Apathy

Based on everything I've read since yesterday, the trailer seems to be a cracked out, somewhat misleading representation of how the game is actually going to be. I don't know if it was a stylistic decision or what but that trailer was... a little scary in terms of what I'm hoping this Battlefield will be. But, I don't think it's going to ultimately play out like that trailer suggested.

As for the battle royale mode, I too agree they'd be wise to include that mode. Those games aren't really my thing but they're incredibly popular and I could see a BR game mode bringing in a lot of players. It'd certainly be more impactful than some of the (somewhat uninteresting) game modes they tried to implement later in the BF1 timeline.

Things I liked:

• Character animations of running through windows and rolling, sliding forward, backwards and sideways. When he kills two enemy’s with a pistol and the way they roll forward looks pretty realistic
• The way buildings get demolished and the way grenades exploded inside or outside the building that effect the structure of the building
• Dragging teammates to safety to revive them
• The new melee kill from behind looks badass
• Sound and graphics are top notch no surprise there
• I like the vegetation that you can add to the guns
• Throwing back grenades. Building sandbags, rebuilding a demolished structure
• No season pass and loot crates/boxes
• Rag doll 
• Large non-fatal explosions knocking you down. Super badass
• Bullet penetration 

Things I don’t like or skeptical about:

• Customization. Hopefully it’s not overblown. The face painting looks dumb and reminds me of Braveheart
• The trailer did really show anything that resembled WWII besides the weapons and vehicles. 
• The prosthetic arm is just weird lol
• Need to see actual gameplay. What was shown on the trailer was underwhelming. Didn’t make me want to preorder the game at all
• The new health bar, less ammo and getting ammo from designed locations 
•  

Sounds like BF is getting back to it's roots with realistic sandbox team play. Funny how a lot of the "new" dynamics have been in other games for 15 years, but are just now finding their way back in. Ragdolls, grenade throwback, and bullet penetration have been something I've sorely missed in BF games.

If it's a Dice game last, then don't worry. It will be another great game, they always have a solid product.
