/k/, DICE just announced we are getting a battlefield set in WWI.
Inb4 >>/v/
Why does it look like the soldier has a Spawn cape (I know it's supposed to be a trench coat) and more importantly a Sten Gun, in WWI?
Why is he black?
>>29857121
Maybe he's a Swedish soldier
>>29857118
>>29857121
>Crossposting baits this hard
Fuck off.
>>29857118
Looks like an MP-18i, not a STEN
I'll stick to Verdun anyways
>>29857126
>>>/pol/
Did the US employ black soldiers back then? Pretty sure there must have been some black soldiers in the commonwealth army somewhere.
>>29857154
Yes, there are a few WWI recruitment posters featuring black GI's.
>>29857154
Yeah, Entente had a shit ton of Indian and African soldiers taken from the colonies.
Central powers didn't really have a way of bringing soldiers from their African colonies, but had some. Also they had the Ottoman Turks on their side, even if they were stuck on the Eastern front
>>29857154
Not just the US. Back then, the empires in Europe recruited alot of men from their colonies - the British had Indian soldiers; the Germans had black troops.
>>29857182

That's obviously a turk

This doesn't negate the fact that your thread doesn't belong here.
>>29857121
Implying their wasn't any black soldiers in ww1
>>29857121
bad photo.
>>29857118
I don't know shit about ww1. Somone malaria pill me on why this won't be sucky sucky trench waiting camper simulator 2016.
Also good job dice. You avoided starting up the WWII shooter trend by picking WW1 instead.
>>29857121
Harlem Hellfighters, friendo.
>>29857258
This. How the fuck is trench warfare and weapons with ZERO capability for mods going to sell?
inb4 some "Black Ops" bullshit with future tech.
>>29857258
maybe they'll focus on the African and Eastern theaters, those were more open and mobile.
also Gallipoli defense level
>sucky sucky trench waiting camper simulator 2016.
would be great, Verdun is pretty much that but also a good game
>>29857268
yeah, or some alternate universe bullshit
>>29857279
Hopefully they can do it right. EA decideding to fuck their old release schedule up has seriously fucked their games and profit bad. Battlefront and hardline are both failures, amd everyone just wants battlefield bad company 2143.
>>29857258
Not all of WW1 was sitting in the trenches in France.
>>29857279
This guy has it.
Plus, it's a Battlefield game. We don't expect it to be a realistic portrayal of WW1 battle conditions. I'm sure there will be some urban combat. Also, I'm thinking they will go the alternate history route to some extent to open up more content. We can only hope there won't be zombies.
I'm wondering if pic related is gonna make its way into the game.
>>29857154
They did
I saw a docu about WWI, and they interviewed a black American man who was stationed in France
The thing I can remember the most of him was that he literally said:
>"the French girls really liked a black man like me"
Top cuk
>>29857268
Trench warfare....WWI...dude...look into it a bit more. WWI was a fucking epic war, more so than WWII.
>charging machineguns while on horse back

I think it's just the shading they use in the BF covers makes him look black
>>29857118
I just wanted 2143...
Fuck me, only red orchestra: nam looks good right now.
>>29857268
probably WWII guns and probably really, really large PvP online. like if two armies were actually fighting each other. i would love to see 150v150. play actual platoons going out in formation. mortars, howitzers, gas, low ammunition for challenge. who knows? i mean, i love the battlefield games. well, at least BC:2, battlfield 3 and 4. i'll buy it if it looks good.

If you don't want to do this you're a fag. There, I said it.
>>29857372
Thats before you get into the 5 DLCs they´ll probably have, along with the special guns in those DLCs.
>>29857410
just when it was released, it was a hot mess. Like missing many features promised in development. Panzer III didn't even get in game until a year and a half after launch.
Hell, we only just got light armor last year (and it's garbage).
please russian civil war dlc
i want to fight for the freedom of my class
>>29857418
All of them will be nagant variants. By DLC 3 you can have a full loadout with a nagant pike, nagant sniper, and obrez sidearm. Also unique non accurate ww1 soviet digicam and special acess to the challenges to eventually unlock the DLC 5 easter egg hunt bow and kit spawnable PTRD with explosive rounds.
>>29857118
>Why does it look like the soldier has a Spawn cape
More importantly why is the soldier a nigger?
>>29857121
No idea.
>>29857442
Yes, I always wanted to play as a white
>>29857121
Because it's Pre-Order DLC that is literally based around the fact that you can play as a black guy.
>>29857464
Because his parents were.
>>29857469

Im a Brit, so this doesnt really apply to me but possibly to you americans.
If tis game is really successful, do you think all the kids today will be seeking milsurp rifles when they hit 18?
Apparently, because of the whole first person shooter phenomenom in video games, everybody has an AR now in America.
>>29857498
FUUUUUCK
>>29857432
Fuck, I remember playing the shit out of room, but that sounds like rome 2 tier shit.
>>29857498
What the fuck is the point then? If they have to literally alter history to cater to the gameplay direction they are aiming for, the why bother with WW1 at all? Just do WW2 like they clearly want to.
Fucking swedes SMDH.
>>29857503
Probably not. This game is probably going to fuck up bad because...
>>29857498
Of that. Its a fucking ww2 game pretending to be ww1 game to avoid letting you play as a nazi. Calling it now.

Jesus christ /pol/ I hate niggers as much as the next guy but you fuckers need to actually look at stuff and think for a few seconds before you start chimping out
>>29857542
Okay look, I don't like /pol/, but don't you think it's a little silly that A: There's already pre-order DLC. and B: the sole point of this DLC is to let you be a black guy?
>>29857503
Possibly lead to cheap stuff like nuggets and kar98s getting bought and painted whatever gaudy camo is the final unlock. I don't really see it having much of an effect. Most of the BF audience weren't alive when band of brothers and all that were fresh, so WW1/2 stuff simply isn't as cool for them as modern and futuristic stuff is.
>still no FPS game about Korean war
>essentially WWII+advancement of technology in the 50's+jets
WHY CAN'T WE HAVE THIS
>>29857536
He's probably not lying, black Americans were extremely popular, look at how popular swing jazz was in Europe as soon as they landed, euros ate them and their culture/music up
>>29857556
There's always pre-order DLC.
It is more or less ridiculous than the gay planet in TOR that you had to buy?
>>29857566
Maybe someday. They'd get tired of the other wars eventually.

Shocked it isn't a futuristic game like was hinted by the last bf5 dlc. I'll give them props for being bold with their franchise. Anyone got a link to the reveal trailer?
>>29857566
Seriously this, it really is the forgotten war
Not to mention thre is no end to all the strange experimental weapons/gear and craft from that era, it would be visually spectacular

Yes. There have been black regiments since the Revolution, IIRC. Not to mention a lot of European countries had their own colonial regiments from India, Africa, etc. People always think of WWI as a white war between France and Germany, which really leaves out some interesting history on the side of the Ottomans, Serbs, and colonies around the world.

I'm hoping it's not going to have the god awful dubstep or shit, but with this whole "alternative WW1" theme, I feel it's going to show it's ugly face...
Speaking of alternative, /v/ is saying it's due to DICE not wanting people to play as the Nazis, apparently. But it's /v/, so take that with a metric ton of salt.

Hopefully the 'alternate history' thing is just so they can get around the change in tech throughout the war and not have people complain "ooh but they used the MKIII Enfield rifle at the beginning of the war, not the MKIV".
I would still love if the game captured the general progression of the war. The first British engagement of the war was a horseback duel with sabres in Belgium. The last was fought with tanks and bombers.
>>29857723
alternate history probably applies only to historical events in single player lol

>>29857871
That's why they set it in alternate history WWI, so they can pretend the US did significant shit in that conflict.

more accurately, China pushed back. there wasn't much left of N. Korea before the Chinese joined the war.
LeMay's bombing campaign was so effective he had to scale it back because they couldn't find any targets anymore
>>29858062
Ok lets get our timelines straight.
Norks push to pusan- good gook
Norks get shit pushed in all the way to china- bad gook
Norks+china push to 38- good gook
stalemate- no one wins
that better?
>>29858068
>Zero naval battles

I would say it would be cooler with bi-planes than jet-like copypaste plane models that they could have introduced with a WW2-themed game.
Battlefield 1 (still don't care for the name, but I understand why) will probably be very close quarters with a lot of fun combined arms stuff.
We will wait and see how this reveal in about an hour or so goes.
>>29858079
Not him, but pre-war Korea was directly divided by the 38th parallel. The Armistice line at the end extended somewhat past it. The Chinese didn't just push to the 38th, they tried pushing across it but were turned back and lost some ground.

The failure of the Chinese Spring Offensive allowed the UN forces to counterattack past the 38th parallel but they couldn't advance far, either. So you're basically both right.
>>29857498
So it's gonna be "The Order II, We're Too Ashamed to Call it The Order?"
Or is it going to be actual WWI weapons and tech, but altered so that it can have a mainland invasion of the US and pretend it's Homefront?

There were black soldiers in WWI. Both the French, British, and American armies had blacks fighting in the war.

As awesome as these ideas are, let's not forget this is EA/DICE we are talking about... they WILL. FUCK. IT. UP. All of it.

>alternate history WW1
$20 says there is a mission were you fight germans and kill young adolf hitler
If I can duel-wield Mars pistols, that will be basically the only good thing to come out of this game
>>29858230
It happened during both, imagine the face of the guy going from his good old Africa to the snowy vosges.
>>29857503
>Because of video games, everyone in America now has an AR.
That's just a little presumptuous, don't you think? Maybe some got it for that reason, but the fact of the matter is they're accurate, light on recoil, high volume, and above all people in our government don't want us to have them, which makes it soo much more satisfying
>>29857503
Well when I was a kid i did nothing but play WW2 games..
and now i own a ton of milsurp... so your not that far off on the concept
>>29857372
>Its going to be a shitty BF3/4 reskin, mark my words
No, it's going to be Star Wars Battlefront 3 reskin.
>>29858265
rather than ARs
>scars.
every kid ever, know of the scar. and almost no military uses it. it really gets all its marketing from videogames.
>>29858292
>starwars guns are pimped ww1/interwar guns
it all makes sense now. they can just a little of the model and you already have all the guns you need
>>29858297
For me that's the ACR
Every fucking game has the ACR now, regardless of the fact that it's shit and nobody uses it
>>29857372
>Campaign about American heroism, in spite of the war being effectively over by the time they showed up
No its going to be about how the Good Doughboy Dindus fight with the french because them good ol white dayz iz ova!

>fly your biplane attacking the flight deck and engines of the Zeppelin until it has to land or get tethered to the ground
>proceed to climb robes up to the deck for brutal hand to hand combat
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
>>29858230
That can't be anon, only white people fought in any world wars.
>>29858335
Pro-tip: zeppelins fly at greater altitude than aircraft. The moment aircraft could reach them they pretty much stopped using them.
Since we're on /k/ sort of taking about WWI, why is it so hard/expensive to find a Gewehr 98?
It's the one Mauser I've always wanted, but they seem to have all disappeared
>>29857597
Tons of Vietnam games? Vietnam hasn't had a game in like 10 years, it's only now that risingstorm 2 is coming out.
>>29858230
Then why not make the main character a fucking tank? Maybe a grenade or a bayonet can star in Battlefield 2 and 3? You know why? Because NIGGERS WERE FUCKING PROPERTY AND USED AS TOOLS. If EA wants to get history right then the first main character should be called Nigger 1 and every ten seconds they are pushed out of a plane, forced to charge the enemy unarmed or eaten during ration shortages. By the end of the game you're playing as Nigger 999 in Prinny Can I be the Real Nigger: Darkest Days Saga who is still an inconsequential fucking tool of war. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST THIS SHIT MAKES ME MAD
>>29858368
I've seen them pop up at gun shows and one of the local gun stores from time to time.
>>29858347
Videogame physics, so no.
>>29858335
oh god yes pls
>>29858368
they've all been sporterized it seems like.
>tfw I can never find a single Ross Rifle, sporterized or no
>>29858251
>don't kill adolf hitler
FTFY
As the game ends, you are greeted with images of WWII, your character takes up a pistol and points it at the camera. Cut to black as Battlefield WW2 is announced in the ending credits.

>>29857671
>Literally not calling BF1
>BF1914
Honestly why they don't call it Battle Field 1914 is utterly beyond me.
MFW
BF1942
BF2142
BF1943
BF1914
IT ONLY MAKES SENSE
That or BF1915 because
BF2
BF3
BF4
BF1915? I mean holy shit what the fuck is wrong with EA's marketing team, did some one gas them with Autism?
>>29858393
I've always wanted a Ross as well, but for some reason every time I come across one it's in .280 Ross and I'm not dealing with that
>>29858251
Even sillier would be a DLC mission where you play as a young Hitler.

>>29858437
My problem is, what are they going to do in the way of customization, which is a big BF shtick I guess you can say. Tiger Striped Chauchats with ACOGs? Springfrield 1904 with Digi camo? Mauser C96s with drum magazines?
Vehicle wise seems fine, got the Renault, Mark IV, A7V, plenty of biplanes, armored cars etc. Might be fun to see how they use AT Rifles in this.
I'm pretty hyped to see how they'll handle it.
>>29858445
I hate this meme.
Do you say the 18th day of October, 2016, or October 18th, 2016?
We put it as we say it, you eurocucks can't into language.
>>29858467
My job requires me to spell out the month so there's no possibility of confusion, so I got no dog in the fight.
>>29857744
that was bretty gud, the steam powered mechs seemed rather limited, however realistically so

You OK anon? It's just a game based on facts, sorry you have such resentment to blacks anon
>>29858499
>>29858514
They will humanize the creature, make him a hero of war and make kids think "wow aren't black people great?!". I don't congratulate my hammer every time I drive a nail anon.
>>29858461
I would acually like to use the custom Hue Mauser with an foregrip
but that would be strange on an WWI game
How are they going to make it fun to play? Most soldiers in WW1 died from artillery, disease and getting mowed down in no man's land. I imagine it would be extremely frustrating if you were in the middle of a firefight or something and a random artillery shell blew you up.
Or being forced to do a suicidal charge over no man's land just to be cut down by someone you can't even see.
>>29858514
To be fair you have to know they're doing it to pander and not because of the historical aspect
When was the last time Battle Field was super realistic and simple?
Of course this game is going to be similar to BF3/BF4, it's a battlefield game. If you guys want an authentic WWI experience play Verdun.
>>29858410
Or they could fucking call it Battlefield 1916?
>>29858551
Last simple battlefield was BF1943.
>>29858499
pls i want this
>>29857672
Its a Battlefield game you fucking tard.
Battlefield Total War 1.
huehuehue
>>29858551
>When was the last time Battle Field was super realistic and simple
Never.
>>29858539
It's probably going to be close-quarters combat in trenches and tunnels, with gas attack and artillery killstreaks or something.
I'm afraid they are going to make it way too fast paced to be a properly WW1. Because they didn't run at 100 mph while shooting and charging straight to Berlin, they shot and bled over a few feet of mud and dirt.
>>29858421
>where you play as a young Hitler
So you'd get to play as a gay in the army? Sounds pretty sjw to me.
>>29858541
Oh I agree 100% it also doesn't help that they're making them DLC, if they really cared they wouldn't make everything a fuckin preoder bonus.
whens the trailer reveal anyone have a time?

>>29857118
Will there be dinosaurs?
>>29858539
I really want a WW1 game like this
>no hud
>extremely loud gunfire, percussive mortal strikes and emphasis on sound design
>ground that turns into permanent craters if a shell hits
>realistic gunplay, have to manually work the bolt on a rifle
>dynamic wind and particle effects that make dust, smoke and mustard gas able to be moved around depending on how hard the wind is blowing and what direction
>urban warfare maps also make an appearance
You all watching this stream?
It's pretty shit, but I'll watch it only for the trailer.
Then I'll play some 1942 as a big 'fuck you' to EA.
>>29857669
