    Another exciting trailer, that team kills it every time.

    Looks like the devs are listening, the map looks really solid.

      @Adamonic 

      Yep, the team that makes those trailers are crushing it.

      All in all, I am looking forward to the upcoming season content, map looks solid, new vehicle and specialist looks interesting, and I can't wait to get my hands on the new/vault weapons particularly the new LMGs 👿

        It looks like we are heading into the new season with the most active players (on SteamCharts) than we have had leading up to any previous season:


        S1 - average of 2K players before S1 dropped
        S2 - average of 5k players at end of S1

        S3 - average of 5300 players at end of S2

        S4 - currently averaging around 7600 players to end S3

        If they can get up to averaging 10K again like they did early in S3, that would be nice. This really helps when you are trying to find a server. 

        With how brutally bad the "other" game is, BF has a chance to gain back some extra players.

      @Adamonic Obviously haven't played it yet but like Stranded, Spearhead and Exposure it looks like there's going to be large parts of the new map that I'll probably never play.

    @Ironhead841That Hourglass 2.0 tease though.

    Discarded update looks quite nice too. Many good changes are coming for that map.

    Other than that, season 4 is looking solid. The weapons look great. Map looks fantastic. With my bias towards desert maps and my past love for Kharg Island, this map tickles all the right places.

    Although I'm still confused as to why Brawler is a thing. Upgrading MAV and making another vehicle would've been much better

      @UP_LordPlumber All the info I've seen the only similarity to the MAV I can tell is that it can carry multiple passengers.

        @Tank2042Man It's quite similar in most ways. Driver has no guns. Many passenger guns, the ability to spot everything around you + the ability to spawn your team. Sounds like a MAV now?

        But on top of that, you get
        1 - APS
        2 - TOR's incoming damage alert
        3 - Bolte's AOE Grenade launcher
        4 - Squad can spawn even its full

      It sounds like the Brawler will be a unique vehicle in the same vein as the TOR isn't just "another tank" but I guess we'll all find out in a few days now.

        @Ironhead841 One thing we learned when the game came out… EA and Dice can make one hell of a trailer. Now if they could only make a game that measures up to the trailers…. We’d be stoked! I think the trailers are better than the game is.

    @Ironhead841 There was very little new info in that video. When it was over, I thought “Wait, what?! That’s it??”
