Reactions from you!!!

2042!!! That's cool! It's not a 2142 sequel, but it's leaning slightly into that idea, and the futuristic aspect will certainly satisfy some 2142 cravings. I hope 2042 will have more complex gameplay like Bf2 and Bf2142 do (as opposed to the last couple of Bf games, which which dumbed the game design down into utter blandness).

By the way, just about all the maps I saw in the trailer are obviously playing on themes for Bf3 and Bf4 maps. A list of their Bf3 / Bf4 counterparts can be named. I was pretty unhappy when I saw the very start of the new trailer, because it looked obviously like Damavand Peak, and so I thought it was a Bf3 remake... and I really don't like Bf3 (boring, small, uninspired maps). I love Bf4, though, and it's maybe my second-favourite Bf after Bf2 (though, 1942 is also a contender for my second-favourite game in the series).

From the trailer, it seems they know they've lost a lot of people with Bf1 and Bf5, and they're trying to get them back by basically refreshing what Bf3 and Bf4 did - but surely with a lot of changes, too. I hope they're for the better (because most-all of Bf1 and Bf5's game design changes weren't).

While EA and DICE aimed to recapture the sensations of Bf3 and Bf4 with this trailer, I hope that there will be plenty of maps that aren't clearly derivative (whether in layout style, or visual style) of Bf3 and Bf4 maps.

I'll add, the weather disaster thing right now doesn't interest me, just as the Behemoths in Bf1 didn't and don't (though, the Behemoths handed one team an unfair boost, so might not be completely analogous). I'm sure there will be, but I'll say it anyway: There had better be a server option to turn them off.

Overall, I'm excited for this, and I haven't been excited by Battlefield in a very long time. I hope the game will show a return to the more complex and sophisticated design sensibilities that were abandoned by DICE in their recent games.
