Honestly, by now I have no more interest in Battlefield games, but it's good to see them continuing the series.

The Motley Crue was a nice touch. Smile

Bah, wanted to see game play.

Cool mini movie, though, I guess.

Jane Lynch got cut in half with a minigun, right before someone drove a quad into the helicopter. You know, because you bring fucking quads to the top of skyscrapers.

I'm going to ignore all the hype, like I always do, until release, because that way I can't be too disappointed. I'll end up playing it, if only because I have the EA Sucker Bitch Package, and get all their games.

Shit! Saw that earlier and was gonna post it.

While it's not an accurate representation of an actual Battlefield game (team tactics are actually in use in the video), it looks amazing! And with double the amount of players in a game from 64 to 128, it'll make for some interesting vehicle spawn camping and sniper duels.

Sounds fun as shit. I'm looking forward to it.

I haven't played an online multiplayer with 128 people on a map at once since Tribes 2 back in 2002 or something.

150 per match in Warzone.

Don't think I could afford the system upgrade required to play all game features on HIGH or MAXIMUM. Unfortunately, I don't have time for online gaming anymore. Frown

I don't think it's been US vs USSR since Bad Company 2.

Bad Company 2 was Russians, not Soviets. Sounds like it's gonna be something similar here, 5 minutes in the future, fighting Russia.

Beta access this weekend. Watched some early access game play this morning (streamer: IceManIsaaic). Looks cool but not having played the previous ones, would be interested to know some of your thoughts.

Game is absolutely beautiful to look at on the Series X!

Shit! I loved the original. My favorite game of all time. The battles were frequently kind of personal. Guess im going to have to get a new system and give this a whirl.

Any of you nerds do the Beta?

I played about 2 hours, it was Battlefield. Of course being the Beta there was one maps, and it was only conquest. Shocker there was a bigass tower where all the one-handed gamers stayed.

I liked that you could swap out the stuff on your primary without having to respawn. Grips and scopes and whatnot, that was pretty neat.

I wasn't blown away by anything though, it's Battlefield, here's a gun, kill those guys over there. Wub wub wib wub wubwub. I'll probably end up playing it a bit, as long as the other nerds I'm with are, and I have the EA Sucker Bitch Package, so I own it anyway.
