With each day i'm serious thinking on asking for my money back. And taking in consideration i bought with focus on the portal itself.

Given that a given match is going to have a half dozen or so of her, using them is hardly unusual anyway.

Battlefield 2042 features series' first non-binary character

...because nothing says hard-core future warrior more than the term "non-binary".

Just had a thought - maybe stormtroopers were all non-binary hence the unisex armour and their inability to actually hit anything.

That was probably the gayest commercial I have seen for anything war-related.

Getting you pumped through trailers is a long last art nowadays. Everything is so bland, boring and filled with zoomer humor that not even zoomers enjoy. The video don't even have the iconic music.


Still get chills watching this.

because old trailers were trying to sell you the idea, now they're ads for shit products whose only chance is to cheat the biggest amount of retards into buying by stroking egos.

btw, why does pirates of the caribbean stole that trailer's music?

Just lol at their latest trailer. You would think they make a trailer to actually sell the game, but nope. First off scripted, gameplay just looks fake. Enemies are just standing around waiting to get shotgunned to death. But the funniest thing is the helicopter scene. As soon as that starts the game drops to sub 20 FPS in performance. Unbelieve they actually used this footage to promote the game. It makes me think that EA and DICE (and Nvidia) actually don't care about this game, it's just some quick cashgrab and the real dev-team is working on something else.

For such a tech-focused video marketed to people who have 20/30 series GPUs, you'd think they'd release it with better encoding and a higher resolution than fucking 1080p. I get that RT ambient occlusion is difficult to showcase but an on/off comparison would have been nice.

Also the frame rate is horrendous. These features will be nice on next year's hardware I guess.

Like I said, there is no effort behind it. Which makes me think this is far off something that would be a flagship title... or maybe the industry have become so bad now that you don't even need to try. Everyone buys the game anyway.

Just seems weird. I don't see allurement of having WW2 men and vehicles going against modern equipment. I'm too much of a autist for that. And I can play the other games(factions) and maps cheaper and better already, on a stable engine.

If you had to do something silly like that, it would be better to just re-imagine WW2 nations with equipment from some other era, not having it be WW2 vs. 2020.

It's a shame that Battlefield went into the toilet after BF2. A remaster of it with Bad Company 2 destruction would be good fun.

let me give you a more apt rephrasing: "ww2 vs future is plenty retarded".
the more i learn about this game, the farther i want it to stay from me. hell, thinking i was even planning to buy it, just for the hope it'd be a "sequel" to 2142. instead, it's a sequel to down syndrome.
