Interesting find. The concept art is suggested to be Gibraltar. Which is confirmed by Battlefield leaker Tom Henderson.
Tom also responds in the same X thread to the question about the era in which the game is set that it will be 2027.
An interview with some promising info, some screenshots etc. and EA’s getting people hyped all over again. Sad.

Until I see a real anti-cheat, Server Browser, Persistent Servers and other missing features I'm not interested.

I'll base everything off the beta. I'm going to treat the beta as the finished product we'll get at release.

I feel the need to point out that prior to BF2042 we were told they were going back to BF4. So don't be surprised if this is not true!

@cso7777True, especially since they said they have been playing the new game nearly daily for well over a year already (their own words), you'd expect by the time the play-test comes there are no more excuses.
I remain cautious, I won't pre-order and I also won't buy at launch. I want to see the reviews of critics and players first before I consider buying.
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. - cso777711 months agoSeasoned Ace@RanzigeRidder2 I understand your feelings about buying/pre-ordering, especially after 2042.
But if they deliver a play-test like Delta Force did (quality-wise) and the game-mechanics seems generally ok, I fear that I will be weak and pre-order the game once again... - RanzigeRidder211 months agoLegend@cso7777 It's not just BF2042, I already didn't pre-order BFV after the whole run up to that game with Patrik Soderland and his attitude towards the community. I ended up buying that game at launch still, and while it was not the best in the series I was enjoying it with my friends and platoon. Until EA pulled the plug early, and as such breaking their tides of war promise.
So despite the fancy promises (love letter blah blah) and a good trailer, I didn't buy BF2042 at launch, and am still glad I didin't. I picked it up at a discount more than half a year after release. Since then they improved the game a lot, but still it's not up to Battlefield standards.
Therefore they will have to earn my trust again for the next title. - GrizzGolf11 months agoSeasoned Ace
Hope for real gameplay in trailer as well.
- Lady_One11 months agoNew Ace@OskooI_007 While I doubt this will happen again, I think it's worth noting that the 2042 open beta was better than release - in the beta spread was okish, however they probably overcorrected to critique of guns being too accurate and made almost everything so inaccurate that you couldn't hit anyone past spitting distance.

Although I will admit I had fun doing some bunny hopping with McKay before that got nerfed, lol.
The guns in 2042 have been the most-lasery guns I can recall in the series. A good majority of the automatic weapons allow you to maintain aim while firing up to medium range without requiring micro-bursts (like in BF4) and guns would get out of control pretty quickly in BF1 and BF5.
- Lady_One11 months agoNew Ace@Anobix At launch, the guns had ridiculously high spread, except for the PP-29. This was not comparable to any previous battlefield game or anything like that, it was way too much. It was fixed after a few weeks of course, but was incredibly bad nonetheless. There's still some videos of it around (barring bad hitreg alongside it).

We don't know yet when the playtest will be and what it will look like, but for those who are interested in potentially participating here's a useful link where you can signup for future EA Playtests: https://www.ea.com/playtesting

I mean you can just spray with some LMGs and they feel like lasers to me

Was going to say the same thing, the first couple weapons I T1d were the LCMG and the PKP, they were practically assault rifles with 200 round magazines. And the K30 was bananas at the start as well for almost all ranges.
