This is the first world war. This is what it looks like. This is what the new Battlefield should look like.
I just want people to understand how horrifying this war was and how fucking unsuitable it is for a modern FPS.
>>336710896
It's based around an American protagonist. Effectively, that means it covers the last 12 minutes of the war.
I think if any time was best to make a AAA shooter based on WW1 it's a hundred years after it actually happened.
1. People might bother to learn what the war was like
2. The people actually involved are all mostly dead, so we don't have to feel bad about making light of the horrors they took part in.
Two of my great uncles were in the first world war.
They were both ambulance drivers, and neither realised the other was there. They drove past each other once during one of the major battles, and that was when they found out. They both died of typhoid in 1918, just before the end of the war.
It's not a war for making a videogame about.
>no arty spam sundering the earth
>no fuckhueg attacks on trenches
>it's just modern style warfare with a ww1 skin
So what will the player count be, 32 max?
>>336711906
>Two of my great uncles were in the first world war.
Then you must be very, very old.
>>336712021

On PC it might be upped to 64 like their previous titles.
>>336711471
>It's based around an American protagonist
I most certainly hope not. If anything it should be German, French, Austrian, British or Russian. Fuck, even Ottoman, just anyone but not American.
>>336711906
>It's not a war for making a videogame about.
A war that ended 98 years ago "isn't a war for making a videogame about" because your great uncles died of typhus.
But every other war in human history is fine.
How the fuck old are you anyway if your grampappy's brothers were both dead in 1918?
>>336712208
Great, great uncles then. My mother's mother's uncles.
>>336712243
>I most certainly hope not.
It's got an American nigger protagonist. Which is kind of ironic because the Americans put all their nigger forces under French command for the two weeks that America was actually in the war.
Every war is horrible and every war is unsuitable for FPS you fucking mongrel
>>336712243
Don't forget Canadians, and Indians, and Algerians, and the various other colonies.
Anyone except from Americans, who did absolutely EVERYTHING they could to avoid the war for as long as physically possible and only turned up when it was already won.
>>336712381

>VIDEO GAMES NEED TO BE COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY REALISTIC!!!!!

There were plenty of niggers fighting in WW1. And arabs, and indians.

That's my point. Everyone was there. Apart from the Americans.
>>336710896
>there will never be a full-on war strategy game with generals on each side overseeing the battle, artillery squads, air support, anti-air, infantry, naval support (when applicable), reconnaisance, etc...
It really could be the best strategy game of all time and the biggest-scaled team game ever.
>>336712774
Misquoted, I read too quickly.
>Being upset that America is the most relevant country in the world
The only logical thing to do would be to complain on an American imageboard
>>336712243
>Tfw you will never play the Italian front
Feels bad man. My grandmother and mother come from the region that the Italian front was fought in (Friuli) and my great great grandfather was a Bersaglieri in the war as well.
>>336712891
We'll never get that. Games need to feed the ego of every babby by letting them get cheap kills for doing nothing. See overwatch.
>>336712972
When the first American troops arrived, they had outdated rifles and no artillery. The French had to provide both. Then the Americans refused to cooperate with the other Allies and insisted on getting an entire front to themselves. When they finally consented to work with the Canadians in mid-1918, the Americans refused to use creeping bombardments and just charged machine gun nests. When that failed, they promptly began shelling the Canadian trenches.
Truly, American involvement in the First World War was a fucking joke. The only outcome they had on the war was the vague threat that maybe one day, possibly five or six years after entering the war, they might field enough manpower to win a war of attrition.

The only thing that games shares with WWI is its timeline.
Why did they make a battlefield in WW1 instead of a napoleonic wars one? You get to stand around in formation and shoot four times a minute, then maybe you get to charge with bayonets if your officer thinks you're winning.
This is more or less how retarded a WW1 shooter would be, but with way more boring uniforms.
>>336713071
Yeah.
I think people would really enjoy it if devs gave it a chance, though.
Instead of an action-hero infantryman, you'd be an important part of a larger team.
OP thinks modern warfare is fun and games
>>336710896
It''s no more less suitable than WW2.
Red Orchestra and Rising Storm did a good job of showing it the way it was within reason for an entertainment product. People die they scream, explosions are loud. Nobody has the moral high ground and there are no hero's. WW1 is the template for this, just a load of men sent off to die for fuck all.
>>336712501

No it doesn't. That art is for preorder dlc that lets you be a harlem hellfighter in multiplayer
>>336713223
Looks alright 2bh
>>336713093
Because American generals didn't want their men getting slaughtered under the leadership of British or French generals. Neither side had acceptable tactics, it's why WW1 was so horrendous in it's causalities.
American involvement in WW1 was a joke because Eurokeks started a war over worthless alliances and brain dead nationalism.
But then again you're using the internet, on an american imageboard; to shitpost about Americans. Well done.

The USA: 24th in education and showing it.
The army that broke the Germans in 1918, the army that won the war, was the British. If you know anything - literally anything - about that war, you would know that.
>>336713250
You are a profoundly stupid person and a perfect example of why everyone laughs at Americans. The British, Belgian, French and even Italians cooperated by placing divisions from each other's armies within corps structures under the command of other forces while establishing joint allied command structures.
The Americans refused. The Americans said they would not place any American forces under the command of non-American officers. The Americans said they would not accept any joint commands. They demanded an entire stretch of the front just for themselves, even thoguh they had neither the training nor the weapons nor the competence to hold it without British and French support and oversight.
>>336713236
Yes.And that's exactly why I want to play the brutal Italian front. Because no one pays attention to Italian war efforts.
>>336713223
That looks pretty much like Battlefield.
>>336712737
My great great grandfather was in the war. He loved it.
I think all the people bitching about how the game should have no Americans here have to understand something.
Trench knives. You want trench knives? Then you need the Americans in there somewhere
>>336713393
It really is. It was prior to mechanised warfare and 90% of the war was a gridlock, it was only during the first and last moments that there were actual moving battlegrounds.
>>336713093
Boy your attitude is going to change when we stop funding your militaries and the Russians start poking around
instead you get this
>>336710896
Hey i was sceptical of Battlefield 1 being WW1 but it looks like it will be good. If you want a historical WW1 game play Verdun.
It's only like choosing between Red Orchestra or Call of Duty 2 back in the day, why not enjoy both? Same setting, different games.

Yeah. That, and the crazy shit the Austro Hungarians were up to would be interesting to explore.
>>336713393
I guess it could be said it was more barbaric, outside of the Holocaust and Unit 731.
The combat in WW1 was incredibly brutal. Chemical weapons, flamethrowers, disease, close-combat trench weapons.
Poor sanitation and a lack of understanding of disease treatment, which led to many deaths on its own...
It was a really bad war.

>>336713535
>Because American generals didn't want their men getting slaughtered under the leadership of British or French generals.
No, because Americans refused to accept any advice or oversight from non-Americans. It was the same know-it-all attitude that led Americans to refuse to use the convoy system because it was "too British".
>But then again you're using the internet,

You mean they won by letting hundreds of thousands of Commonwealth soldiers die to accomplish nothing? The French took much greater causalities than the Brits.

>>336713945
Hmm okay, any Brits or Frenchies?
>>336713786
Mhm. There were problems on both sides. The Italian command was terrible, but the soldiers were exceedingly brave while the Austrians were behind in technology. The only country that was worse was the Ottoman Empire, and they got their shit kicked in by Italy in Libya.

There are stories about artillery barrages which would actually wipe out entire forests.
One soldier tells the story of so much artillery being fired that trees would be blasted into the air and would keep getting blasted up, from the sheer amount of shells landing. They said it sounded like ocean waves, the sound was so constant.
That's the shit I want to see.

You're a smart one aren't you.
I just got back from the world premier event at EA headquarters. Artillery strikes are in. So is player controlled naval bombardment. The content they showed focused around the Alps, Arabian deserts, and french plains. There was exclusive in game footage that showed bi-plane bombing runs and artillery strikes in game and it looks as visceral as you would expect.
Mounted horse combat and an improved melee fighting system are also going to be coming along with more fluid environment action (busting down doors/vaulting/et cetera).

>Others argue that the so-called "Companies of death", special patrols of infantry and engineers engaged in cutting or blasting enemy barbed wire, should be considered as precursors of the Arditi. They were easily recognizable by their use of armor and "Farina" helmets.[2] The use of explosives in that role resulted in entirely unnecessary sacrifices of the members of these units.
>The task of Arditi units was not to clear the way for regular infantry to attack enemy lines, but to completely overrun enemy positions. The most daring volunteers were chosen, particularly those who were not bothered by loud incoming artillery fire close by. The men also studied fencing and were masters of hand-to-hand combat. Once ready, they were sent to the front armed with a dagger and hand grenades.[citation needed] Most did not carry rifles or carbines because they would be cumbersome to fire in the confined spaces of a trench. The Arditi approached enemy trenches while they were being shelled by Italian artillery. Just as the barrage was lifted they would jump inside the trench while the enemy was huddling down, and use their daggers at close quarters to suppress enemy resistance. These primitive tactics were surprisingly effective. Arditi had to hold the positions they conquered for 24 hours and then would be replaced by the regular infantry. Arditi might lose 25% to 30% of their numbers during such an attack. Their motto was O la vittoria, o tutti accoppati meaning "We either win, or we all die".

There was never an official battlefield 1 because their first game was 1942. They're taking the 1 for this iteration because it's a return to the team based gameplay dynamics that made 42, Vietnam, and 2 so popular. They stressed heavily that going off on your own isn't going to be the most viable play style.

Austria-Hungary had a 90% casualty rate. I just find that crazy. Also after the war they got broken up into a bunch of little nationalities including Poland so maybe they'll do something with that
>>336714327
Nah, the German revolution would've happened either way.
>>336715361
>that is no fucking excuse to march men into machine gun or artillery fire.
It took a year for French officers to stop sending cavalry into German artillery because the only one with any tactical brain, Pétain, was ignored until Verdun and then was sacked for no reason.

>>336715529
'relatively quickly' by what measure?
tens of thousands of men were sacrificed this way.
not a few platoons or a couple of companies.
tens. of. thousands.
Fucking Liberals blackwashing white history

Because white guilt fags will buy it from white developers. Happy?

yes, but presented as reality

They should use the alt history where World War 1 was fought with Vertical Tanks.
>>336715497
I literally just said America didn't incent freedom. Can you even read?
What I'm saying is that virtually everything is derivative.
But, if you want to speak from a legal perspective, Americans have more protected rights than citizens of many other first-world nations.

>The Harlem Hellfighters were an African-American infantry unit in WWI who spent more time in combat than any other American unit.
Don't pretend like you give a shit about the europeans that died, you just don't want a black man on the cover.

She's from the Algerian resistance to french conquest.
the mid 1800s. When women are fighting, that means your existence is threatened.
Guess what she did? Gave speeches. She was mostly a cheerleader.
>>336715531
There's multiple protagonists, but if you're wondering why the american character is black, it's because the 369th Infantry Regiment saw more combat than any other American unit. The "hellfighters" tagline strongly suggests that the black dude is from said regiment, which was entirely black.

>>336714327
No they would have just shifted the revanche-irredentism from the Germans to the French. It would have been the French who harbored far right and blamed the perfidious Jew, shifted from being the western liberal democracy idol of the world to a far right thing.

The Berber Prophetess of the 7th century you mean, Kahina?
And the Berbers were always more egalitarian towards women than the Arabs. The last time you had arab female warriors was in the time of MUhammad and a bit afterwards.
>>336715361
>Use antiquated military tactics that people have been using for thousands years
>machines guns were a relatively recent invention

Nobody understood the effects of machine guns anon and the British made a huge mistake by relying solely on artillery fire to weaken German defenses.

>within three years it was fought with artillery, bombers and tanks
WWI was fucking crazy. There's a lot of potential there for a game.
Personally I hope this game does well so they can start doing more 20th century weird wars, especially ones where Americans weren't directly involved.

>>336715558
The First World War was Germany's fault though. I personally don't think they intended for full out war however, seeing as France+Russia teaming up would be an inevitability leading to a war on two fronts. Not to mention Britain.
>>336715734
wow, they spent 12 minutes in combat vs every other American fighting for 10
this game shouldn't have any Americans in it, it should all be about Europeans, you know, the actual people who died in the war
>>336714893

>>336715558
This
This will be the worst part of it.
IMO a World War 1 game should focus on the political strife happening in Germany at the time. With the player as a German spy watching his own country fall apart at the sidelines.
At the end of the game, he's stranded in Britain when Hitler rises to power, and all his old handlers are promptly executed.
>>336715819

Well duh. It's a given that they're doing more than one.
>>336715819
>The last time you had arab female warriors was in the time of MUhammad and a bit afterwards.
I seriously don't get what happened here. There were a lot of Arab battlefield heroines in and around Mo's lifetime, and then almost nothing after that.
>>336715668
Sure, 2 years is a long time, but in doctrinal terms it's a pretty short time frame to completely change from 19th century tactics to proto-modern infantry tactics. In general, the first and second halves of the war were completely different styles of battle, which is pretty crazy for a 4 year war.
>>336715529
By early 1918, not 1916. The Battle of the fucking Somme was in 1916, you know, the famous one where British soldiers were ordered to walk towards the German trenches and lost tens of thousands in a single day?
>>336715909

>>336715939
Did Americans fight in the war? Yes, of course they did. They already said the stories are going to be intertwined. It makes sense to market it right now with a little piece of history very few people know about in the American market.
>>336715939
You're right, and I'm American. I want to play as ANZAC troops in Gallipoli
I guess a couple black Americans are worth focusing the game on over all those evil white men
>Write a tweet about trench foot!
I know it was fake, but I feel as though it's partially relevant to this conversation
>>336715547
No he's right. The war was all about attrition and trench warfare, there's nothing interesting from the perspective of an FPS.
The multiplayer is going to be all about psuedo tactical shit like the previous battlefield games and it's basically just going to be World War 2 with older guns.
>>336715129
The USA damaged the German war effort immensely by being a bunch of war criminal faggots smuggling war supplies on passenger ships to bait a German reaction while falsely accusing them of not keeping of the naval warfare act which was factually broken more often by the Brits than Germany. By doing this they exploited only international law to defeat Germany on the sea and thereby blocking Germany from food imports. Fucking brits are so fucking pussy even with a bigger fleet than Germany they had to rely on this dirty shit and the American president was a fucking jew who was hot to join in on the action by tricking the American public.
3/4ths of the game should be a thrilling economical/political simulator where you give money to the Allies.
>>336716032
It was 2 years before tactics had completely turned around, and I challenge you to find a conflict that had such a complete revolution in infantry tactics shorter than WW1. I'm going to give you a hint: you can't.

"we found that a tiny number of women had a minor involvement at one point so it's totally valid for us to make her an important character"
This shit is annoying as fuck.
The last Assassins Creed, they knew of one victorian gang of girls, this for some reason made it justified in a large number of enemies being women.
A small number English nobles had black manservants in the 1500's as a way of showing therefore it's completely justified having a black character without everyone he meets going "holy shit, you're a heathen moor"

You seriously think in total war a trade blockade isn't a legitimate and fair tactic? Are you a child or something? It was ultimately the food shortages that ended the war in the Allied favour, if the Royal Navy hadn't stopped food going to the North Sea ports Germany could have held out for years longer than they did.

American soldiers were literally only present during the last day of World War 1, when the Treaty of Versailles was signed. Soldiers ducked in on a French flower truck to pretend they were in the war for the cameras.
All of the reports of American soldiers on the front of World War 1 was actually French Foreign legion who had been paid to wear American uniforms. American presence in World War 1 was faked just like the moon landings.
