@@Willyracoon-vn2qq I rewatched the launch trailer 2042 and most of the models in the trailer looked like actual soldiers I only saw a couple of the specialists and I was wondering why couldn’t they just use those models in the trailer
Yeah, all was got was the same old same old multiplayer slogfest. I was looking forward to an actual campaign, but nooooo. That was too much to ask for.
Pac being the MVP in this short film. Clearly disagrees with and is more than likely disappointed in Irish, but sacrifices himself regardless to save Irish's son. What a legend.
2042 had the potential to be something that would forever be remembered as one of the greatest games in history. The lore, the hype and loyal community supporting it, 3 years if development time, 3 AAA teams, and no campaign to worry about. They had all the resources to make this truly remarkable...it's a shame.
They honestly didn't have all the resources. They had to spend a ton of time updating to the new engine that nobody was familiar with because a lot of the old devs (BF1 and earlier) had left the company for Embark Studios in early 2018. EA pushed those devs out by restricting creative freedom, and this is the price they pay. EA should have allowed dice to delay the game, but instead we got an unfinished game.
Man i play 2042 since launch, and game is actually good now, but coming back to watch this trailer now.. maaan the potential of this game to the best in the series, the potential of creating the best campaign in the series...the music, atmosphere, grittiness...why the hell we didn't get this type of a game???
I believe in my opinion is because the reason why the game shattered into pieces at first launch is because I'm pretty sure that they were working on the campaign but then till the actor of Irish's death suddenly happened before launch, I feel like they've most likely suffered with severe damage to how much work they were bringing in the game that they had to remove the development of the campaign, the pandemic made them suffer too but I think the reason why they were rushing to bring the game out is because the fans were telling them to release it early and now everyone's complaining. "I'm just saying this as in my opinion so I may be wrong but I may have a point there"
@@mhk.420 I recently brought it, the game ain't that bad as far as I know, it's mainly just the animations that get a bit buggy sometimes when you get into the match, but just remember that they fixed most things and is playable now, pretty sure they're still working on other fixes
I’m surprised no one is talking about the dinosaur. Seeing that was more nostalgic than anything, made me remember all the people going nuts over a possible dino mode lol.
@『Recker』 Do you see Irish Voice? Thats him, its his voice actor. He's a really well known actor out there, a recent example was The Wire, where he was one of the main characters if im not bad.
I'm gonna be honest Battlefield 2042's story is the GREATEST one in the whole series, the sheer concept of a shattered world is chilling But god was the execution TERRIBLE
@@DanilloBRSGGames pac dies there only if you don't give the detonator to anyone so seems like the canon choice is to give it to hannah so both irish and pac live
They should've done a campaign with Irish being the main playable character and the story about being a No-Pat with multiple endings. 1. if he chooses to side with the US or 2. side with the Russian Federation or better 3. questioning and going againt the Not-Pat ideology as a extreme flawed way to survive a ultimate natural disaster.

But he was also killed in BF4 (unless Hannah is a medic that doesn't know how to check someone pulse). Hannah on the other hand was MIA. She was never actually killed
F for Pac. He was such a good character in Battlefield4, to see him again here was amazing and for him to save Irish,his son, and sacrifice himself was breathtaking. I will miss him dearly.
the fact in bf4 he "unfucked" himself from a situation nobody else could have, always felt to me like there was a plan for a future game to have him be a turncoat. So that still feels like a confusing moment now that we're just gonna have to write off to him being rambo.
Everyone's talking about how they're glad Irish is back and how they hope this game is gonna turn out amazing or wishing for a campaign but no one is talking about how Pac got riddled with bullets.
How Irish didn't get riddled with bullets hiding behind a thin car door that even cops know provides no cover? They could've moved the character a little to the left to get behind the engine block(like real soldiers would do).
@@dakoderii4221 1. He was hiding behind the engine block at first, which is already known to stop bullets. 2. People tend not to shoot/waste ammunition if they can't see their target (Thanks, Active Self Protection lol)
Straight goosebumps when I seen Irish. Even without a campaign it’s nice to see direction and why this is all happening. Almost low key makes me want a single player.
Nice prequel, but hinting at something that isn't realy in the game, or isn't there like this short-movie, because there is no "singleplayer story-campaign", that's not a good move! Realy hope they change their mind. Maybe a separate mini-show, 10 episodes like the Teaser...
I just discovered today that the voice if Irish passed away recently. It's sad to find out that we'll never hear his voice again in future Battlefield projects, but Irish is a lovable character. I enjoyed his company during the Battlefield 4 campaign. Rest well Michael K. Williams. Thank you for bringing your incredible voice for an amazing character!
The story is always a hypothetical of future wars or how past wars lead to future wars like ww1/2 but the stories are really good minus no one paying attention to them
I come back here once a day to remember what an awesome actor Michael K. Williams was I will always remember him as Omar from “The Wire” and Irish from “Battlefield 4” RIP Mr. Williams, you will never be forgotten
Makes me wonder if they had data tracking to see that Hannah was chosen the most where if Irish was chosen more then Hannah would've been in the story instead
yeah, he went full circle in that scene. He's a combat medic, but he saved a life not with a bandage or scalpel, but with a bullet, like a soldier in the heat of battle would.
@@solomonmcdougle9657 Oh yeah, which is why they've made sure to add Bots to the game, so when its dead on arrival, your games wont feel totally empty..
Man, at this point, y'all should make a movie. Like a full blown movie. Don't let Hollywood take this title and make a movie out of it. Y'all should handle it.

“Recker, take my gun. It’s yours now.” -Ssgt Dunn Most memorable line for me in battlefield campaigns with 2nd place being: “Standby. 3 2 1 SUPPRESSING!”
@@dedmanzombie is battlefield 3 even tied into this? Seems like they started the story line with battlefield 4, which would be a shame because battlefield 3’s campaign was much better
It would've been a better ending. The story portrayed in this short was so illogical and cookie cutter action nonsense that I'm actually surprised by the amount of people thinking it's so amazing.. but in this day and age, give people flashy lights and they will eat up anything.
If this trailer was more like the game: *PAC dies Webster walks up to Irish like: “Well well, that was fun” Angel shows up and faces Irish: “Don’t be sad, that’s just how it works out sometimes”
This makes me sad and happy at the same time, sad that we don't get to experience this in a campaign. But happy that we still get it in the form of this short film, hope there's more coming. Good to see Irish and Pac again, even if it was only for a few minutes. RIP Pac, at least you didn't die to that song and were able to fight until your last breath.
07:32 Pac’s not only broken the handcuffs but somehow also has managed to find a sniper rifle. Respecy my dude. Did you really have to kill him off, Dice? :(
In the written story/article thing (The one you'll find in the community tab, check it out it's really good and brightens a lot about the story) where that journalist explains what is going on because he travels with the No-Pats around the world, he wrote that he freed Pac because he saw in his eyes, that he wanted to fight for the good.
Agreed! I’m cool if they do a short annual TV series like this where there have weekly episodes. I wonder how long it would take to make just one, including this teaser

Oh man that would've made this game so much better. I could hear Irish talking about the events that happened back in Battlefield 4, while we get a flashback of the campaign
Kinda feel like they messed up not having a single player after watching this but I’m sure they got a great way to tell the story thru hazard zone. I am too pumped up for this game lol
@@CarterMyt05 Battlefield was best without campaign. Battlefield 1942, Battlefield 2, 2142 are marked as the best of all time and none of them had a campaign to speak of. Its unbelievably satisfying to see them finally return to their roots. I literally shed tears watching this I'm so happy.
No no no you can’t just throw Pac and Irish in like that without any warning that’s as amazing my heart skipped a beat when I saw them and I was in complete shock
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the production quality of this trailer? Everything from the acting, the tone, environments, and not the least of these, the sound engineering.
I love how this short film reveals that BF 2042 is the sequel to BF 4, And how this story involves Irish and Pac even if some people aren't familiar with BF 4's campaign.
It was Garrisons speech: Warriors on the Valkyrie. I know we’re tired. All of us have suffered-lost friends, loved ones. We will ensure it was not in vain. The storm has grounded enemy aircraft, but it won’t be for long. We may be the only ship left, but we will not go down without a fight.”
This whole scene reminded me of the boat mission when they dropped down on the ship. Nice to see the old characters back. Too bad for pak death. But where is recker?
@@mateusvin some think the villain over the comms oz. Is recker which would be interesting. I'm kinda hoping yes and no that being the case cuz recker, Irish and pak was apart of the same team once and the fact that pak called Irish a traitor makes me think recker is oz.

@@TwoEzey I know it was auto correct lol
he could survive if he hid
the fact in bf4 he "unfucked" himself from a situation nobody else could have, always felt to me like there was a plan for a future game to have him be a turncoat.
So that still feels like a confusing moment now that we're just gonna have to write off to him being rambo.
Whoever composed the music at the last 20 or so seconds of this video needed to do the entire soundtrack, instead of the mess we ended up getting.
I was thinking the exact same thing from the begining!
@Dystopic aura nah. You serious??
Everyone's talking about how they're glad Irish is back and how they hope this game is gonna turn out amazing or wishing for a campaign but no one is talking about how Pac got riddled with bullets.
Let's just say he's not gonna get unfucked this time
How Irish didn't get riddled with bullets hiding behind a thin car door that even cops know provides no cover? They could've moved the character a little to the left to get behind the engine block(like real soldiers would do).
@@dakoderii4221
1. He was hiding behind the engine block at first, which is already known to stop bullets.
2. People tend not to shoot/waste ammunition if they can't see their target (Thanks, Active Self Protection lol)
But they will have new story cinematics for each new season
@@dakoderii4221 Even if he did get riddled with bullets. He can respawn.

How about Extended full storyline??
@@AmericanSn1p3r yeah too bad gamers don't make up the majority of moviegoers. Also animation is expensive as all hell.
It's supposed to be the campaign that's conspicuously missing from Battlefield.
Straight goosebumps when I seen Irish. Even without a campaign it’s nice to see direction and why this is all happening. Almost low key makes me want a single player.
would be dope if they released one seperate...so people werent forced to buy it..
i want to see more though
Nice prequel, but hinting at something that isn't realy in the game, or isn't there like this short-movie, because there is no "singleplayer story-campaign", that's not a good move!
Realy hope they change their mind.
Maybe a separate mini-show, 10 episodes like the Teaser...
Just hearing his voice man
Nothing "low key" for me.
We are all in the story in multiplayer fighting for whatever faction we choose
"Huh, this man kinda looks like Irish"
3 minutes in: *NO WAY!*
same lol xd

I knew that Pac shot him
I just discovered today that the voice if Irish passed away recently. It's sad to find out that we'll never hear his voice again in future Battlefield projects, but Irish is a lovable character. I enjoyed his company during the Battlefield 4 campaign.
Rest well Michael K. Williams. Thank you for bringing your incredible voice for an amazing character!
So this definitely is after BF4 and its connected. There's obviously a story in this game...I really would like to see more of it
No. It's connected to bf2142.
@@andrewshepherd5249 this game takes place 20 years after BF4. Seems more logical than 100 years before 2142

I will always remember him as Omar from “The Wire” and Irish from “Battlefield 4”
RIP Mr. Williams, you will never be forgotten
Irish living at the end of BF4 is the cannon ending! What a nice surprise to see some familiar faces.
Yep. Hannah sacrificed herself. Irish stayed with you (Recker) and Pac survived on the Tombstone. Thats the real cannon
Makes me wonder if they had data tracking to see that Hannah was chosen the most where if Irish was chosen more then Hannah would've been in the story instead

Killing Hannah is also canon
Sorry Irish if they didn't tie the M249 to your death I wouldn't have done it

Too bad pac had to die
Technically, if Hannah is still alive that means the Valkyrie was destroyed...
07:32 Pac’s not only broken the handcuffs but somehow also has managed to find a sniper rifle. Respecy my dude. Did you really have to kill him off, Dice? :(
He can pick locks, but it was pointless to do this to pac.
It's explained in the last
Chapter
Kayvan Bechir, that journalist, freed him. It's explained in Part 8 of the Journey of the No-Pats
Glad others are reading it too
In the written story/article thing (The one you'll find in the community tab, check it out it's really good and brightens a lot about the story) where that journalist explains what is going on because he travels with the No-Pats around the world, he wrote that he freed Pac because he saw in his eyes, that he wanted to fight for the good.
I would seriously watch an entire movie like this!
agreed let's just spam i want a movie so we convice EA to make a movie about so they can get even more money if they want it to

Oh man that would've made this game so much better. I could hear Irish talking about the events that happened back in Battlefield 4, while we get a flashback of the campaign
Kinda feel like they messed up not having a single player after watching this but I’m sure they got a great way to tell the story thru hazard zone. I am too pumped up for this game lol

To bad I (like probably many others) never played the campaign because I don't care for it. So idk how it's connected
Anyone remember the lines in Bf4? Something about “The storm will carry us home” or something.
It was Garrisons speech:
Warriors on the Valkyrie. I know we’re tired. All of us have suffered-lost friends, loved ones. We will ensure it was not in vain. The storm has grounded enemy aircraft, but it won’t be for long. We may be the only ship left, but we will not go down without a fight.”
And Irish also says that his loyalty lies with the people on that boat, which on BF4, was the chinese refugees that had escaped from Shangai
This whole scene reminded me of the boat mission when they dropped down on the ship. Nice to see the old characters back. Too bad for pak death. But where is recker?
@@siftwolffang1971 Exactly, that's why I don't think this story is done just yet. Where's Recker? This is going to be awesome.
