::As a whole a great trailer, and the maps/settings in particular look gorgeous, and I've always wanted a BF game set between BF4 and 2142 to help fill in the timeline. As for weapon and vehicle stuff, I'm incredibly happy it's all very grounded and believable, instead of using "near future" as an excuse to fictionalize (read: make copyright-friendly) all the weapons and vehicles like MW19 did. Like, as with the Abrams and such I fully expect "fictional future upgrades", but that's totally fine and fits the setting; the ''design intent'' behind "what X might look like in 20 years" and "cheap knockoff of X" are very different. Now we just have to wait and see proper gameplay to see how all the reload animations and technical details of the weapons hold up, but given they've been consistently great since BF3 a decade ago (and especially stellar since BF4's CTE), and how grounded 2042 seems to be staying, I don't see reason to worry. About Specialists, gameplay-wise the change seems fine, though I'm not thrilled about being forced to use named characters; I'd much prefer BFV's simple, fully customizable sex/face/outfit-parts setup.

:::It was definitely very interesting. I was not expecting the game to take place this far in the future, I thought it would be like a late-2020s setting. But, looks like a good place to have a mix of real and fictional weapons and emerging technologies playing a big role. The maps look really neat and diverse, the major weather events seem very interesting, and the backstory intrigued me and has potential for some good lore and worldbuilding. --[[User:PyramidHead|PyramidHead]] ([[User talk:PyramidHead|talk]]) 18:41, 9 June 2021 (EDT) | :::It was definitely very interesting.

Thoughts on the trailer?
So the trailer came out today and it looks pretty awesome. Reckon COD 2021 is in trouble. --JackalUnderscore (talk) 16:48, 9 June 2021 (EDT)
- I liked it, thought I'm not really sure about some of the gameplay changes they made for the classes/specialists. --Bob juan santos
