who is hyped for battlefield 1?
I'm very excited to play the same game I have been playing for 5 years now.
after falling for the BF3 hype, no
>>339419021
>WW1
>same game
okay anon
>>339419209

As long as Dice isn't making it I'll buy it

>>339416830
I don't even care. Battlefield 3 was pretty good, and 4 was (or I suppose is now) fantastic; probably still my favorite MP. I skipped hardline and battlefront but I am hype for this one.
Reminder that they're putting a female soldier in a WW1 game.
>>339420860
And /v/ will defend it.
>>339420860
Dice also said that America was the most involved in WW1
>>339420860
No they fucking aren't.
r-right?
>tfw France will barely appear in the game whilst America wins the entire war
>>339421020
Also they aren't putting france in.

BF4 is really fucking fun, so I am hyped.
It is DICE and EA though, so I wont get it on release.
Should I be excited? Any gameplay footage that proves it's not just a reskin like hard-line or battlefront?

>>339421396
there are youtubers who attended the reveal conference and have said that the in-game engine trailer is almost the exact same as the gameplay. so that's enough reason to be hyped imo
I liked the trailer and stuff but I'm just playing Verdun instead
will it have a good campaign or is it mainly multiplayer?
>>339421326
BUT THEY DID HAVE FULL AUTO SMALL ARMS IDIOT. JUST LOOK AT THIS ONE SUPER EARLY PROTOTYPE WEAPON THAT WAS DEPLOYED IN ONE SMALL SKIRMISH AND THEN SHIT CANNED FOR NOT WORKING.
>>339421396

if you care for ww1 and some basic accuracy, no you shouldn't.
>>339420031

Are you retarded
I was excited until i found out only snipers will be using rifles and they will just pretend everyone else had machine guns during WW1.
this thread reminds me of a cringy nigger sitting next to a bunch of other cringyniggers at something that's called a speedrunning marathon who says repeatedly

GUYS WHO'S HYPED FOR THE NEXT ONE!?
>>339421108
I honestly can't believe that someone would make a WW1 game and not feature the battle of Verdun. It would be like a WW2 not featuring the D-Day landings or Stalingrad.
>>339416830
Hyped as fuck. Was just finishing a podcast series on WW1 when the trailer dropped. Hate DICE but I'm getting it for the setting.
>>339422435
Dice is playing on the fact that tons of people don't know anything about WW1 and that they can just say ITS WW2 BUT OLDER
I don't even want a WW1 game from them, I want more WW2 island games.
I really liked bad company 2. I played a decent amount of 3, less of 4, and by hardline I checked out after the beta
I'm glad this one is switching it up but I don't know if it will be enough
>>339422591
But, anon...
Will you actually get the setting is the question you should be asking yourself.
>>339419328
You're the sucker that helps these terrible games get made.
>>339422435
Its not 100% confirmed but the fact that there were no French uniforms in the trailer makes me think that they wont be in it. Im also guessing the majority of troops on both sides will be sprinting around with Mp18s or Machine guns. Unless they give bolt actions a super fast rate of fire
>battlefield one
>xbox one
When will this 'one' meme stop? It's not even that cool.
Next thing you know we're gonna have a Nintendo One, a Playstation One and a Call of Duty One.
>>339423350
There already is a PSone and a CoD Big Red One

Dude what. That could easily be a guy in his early 20s.

That's clearly some sort of native cavalry muslim bullshit though. Not an actual woman in the trenches. It would've been rare and the woman would've died right away likely, but it's better than an actual trench soldier.

GamesBeat: You’re talking about revealing sides of the war that people don’t necessarily know about. A lot of people have made note of the fact that your cover character is black, even though obviously black people fought in World War One. For you guys, was that a conscious decision, an opportunity to show that there was more breadth to this war than people know about?

They fucking made up a bullshit rifle and put it in the premier trailer of the game. Of the countless rifles that existed during the war, they made one up. Fuck.
>>339424564
MAN STANDING WITH A MINIGUN AND FIRING IT WHILE HE IS CLAD IN HEAVY PLATE ARMOR is, in my humble opinion, by far the worst thing they made up.

Uhh no thanks anon
>>339424757
>Minigun
You're even worse, fuck off with that.
Yes, the heavy armor bullshit is ridiculous, but at least there were machine guns during the war that COULD have been hipfired. The MG-08/15 for example.
>>339424564
wait where's the made up rifle
should i reinstall bf3 or play bf4
note that I played in pubs casually and did not notice very much difference between guns besides a little recoil
>>339424379
>We want to show diversity in the game
>99.9% of combatants were fighters of different backgrounds, nationalities, and religions but they were white so we won't focus on them

wew lad
>>339424956
I'm not saying it's impossible, and I just checked the trailer again. You can't make out what model he is firing but I just kinda filled in the blanks in my head and in there it was a minigun.
If I wanted to claim that is was impossible to fire a machine gun while standing I would have called it out in the previous scene when a guy is walking/lightly sprinting while mowing down a German soldier.
I just think that, the way it's portrayed in the trailer, is really silly. To have a class/something which is basically a heavy weapons guy from TF2. Machine guns were not employed in that fashion during WW1.
>>339425093
Someone should make a mod that makes on team black women and the other team white men. Make it so that the men don't have any weapons and are not allowed to pickup anything either.
>>339425046
Here. They gave the Italians(??) in the trailer this thing, which has a Mauser action but beyond that is fucking bullshit.
There wasn't any rifle like this in the war, it almost looks like they tried to make something RESEMBLE a WWII era Carcano. Which didn't exist in fucking 1914-1918.
It's baffling, why not just give them some other rifle that was modeled already, why go through the effort of making something to look like this?
>>339424956
>>339424757
>heavy armor didnt exist during WW1
They were fucking prototypes but I bet you wont complain when germans are fielding Mondragon rifles en mass.
Pretty much everything in the trailer is semi-accurate with the exception of that ridiculous bolt action placeholder, that stupid fucking bedouin woman shoehorn, and some of the zeppelins and planes.
>>339425418
>implying DICE Sweden won't include this as a default game mode
>>339425429
One part of the trailer showed a larger scope off to the side of the rifle ala hybrid scopes. It's at 0:49 and looks like the same rifle.
>>339420860
What a qt.
>>339425429
It could just be a placeholder or DICE being lazy on details since it only appeared for a split second in the trailer
>>339425513
Guess what? The body armor they did employ was used by machine gunners and spotters, people who didn't move around too much since it was really heavy to carry around. I have never seen/heard of fucking METAL MASKS covering the entire face and the body armor they did employ was used to protect the vital organs in the torso, it did not cover the entire body.
There were automatic small arms used during WW1, does that mean that it's fair for every fucking player in the game to get one? No. Not even if it's "semi accurate". It's about staying true to the setting, in my opinion.
WE
>>339425358
Oh of course it's silly, this game is getting more and more ridiculous the more I hear/see about it.
They've already stated that bolt-action rifles, the mainstay of the war, are only the main weapons for the scout class. They have a whole class dedicated to SMGs, and fucking semi-auto rifles. They don't care at all. The amount of lazy half-assed shit in the trailer is unreal.

Are you retarted
>not the same game different era
It still using Frostbite 3. The games just a glorified map pack with different guns.
>>339425812
I agree about staying true to the setting. This game is going to be hot garbage by concept alone. Moving in that armor without years of training and conditioning is a joke.
However, that metal mask did exist (I think it was a hungarian prototype, wish I had a link). So it's not such a stretch to say that full body armor existed as well.
>>339425690
Here's a shitty screen cap of that frame.
>>339425513
The issue isn't the existence of heavy armor, it's the armor ITSELF and the way in which it is being used.
Yes, armor was tested and developed during the war, the Germans having their famous "Lobster tail" design. Masks, plates, and all other designs were given limited fielding and usually for snipers, spotters, and MG gunners.
But still, there are no examples or proof of full body plate like that shown. He's got little shoulder pieces and arm guards and everything.
>>339425812
>>339425513
Italians had a body armor called the Farina, which as you can see from the holes didn't work for shit and just turned the troopers into more interesting targets,
>>339425974
>missing his point this much
>>339425996
DICE have decided they want to be on the RIGHT SIDE of history.
>>339426270
They aren't holes they are dents. Seems like armor did work after all.
>>339419209
BF3 would have been fine if they levels were better, and vehicles didn't have an upgrade unlock tree. I would say having unlockable items is cancer and battlelog was too much, but both of those started from BF2.
>>339426340
I understand your point and it is valid, but it's hypocritical to call them out on vastly misrepresenting the demographics of the combatants while you do the same thing. Most of the largest belligerents in the war had large colonial empires and fielded a significant amount of troops from those colonies.
>>339426256
It might have existed but I'm guessing it was hardly widely employed and honestly, sure there was probably some schmuck running around somewhere wearing something similar to what we see in the trailer but does that justify DICE making it into a class/possible for several players to play at the same time? While I will admit that we have not seen any details yet the fact that they are showing it in the trailer points to it appearing in the game. Maybe it's a single player thing only, who knows.
But just because some guy did something like only once somewhere does not justify putting these things in the game to begin with. It was never common practice to run around with body armor and they quit using it a couple of centuries earlier for a reason as this guy shows >>339426270
>>339426262
I watched the trailer again for that spot, it isn't the same rifle, not exactly. The rifle in that shot actually has a rear and front sight, and appears to have a proper full stock. So that raises even more questions, if THAT asset was ready, why not just give the Italians those? Why pay somebody to model a made up thing, if you had those rifles already ready?
Ignoring the idea of having Italian soldiers using German Mausers, I would honestly be fine with that, at least they existed.
>>339426270
The real problem is the devs dont care about effectiveness.
In a Red Orchestra type game, such body armor would only provide protection against pistol rounds and glancing rifle shot from 100m+.
In the end, the number one reason armor is shit is because for some reason people forgot how to use proper padding. A man wearing a gambeson under WW1 plate is a lot more likely to survive a gunshot than a guy in just his uniform. Dont understand how that wasnt factored.
>>339426568
Anon I...
>>339426790
I won't pretend that I know shit about the weaponry of WW1 much less the intricate details of who did what, but explain the scope thing if you could. Were hybrid scopes a thing back in that time?
>>339426568
You can see the white background in the holes in 1 and 2. 3 is debatable and 4 and 5 look like the round didn't penetrate.
>>339426790
>Ignoring the idea of having Italian soldiers using German Mausers, I would honestly be fine with that, at least they existed.
The problem is that they were fighting each other.
Hell the Italians probably didn't see the Germans at all, they fought the Austro-Hungarian Empire which was allied with the Germans.
>>339426756
It's not right that Dice is putting it in, I was arguing that it existed, that's all.
You have to understand that this shit game isnt about realism. It's about "fun" for the lowest common denominator.
I mean, all the recent Battlefield are perfect examples of this.
>Every Assault is a Medic (which will likely carry on to this game. wonder what theyll use as defibrillators kek)
Just to name one example.
>game set in WWI
>no swastikas
Fuck censorship, and fuck the jews that made this game.
>>339419328
>BF3 was great tho
It started the downfall of the series and lowered time to kill so faggots could try hard medic in any situation. It is in no way a great game.
>>339427613
kek
>>339426737
To be fair senpai I was just exaggerating for the most part, but a vast majority of combatants were still "white", as loose as that racial definition tends to be. Though it's probably not as high as 90%, you're right.
What perplexes me with this is if DICE really wanted to make a racially "diverse" game, then they could've addressed any of the non-european fronts and still stuck to historical accuracy.
>>339427025
In the style shown in the trailer? None that I, or anyone else has been able to find, know of.
Although I'm familiar with your usage of the term hybrid scopes, off-set or side-mounted scopes came into more popular usage during WWII, but even then they were never that far off to the side.
As for scopes in general during the WWI, by and large they were not very successful. It wasn't seen as a thing that was even needed when the war started, and most of the scopes used were civilian hunting scopes.
>>339416830
Not hyped at all but I might buy it on release.
I would be. But EA. People seem to forget that BF4 launch. Or how BF3 was barely decent. Or how BF4 still isn't fixed. Or how DICE doesn't know what good map design or balance is.
I'm certain as shit this game will be another concept down the drain. Why people still give EA the benefit of the doubt is beyond me.
>>339427425
Of course, that's the biggest problem. I would have been at least just slightly less pissed as the rifle would have existed, as opposed to having been made up.
Again, I can see what they're doing, they were making something sort of look like a Cavalry Carcano carbine, but if you don't have the asset ready, don't show it during the premier trailer.
>>339427476
Probably morphine injectors of some sort.
>>339425093
>Singleplayer goes for something new instead of the same stuff that's been done for literally 100 years
Who cares? I'd sooner play as something interesting like a sworn virgin than something generic. The middle east is already neglected in favour of the few overdone snorefests of Somme and Ypres.
Of course, the game is going to be one-note regardless of what they do anyway since DICE can't make a good Battlefield campaign to save their skins.
>>339428570
>BF4 still isn't fixed
What?
Please elaborate.
>>339416830
>no french
>in a ww1 game

>>339429021
b-but in the trailers there were fmuslims.
>>339428784
While seeing them do something potentially new, chances are the middle east will be "Muh strong female cavalry fighter who can do no wrong."
That said, what devs would you trust to make a good WWI game that focuses on some of the lesser-known fronts of the war?
>Game about WW1
>Still forces diversity into the narrative
>>339429021

How are they exactly going to get away with that, seeing as they were part of the French 161st?

>buying ANOTHER battlefield game
Battlefield: star wars edition wasn't enough for you fucking retards?
>>339427476
I know that asking for realism in these games is next to impossible but they did it kinda well in BF 1942 BF 2142 and BF2 (The ones I've played, mainly, though I've tried out BF3) so I don't see why they are straying that much from a formula which worked well. I'm not saying BF 2142 is realistic in anyway but they made it believable and I'm not getting those vibes from BF 1.

I could write a book on why BF4 is still a broken mess. I used to try and say no no no, this isn't that bad. C'mon guys. It is fun! But I couldn't lie to myself much longer. Especially when DICE said they don't even know why people loved BFBC2. That pretty much confirmed that this series is only going downhill.
>>339429819
Judging by the fact that they Harlem Hellfighters DLC is all US guns (Which is bullshit), you probably play during the part of the war where the French and US met up for the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. With some hand-waving you can avoid showing the French all together, but it would be some huge fucking hand-waving.
Also, I think I just saw a WWII German Stalhelm in the trailer, and the more I look at it, the more I'm certain it is. During the part in the middle east where some guy is fumbling to run away from the tank (Seen here).
You can see the exact same soldier later where all the people are charging on horseback, and you can see the helmet from the front. It's not the WWI era Stalhelm, as far as I can tell as:
>There are no ventilator lugs on the sides
>The visor and skirt are reduced in size, far less pronounced than WWI era M1916/17/18 Stalhelms
I thought maybe it was the helmet the Ottomans used in WWI, as it's similar but without the front visor, but the visor can be seen in the trailer on the horseback part.
(I apologize for the history autism)
>>339430715
>I apologize for the history autism
no need to apologize
history autism is best autism
>>339430715
I dont know why they're shilling Hellfighters as the face of this game when it's DLC.
In all likelyhood, the campaign mission featuring the hellfighters will be 1 guy killing 20 germans since that actually happened.
I swear I'm going to laugh when you play as misunderstood pic related until it's revealed at the end of the character arc. A real 180, at last we will have true black and white gameplay.
>When we set out on this game, we wanted to depict not just the common view of what the war was like. We wanted to challenge some preconceptions. We want to delve into some of the unknowns of World War One. Maybe people don’t know that this person fought or that person fought, that this army was involved. We’re stretching out and bringing all those stories into the game. But I can’t go into any specific details as far as which armies or characters we’re depicting at this point.

>Italian front
Italy vs Germany and Austria
>Middle east/ottoman front
Great Britain vs Ottoman empire
>>339432724
Judging from the trailer theres maps set in the middle east so expect some Lawrence of Arabia Shennanigans. Doubt they'll show the battles in the colonies though. If they really did want to make it 'diverse' they could set some maps or a singleplayer mission in East Africa (with some troops being natives) but they would have to avoid questions of war crimes if they did desu

I can't imagine the amount of nonsense needed to make that make sense. I would be livid.
Also, I've been scouring everything trying to identify and find sources for the type of uniform shown in >>339430715
His tunic I can determine, is a German cut, and if we pretend the Helmet isn't WWII era, we can confirm this guy is German.
With that knoweldge in mind, we can see his pants have a red stripe down the side. My German uniform knowledge is lacking on some areas, but piping/striping was a thing the Germans did, so that seems some what in place. Judging from what I know, that type of wide stripe, as opposed to the thin piping of the enlisted, is indicative of a an Officer.
So with this in mind, and the location being Afghanistan/Turkey/Ottoman Empire, a German officer being present could potentially mean he's a part of the Asia Corps. Which, if that is what DICE intended, is interesting, as that is definitely a lesser known part of the war.
With that in mind, him being an officer, and his uniform being white could happen, as officers were known to privately purchase white uniforms for the summer.
His sleeve patch is still grossly out of place, being a patch that wasn't used during WWI. The star patch on the sleeve was the rank identifier of an Oberschütze during during WWII (And a few years leading up to it). Oberschütze is effectively a Private First Class, which is even weirder that an officer would be wearing it.
