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.

@The Dude It's those damned kids and their damned video game streamers! Hashtag Get Off My Lawn

@The Dude They're talking about the Pacman and the Googles.  

Back in my day the only spectator sports were . . . sports.

I agree @RedDenver

I've heard it both ways.  Kind of neat.

Check team ppg over the years.... It's virtually the same..... I hate the "in my day" argument in pro sports. 

Dewiz, he's in his 15th year.... How good was MJ on D in his 15th year? He was a shell of himself by then.For many years, LeBron was one of the best defenders in the league, and may be the most versatile defender ever (Could guard 1 thru 5 with ease).

Well, in my day.....

Seriously though, I used to love the NBA and about the time of Rodman (mid 90's?) I lost all interest. It really was more of a culture thing than anything. I don't mean to say it was better back in the day but it was for me. I just don't care for it any longer.

Oh, the game has definitely changed. It's a guard dominated league now, so much so that even your "big men" have guard skills.

It's a shame you quit watching it, you're missing true greatness (LeBron), and probably the best team ever assembled (Golden State).

@Moiraine Must be a different story

 http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2018/05/07/injured-bear-fatally-mauls-man-who-attempted-to-take-selfie-with-it.html  I think the only way to help someone being mauled by a bear would be to injure the bear.  I could probably save my friend but that's not fair to the bear who is just being a bear, so I'd test Darwin's theory.  Besides, people survive bear attacks.  

I prefer to watch bears from a distance without disturbing them https://explore.org/livecams/bears/brown-bear-salmon-cam-brooks-falls.  I spent a workday watching them catch salmon and decided that it's not easy being a bear.

@4skers89 it's the same story. I don't remember which place I read that they were treating the bear, but I'm guessing the one I saw was wrong.

I was talking about Knap's bear story post in the Misc Topic BS thread:  LINK

He was our best look out blocker.  ("LOOK OUT!!!")

Hopefully his team doesn't play the eagles.  I think he is still getting out of his stance against Barnett.  

@swmohusker - lol.  they only play the Giants twice a year.

Boom Box on your shoulder is the only way to go. I'd look for one that has the CD anti-skip feature and will play cassettes. No sense skimping.
