Such good trailers. BF5 has been handled terribly. I also cant stand the art style. It just doesnt look like a WWII game.
For me, I don't particularly care about the style. WW2 or not, it's the gameplay that is the important bit and I wished they would remember how to show that off. They did it with BFBC2, BF3 and BF4.

Keep the view as much as possible in player first-person. Some spectator-like shots are fine but do not rely on them.
Do not remove the HUD, keep it in and show it is gameplay footage. It convinces much more.
Skip this toss:

The people shoulder slamming into some sandbags. Pre-made animations that do not appear in regular gameplay.
Keep it all strictly in-game.

The BC 2 trailer was similar to the BF V one. Showing a squad and some of the new mechanics, yet it's superior in everyway.

Rotterdam could be great.

I'm quite disappointed that urban maps are so rare in recent Battlefield games. BF1 had ONE in base game, Amiens. I really hope Rotterdam isn't the only urban map in this...

Amiens is pretty solid but urban maps can devolve into death from 1,000 different angles really quickly if you're not careful, or too many chokepoints. The Russian and French DLC both had awful examples of this, whereas BF3 and BF4 avoided it for the most part. Map balance tended to be really bad in BF1. I imagine a lot of people swore off the franchise due to that game.

I absolutely hated Prise de Tahure or Seizure of Tahure.

It is highly unlikely that there will be a second urban map in the base game. 2 Norwegian, 2 Belgian, 4 African. Amiens and Ballroom Blitz were easily the most voted and fun maps in BF1.

Perhaps something like Suez could be in one of the African maps.

That map was shit. It was too dark, too much waste and noise. The layout was just a shitty circle.

Before they nerfed mines to avoid clusters, everyone would lay mines for easy points because there is no difference between bricks and mines when you cruise around that map.

WW1 didnt have urban battlefields. Even the Amiens map in Bf1 is pushing it because the Germans never made it to the town.

Eh, it's only been a couple of minutes. No rush really.

It's just weird though. I can't recall ever seeing a scheduled trailer not drop at the advertised time. Usually this is all automated/scheduled/preuploaded on YouTube and just set to go public at a scheduled time.
