Wow, this game looks completely and utterly bloody average. That's a pretty good achievement from the current BioWare team though. Coming February 2019.
Nice to see Sledgehammer be more creative now that those deluded ignorant lying arseholes Condrey and Schofield have left the series. Shame the damage has already been done as most people have long abandoned the game but it does bode better for the future of the studio with them two out of the picture. SHG have been listening to the community lately and trying to make the game enjoyable along with fixing major issues that plagued the game since launch. Pity it had to take them two leaving for SHG to escape the clutches of the restrictive creative dictatorship those two morons were running.
You mean this
Looks like you missed it but you didn't miss much - it was just some mumbled chit chat and the only new thing was the Frequency map which was briefly shown.
I've been a season ticket holder with Oxford United for 20 years straight and was a member of Tottenham for nearly a decade. 3 promotions with Oxford and 3 Wembley cup finals with them along with 2 cup finals with Spurs and plenty of entertaining games at the lane.
Both teams are shit and really piss me off though.
After watching England against Nigeria and Costa Coffee; I am supremely confident beyond any doubts that we will absolutely get at least a draw against Tunisia.
I remember a fair few dom matches on there where you'd just spawn nade the B flag over the walls but as soon as you step out into the middle you get shot dead so you just spawn nade and do it all again. It's quite a long map with needlessly large spawn areas. I would've preferred Standoff over Slums as there are good flanking options either side to keep both teams on their toes plus a few buildings but Slums has three options; lane 1, lane 2 or lane 3 and one key building overlooking B.
Most retailers have cheekily bumped the price back up now the game has got some actual features rather than being a generic sandbox. It was under a tenner and in most bargain bins for the past year and a half but now as a minority of people have 'forgiven' Sean Murray for lying to them for 3 years straight; retailers are swooping as wallets are slowly opening. The publishers have also kept the price at £39.99 on Steam which insulting really.
Developers are being very cocky an arrogant about the fact they've added about 3 out of the 37 features they talked about before launch but from a non-brainwashed standpoint, it's nothing to be proud of.
I'd avoid it on principle as the game was sold on a pack of lies and even now, only a few things have been added that were initially promised and they only did that to cover their arses from refunds and litigation. It's still a threadbare game with very little to do.
30k for a Cat? Got to be a joke surely?!
There were a few missiles thrown during the game and some blocked stairways but the cat invading the pitch was deemed the most serious offence 🤣

Steampunk has a very distinctive style especially in regards to the clothing. The vibe is very much vintage sci-fi with an historical twist.
I hope character customisation lets me play as this guy
Anytime MW2, please let this franchise die already,, please let this franchise die already, is written, the phrase 'please let this franchise die already' pops up. Who's been fucking around with the forum coding? Bet it's Diddums!
If I saw this and hadn't seen the BF5 reveal; I would never have ever guessed this to be a Battlefield game. It looks more like Far Cry 5 or some warped Steampunk themed shooter than a WW2 BF title.
I'd like to see WMD from BO1 return as that map was great in all modes. Summit is another iconic map but they didn't do a very good job of re-imagining it in BO2. Actually most of Treyarch's remakes have been pretty bad previously apart from Firing Range (Studio) Stadium (Takeoff) was another good map that went to shit when it was remade. Slums would be a good map to bring back too I reckon.
*Edit The previous leak was partially correct but I'll list the confirmed maps here instead. Names subject to change on the remakes:-
- Frequency
- Contraband
- Payload
- Seaside
- Jungle (Black Ops)
- Summit (Black Ops)
- Firing Range (Black Ops)
- Slums (BO2)
- Nuketown
Yep, it's not even nostalgia that makes those games good - they are genuinely excellent titles that are still incredibly enjoyable today. No SBMM or competitive bullshit on shoebox sized 3 lane maps - just pure varied fun despite some annoying elements. You don't need an over the top story, Hollywood actors or cartoony gimmicks to make a great experience yet these developers don't seem to understand that.
I cannot believe they aren't doing a modern day Battlefield 5 - what a wasted opportunity. This could've put COD to bed entirely with sheer ambition and really push the Frostbite engine to its maximum potential. I can't recall anyone asking for a WW2 shooter in the BF community and this industry is saturated with World War themed games. Another developer that's completely out of touch with its very own players and the wishes of the wider FPS community.
That's been the problem in this franchise for so many years now. They thought competitive was the way forward (along with wallrunning and outer space) when 99% of users are casual and not even a nosedive in sales and player counts couldn't hit home that this isn't what people wanted. The brand has failed miserably with the competitive focus so instead of writing it off; they've copied every other game in the last few years in one last ditch attempt but it will be the same old story I think; only this time, the competitive-heavy format will put people off entirely from purchasing. The series cannot get a foothold in the eSport arena and it makes very limited revenue from streams which is why nobody plays it.
How hard is it to make a military-themed 6v6 FPS with boots on the ground with real weapons, equipment and vehicles FFS without having to add farcical features such as superhero abilities, knee sliding, OP weapons and cartoony gadgets. This picture springs to mind again:
The one positive about this is that you wont run into a troll team all running the same specialist - 5 players all with deployed shields headglitching would be pure hell!
I do think this game could have a lot of exploits attributed to the fundamental design and that's something that simply can't just be patched out or changed easily when it's nailed down like the health regen.
