"war is the only way home" sounds like reasonable imperialist propaganda to me ; or Battlefield is going full Stargate, Earth vs. Goa'uld.

Actually, Battlefield: Stargate, would be hella dope. All the worlds nations fighting together vs. aliens.

The concept of this phrase already existed in ancient Rome so I doubt that it indicates anything like alien war or outer space attacks.

Possible images from alpha? Probably like a 10% chance of being real but if they can pull of those weather effects *phew* and that map with the sandstorm and the stadium looks like a cool idea.

Looks real enough, the pictures in front of squad mates names are curious. Some look like BC2 images, although if it's a pre-alpha, then it might just be a placeholder asset.

Leaks hint at us being able to fully customize our soldier (gender, language, nationality, gear) as there isn't national armies anymore, just shit ton of mercs fighting for side that pays best. Could explain variance in avatar pictures, different customization.

Could be cool if that leak / rumor is on point.

Could be, but game score above minimap still says US, would have expected something more neutral in that case. Again, pre-alpha salt.

Countries are a thing, their armies less so. Apparently. You as a player have avatar soldier and you can fight for any side you want.

What's with the 3600 Hours time? Does this not take place on earth then?

My tinfoil is that it's meant to hint at release date (Nov 1st (Mon) or Nov 2nd (Tue)).

I haven't checked, is Jackfrags doing "What could BF6 be? Lets theorize" hype videos while acting like he already doesn't know everything there is to know about the game?

He did good bit of that for V.
I guess so. After the TTK change in BFV, Dice stopped listening to Insiders/Creators like Jackfrags. I dont know if the whole "Insiders/Creators" marketing relationship is still in place for the new BF.

Ugh, they've been teasing this game in the worst way for nearly 2-3 months now. Just drop that trailer already. 😩

I really hope we'll get atleast a blogpost with the trailer announcing some new features and stuff. If this is all for a 1:30 min cinematic trailer, i'll be disappointed

I can't wait for this trend of "marketing through influencers" to come to an end. It's never not cringe-inducing.

My wish for this would be a
Coalition(US, UK, France, Germany, SK, Japan, Canada) vs Allegiance(Russia, China, MEC, Rebels, Mercenaries) thing
You pick your nationality per-faction,
Your preferred nationality sets the vehicles and the commander voice over(unless that is map based).
If I choose American all the vehicles look like the American versions to me until a driver of another nationality gets in and makes it theirs(once driven it doesn't change again)
transport helicopter example

Shows to UK nationality or everyone once piloted by UK player
