In the trailer, Battlefield 2042 specialists ram helicopters with cars, shoot enemies with machine guns, standing on the roof of a moving car, fall on a tank right on the battlefield and try to dodge a helicopter ramming infantry. At the same time, all the characters repeat the same phrase – What A Time To Be Alive. Unexpectedly for the creators of the shooter, many gamers were pissed off by the trailer. In 2 days, he managed to get more than 6 thousand dislikes and only 2 thousand likes. EA decided to remove the video from the official channel.
