Which Great Power will you play as in Battlefield 1?
>nb4 some shill mentions WWII France to derail the thread
Why would they do this? People interested in WWI were going to be a good chunk of their market. Not having France is full retard.
>>337364048
DLC
>>337363761
>no France in a WWI game
I'm fucking speechless. And raging.
>>337364247
france always surrenders m8
I'm new here and I can't wait to play as France!!!!!
>>337364148
>made up muslim woman and black American main storylines in sp
>probably the focus of the mp maps as well
>France as dlc
Should be considered a crime.
>>337363761
>no France
>no Serbia
>no british commonwealth or ANZAC
Pretty sure I'm forgetting others, but god damn.
>The United States of African-America (HOOAH)
>No France
>No Russia
>>337364345
I'll never understand this meme. Specially from an american. The US wouldn't exist without France and vice versa. Wouldn't that make France like the best war buddy?

>>337363761
>Italy
>>337363761
what do you mean there is a frenchman on the cover
>>337364586
France has undergone about 15 revolutions since then, it's not the same
>>337364586
Don't respond. They've derailed every thread about this.
>>337364430
>>337364430
>muslim woman
What?
>>337364247
Because nobody wants to play the side that constantly gets his ass kicked by the evil side.
>>337363761
Any of the Allied Powers. Killing Germans is fun, then add Hungarians and Turks to the mix and it's even better.
>>337364636
I was 100% sure it was an american, though
>>337363761
Glorious Britannia ofc. It is fucking wierd that France isn't in the base game though, ESPECIALLY as the fucking US are.
>>337363761
why would they include italy but not france?
>>337364858
10 cents has been deposited.
>>337364621
They were mostly on the offensive though, and those numbers aren't too surprising considering the circumstance of trying to push an offensive in wwi era fighting on a mountain where avalanches are killing people by the dozens as well. Once they got rid of that general they did a little better.
>elegedly soldiers fired at sheets of snow in order to cause avalanches upon their enemies
Would be a fun as fuck mechanic tho.
>>337364636
>ww1
>no gasmask.
>>337364998
Or Russia.
I guess because they like remaking history however they feel like it, even if it means removing the main allied power from the war and adding blacks and muslim women. They probably ran out of time to model the French since they spent so long working on the big black soldiers.
>>337364793
They made up a muslim female soldier for the Bedoin campaign. Meanwhile there was a Serbian girl who fought on the frontlines but she's ignored...
>>337365143
fucking loved this game
>>337365009
>10 cents
>has
Kek.
>>337363761
>Italy
>No France
>No Russia
The fuck? This is a game about WW1, right?
>>337363761
So, are these confirmed to be all? Or is it just what's been revealed so far?
>>337363761
Pretty interested in Ottomans.
>>337365143
There'll be gasmasks. But soldiers didn't have to wear them 24/7 because they weren't snipping custurd gass 24/7.
>>337365569
I'm sure more will be revealed later on like Russia and France, but they need to stick to the allied vs central powers. Honestly, whatever versus whatever would fine for me.
are new Battlefield games anything like the old ones?
are there still 64 players and huge maps?
>>337363761
Now that they're all about diversity, maybe they'll add some interesting units like Sich Riflemen?
Oh who am I kidding.
>>337365707
Assuming by big maps you mean like El Alamein or Dragon Valley, no.
>>337365417
>Gustavsson: It is that we base the game on authenticity, and we extract those pieces to create a game, meaning that we don't get bogged down by history.
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/battlefield-1-interview-its-not-worth-stepping-on-/1100-6439710/
Retards are making the game, what else can be expected?
>>337364998
My guess is that Gebirgskrieg is 10 times as visually interesting as the plains of mud of the Franco-Geman front.
>>337365417
Hell you might also want to add...
>US
>>337364345
France did most of the fighting in WW1, retard
>>337366152
>We shoot for authenticity by taking out the parts we feel like and ignoring the rest
What retarded logic is this?
>>337366823
It's called appealing to a wide audience.
>>337366152
just fuck my history up senpai
>>337364247
No Russia either. What is this mickey mouse bullshit
>>337367329
russian revolution mate they became commies and withdrew from the war
>>337363761
Wait what, where's France?
Can't possibly be complete, can it?
Italy is in, but France isn't? When the western front, the most well known and "mainstream" front was located in France?
>>337367367
They still fought in the war for a brief period albeit. I want to use a moist nugget goddammit
>>337367047
How the fuck is giving the market the game they've been asking for not enough, do you have to resort to tokenism to push sales?
I live in a madhouse.
>>337364247
>wheres the white flag????????????? I dont want to fight !!!!!!!
>>337367432
>Up until 1918
>For a brief period
why is this allowed?
>>337363761
>no russia
>no france
>shitaly
>>337367616
had my timeline fucked up. I thought they pulled out earlier in the war
Where's France?
Do europoors not know their own history?
>>337367892
my bet is that they didnt want it to be all trench war fare, i read an interview and they said italians fought in mountains and stuff. french would have been more trenches.
>>337363761
Kaiserreich all day every day.
Not going to buy this game though, fuck Battlefield and fuck EA.
>>337363761
Kangz
Thats pretty sad they dont have France but of course being a black kang in Europe saving the world is totally fine too.
So can anyone give me an actual source of DICE saying "these are the playable factions in the game and no others"?
>>337367892
>Swedes
>not altering everything for agendas
Well. There goes my dreams of a sweet capturing and holding vimy ridge level. Fuck this game.
Where's France?
>>337363761

Thank you based sweden for being more parriotic than retarded 'muricans. I hope you are enjoying jamals dick while coding the game
>>337368471
Anyone?
Because right now this is just creative shitposting.
>>337368965

>>337371049

>>337363761
>No Russia

Sheesh. What a joke.
>>337371049
>Swedes
>>337364586
fun fact: "Mayday" comes from french "M'aidez', meaning "help me"
>all these anons crying "WHERE IZ LE FR-ONSH?!"
And people say aussies are the shitposters.
I want this France meme to end
>>337363761
All of them considering they'll probably be map based.
>>337371049
russia is not progressive enough therefore evil
no idea about france though
>>337363761
Serious question time
Do you ( Americans ) really need to be in the spotlight for you to buy something for example what if the main force was Germany and France, and America was supporting role would u not buy it?
because this is what the devs are thinking
>no Japan
Immersion RUINED
>>337372038
no, Dice went full retard
>>337372038
As an American myself i'd rather have the French in the game instead of The U.S.A
>>337363761
>no France
it's like having a game about the American revolution without America
>>337372038
Project Reality is my favorite mil FPS right now and I never play US on it.
>italy
Conflicted about this.
Quite a lot, to be honest.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VluxUjVSMW0
>>337372038
I don't know. So few games have gone American-free that it's hard to tell.
I can say that I have no interest in another country's history outside of their architecture, so I would probably be less interested.
>>337372038

I really really hate this cover, not because of muh diversity, just because it looks like some steam punk fantasy game. I don't think of fucking WW1 thats for sure

Maybe that's why
What I don't understand is that France had the most blacks(Algerians) fight for them in the entire war. Wouldn't progressive Sweden love that shit?
Guess they really wanna avoid the trench warfare.
>>337363761
>no France but Austria-Hungary is in
That's fucking hilarious
>>337364048
HOW THE FUCK CAN THEY JUSTIFY A HAVING AMERICA AND NOT FRANCE IN A WWI GAME. SO MANY MAJOR BATTLES WERE FOUGHT IN FRANCE BY THE FRENCH. JFC
>>337373963
not a progressive but forcing your colonial slaves into fighting for you isn't a good look for a mass consumption game that is already gamifying a horrific war
>>337373927
>Battlefield 1 could be ambiented in a different timeline
maybe because the joos won't allow them to tell the true story
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8OmxI2AYV8
>>337372038
we're by far the biggest market for the game, of course they're going to pander to us
I bet this game would be banned in most of the other WW1 countries
Why are Germans so bad at diplomacy? They keep starting wars against the rest of the world combined.
>>337375074
You mean they keep being dragged into pointless new theaters by their incompetent allies
>>337375074
germany didn't do shit to start WW1, they just got pulled in and became the enemy because austria-hungary couldn't do shit on their own.
>>337364345
france never surrendered in ww1 and did most of the fighting on par with russia and the germans
>>337377564

>>337377564
>t. Fraz Mekhiem
Germany was an instigator of the July crisis and repeatedly provoked the entente
Why no Bulgaria
>>337375074
Despite being the scapegoat and forced to pay the price for WWI they didn't really start shit.
Hell the biggest reason Germany started WWII is because they got tired of being shat on and in debt for a war that wasn't even their fault.
>"WW1" game
>no french soldiers
>americans and muslim women firing automatic rifles on the move
Full
Fucking
Retard
Classic DICE.
>>337378018
and serbia and austria hungary and falklands, and african/pacific asian colonies
>>337377564
you should read some history books
basically every greater power just waited for a reason to lash out and start a war to "protect their population" or "getting a Platz an der Sonne" by attacking other greater powers
What's your source?
Some fanmade wiki?
>>337378045
>still believing the "versailles was harsh meme".
Weimar germany was a failed state before debnts were even being paid entirely due to fiscal policy. They got a better peace treaty than they gave russia.

This is full retard. Even Canada did more in WW1 than the claps
>>337378732
dud fuk hitler right xdd
>>337379196
Because "generic murican action hero" sells. Their customers don't want to play some indian on some far away front.
I bet they will do Gallipoli like a fucking heroic success or something
who seriously cares about french besides fellow french/canadians
nobody wants to be reminded of any of france's old history since its so depressing what a muslim shithole they turned out to be
>>337364621
they got the territory in the end though
>>337379727
old colonial france was awesome though. I wanna be a Haitian nigger killing hans with my Lebel.
>>337379727
they need to see what they used to be
I forgot which battle it was but there was one where they fought to the fucking last man to protect a single city
350k french soldiers dead, 330k germans dead
>>337363761
Seriously no France? No they were only a major player in the war who cares about them
DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE
I doubt it's true. Let's wait for actual fucking confirmation at e3 before you shit your pants about it.

Remember when the US saved the world from Hitler?

>No Second Battle of Ypres, where Canadians took Chlorine gas and asked for more when the British and French died or ran like pussies
>No rolling through Somme, stomping Germans so the Canadian Corp can advance the line
>No stomping Vimy Ridge flat in three days, taking the ridge after both France and Britain tried and failed for two years to take it
>No Battle of Passchendaele
I hate being a part of a nation so small nobody cares about appealing to us, sometimes.
>>337387170
the purpose is to speed up the game and make more explosions so it can be sold to casuals unfortunately.
