This should be exciting to most of us, and I know I am personally. Which is weird (due to EA's recent history, specifically in the Battlefield series), but I'm curious to see if EA has potential in themselves to make not only the reveal of MP a success, but the game overall; Or it might just become an over-hyped catastrophe. I also feel that this is extremely early for MP, considering that the game was revealed approximately a month ago. Who knows, this is a two-way street.

Just other minor sources regarding the (same) topic:

They've likely been working on the game for a while. It's been 3 years since BF4 came out after all.

Wanting to show off the mp this early though indicates that EA and DICE are confident in their product. Hopefully it doesn't crash and burn on stage.

Never been a fan of Battlefield but this one actually piques my interest.

Like E3 '13 where they couldn't get the audio to work?

Anyway, I'm super excited for this. Get hype.

Sounds like it'll be more of a LAN MP gameplay reveal. God knows when they'll have decent netcode.

Battlefield 4 and Battlefront have top tier netcode I don't see why those technologies won't be carried over.

Battlefront plays fine.

As long as they carry over what they learned from BF4, there is no cause for concern about BF1

Was Hardline in good condition in rehards to netcode on launch? I remember the beta being pretty good but I neverbought it.

I suppose they might have improved it since then. Pre-CTE BF4 and BF3 (and to an extent BC2) all had lackluster or frankly terrible hit detection.

BF4 now has really good hit detection and overall netcode. It was pretty awful at launch but Dice LA really did wonders with the game. Shame 343 didn't ever fix MCC like DICE did.

Is this a joke? Bf4 still has shit code and hit detection, the gunplay suffers massively. Bf3 is still the superior game

My angus is ready

Better see some tri-plane and calvary charges or I will be assmad

Mattie G Indahouse · June 05, 2016, 05:19:41 AM

I'm wonder how fast the tanks will be. In real life you can run faster than them which means gameplay wise they will be too slow to have any enjoyment out of.

The game does have horses in it.

Well they weren't MBTs back then, they were for driving across no man's land without being turned into a bloody mess

Combined with needing a full crew to operate effectively and relying on side-mounted cannons/ machine guns, they'll be closer to LAVs in the current game but a lot slower. They won't be filling the same role as tanks in other Battlefields.
