Jack Frags (and others, I assume) got to spend a little pre-launch trailer time at Dice, and got a bunch of extra info, insight and gameplay details that he shares in this video:

One of the 4 (of 10) Specialists revealed is Wikus “Casper” Van Daele, a South African recon specialist:

Text details that correspond to the Jack Frags info if you prefer:

Amazed that they didn’t call it Battlefield 2048, what a missed opportunity.

13th you mean?

Why? A movie or something? 2042 was used coz all they use 42 for most of their other year titled games.
1942, 2142, 2042

They have always supported factors of 8. Server player bases being 32, 64, and now 128.

Anyway, just thought it funny. Maybe just me then, yeah, just me…

Yip, that’s what I’m seeing too. It’ll be included in the E3 Xbox & Bethesda Showcase on Sunday.


It’ll be on Game Pass through EA Play eventually, I’d imagine. Just really interesting that they’re doing the gameplay reveal during the Xbox event… Dare we imagine a Game Pass launch on Day 1?

Lol daasit nou… the only thing that can make me buy this game(after discount :sweat_smile:)… My BF5 is sitting mostly untouched coz my friends stopped playing. I don’t like playing these games alone so I shelved it.

Clearly it’ll have to be you. “Captain Kelvin”. Has a nice ring to it. I salute you, Sir.

I’ll be the medic who gets to shoot that healer gun at teammates. That way, my shitty aim and friendly fire will be of some use. :grinning:

I usually play medic, so… I guess assault for me then.

Died in COD4, where he hoped to fade into a myth, that no one believed.

I’ll be the guy with the LMG so when I miss my shots, I can just say I’m suppressing

I wonder if this means that cheats and hacks will be out before the game even releases.

This seems fake (the trailer tracking on the edge of the screen is janky and there is no motion blur from the camera movement) but still very good! :joy:

Here’s the Gameplay Trailer shown in the Xbox E3 event:

one game that I will definitely never play on a console. Otherwise looks good so far, like the Crysis style attachment changing thing, although in BF4 you got like tons of attachments per weapon, so I am curious to know if you get like a “loadout” type thing where you can actually only select a few attachments to take with you when spawning, and only when dead can you fully customize it, that would make the most sense to me.

I guess we don’t know yet if there will be dedicated servers in South Africa yet?

Nothing confirmed that I can find anywhere, but I would probably press X on that one, at least initially.
