I really didn't much care for it regarding all the hype and right up until that unveiling had no real plans of returning to the series. However, it is one of my favorite series of all time and in spite of it's $70 price tag and EA's shittiness in general as a company some things have got me considering it. For one the robust support for custom game modes and the inclusion of the upgraded map editing tools, the possibilities for tailoring servers to a more old school "hardcore" ruleset, and perhaps most impressive of all: FINALLY DITCHING EA'S BULLSHIT CLIENT REQUIREMENT.

So yeah by the time it releases I will probably be well on my way to rebuilding my savings and I would be lying if I didn't say the idea of playing a better version of BF4 doesn't sound VERY enticing.

Also I am a sucker for the unmatched environmental destruction. Also as someone that always loved playing a medic/support role I do really love that slick new ability to drag downed teammates to safety.

I will probably be skipping the open beta and waiting for a broader consensus when it is in the hands of the public but this will also be the first time I actually have a rig that can run a battlefield game at its full potential since Battlefield 2142 (Which if they ever give a proper sequel to I will 100% buy no matter what).

So how about the rest of you all? Anyone else kinda sold on it especially given we won't have to fuck with the stupid Origin nonsense for the first time in nearly two decades?

No Origin does sound good. but unless this becomes THE game among people I play with I see no reason to waste any more money or time on EA.

Yeah hence I am sort of trying to gauge how many folks I would actually want to play shooty war sims with actually might pick it up. I have to admit it does look pretty damn good and like they are earnestly listening to fans again. Once again if they ever make a proper successor to 2142 especially if they bring back commander role and Titan mode they can just take my fuckin money.

I have wasted too much of my time on Planetside 2 in the hope that another 2142 showed up. One can only hope. I get my DAKKA DAKKA fix from Hell let loose, but one can only hope that BF6 will bring something new and better to the table. Once again, I'll bide my time with this one. And hope I get to throw my money and time on another 2142 before I am too old to game.

A fellow cultured comrade. BF2 was amazing as the other comrade stated but 2142 was true Peak Battlefield.
