Roland remembers the making of this trailer: “This is the most classic of all Battlefield 1942 trailers. If I remember correctly, it was meant to promote the multiplayer demo that featured the now legendary Wake Island map. At this point in time in the gaming industry, 99 percent of developers used pre-rendered graphics only in their trailers. Since we were one of very few showing actual in-game footage, we made sure to make a point of that in the intro. I still remember the comments from viewers back then who couldn’t believe this was in-game.”

Battlefield 1942 is the first game in the Battlefield series. Arguably one of the most pivotal multiplayer games, Battlefield 1942 was a defining moment for DICE. Armed with the knowledge and experience from the spiritual predecessor Codename Eagle, the studio set out to create the game of their dreams. Building upon and vastly refining the ideas from Codename Eagle, Battlefield 1942 let players engage in infantry combat and get behind the wheel of a variety of vehicles from submarines to battleships and bombers. The game introduced the signature Battlefield rock-paper-scissors gameplay, as well as the exciting “Battlefield Moments” people refer to when talking about their unique and unscripted experiences within the multiplayer game.

The game also introduced mainstay Battlefield concepts such as the tactical game mode Conquest and team play functionality. Actions like spotting enemies and repairing damaged vehicles are essential Battlefield elements that have been part of the series ever since. The fact that team play was highly rewarded was a break from current norms, and no doubt played a huge part in its success.

Roland Smedberg remembers: “It was epic working with true Vietnam era music. And even though we had an epic soundtrack with songs like Fortunate Sun, Surfin’ Bird and Ride of the Valkyries, we still managed to get the fun factor across as well. In this trailer at around 43 seconds, you can see a shot of a soldier running in a comical fashion. It was the perfect touch to the trailer, I think.”

Roland Smedberg remembers: “For the Battlefield 2 launch trailer, we really wanted to show a lot of ways you can take out a base in multiplayer. The trailer pretty much shows what could happen in a round of Conquest, and it was also used as the actual intro to the game. We wanted to get across that you had everything at your disposal from jets to helicopters and tanks and infantry. I think we still managed to get some humor in there with a few neat idle animations in the soldiers.”

DICE’s Senior Video Editor Roland Smedberg remembers the making of the trailer: “Like the launch trailer for Battlefield 2, this one was also used as the intro for the game. It also had the same type of opening sequence as Battlefield 2 with the sun and the moon, so there was a clear connection between the two. What I like the most about this trailer is the craftmanship that went into it: I like the angles, the camera movements — it just looks good. We deliberately showed as much of the setting as possible, and the video almost functions as a kind of tutorial for the game. This was also the title where we introduced in-game dog tags for the first time. You can see at the end of the trailer that we show a dog tag that says thanks to our beta testers, which I think was a neat touch. I remember this random YouTube comment where someone said that the trailer alone was worth the price of the game. ”
