So, like in every BF game before?
>5 or 6 different classes
So, like in most BF games before?
>Gas will be changing maps, making complete zones unwalkable
Oh, so they found a new way to replace "return or you will be shot" when leaving the map boundaries
>Probably alt WW1
I bet this just means more automatic weapons for ADS kiddies and "power x vs. power y" even though that might not have happened in the real WW1.

>>337142467
Did they confirm player sizes? I haven't seen anything that dictates it's above 64 players yet.
Excited for it regardless though. Lots of asymmetrical gameplay, weapons are a lot more niche and designed around a specific task, and no fucking lock ons. I see a lot of high skill level gameplay coming for this game.
>>337143070

I want to believe it will be decent but 4 and hardline have proved to me that they don't know what they're doing anymore
>>337143217
If you think gaming is anywhere near as good as it was from the early 2000s or earlier, then you shouldn't be surprised why this shit is as good thing and has been devoid of games for far too long.
>>337143287
Yeah, I'm sure after BF4 EA and DICE totally want another BF4 launch even though they mentioned exhaustively at the reveal and prior to that they don't want to repeat those mistakes.
>>337143287
Why did you even try Hardline
That was visible from space it was gonna be a horrible, especially since they had Need for Speed people working on it mainly.
>>337142467
>alt WW1
They have insisted that it would be historically accurate, women in combat notwithstanding
It has a lot of things from Battlefield 1942, 2142 and 3/4 with some new things from WW1, thats why Im excited
Battlefield with quick theme changes. They did the same shit with the star wars edition.
Open your eyes cucks.
Dice's melee combat is awful though, you just know it's going to boil down to however can initiate the backstab animation first wins.
>>337143507
It's considered a 'Visceral' game, so the Dead Space guys, actually.
>>337142467
>Multiplayer of 64vs64 again in huge maps

Unfortunately for me, they were right about it being shit.

>>337143035
>I bet this just means more automatic weapons for ADS kiddies and "power x vs. power y" even though that might not have happened in the real WW1.
That's exactly what it means, it just means all the prototype weapons that never made it into production or conflict will be available to use. Realistically infantry loadouts would end up being 90% bolt action, 1% machine gun and 9% shotgun, but that's too boring for modern day ADHD kiddies so they added all the prototype shit to keep them happy, when in real life they would never have seen battle.
>>337142814
Yeah sure, its been 3 years since BF4 came out and its s till 30-60 quid with the dlc, face it EA knows about people waiting and refuses to drop the price
>>337143967
WUZ KANGZ N SHIET!?
>>337143851
Yes, I can add numbers. My question was if it was announced as 64 vs 64 or 32 vs 32 (totaling 64). It sounds like the latter.
>More focus on melee combat incuding bayonetas
They tried a melee/counter system in BF4. It was shit, DICE netcode won't allow balanced and satisfying melee
>Multiplayer of 64vs64 again in huge maps
They've never officially allowed this, assume you mean 32v32, and they're on record as saying they think 40 is the best amount for previous shit
>Multi protags campaign

Featuring americlaps
>Different vehicles with different ways to drive them

20th century war games were the best. I was a huge Medal of Honor/COD 2 fan. Especially with the modern cod fans this is actually pretty ballsy to do a WW game in this day.
>>337144293
I don't know about that, Hardline had a pretty solid launch all things considered. The game flopped hard but it worked.
Although that could be down to the fact that DICE didn't make it, but then again, Battlefront had a pretty solid launch too.
>>337142467
>Multiplayer of 64vs64 again in huge maps
I thought it was 64 players max in other words 32vs32
Even if they wanted, how is 64vs64 gonna work?
if they use the same maps there will be total chaos and nobody will know who's shooting.
if they make them larger they will only add more deadzones across the map.
>>337144541
Didn't EA said it met expectation
Isn't the population dead?
>>337144583
32vs32 can already be total chaos at times. They're really going to have to be on point with their map design but given their track record i don't think they will be.
>>337144756
ALL GAME MODES MUST BE PLAYABLE ON THE SAME MAP!
>>337144750
It met their sales expectations but everyone stopped playing it shortly after release.
>>337144541
Yeah, technically the only issue Hardline had on launch was the TDM spawn system.
Dice is literally one of the worst companies in the modern game industry, hand off Battlefield to a new dev and kill Dice and Frostbite.
No Canucks no buy
Wasn't the last Battlefield game like horribly broken? As in people couldn't even play it for like two weeks and theres a huge laundry list of things that were wrong with it?
>>337145154
I think that's more a problem with the gamemode itself and map design as a whole. Most if not all games with TDM have some form of spawn issue.
>>337143217
And that's bad how?
sure its contrarian here
>>337145324
Not the last Battlefield overall but the last one that wasn't a spin off was pretty damn broken and it took them 2-3 years to fix it, some might say it still hasn't been fixed.
>>337145481
It's not bad, but it's funny how it's being advertised like it has never been there before.
And btw, have they said what kind of ships will be controllable?
>>337144541
it worked because it was basically a bf4 DLC that had years to be fixed.
>>337145419
Yeah, but in Hardline's case it was -really- broken. Like people literally spawning behind you just after you spawned. Or spawning on top of explosive devices.
I think we haven't seem any gameplay so I can't form an opinion beyond liking the theme.
>>337145724
>the theme.
what theme? seven nation army digital fart edition?
>>337145872
Think he means setting.
>>337145943
And we don't even know how much we can like it, since it's "alternative WWI" and that could mean anything.
>>337143035
If you want an accurate ww1 simulator, why in the hell would you expect EA to do one? Look somewhere else, I'm sure you'll find one on steam somewhere
>>337143035
>I bet this just means more automatic weapons for ADS kiddies
People are saying 2 classes out of four are full auto. The only one using bolt-action by default is the sniper.
If they do cavalry in an intersting way it could still be salvagable. Though knowing DICE I don't expect mounts to be anything more than an on-rails segment of the CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE brought to you by Stronk Womym of Colour (TM).
>>337146131

Serious question, are you a paid shill or actually this retarded?
>>337146120
i just hope the games will not be filled with submachines that shoot at 1000 rpm
>>337142467
it has Blackies and a woman in it so that's an automatic no buy.
>>337146409
I bet there will be a class that can hip fire MGs.
>>337146120
>since it's "alternative WWI"
it's not. they said it's "just ww1"
>>337146489
No need to bet, that's already confirmed senpai.
>>337146489
There's one in the trailer, the guy that puts on the gas mask.
>>337146482
I just hope that woman is a single character and they don't actually allow you to play one in multiplayer
>>337146346
Hip firing isn't really a cod thing since you can ADS in half a second
>>337146603
I just watched the trailer once, didn't see if that was an actual MG.
>>337146489
well if they don't shoot at ridiculous rpm that's ok
just the jumping and spraying stuff is ridiculous
>>337145669
Wheres the trailer that says "This Has NEVER BEEN DONT BEFORE!!!!"?
>>337146538
Then where are all these prototype weapons coming out of? It isn't historically accurate if they're being used on the battlefield.
>>337143573
all games based on real life are alternate history, anything you do is different from the real thing.
>>337144093
No. Not like that. They mean each tank will drive differently, meaning there are different controls for each individual vehicle. Not the vehicle classes.
>>337146740
They were used on the battlefield, just for the last few months of the war and in small numbers. The problem isn't inaccuracy, it's the fact most of these weapons stayed over for WW2 and new ones developed... essentially meaning you'll get WW2 with LESS content than the actual WW2 instead of a whole new era.
>all these cunts complaining that it's not a realistic simulator of WW1
Alright, so games aren't supposed to be about fun or solid gameplay but about fucking simulating reality? There aren't many realistic war games for a reason. Go play Arma if you're so desperate or better yet, go play fucking Verdun.
>>337146676
It's a Lewis Gun
>>337147063
I repeat my question, does EA pay you for this or are you legitimately retarded?
>>337147037
But seeing them in the hands of mulitple soldiers on the same battlefield never would have happened. These prototypes were extremely expensive to produce at the time so they weren't going to give them to frontline soldiers who were likely just going to die.
>>337146346
>>337146392
You're expecting DICE and their Battlefield series to shell out a realistic game. You can't honestly be genuinely fucking expecting this to be the case. They're not aiming for a simulator or realism and never claimed this. It's a moot point and completely unnecessary to whine about this. There's even Verdun, another WW1 game, that tries to be on the realistic side and at the same time fun yet you choose Battlefield?
Am I the only one stoked at the real possibility that AIR DOG FIGHTS are coming back? No more supersonic strafing runs. Back to barrel rolling, dive bombing, gunning down and chasing fucking tri & bi-planes and be an ace pilot again.
I'm really fucking hoping they'll at least work to put that shit in.
>>337142927
there are a ton of those already, aren't there? back in the ps2 era
>>337147259
I don't understand, did you thin that they would deviate from their franchise long dedication to casual unrealistic game play just for this one game? If you wan't a realistic FPS go play Verdun or Red Orchestra.
>>337147434
I'm more happy that planes can be shit down with regular small arms fire
>>337147432
>Repeating the same strawman despite being called out
How much per hour?
>>337142927
If this game went for a historically accurate depiction of WW1 you'd be miserable the entire time just like actual WW1 soldiers were. It wasn't a "fun" or heroic war.
>>337147408
And? The last game had every soldier carrying a fucking heat seeking missile in his ass. Why would they make this game realistic when every single other game hasn't been?
>>337144068

>>337147673
The last game was a near-future/modern setting, most people don't care about authenticity in settings like that, people do care about authenticity in historical settings, real wars where real people lost their lives, it should be an experience, not just some shallow form of entertainment.

>tfw got BF4 premium for $20

>>337150182
I want Battlefield's arcade shooting combined with an autistic adherence to making it 'feel' as WWI as possible. Doesn't have to be 100% accurate, but everyone on each side getting the same uniforms and loadouts being historically correct for each nation with limits on the rarer loadouts like machine and submachine guns.
In fact, you could have it so everyone starts with the basic rifle + class gear and gaining score gives you 'requisition points' that you can spend to spawn with machine gun/submachine gun/etc loadouts and for one life, and there can only be so many of each of these on the field for each team at a time.
>>337144068
BF4 was like £15 not that long ago and for the past 6 months, EA have been giving the DLCs out for free on origin.
>>337150627

If you ask 12 year olds abour red orchestra nobody knows what you are talking about.
But with well known EA and their add campaigns they will think it is okay to play games about an event their grandparents died in.
EA has an educational function they are not respecting. And that's actually a problem.

>>337151018
who gives a shit, you're not sitting down and thinking philosophically about the deaths of the virtual soldiers in your game, are you?
>>337144093
>Same 4 as usual, with pilot/tank driver added (can't enter a vehicle as another class)
this aint Project Reality, that would never work
>>337151001
I think they're going the CoD2 route where it back and forths between each story and theatre. Could be wrong but that's what it sounds like.
>>337151018

Holy shit, the fucking level of bullshit shit you fags come out with....
>>337142467
>Alt WWI.
Fuck off. All of this futuristic and "what-if" scenario is what everyone wanted to get away from.
already preordered for35€
>>337151361
It's not alt history, they're just making prototype weaponry more widely available. Sounds stupid as fuck but they have to add something to keep the CoD-kiddies entertained.
>>337148147
>trenches in Paris
Back to history class you go burger.
>>337150894
You just described Verdun but without the combined arms. And again playing in a Mark IV or A7 would be fucking boring, plus any infantry with a grenade could penetrate your armor and anyone who could call in arty could fillet you before you moved five feet. The bullshit arcade-ness of Battlefield is probably the only way to make playing in WW1 combat vehicles fun. Because lets remember they're never remembered for having thick armor or huge firepower, but being able to morally demolish an enemy who had no idea how to fight them. Which obviously wouldn't work in an online shooter.
>>337151361
No, people wanted to get away from the boring modern setting that BF, CoD and a bunch of other games have done for a while now
>>337151116
I'm thinking of the children that will be affected by this jackshit.

Whether it will work or not set vehicle classes is what they're going ahead with.
>>337151665
this guy..
>Vehicles without any Engineer class or RPGs to counter them
Yeah this isn't going to be a fun experience. They kept nerfing all vehicle counters in BF4 and now they make a game that has none.

>>337150627
>100 years is nothing, those of us who aren't children knew or albeit unlikely still know people who fought in The Great War and it's a war that still affects us to this day.
This
I wouldn't mind if they at least said they were going to play the history pretty loose, but they say they are telling historical stories and then adding details for the lolz
I don't mind games like wolfenstein and the saboteur because they don't claim themselves historically accurate
Basically fps console babies are going to see this and swear up and down that they know all about WW1, spread misinformation and before you know it the war is going to be tarnished in society because they decided to be irresponsible and play with the history. Pretty much exactly what happened when 300 came out, but Zack Snyder didn't claim historical accuracy like the swedes.commence shitposting for a serious opinion
>>337151665
>I'm thinking of the children that will be affected by this jackshit.
Why
Why do you care
Why do you care about some random kids thinking about things in a way that you don't find fitting
This is some next level tier stupidity
>>337151801
>tank top speed 5km/h

>>337151665
Waaayyyyy more kids are affected by Grand Theft Auto. Stop taking such a moral high ground, you look like a twat.
>>337151808
>>337151782
See it's already too late.
>>337151665
An entire generation is going to grow up thinking this is an accurate interpretation of WW1.
People seem to think that won't be the case but it most certainly will, the movies and games we grew up with shaped what we think WW2 was like, this will be no different and potentially be much worse.
>>337151801
They've said the assault class will counter them with explosives
>>337151918
>It's okay because something somewhere is worse
>>337151816
>>337150627
>many of us still know people that are on average 100-120 years old
no not this
but the rest of what you said, yes I agree with you. The war had big results in western europe and did a lot to damage the optimism of the 20th century.
>>337151863
>Basically fps console babies are going to see this and swear up and down that they know all about WW1, spread misinformation and before you know it the war is going to be tarnished in society because they decided to be irresponsible and play with the history.
Even for this board, this line of thinking is straight up fucking pants-on-head retarded
Just read that sentence again
Bet most of you guys think WW 2 was about great american soldiers killing evil nazis and saving the day.
>>337151867
>Why do you care
>This is some next level tier stupidity
>>337152203
It truly is retarded, these are the same people that shitpost about SJW.
If an SJW wrote what this faggot is posting there would be shitposting threads about it all day long full of people laughing about it.
>>337152118
If you are 25+ and the parents of your grandparents were still alive when you were a kid it is definitely possible.
>anon stop killing virtual soldiers its not nice, respect them!
>>337151863
You fucking retards
Consolekids don't play Battlefield
They play the campaign for like 2 missions, the multiplayer for like 2 matches, get ridiculously stomped by veteran players, and go back to CoD or FIFA
Its not going to "affect" fucking anything
>>337152070
Because GTA has the same influence, even worse because it's about criminality and murder civilians (really doing whatever the fuck you want). These games aren't fucking supposed to be played by kids, they have an age limit on them, jackwad. If kids play it anyway they're doing something they're not supposed to and that's on the parents.
Look, I get why you're worried. But you did the same shit as a kid. It's normal to worry about kids but just think about the circumstances more.

Nigga Battlefield has become just as big as Cowadoody on consoles. Every console kiddie plays Battlefield.

Do please explain what is the "point" then?
>>337152635

Actually read his post, it didn't even mention WW1
>>337151635
>plus any infantry with a grenade could penetrate your armor
That's why anti-grenade netting on the top of the tank was extremely common, and a grenade going off next to one isn't going to do a damn thing unless it's a very large grenade.
>anyone who could call in arty could fillet you before you moved five feet
Tanks were only knocked out regularly by artillery because each engagement had dozens of guns firing hundreds or thousands of shells at the area; it was not a precision weapon. Any artillery call-in would probably only fire ten or so shells, and with 'proper' accuracy they probably won't land close enough to damage the thing.
>they're never remembered for having thick armor or huge firepower
Seven Whippet tanks (the smaller ones) once engaged two entire German infantry battalions in open battle. Both battalions were effectively wiped out and over 400 men were killed. A big armoured box that most weapons can't hurt and is bristling with machine guns was an incredibly formidable weapon when it came to combat with enemy soldiers, which is what Battlefield 1 centres around.
>>337152712
>as big as cowadoody on consoles
grade A bullshit my friend.
>>337151665
You should probably keep your children away from all forms of digital media then. Rarely is it know to be accurate or factual.
>>337146489
>you cant hip fire MGs
Wrong. You can find images online from field manuals about hip firing lewis guns and things. Also the MP18 existed.
Let's make a game about the War of Secession!
But it's a bit boring, so let's give them some portable gatling guns here and there, have them fight in the Grand Canyon and add the helicopter designed by Leonardo da Vinci. And let's also make the protagonist an asian woman.

PC makes up 1.3 million out of the 13.8 million of Battlefield 4's total sales.
Yeah, consolekiddies do play Battlefield, your favorite game is no where near as "hardcore" as you seem to think it is.
>Multiplayer will include the forest of Argonne, desert maps set in Africa or the Middle East, the Alps in Italy and French Villages.
infantry classes are Assault, Medic, Support and Scout.
>The assault is a close quarter class carrying sub-machine guns, shotguns and anti-tank grenades.
>The medic carries medkits and probably semi-automatic rifles.
>The support carries light machine guns, provides ammo to comrades and repairs vehicles.
>The scout is a sniper class and can use rifles with a side-mounted optic.
>There is dynamite and you can detonate it with a plunger.
>Melee weapons include sabers, trench maces, bayonets and spades. They have different characteristics. Some have better reach and some are faster.
>Takedown animations are very quick.
>The trailer shows fighters, but there are also bombers available. They can drop ordinance on the battlefield.
>Tanks that were shown behind closed doors are the British Mark IV (that also appeared in the trailer), the German A7V Sturmpanzerwagen and the French Renault FT-17.
>Some tanks can carry a squad of five players.
>The Vickers Crossley Armored Car Model 25 is also in the game.
>Tanks play and feel very different from each other, with different weapons, speed and nuances, as opposed to Battlefield 4 in which they’re pretty much mirrors.
>There’s a lot more destriction in the game than in previous games, stepping away from scripted Levolution and back to dynamic destruction.
>There will be a persistent squad system. You can squad up with four other players (five total) and you’ll always be in that squad.
>Some sort of weapon of customization will be available, providing different flavors of each weapon.
>Stationary machine guns and anti-arcraft guns are also in the game.
>A short clip of someone carrying a weapon while riding a horse was shown behind closed doors.

You forgot:
>Day 1 DLC that will once again split the player base
>>337153437
lel who cares, it shoots bullits fast, so you can run n' gun.
>>337152967
I get your point, but in a game arty barrages are gonna be faster and more accurate. In the game people will be running around with AP bullets in their rifles, more than enough to pen the <20mm armor that most tanks had. Players are gonna know exactly where to hit tanks and what with and are gonna have means to do so. Any other style of play for tanks apart from Third person arcade bullshit would be plain unsuitable seeing as to how shit the first tanks where visibility wise.
>>337152960
Oh sorry I get what you meant.
>>337153434
first DLC will be free, confirmed
>>337147991
>it should be an experience not just some shallow form of entertainment
I cant believe this is what video games have turned into and these people really exist. God help us all.
>>337142467
I think it will play exactly like B3, B4, and Hardline. It will have the same level of EA bullshit that every game they publish has, and just as much DLC garbage that separates the terrible community.
Why is everyone excited? Or are we experiencing shilling at hand? No one ever talks about modern Battlefield.
>>337153323
Pretty sure the trailer showed bombers too, in the clip with guy firing a rear turret in a plane.
>>337153434
How will it split the playerbase if everyone's getting free access to the DLC?
>>337153319
Sauce for thine claim?
>>337153254
Too bad the two seconds of Lewis Gun footage from the trailer show the player apparently shouldering the thing like a gigantic rifle with his forward hand on the barrel shroud.
>>337153678

Oh i'm sorry, i meant one of the many, many DLCs to follow
>>337153587
I liked 3. The jet mission was pretty cool.
4 sucked. I didnt even bother with hardline.
Gone are the days of 1942.
>you will never buddy up with a random player and stand on the wings of his bomber strafing germans at el alamein
>>337153934
Post yfw you learn the barrel shroud is filled with water as a coolant and not just a big fucking red hot barrel
