Oh I was wondering where it went.
This would of been a better trailer to release first I reckon, save all the blowback. Im not gonna play the SP anyway but at least the MP "looks" decent, yet to see gameplay though.
I got some more info from a dev. Keep in mind it's still wip so really anything could happen between here and release:
Hitbox damage multiplier is getting reworked in a way to make those annoying and unfortunate limb shots less problematic for every weapon (especially slug shotguns and bolt action rifles). Current thinking is arm -> head = head damage. arm -> body = body damage, arm -> body -> head = body damage, leg -> body -> head = body damage, leg -> body = body damage.
I think this is a reasonable way to go about it, and hopefully it impacts gunplay in a positive way. Slug users rejoice!
Monte crappa is still shit in ops after all this time. We were steamrolling majority of the map then we got to the second to last bit where one guy kept nabbing the anti tank kit and sitting in the bunker where no one could get him. Couldn't kill him at all, and our tanks were being chewed up as soon as they spawned. And thanks to the bunker getting 4 AA guns, the blimp was down before it could even reach a single point.
Monte Grappa, aka "that one sector with the 3 objectives that you'll never get through"
I want Canadian skins for the Allies.
I wonder if they'll have customizable voices as well.
Glad to see you guys are using the same shitty logo I made in 3 minutes using Gimp for the OP.
Just read more changes. The Kar98K will only have 12 shots in reserve. Going to miss picking support to spawn on a squadmate whos 400M away from objectives with 4-3 for 20 minutes and throwing smokes all over them to push them up.

If you can't be bothered watching this:
Burton LMR (normal ammo and incendiary ammo, inc ammo deals more damage to air vehicles and less against infantry)
M1911 Silenced side arm
Annihilator Storm (less recoil, worse hipfire accuracy)
Frommer Stop Auto for Assault
C93 Carbine, C96 Carbine, FN1903 Extended, P08 Artillery, M1911 Extended, Pieper M1893 for Support
Shock Operations
Is there a benefit of running the general at bolt instead of semi auto?
it's got a different damage model so it hits like a regular bolt action rifle rather than a self loader apparently
no alpha key feelsbadman, hopefully i wake up to a key tomorrow if they do more waves, or hope i get one from a giveaway
it was only 10gb preload
Got one, just happened to be checking my email when it was in my spam folder.
I won a key on the Battlefield stream on Twitch, it feels great! Didn't you win a code too Jelman? Someone with the same username won one during the stream.
found out i got a key but i am away from my computer until it starts. hopefully i will be able to download it quick, i want to play after work
Got a key out of nowhere. Thought EA was telling me someone was trying to hijack my account again
got nothing
Damn, you guys got lucky.
Honestly, just my experience for the past three games:
Building stuff is okay'ish. Not many people do it though.
You currently cannot modify weapons to remove scopes. It's fucking infuriating. Namely because the Medic has a choice between a semi-auto rifle with a 4x or SMG.
Bullets hurt. Like, knocks 50% ~ 60% HP per hit hurt.
Bombers are nerfed and utterly useless.
The recoil system is very much like Rising Storm. If you can keep the barrel down, you'll kill the world.
Tanks are boring as fuck.
Something called "archetypes" which basically dictates what you get, instead of just letting you customize on your own. Basically, predefined kits for each class.
Medics who do their jobs are a bigger unicorn then BF4.
The current aircraft are much slower on turns.
AA-Guns are nerfed.
Emplacement guns are sorta dogshit, and most people seem to just troll by moving them into terrible positions.
I can go on. It's not a bad game, but goddamn does this CA not make me want it.
I've noticed I have to pay a lot more attention when playing medic, which I'm hoping they do something to make it more obvious (but not too obvious).
Overall I see absolutely no reason to preorder it, though it still seems like a solid game.
Guys it's an alpha. It's a very early preview designed to test their backend services. I wouldn't draw too many conclusions until the open beta comes out.
