (all requires physical interactions)
Revive system has a full on animation, takes a few seconds to complete, no more revive trains, takes time to complete
Ragdolls are server side, can now drag a downed player's body elsewhere
Any class can do a squad revive, takes longer than a medic revive, does not give full health points
Can call for help when down such as in the trailer
Ragdolls (player bodies) effect the environment, push down grass etc.
Gunplay completely changed
No more visual recoil
Each gun has a unique recoil pattern that can be learned and mastered
Bipods easier to use and setup
Bullet penetration through thin wood, sheet metal, walls
Movement change, can now dive froward, backward, left and right similar to R6 Siege prone system
Diving has a delay to prevent dolphin diving
Crouch sprinting is in the game
Can burst out of widows and commando roll, no destroying windows first
Can catch, throwback or shoot grenades
Less grenades because less ammo
Can tow items in the game with vehicles such as previously stationary anti-air guns, teammate can use an anti-air gun while you tow it with a vehicle
For example, can drive a tiger tank towing a field cannon behind it or a truck towing ammo crate to resupply teammates on the front line
Destruction explodes inwards or outwards based on where the destruction happens. Throw a grenade inside of the building? The explosion sends things outside of it. Outside of it? Breaks inwards.
Tank driving into a building slowly destroys a building, walls slowly crack/fall, not instant
Heavily focused on squad play, instant placed in squad when joining a game
New squad spawning system, squad deploy system that shows what squad mates are doing in third person in real time before the tactical map screen, so spawning on squad is kicker than spawning on tactical map screen
Since squad spawning/deploying is faster than tactical map, squad wipes are serious
Squads accumulate points that can be spent on "squad call-ins", only squad leader can spend them in
Squad Call-ins are V1 or JB2 rockets as seen in the trailer, supply drops with ammo/health, a smoke barrage, heavy weapon pickups (not hero kits), squad only vehicles such as Churchill crocodile flamethrower tank or the Sturm tiger
Elite classes are gone
Behemoths are gone
Large, non-fatal explosions can knock a player over
Four classes are back: assault, medic, scout, support
Create a solider, add them to a company of soldiers, then can customize things like gender, face look, face paint, outfit, accessories, etc. and assign them a class archtype
Class archetypes highly customization
Can be an assault that specializes in anti-tank or anti-infantry only, or a mix of both, etc.
Highly specialized archetypes called exotics such as a recon paratrooper, stealthy short-range behind enemy lines person who uses a suppressed SMG and silent gadgets like pistols and garrotes comes with silent footsteps and throwing knives
Can change and add specialization trees such as agility, flak armor, suppressive resistance
The more you play a class more you get more specializations/archetypes within said class
Same system for guns, pick a gun, level it up, unlock specializations and making gameplay choices in a skill tree on that gun
Specializations are the only thing that affects how a gun plays or feels (ex: bipod)
Five-seven elements to change on a gun to make it your own (stocks, sights, muzzles, chassis, skins, leaves on the front, cloth on back, straps, etc).
Gameplay and visual customization is SEPARATE. Look of weapon is just visual without impacting gameplay, specialization is what determines how the gun plays/feels.
Same system for vehicles and planes
Asymmetric vehicles for teams, (ex: one team might get a big slow tank that does lot of damage, other team gets a small fast tank that does light damage)
Grand Operations gamemode, each day is a full match, always advance to the next day
GOs have different objectives per day
Success or failure in GO days have visual and gameplay impact
Day 4 only has a chance to happen if there isn't a clear winner from previous days
Day 4 is last stand, limited ammo, no respawns, whoever lives to the end wins
Coop mode, combined arms with a dynamic mission creator/AI that sits between SP/MP as a creative sandbox
Soldiers created for a company can be used in both coop and MP, parity
No news on suppression yet, uncertain if in game
All logic in game is server side, not client side so changes to systems do not require a patch
Promises of more communication between devs and community, roadmaps, etc.
New content is called Tides of war, daily/weekly/monthly challenges with overarching chapters and questlines that give you "unique items and cosmetics"
Tides of War givs new maps, game modes, limited time expierences
Variety of maps with different tones such as complete crushing battlefield chaos or more slow space large maps with tempo that goes up and down
Gamemodes confirmed: Grand Operations, Conquest, TDM, Domination
No news on RSP
The Shhhh animation from the trailer is possible to experience in game
Transport vehicles are alive on the map and can jump into them
Combat vehicles spawn from tactical deployment map

So we have some loving awesome game they are making, but all around of the intro theres a lot of negativity because they tried to get mil-sim people to buy Bad Company 3.

I think people will loving call down once we see more gameplay.

What I don't understand is how medics will be viable in the new model of "no magical effects". If revive require a long animation, even less people will revive.

Also "spawn on squad" is the most stupid mechanic ever, but I guess is a compromise with some people wanting instant action. Hope they made tanks OP again.

You'll need health packs you top you off since you don't heal to full health on your own anymore.
