>DICE has fleshed out melee combat, allowing players to “literally destroy” enemies with the handheld weapons in the game.
>Unlike Battlefield 4 where tanks “all felt the same,” light and heavy tanks in Battlefield 1 have unique abilities and players will need to learn how to use each one to the best of its ability. This applies to all vehicles in the game, not just the tanks.
>Players will now choose between Assault, Medic, Scout and Support.
>Assault, for example, is the class with access to explosives, anti-tank mines and other weapons which will help them take down vehicles. Medics meanwhile, will be the class with exclusive access to health and revive skills. In other words, the Assault Medic class from Battlefield 4 is no longer an option. Support acts similar to what players are used to at present. They have access to heavy machines guns to lay down suppressive fire. Scouts provide intel, scoping enemies out with sniper rifles
>Westie is under NDA so he couldn’t go into much more detail on the classes, but did state the lack of an Engineer class
>Those who played Battlefield 3 and 4 who felt there wasn’t enough destruction, or levolution if you will, should be pleased to know their feedback has been addressed
>Yesterday, DICE said players can decide which tactic to use when confronted with chemical warfare. They can put on their mask and charge through the gas, or choose to go around it via and alternate path
TL;DR: Assult and Medic are split, no engineer, Bad Company destruction, and gasmasks are a tool
bump faggots
>DICE has fleshed out melee combat, allowing players to “literally destroy” enemies with the handheld weapons in the game.
So they changed the animation? It's still going to be the same 'press button for execution', but this time with a club so it will send little giblets flying when their head explodes
>battlefield post 2142
>>336925621
Well, they actually talked about how there was going to be weight differences, and how the lighter the weapons that faster it is.
But the post limit is a bitch.
>>336925687
>3 and post-fix 4 is bad
Go play Squad if you care so much faggot
i have to admit that i'm hyped for this game, although i am pretty sure that thanks to ea this game is gonna be a mess, or atleast not as good as everyone thinks it's gonna be

>>336926289
That's the boat I'm in, the concept is enough for me to want to follow the game but I'm pretty pessimistic on whether or not they can manage to not fuck this up from a historic standpoint
>>336926628
Why does every WWI soldier look like a fucking goblin?
So basically, it's just a reskinned BF3/4.
Thanks, DICE!
>>336926452
>there was absolutely no way to stop a tank
Not when they first rolled onto the battlefield. But anti-tank weapons and tactics were quickly put together.

>>336926947
They're going to have to fuck it up a little bit, there isn't much source material to work with and dude trenches lmao wouldn't be that fun of a game
>>336927083
Might want to double check your reading comprehension skills there senpai
why don't we get an engineer class?
get rid of the recon class, i think it will be useless in a ww1 game
>>336927083
>revamp class system, vehicle system, and destruction
>i-its a reskin!
If I was a mod I would ban you right now
>>336926960
Because you're looking at images of men stuck in trenches for several years. Imagine living in a place where the lights are almost never on, the floor is never dry, your boots are always broken and your feet are slowly rotting off as lice pick away at every bit of hair on your body, rats chew at your ankles, and you are forced to once again eat another series of long-expired canned goods because the war-profiteers at home realized it was far cheaper to send low-quality and expired goods to the front line than fresh food.
On top of that, at any given moment, a guy who hasn't fought in a single conflict for over 30 years and is still used to cavalry charges and cannon-fire as methods of winning a battle forces you and your bros, day after day, month after month, to jump out of those trenches and run in 100 yard stretches towards the enemy line- which is far better equipped than you in terms of weaponry.
>>336926628
Assault gets explosives and AT mines. Keep in mind that WWI tanks are NOTHING like modern tanks. For starters the tanks shown in the trailer are British Mark Vs. They have no top mounted rotating turret. They only have side mounted turrets and a front mounted machine gun. So unlike the tanks in BF2-4, these tanks have massive blind spots and will require actual teamwork to be effective. Gone are the days of one man army tanks.
>>336925967
>But the post limit is a bitch.
Its not like you can't post twice, right?
>>336927276
Apparently the planes/tanks are getting their own classes
also, nobody back then didn't really know how to work with tanks or planes
>>336926452
>there was absolutely no way to stop a tank
>>336927162
if done right trench fights could actually be fucking great
At this point, the game could be a screenshot of a WW1 tank and it'd still be better than Infinite Warfare. I think we might actually see more people play BF than CoD this time around.
Ok maybe not that, but the playerbases will be different, with BF gaining ground.
>>336927370
God damn it I am a retard
>>336926452
holy shit dude look shit up before you just start saying shit
the first skeleton tanks were in danger of being overrun by infantry or simply having their armor penetrated by armor piercing rounds
the next generation were immune to small-arms but could be fucked up by bundled grenades and anti-tank rifles that were built specifically to fuck the squishy bloodbags inside the tank
and there's also mines, which has been the bane of tanks since their conception
tanks were not a huge problem to deal with in WW1, and they were rather rare to boot
>>336927363
Whoops. Meant to qoute >>336926452
>>336927281
Until I don't hear or see actual substantial changes to the CoD-esque gameplay, I'm afraid I don't give a fuck.
If they actually manage to make it even somewhat tactical and methodical, or reintroduce real team-wide gameplay, I'd be interested. As it stand now, with the bombastic trailer and "look at us we slightly reshuffled the classes again!" bullcrap, it just looks like utter crap. I'm sure you 2000 babbies will happy buy it and play it with all your Steam pals, though.
>>336927363
>Gone are the days of one man army tanks.
This is good
This combined with the separate class will actually make tank warfare more valuable and important to the objective
>>336927443
>if done right
This is DICE we're talking about, you know
>>336927613
It doesn't sound like it is going to be the game for you. You seem rather rigid in your expectations and that can only lead to disappointment.

I could care less about black people being in games I'm not racist in the slightest heck I'd gladly play a game with nothing but black people if it fit the setting and was fun. It's the fact that it's forced that pisses me off. If you don't understand why a muslim woman and a black guy is forced in a ww1 setting please learn your history.
>>336928078
>no regular footsoldier class
Assault?
Medic?
They're going to let you choose rifles anon
>>336928240
Except Engineer is folded into Assault and Medic is pure Medic as they don't get offensive equipment options.
No more Assault Medics.
>>336926739
It's cool.

And you bet one of the classes is going to be perma black.

I hate niggers as much as anyone, but jesus christ you're stupid.
What makes it "forced"? Does someone force you to pay money for the game?
Just don't buy it and move on with your life you fucking retard. It's going to be a shitty CoD clone anyway.
>>336928552
Whatever weirdo, while you are writing your blog about "muh forced diversity" whilst having an autism attack as you surge out and spend all day on /v/ shitposting about the rest of us will be having fun playing the game.
****
I'm actually interested in seeing gameplay.
I want to know more about this because it has the potential to be really cool.
>>336928552
holy dicks man its the single player campaign why the fuck do you care, all you buy battlefield for is to play multiplayer anyway
>>336928552
you're literally as bad as the SJWs
>>336928836
There are multiple protags on the campaign, the hellfighter is just on of them.
>>336928579
Assault is the new anti tank and medic is a medic
>>336929045
Then what the hell do you want?
a class with no purpose what-so-ever?

Yeh
>>336929160
Not him, but
>oh shit nigger an MS Paint comic
>>336924785
>No engineer class
I fucking knew it
They are turning Battlefield into a more casual-friendly game by gimping vehicles and making infantry more powerful against vehicles.
I bet they'll give every class a weapon that one-shots tanks, planes, etc.
>>336928836
One of the fucking classes in BF3 was permablack you retarded fucking ape.
American Assault class in BF3 was black. Go fucking neck yourself you insufferable cunt.
>>336928960
Yeah, the other is a Muslim Warrior woman.
Because we all know those exist. Better yet; Why are they represented as the mainstays.
Two minor characters with minor roles in the Entire War.
The Hellfighters literally were in the war for around 10% of it.
So by then the Airships over Britain have gone, Zepplins themselves become obsolete due to the fighter plane and all the trenches have been broken through.
But yes, do tell me how an American Black guy is suddenly an important and interesting story in WW1
>>336928487
I'll give you the muslim warrior chick but you do know the Harlem Hellfighters saw some heavy shit, even in just those "6 months" they were in, right? They were an all minority unit and thus were expendable.
>>336929281
>They are turning Battlefield into a more casual-friendly game
You're late by like half a decade, I'm afraid.
It's time to let go.
>>336926628
except that weapon was more of a tank harasser than a tank killer, and was seriously obsolete only a few months after they were brought onto the battlefield
>>336929291
Why not tell the story? Seriously, I'm willing to bet we're gonna get a different protag for each of those episodes that were leaked. It's not like those two are gonna be the only characters in the game.
>>336929297
They also saw some of the lightest fighting because it was the end of the War.
The Harlem Hellfighters were never bogged down in the stalemate of the trenches any time as long as the British, French or Germans by any margin.
All the fighting they saw was dramatically light in the mop-up years coming to the end.
American forces saw next to nothing of WW1 and what they did see was a culture shock that rapidly smashed apart their inferior military and forced them into the modern age to be prepared for WW2.
But no, we have a magical negro flying around fighting machine gun Zeppelins with trench weapons he probably would have never seen.
>>336929281
They already started it with the BC games, you're late to the party.
>>336927474
>more people will play BF than CoD
Even if this is the case, it is probably not a good thing.
>>336929281
>I can't read the article
Also, they said that planes will be able to lose parts and have a harder time flying when getting shot at
>>336929483
Because it's a boring fucking story.

As awesome as this sounds, your camera is probably gonna be 3rd person and as such you'll never have a "blind spot". Wouldn't be surprised if the turrets were all simultaneously controlled.
>>336924785
>classes
They had best put a limit on amount of each class, otherwise you're just going to have a million support running around with MG08/15 and M1918s.
>>336929838
They are in fps games.
>>336925621
They probably redid the whole system, where there's no backstab or other animation, you just free swing and beat the shit out of each other.
>>336929281
"Engineers" are the ones that ride tanks. They made it sound like you could only spawn in tanks or planes. Contrary to what you thing they're removing lock on weapons so vehicles are harder to kill but at the same time vehicles are less destructive.

I know the USA history of WW1 was shit.
But its practically a meme to have a Murrikan fighter on the cover. and whats a better way to do it than to use the most active fighter in the US military at the time

Oh you mean Sgt. Alvin York who captured 32 German machine guns, killed at least 20 Germans, six of them with a single magazine from his sidearm, and captured 132 others?
This is why you are being accused of revisionism. It starts with the sloppy claim that the Hellfighters where deployed for the longest, then it becomes "they saw the most combat", and now here you are claiming they were the most active fighters in the US Army, presumably because all the white American soldiers were cowards who sent out the poor abused black people to fight for them. Considering thee average idiot thinks America won the war it's only a matter of time before the " Harlem Hellfighters were the most important unit in WW1" meme starts to spread.
>>336930363
DICE is Swedish, tard.
you're probably going to be a super duper special elite spy unit in berlin killing all the evil kaisers

im liking the game thus far, but only mission 1 is going to be in the trenches as an introduction, the rest are going to be elite fighting units or some bullshit working behind enemy lines

As opposed to what exactly? The white guys dying of the flu in trenches? Or how about the white guys dying of the flu in trenches on the other side of no mans land? Oh I know! Let's follow one of the crazy shell shocked white guys that sits in a puddle of his own piss and shit while laughing because he's been stuck in that trench watching his comrades die of the flu between gas attacks for two years.
DICE seems to be picking out the parts that actually have action and military success.
>>336929285

>>336930771
Why not a black man? They were in the war,just because you are triggered by them diesn't mean they don't deserve to be in the game.
INB4 there were only 0.0002577% black people in the war.
You are 0.053756% of the people that will play the game, why should anyone listen to you?

There are many other people and places in the game, why are you making out the black guy is the whole game? Because he isn't.
Tbh if they don't have a Sikh or some other colonial troops as a playable character I might actually be a bit annoyed given that we get irrelevant American negro.
>bad company destruction
Good
its the only good thing dice have done in more than a decade
They should have gone with Israeli-Arab conflict.
>>336931618
But the Americans were barely involved in WW1.
Hell they were barely involved in WW2.
>>336931714
So they had an easier time fighting a weakened opponent.
Why should we care about black guys playing cleanup.
>>336931208
I think his point was there was a greater contribution by britain and france rather than americans did nothing
>>336931402
If by "completely irrelevant" you mean "effectively ended the stalemate by bringing in fresh troops, equipment, and firepower", then you're right.

So what? they were in the war, they have every right to be in the game. Stop being autistic, the game is about several different characters from different parts of the world during different battles.

Private Johnson distinguished himself by acts of gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a member of Company C, 369th Infantry Regiment, 93rd Division, American Expeditionary Forces, during combat operations against the enemy on the front lines of the Western Front in France on May 15, 1918. Private Johnson and another soldier were on sentry duty at a forward outpost when they received a surprise attack from a German raiding party consisting of at least 12 soldiers. While under intense enemy fire and despite receiving significant wounds, Private Johnson mounted a brave retaliation, resulting in several enemy casualties. When his fellow soldier was badly wounded, Private Johnson prevented him from being taken prisoner by German forces. Private Johnson exposed himself to grave danger by advancing from his position to engage an enemy soldier in hand-to-hand combat. Wielding only a knife and gravely wounded himself, Private Johnson continued fighting and took his Bolo knife and stabbed it through an enemy soldier’s head. Displaying great courage, Private Johnson held back the enemy force until they retreated. Private Johnson’s extraordinary heroism and selflessness above and beyond the call of duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit and the United States Army.

Oh, you must have misread that wikipedia article you skimmed. The 369th was deployed for 6 month stretches -- the longest of any American unit in the war.

this is clear from any fucking text you read about the war, its country of origin be damned
>>336932094
Yes, various racial backgrounds because that's what the Foreign Legion was. It's almost like you knew nothing about WW1 before this game got announced and you've done a basic cursory Google search. Next you'll be saying there were no women that fought in the war.
>>336931618
The truth isn't bullying.
There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that we were a day late and a dollar short for WWI. My great grandfather died in one of those clusterfuck battles and I'd rather the tragedy of his death due to our unpreparedness was remembered rather than papered over with false glory.
I liked Lucky Freddie in Valiant Hearts

According to period records, it was long believed that the Tuskegee Airmen did not lose a single bomber due to enemy fire, a statement made by a bomber pilot in the film. However, this claim has been proven inaccurate, and an Air Force report from 2006 showed that at least 25 bombers were lost to enemy fire.[53] As depicted in the climactic scene, the Luftwaffe Me 262 interception of a Tuskegee Airmen escort mission did not result in the first victory over the vaunted jet fighters, credited to another U.S. unit much earlier in the war.[N 7][55] The film also states in the epilogue that the Tuskegee Airmen established one of the best fighter records in the U.S. Air Force. The film notes that 96 Distinguished Flying Crosses were awarded to the unit and 66 Tuskegee Airmen were killed in action. Officially, the Tuskegee Airmen did not produce a single fighter pilot ace, although Lee Archer's record is still in dispute.

That sat in trenches longer than any US group, there were other US groups that were apart of more offensives.
>>336930020
The Marines did become renown sharpshooters, and Germany did try and ban the trench gun. Sure, we came in late when it was almost over, but there were offensives we were apart of.
>>336931909
Not at all. Germany wasted the last of it's power during it's last offensive and then collapsed allowing the french and British to go on the offensive. Plus they were finally learning how to use combined arms tactics.
Americans weren't really that much of a player.

>>336932572
I'm saying there are clear precedents for massive exaggerations and outright fabrications of wartime heroics in order to retroactively include minorities in historical conflicts they played very small parts in.
This is a war where the USA played a very small roll, and African-Americans an even smaller role than that, and yet the focus is on an African-American soldier.
The fact that many such heroic actions from European soldiers must have been overlooked in the search for (or fabrication of) an African-American hero makes the motives all the more suspect.

It's really the sheer amount of people in these wars. They're all soldiers, and they generally all do their jobs and have their sacrifices. The attention they get is rather disproportionate. Especially for WWI where there hasn't been a lot of attention for the severity of the conflict.
I get that some black dudes did their job like other soldiers, but then what you're saying about glorifying them, is that they deserve the spotlight over other soldiers for...?
Their skin color. But keep suck that pandering dick that isn't meant for you (unless you're black, then I guess I'm sort of sorry for your lack of role models).
all of you here whining about "muh americans didnt even fight the war"

>>336932510
>implying apocryphal names coined by a supposedly terrified enemy aren't a dime a dozen among military units
Marines are called "Devil Dogs" because the Germans in WWI called them "teufel hunden". Never mind the fact that the phrase is grammatical incorrect and would be "Teufelshunde" if actually said by a German.
I'm sure the Harlem Hellfighters legend though is more rooted in reality, everybody knows how firm a grasp of German the average American black from Harlem has.

>>336932740
If you count sitting in a trench possibly taking a shell or two as "fighting" then sure. But there are many other American regiments being ignored who were apart of more offensives because they aren't black.
I'm curious how hard "Harlem Hellfighters" has been googled to death by reddit shills and newfags on here in the past 3 days because they can't bare the idea with negativity being shown towards their precious Will Smiths?

Australian and Canadian shock troops were considered the best the Allies had, its always why the Canadians consistently were given the shittiest jobs.
Because they'd win.
>>336933054
The Germans gave them the name Hell fighters. Get it? Demons? Hell fighters?
Regardless, only about 42,000 black troops saw combat from the US, about 11% of the total black troops sent abroad. I don't get why they're making it about the Hell flighters, so many missed opportunities.

Whether or not that's true (not doubting you, but can't be bothered to fact check you), two weeks in the trenches was hell on Earth. Everything the guy you replied to described about the trenches was true regardless. 3 days of that sounds horrible, let alone 2 weeks, then having to go back again 2 weeks later, then rinsing and repeating the process for months or years.
