Changes to weapons, "sweet spot" bullshit:
>shoot someone ten feet away with a bolt-action: 60 damage
>shoot someone 200 feet away with a bolt-action: 100 damage
>shoot someone 300 feet away with a bolt-action: 90 damage
Already ruined
>>341610296
>everyone has smgs and tanks all go at least 30+ kph
DROPPED
>>341610414
This isn't even part of the realism discussion. It's just senseless
>EA first decided that a WW1 game would be bad because most kids wouldn't have known that WW1 happened
>Game doesn't even emphasize bolt action guns as the main weapons
>Paratroopers
>Submachine guns everywhere
>Campaign looks like action movie garbage
>People wanted arbitrary sex options for multiplayer characters because muh equality
Casual garbage that's appealing to casual trash that buy a console for one game confirmed
>>341610710
it's an alternate history timeline where france didn't take part in the war and also all the weapons fire gyrojet ammunition that needs time to speed up before it can deal maximum damage
>>341611027
Please provide a source of DICE actually saying that
>>341611198
the source is in the black german soldiers
Can we agree that a realistic WW1 FPS game would be extremely slow and unfun to play? I don't think most of you complaining about this games lack of realism realize just how dull and grim WW1 was.
>>341611685
Mount and Blade Napoleonic wars proves otherwise. It would actually breathe some fresh air into FPS games and make them more team oriented than braindead lone wolf SMG spray and pray messes that many are.
>>341611685
>I don't think most of you complaining about this games lack of realism realize just how dull and grim WW1 was.
were you there? heh didn't think so
i think a world war 1 multiplayer game could actually be interestingas an alternate history horror themed MMORPG that has way more emphasis on survival, defending yourself from NPC monsters and occasional encounters with enemy soldiers, like the world war 1 sequences from "the darkness"
>>341611685
The war wasn't just the trenches. If they had a multiplayer mode where you would assault another trench line and had to take a series of points, with tank support and bolt actions, that would be great
>>341611685
All wars are like that.
>>341612087
You mean a game that takes place during the Napoleonic Wars? WW1 was vastly different. It's not just the technology at the time that made WW1 so slow and unfitting for an FPS.
>>341612591
Western front was really the only place that got bogged down and even then there were plenty of offensives with non-static lines.

YouTuber stuff, but he was one of the guys playing it at E3, and it fits with how arcadey Star Wars Battlefront is. Seems like DICE wants to hammer home the roles of the classes but they're doing it in a retarded way
>>341611685
This isn't about that. It's just a pants on head retarded change to FPS in general
>>341610296
>blacks take precedence over france or russia
>there are more classes with bolt actions in BF 1942 or Vietnam than in BF1
>its literally battlefield 3.4 just with ww1 skins and more blacks
Dropped so fast. I'll pirate it to benchmark my PC though since MP hasn't been the focus of these games since 2.

i bet u think white people are the most british and that germany is totally not a free democracy now, hitler
>>341610296
As far as realism goes, this game is pretty bad, but honestly, you were never going to get proper realism in this game.
For gameplay purposes though, the increased emphasis on completing objectives, and classes being more meaningful than everyone choosing one of two guns as soon as it's unlocked seems like a good choice to me, like it could really improve the part of the past battlefields where everyone was an assault character just running around looking for kills, or a sniper that never even went anywhere near an objective or supported anyone. Giving people proper roles to fill seems smart, and drop off points like this are a good way to ensure that overall, certain classes of weapons will be better in certain roles than others.
Also, does every thread about this game have to turn into /pol/ shit? It was fine until some retard randomly brought it up and brought other retards out of the woodwork.
>>341616090
>that "white" person
>>341616734
Also, the vehicle combat looks a lot better than just whoever had more stuff unlocked nearly always winning like it was in past games, much more skill based.
>>341617910
When everyone has the same loadout it does seem like that.
>>341614510
>there are more classes with bolt actions in BF 1942
No, there's two, same as BF1. One if you're on the pacific maps.
>>341616963
you mean "other"?
>>341610296
Somehow my worst annoyance with the games is how calm the female announcer is.
Goddamn, she sounds so corporeal and out of place. Like there's someone watching the battlefield and report stuff telepathically to you
>>341618280
No, only snipers have bolt actions.
Assault gets SMGs.
Support gets LMGs.
Medic gets semi-auto rifles.
>>341618280
I was referring specifically to vehicle fights, though you could say the same about attachments in normal guns.
>>341619035
they are no vanilla bolt action rifles with iron sights in the fucking game. All the sniper class has are rifles with scopes or the wacky acog sight.
>>341619370
I'm absolutely sure you'll be able to select iron sights, how could you possibly know there aren't any rifles at all with iron sights when the game's not even out yet, anyway?
>>341611027
>it's an alternate history timeline where france didn't take part in the war
Even though there are maps on french land. Either france doesn't exist or they are letting people to have deathmatch on their territory.
>>341611685
Verdun is pretty good, except for that whole "made on unity by people who can't programm for shit" part. I could go for AAA Verdun on a good engine and maybe with a bit more arcade elements (few prototype weapons would be ok) but not too much.
>>341619035
Medics also have the option to have bolt-actions.
>>341619212
Huh? Everyone had the same vehicle loadout. Of course it's going to appear more balanced when unlocks don't enter into it.
>>341611198
actions speak louder than words asshole
>>341619789
Oh, your point was vague, with the whole "it does seem like that". It's objectively more skill based though, hitting different parts on vehicles
Odds are theredoes different things to them, instead of as I said, it just being either who gets the drop on who, or who has better unlocks.
>>341619584
Because whoever takes charge in design there is clearly completely stupid?
>>341611685
I've honestly always wanted to play a game with combat like in All Quiet on the Western Front. it's combat in the napoleonic wars but with a lot of interesting factors added (airplanes, mustard gas, artillery strikes, landtanks, conventional naval combat, rifles instead of muskets, etc etc)
>>341619584
watch levelcrap's video, all guns have two variations. For the bolt action rifles it's either long range one with scope or middle range one with wacky acog sight.
>>341620120
Wow, what a compelling argument that is, sure convinced me.
>>341611685
Shove it up your ass shill.
>>341620441
It's restricted to two presets for the demo. They've said that scopes will be able to be removed.
>>341612375
There's literally a mode in BF1 like that senpai, search up "operations."
>>341611685
As someone who ha put in 70+ hours into Verdun, I agree
>>341611685
>HE HASNT PLAYED VERDUN
Its a ton of fun but runs like ass and looks like shit.
>gamers dont have the attention span for bolt action shooters
Red orchestra 2 wants a word with you
Why, just literally why, did they go with that fucking female voice in your head transmitting the battle?
Why the fuck didn't they just do what they already did in BFBC2 Vietnam and have a random soldier yell out about objectives and tanks and all that other shit.
EA marketers running this game like clockwork.
>go play arma
>WWI gameplay would be boring
>go back to /pol/
Change it up a bit, you're being easy to spot.
>>341610296
I was so excited for bolt action gameplay from playing red orchestra 2, with all the extra teamwork and glory involved
>>341621490
Or even better, hire a professional VA to properly present the spirit of each army.
Company of heroes is a great example.

>complaining about less damage over more distance due to the velocity of the bullet dropping over time
You have to be 18 to post on 4chan, faggot.
>>341621589
Yeah we all HATED bolt action and machine gunner support in the few games that featured it.
Absolute disaster. Like how everyone hates playing with muskets in Napoleonic wars mod battles.
>>341621490
Isn't that a placeholder voice from battlefront?
>>341622019
I doubt it considering its use of an authentic WW1 spelling alphabet.
>>341621919
>the original Red Orchestra mods are dead
>>341621917
that response both makes me laugh and makes me happy she didn't try to baby him and play along or whatever

learn to read, fuckwit. The bullet damage increases first
>Most weapons will allow you to equip bayonets or alter their handling, as well as changing your weapons sights’ magnification. We also have amazing weapon skins, which we'll talk more about in the coming months.

Jesus fucking christ. This game literally gets worse by the day, and being EA, it was already the spreading sphincter as far as telling how shit it would be.
>>341614510
So, you're reason for disliking it is because you don't like blacks?

>people actually think this is a realistic portrayal of war
>>341622728
I have the feeling that the "Automatics everywhere" will be a running joke all the way to release until a separate mod team makes a simple mod that forces things to be more in the spirit of world war I.
Red orchestra 2 is fun precisely because half the Russian team has to use Mosin's and dodge tanks and fight machine guns.
>>341623489
They're dirty hands, not black.
>>341623363
if whining about a "lack of diversity" means people hate whites, then yeah, I guess so
>>341623559
The only Mosin in the game is a lever-action :)
>>341623626
Thanks for confirming it.
