Gameplay reveal on Sunday the 13th
Looked okay. Pretty much battlefield. It'll be interesting to see if the weather they teased is dynamic or if it occurs consistently every time a map is played.
A lot of the stuff they showed was just to confirm the aspects of previous games are still around. Driving c4 cars, jumping out of and back into planes, etc.
Edit per ars Technica it drops 10/22, 128 players for next gen and PC. No single player campaign. Ten specialist classes. Medic can shoot syringe for long distance healing. Paid battle pass but only cosmetics. Dynamic weather on every map. Two new modes that aren't battle royale.

You can call in a vehicle any time and it airdrops in seconds. Including jet and helicopters and tanks
$60 for PC and last gen, $70 for next gen
Pre orders are open. Technical alpha early July but it says they'll invite "some veteran battlefield players" so probably not tied to preorder and won't be generally open to the public
