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?

Yeah I am certainly in the wait and see camp and as I said before they announced it would not require Origin I wasn't even considering it but now it's a definite "eventually". Just waiting to see if they can launch it in a functional state. If they are doing away with Origin I have hopes for a proper server browser.

I'd love to not have additional launchers, but now that my gaming PC is too old to do current games justice, I'd be playing on PS5, and I still hate the idea of logging on to third-party systems to play games, both for my own sake and because it sets bad precedents for everyone else.

I don't miss Call of Duty at all, but I miss the old Black Ops (1) days where there were actual dedicated servers for any online games.

Looks like there actually will be a server browser again this go around too. It's maybe a nice indicator of a sea change of sorts.
