They have nothing to prove, people will buy this no matter what and thats all they care about.

what are you talking about, the game already looks 'good'.

All they need to really do is add

>"terminators" with bolt action rifles and grenades
>Fix vehicle mechanics and change them from motocross racecars to being slow and quirky.
>class system gets simplified to specialist, leaders with bot(s), and vehicle handlers

There, I just made a fun game incredibly addictive.

It seems really disappointing in that it's just a Battlefield 4 reskin after they went on and on about how the new setting would change everything

They aren't utilizing the setting at all

I view this as nothing more than a setup for the return of the WW2 shooter

meh

>let's make an arcade game realistic to the point where it's no fun because muh realism
You're stupid

I never believed they'd make a fucking WW1 game (with a nigger on the cover at that) over 2143.

UNTIL I read the assblast over Infinite Warfare's setting.

>>342769467
This.

It is absolutely a Battlefield reskin in every way.

>>342769684
>if you wanted the game to be ANYTHING like WWI you want a simulator

Hello, EA marketer.

>>342769757
You need pay closer attention to the industry. They gave us a break from Ze Nazis so they could get into "blacks and womyn made history, not you crackers"

>>342769684
>All the human players get the nifty gear and spots
>Game ends up playing in a much more unique way relative to other FPS's.

Might as well make Modern Warfare with WW1 skins then.

>2016
>Seven Nation Army
Talk about overuse

>>342769467
So you want it to be realistic trench warfare for 8 years straight? Maybe they can add a trench foot perk. Or a carbon monoxide death achievement.
>Command your battalion in 2 incredible scenarios
>Choose to charge no man's land into certain death OR stay in the trench where it's hot, wet and full of bugs and horny tired men
>Rape mini game
>Go gay to get sent home secret side mission
>Realistic rotten meat food poisoning features
>Die of dehydration, an infected cut, or lose your eyesight permenantly from parasites just like real life!

>>342772545
>Return home to a pregnant wife and beat her to death DLC
>Unlockable lost your job and become homeless new game plus content

>All this butthurt

Okay, here's how I set up battlefield 1 to be "Fun" and "realistic" at the same time.

>32 person team
>15-16 players per team are "specialist" class that is different from the standard [bolt action, pistol, grenade], based on weapons that are available at that time. For instance, say the Germans get 1 flamethrower, 1 AT guy, 5 SMG's, 3 Semi-automatic rifles, 3 LMG's and 2 Snipers.
>8 players on the team are "squad leaders", outfitted with bolt action rifles, pistols, grenades, smokes, and handle recon and "strategic" warfare (i.e. gas or artillery strike from offmap).
>8-9 players handle the allotted vehicles per side.
>Each of the squad leaders gets 1-2 bots with sophisticated AI that are armed simply with bayoneted rifles and grenades, and the squad leader serves as a spawn point for specialist classes.

>None of the flesh and blood players are stuck with shit outfits, while a sizeable proportion of the team is outfitted similar to what you would expect on a WW1 battlefield.

All you really need to do is make absolutely certain that the AI for those bots is refined.

Then, you can have huge battles that play out like a world war I battle would.

World war 1 was trench warfare you idiot. No one ever made a game about it because it was miserable and a lot of deaths were from disease, famine, exhaustion or freezing to death in mud trenches. There was no big epic battles. The only guns used were basically the Browning or the colt. Even then with such close quarters hand to hand combat, or getting stabbed to death was far more likely than getting shot. You can't do a realistic ww1 shooter and make it fun in any way. It was shitty. What you're describing is probably what battlefield 1 will be though. And i look forward to it. I've done 8 tours and we played an assload of battlefield and cod on deployment.

Trench warfare is 1915-early 1917.
It becomes more mobile and WW2-esque near the end.

>>342773895
No it really didn't. Most of those guys stayed in trenches throughout. There was some mobile forces but it primarily was inch battle through trench warfare. I will concede that it was less of an inch battle towards the end though. That is factual

Battlefield 1 is a WW2 shooter with a WW1 skin.

>>342774140
This, its disappointing really.
