Battlefield 5 at Gamescom 2018

DICE dropped two trailers for Battlefield V at Gamescom 2018: a general trailer that teases the Rotterdam and North African maps, as well as a sizzle reel of action, explosions and gameplay.

"Playing as a squad is key to your success in Battlefield 5," the video narrates, explaining that playing in squads is the best way to unlock new combat roles that are unique to each character class.

These new roles will give classes new unique abilities and upgrades, which DICE says will allow recon players to specialize in long range shooting and stealth, give assault players more versatile attack options, allow support to build battlements and structures to help defend the point and give medics more tools to keep their team alive.
