Very curious to hear what people at Gaf think.

Also, which platform do you think will retain the most playerbase? Or does this not matter since the game will support crossplay?

I'm going to be getting it on PC but would like to see where other people will be playing it on!

Yes, I'm getting the Gold version and will be playing this Friday. I'll be playing on PS5, but if some friends who don't have PS5 want to play, then I will also download and play PS4 version.

Can't wait to play the new maps and return to classic ones in Portal. This looks fun as hell:


Also note that this is upscaled from a terribly compressed 720p video on Twitter.

Game seems like a technical cluster bomb.
And with too many broken gameplay issues.
Not risking my money on this game, not at release.
There's a good chance it'll be heavily discounted a month or two after release.

Waiting for reviews.

If I do buy, it’ll be on PS5 if the triggers are used well. I’ll buy on Series X only if PS5’s performance is subpar.
 
PC OFC, Trying to play BF on another platform is a bad time!

I'll try it on the XSX if it's on gamepass but prolly won't even stick around even if it was.

I used to play Battlefield 3 on PS3 back in the day, and I don't mean to boast but I was pretty darn good with the controller back then...






Nowadays, I just can't go back to controller for FPS... no matter how much I try, it feels very clunky for me.

I tried the betas on both Series X and Ps5. Series X seems a little cleaner, so Xbox it is.

I have doubts though, so I probably won’t preorder. DICE has a record of day 1 jank.

Pre ordered the Cross Gen Gold edition for Xbox, so will get current and last gen. Interested in playing on Xbox One X as if there are loads of hackers that version only has cross play between last gen consoles.
 
I planned on getting it but Forza and Halo will eat all my time so I'm not so sure anymore. Will play the Gamepass trial for a day or two and then decide.

Cancelled my preorder after that Beta.
I`ll wait how this game turns out with a few patches under its belt. I´m also not too sure if I like the general design with the specialists and the very limited destructability.
If I get the game at all it will be on PC, though.

I'm just going to get game pass trial . Play the 10 hours to see what its like and complete Halo campaign for £1. Then maybe purchase it if I enjoy it after I'm done with FF14 endwalkers main story.

Beta soured me hard on the game. Then I went back and tried Battlefield 1 on EA play and realized Battlefield formula in general as far as their recent games concerned isn't doing it for me anymore whatsoever. I have more fun with shooters like cod, halo, fortnite nowadays.

Mega hyped for Factions 2 also.
