What were you hoping for?

I was hoping the series would go back towards its roots, not farther away from them. It can be absurd without being stupid. I posted my ranking of BF games last page, I want it to be more like the ones at the top of the list not the ones at the bottom. For ####s and giggles I took a look at metacritic to see if reviews agree with me or if I'm just out of touch (like I normally am) but no, seems people agree with me there.
What I got from that trailer was some kind of CoD, Battlefront, 2142 hybrid. Remember the BFV trailer, everyone rolled their eyes and whined about the lady with the prosthetic arm wearing a cape jumping out of a plane. Well I got the same feeling watching the laser robot dog in the 2042 trailer. And special hero abilites? Not sure who thought that was a good idea but I sure hope they're treading carefully there. Can't ignore either that the senior staff working on this are the same people that ruined the Medal of Honor series with Warfighter.
Don't get me wrong, nothing would make me happier than seeing the gameplay footage this weekend and thinking it looks great. I don't
want it to be bad by any means
