For those of you worried about this, supposedly we will have an option to turn off all character customization locally on your client. David Sirland mentioned it in discord, and another DICE guy hinted we will know more at EAplay on twitter. Can't wait! Sounds like it will be similar to the option we had in Hardline.

Thank god! I was really bummed with all the syfy cancellations this year.

Come on Axle, you know you want to drive tanks for us! Who will drive in your absence?! A tank just isn't the same without an Axlerod inside.

Hahah i'd never seen that flamethrower horse before, thats great

Not sure it was mechanical, unless i missed her moving it. It's just attached to her shoulder and she used it to steady her swing/aim. Reddit likes to over react. Battlefield likes to reach for those unknown or lesser used things and bring it into their games, the prosthetic is just another example of that. The teddy bear actually bothered me more than the woman's arm, but having a couple goofy customization options isn't going to break the game in my opinion, as long as they don't go even crazier. I'll put up with it for the sake of everyone not looking the same. We finally got character customization! woohoo! EDIT: Okay after looking again, what are the weird wires on her arm? Mech arms are too far, maybe it's just for the war story and not a multiplayer customization. We can hope.

Sounds like they are taking a lot of the things from past hardcore modes and putting it into the normal game. Here's some more info. -Support class can build offensive fortifications, repair damaged fortifications and builds all fortifications faster. All other classes can only build defensive fortifications. -No longer fully regen to 100% hp, you now need to find a med pack to heal to full. As an example if you take 90% damage you may only heal to 30% of your full life. -You now have to interact with medic/ammo crates to receive healing or ammo. -No more 3d spotting or shooting at floating orange triangles. -Everyone has less ammo overall, but you can build supply depot fortifications at flags you own. -No more revive trains, it now takes a few seconds to revive somebody as it goes through an animation. -You can now drag your dead friends to cover to revive them. -Any class can revive within a squad, but if you aren't a medic it takes much longer and you won't come back at full life. -If you are dead you can pan your camera and call for help. -No more visual recoil or random recoil. Each gun has a set recoil pattern you can learn. -Bullet penetration, shooting people through walls. -Sprinting while crouching. -You can catch and throw back grenades, or shoot them out of the air. -You can tow around stationary guns, and your buddy can use it while you tow it around. -When you die, you can now see what your squad is doing before you spawn on them. Hopefully less spawning in to be instantly killed. -Heavy weapon pickups, like BF4. -No more elite classes or behemoths. -Class, vehicle and gun specialization, sounds like a RPG game with skill trees. -Skill trees will have "exotic" archetypes, specializing in something that you do very well. The example given was a Recon paratrooper that uses an SMG and silenced weapons, and throwing knives. -Squads now earn points that the squad leader can use to call in things such as a V-1 rocket. I have a feeling the RSP will still be meh like BF1, but with all the info that dropped I'll definitely be buying it. All my disappointment is gone after seeing things like the old conquest system, and the recoil fix. Should make the gunplay much better than BF1.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't enjoy this era of gunplay if it's really another world war setting, disappointing.

Thanks for the info guys, the 23rd can't come soon enough!

I personally ping 120ish all the time to the TAC server because I'm on the west coast. We have the ping soft lock feature turned off for 100 ping.

Wow.. how is that even fun?

VIA Twitter: 2 options for soft locking, and Patch is tomorrow July 20th!

I hope the ping kicker is adjustable or optional

Best i got was 244, I imagine my already high latency factors into my score a lot

This is great news! It's going to change the dynamics of the game up a lot!

Who wants to Joust?!
