Doesn't seem like much has been revealed yet, we'll have to wait for that cover story to hit.

battlefield with pixar/tf2-esque art design is quite win imo.

*rimshot*

But really, its a cool idea and a good fit if they want to go back to BF42 style gameplay (as in planes that go less than several hundred miles an hour and no guided missiles).

Oh God Pesh. Oh god. Memories. Flooding.

I just can't get over that guy's face/chin. It's so... so... tasty.

The one thing I really don't like about it is that it's built around Microtransactions. **** that. Having played DICE's previous games of BF2 / '42, let's just say their gaming balance isn't exactly good (translation: it ****ing sucks). I don't like the idea of having to constantly pay for weapons / mods / vehicles / whatever in order to avoid playing at a disadvantage.

This model has always struck me as a way to just nickel and dime the shit out of customers.

The new art-style made me LOL, but what surprises me about this (so far) is what it doesn't have.

• It doesn't have in-game advertisements, instead they "will appear on the website and the 'front-end' of the game"
• Giving EA money doesn't give you better weapons but "items which customise (your) appearance in the world"
• It doesn't have high system requirements, "You will be able to play this game on grandma's laptop" <- an exaggeration I'm sure, but still.
• It doesn't need as much skill (compared to the other Battlefield games).
• And because of the new business model EA can't abandon the project if it has issues.

I love the idea, and I'm actually glad EA did this. And now we know it isn't copying TF2. (It's copying Army Men )

 

[Lucid]

So it's going to be an American version of Warrock? :|

 

[Direwolf]

Who knows. And they could of course make this an abusive system (pay-per-bullet), or they could keep it contained to more appropriate things (lol check it out im Winston Churchill with a machine gun).

 

[Solaris]

looks wank

 

[Stigmata]

lol check it out im Winston Churchill with a machine gun

I would seriously pay for a game that did this.
