How many threads for this game I won't play =p

From looking at the trailer, it seems like the "story" from which most of the controversy stems is but one of several.  Rather than backtracking, it really looks like the initial mistake was taking that one "story" and trying to turn it into the focal point.  I get the impression that it was a big PR move rather than a development move.  They were likely looking for brownie points from the Polygons and Eurogamers of the world--which they'll probably get, to be honest.  I think this will be one of those instances where PR screwed things up for a good product.

Nope. Looks as if they aren't really changing anything, their just purposely focusing on the non controversial stuff to try and hook you regardless. It's a nice magic trick but the point is still the unseen.

That looks a good deal better than what was shown in previous trailers.

It's no secret that I have a huge problem with how DICE handled E3 and subsequent interviews, but there are some positives nonetheless. I think they are EA is getting it together with Battlefield. That delay was a great move to not be titanfalled 2'ed, and this trailer, along with the (Rotterdam one) were a good improvement.

Alongside that, EA is now giving all DLC for Battlefield 1 for free (to keep forvever) for a limited time.

Although I'm not buying it, I'll use my friend's EA access to play the campaign, cause I really like the Battlefield 1 campaign.
