Its BF3 with an upgraded engine, it'll have the same 5 hour campaign that everyone will finish really quickly, with the same lackster features that have been missing since battlefield 2, only this time, your going to have people that wont cross over to BF4 because of all the money they've just spent on the BF3 premium packages. You'll have the same MP guru fanbois that'll move over and cant really see it selling more copies in its opening week then BF3 did. Again, so much focus on beating COD, leaving its roots behind to make way for a though graphiclly brilliant campaign, but very short and worthless in the end...

To sum it up, nice graphics. Still chasing CoD, still pretty boring.

Do I need to play Battlefield 1 thru 3 to get caught up on the story?

No, you need to drink three beers to catch up with the story. At your convenience, you may also skip the beer.

Yeah, why couldn't they explore one of the many other settings that the old Battlefield games explored, or something entirely new? They didn't really release the same game twice previously - Codename Eagle's alternate history World War 1 setting was pretty different from Battlefield 1942's ... well 1942 WW2 setting, and the next game was set during the Vietnam war, then Battlefield 2 took it to the modern military setting, but next up was BF 2142 taking it to the distant future, and even though the Bad Company games returned to the modern military stuff of Battlefield 2, they - specifically Bad Company 1 - had a very different take on the setting, even Bad Company 2 went for something somewhat different than the even by that time tired old Middle East setting, by mostly taking place in lush forests across Europe and South America. They could return to World War 1, or one of the many other conflicts of the 1900's, do more interesting alternate history stuff or do another distant future thing, but two games in the row in pretty much the same setting isn't all that interesting. I guess on the next gen consoles, BF4 will looks noticeably better than the current console versions of BF3, but I doubt there'll be much to distinguish the two games on PC.

Do you think they tried to beat CoD with the more satirical and squad centered Bad Company? If not, they have only tried to take a stab at CoD it one single time(BF3). To judge a game on one previous occurrence seems kind of narrow minded to me. Did we all judge Bioshock: Infinite becuase of the lackluster Bioshock 2. If so, stop everything you're doing.

Definitely really pretty. I'm assuming it's running on a really beefy PC. Curious to see what the next gen version looks like.

@christoffer: You can call it narrow minded if you like, but the simple fact is, Battlefield hasn't been a battlefield game since BF2.. Due to the console ports which started with desert combat, then bad company, and then bad company 2, BF3 and now seems to be the same theme with BF4. No bot support, no lan support, no mod support, no commander mode, no battle recorder!! I could continue if you like? yes bad company series both of them had been trying to beat COD due to adding a singleplayer campaign into a largely MP/Sandbox SP game right from the first days of BF 1942. THAT is why the BF franchince has become to lackster for over half a decade!!

This already looks miles ahead of the awful BF3 campaign. Good in DICE.

I actually think this flies in the fact of the few good things I think the BF3 campaign did. But not in a way that makes this bad, just in a way that makes me kind of wish they'd gone in a different direction. This still looks somewhat interesting.

I think you made a mistake, Desert Combat was not a console port, it was a 1942 mod that EA liked so much they hired the devs to make BF2. There was a console port of BF2 called modern combat for PS2 and xbox, maybe thats what you were thinking of.

The lack of spectator, LAN play, commander and mod support is what the game is missing for sure. I think infinite ammo on the vehicles as well as regenerating vehicle and player health was a design mistake. I did like the premium stuff, having new maps and modes was great, even if the game lacked some of BF2s charm it was still tons of fun to play BF3. BF2 is still fun, I still play it and it has its major issues that people with nostalgia overlook like horrible hit reg and lagy stuff like aiming down the sights and movement is all lagy, its very ping dependant.

No, I said it would be narrow minded IF you judged BF4 solely on the merits of BF3. I, myself, thought Bad Company was a unique take on the genre and had nothing to do with the CoD single player (but I haven't played any of the later CoD's tough, don't really know).

So to conclude. I chose to believe that Dice think they screwed up in BF3 single player and are ready and willing to correct it this time.

As for the multiplayer. That's a whole separate deal. I didn't play much BF2 (but I liked what I played). Still, I have had nothing but fun times with BF3. It might be the case that I'm not that interested in Mods, bots, and lan anymore (still a pc gamer though).

Nice effects. At least that sequence looks pretty interesting, hope the overall story does something different. Probably won't though.

Yea it looks like an FPS...but my god when he leaned out the car and FUCKED the ever loving hell out of that almost photofucking realistic helicopter...I...really can't wait to see that running on my PC.

But I will say what I really wish they would do is open up that single player, the movie thrill ride thing is alright but Battlefield should play to its strengths and not utilizing their giant map sizes, Land, air, and sea vehicles with AI running at a much larger scale, Battlefield 1942 and 2 had AI with multiplayer and while the AI was completely useless it still gave me the idea of what a Battlefield single player could look like. Could you imagine a huge map with a large amount of decent AI working against you? You could fit a Sniper elite game in two missions! Or roll tanks around in a semi open world battlefield sim just so many better options than movie mode.

tip of the day: when opening doors, in order to best prepare for whatever might be on the other side, make sure to lower your gun, and look down at the door handle while entering the room.

I think BF4 is chasing COD because BF4 went so far ahead it circled the globe and is now some how behind COD.

I hate FPS that are trying to be realistic, and then end up being almost like science fiction...

The visuals are great, but what percentage of gamers will be able to run this game on max settings...?

I like more story and gameplay than graphics. And opening doors while you look down, and lowering your gun is ingenious!

Didn't Battlefield 3 also have a crazy looking single player campaign trailer that looked awesome and the actual game ended up kind of "meh"? I'll wait till reviews before I get excited for this one.

People are hard to please. I thought it looked great for what I hope is a next gen visual bench mark. Still have no interest in a Battlefield game, but loved the character animations. The faces were well done as well. And the lighting, fantastic. I have a little more hope on Dragon Age 3 via frostbite.

An age gate is a prompt to enter your date of birthday to make sure you're over a certain age. They're mandated by the ESRB to be in place regardless of any other systems on the site a video is featured on. It's not something they can fix or have control over and unless they choose to break rules and risk getting black balled from PR releases. I'll save you time and suggest you disable your auto renewal right now.

This isn't an actual sequel to Battlefield 2 so I don't care. They need to stop pretending to be Call of Duty and give this series the respect it deserves.

If this was a proper Battlefield trailer it would have featured a person jumping out of a Kubelwagen loaded with TNT speeding directly toward a tank and setting off the explosives at the last second.

That they have that kind of voice talent on hand was probably the most interesting thing about this reveal.
