Thank's OP. I'll make sure to pick this up for my wife's son when it comes out.
>>340251963
For what? The most shameless bastardization of a war and shitting on the graves and memories of millions?
Sure, lets get hyped for capitalism! Fuck off.
>>340251963
That looks so dumb.
Another trailer, another assload of anachronistic shit because DICE refuses to spend 30 minutes actually researching WWI.
In this teaser alone:
-The Black Soldier (American/British, who knows at this point) is wearing a WWII British Mk IV Respirator. On top of that, it's not hooked up to anything. There's no hose, and no canister, it's useless.
-Both the American/Brit, and the German firing the Bergmann MG15 are wearing a WWII German patch for the rank of Oberschütze. This patch didn't exist in WWI. So with this teaser, it's been shown that EVERY soldier, of EVERY NATIONALITY SHOWN SO FAR, is wearing the same future patch on their shoulder.
If patches are part of the Squad system, why is the default patch a WWII German patch?
-The black soldier, who I am assuming is supposed to be American, is wearing a British uniform. While America and Britain wore similar uniform, the American uniform had a standing collar, while the British had a more usual fold-over collar. The black guy has the British fold-over collar.
I could go on, like the WWII rifle shown in a previous image, and so on, but DICE's allergic aversion to researching anything is comical at this point.

Well this board is done.
>>340252635
That's every game for every genre
So
to remain somewhat optimistic, what battles/landscapes do you want in the game?
I'm hoping for Galipoli, Brusilov offensive, Russian Revolution, and Flanders maps.
I actually carried a belt-fed machine gun around for a year in Afghanistan. And a dude coming at you with a trench club while you are looking at a 6-7 second reload isn't that fun to think about. That said, I don't think any machine guns from WW1 were just hip fired like OP's gif
>>340253336
It REALLY doesnt matter. BF3 still looked amazing, so did BF4 and hardline. Also starwars battlefront lacks content, but is debateably the best looking FPS to date.
>>340253603
I honestly want some stuff in the Arabic Revolt, so that I can ride a horse around the desert shooting people.
>>340253581
I'll bite.
DICE trailers are almost always what the game looks like in game, at least on PC.
Go look at the Battlefield 3, 4 and Battlefront trailers. The "gameplay" trailers are very close to the actual game.
One of the few things you can't get on them for.
>>340253581
Battlefront looked like its "in game footage"
>>340251963
>gif
At least post a webm, still looks like shit either way desu.
>>340253530

>>340253581
Looks about as good as battlefront, whats your point?
>>340253029
its ok when its DICE
>>340253627
They weren't. Also, that guy would not have come out of that trench at that guy. They would have had a firing line with cross fire, and he probably would have switched to an alternate weapon if he were alone and that guy was running at him while he was out of ammo.
Popping out of a trench was just a terrible idea if you didn't have to.
>>340252801

Great job from the guys at DICE
>>340253603
Galipoli and vimy ridge are what I want most, im hoping if there is any form of commander mode that the commander can do a creeping barrage.
>>340253603
Gallipoli has been sort of half-confirmed.
People who attended the press event claimed to see a beach raid, and the recently released concept art shows this:

>>340253891
Maybe they are called nigers?
>>340253739
>For what? The most shameless bastardization of a war and shitting on the graves and memories of millions?
You're complaining that a game is set in a war. I'm pretty sure I read this perfectly fine.
>>340253603
Why does it matter? Literally none of those locations will be represented in a realistic or even Hollywood fudged reality way. It would just be generic locations with a title card slapped over the top.
>>340253891
Pronounced as Nijer.
>>340254069
suuuuuuuuuuuuure it is
funny how a lot of you shit on BF1, but you'll buy it anyway
>>340253043
Rewatch the trailer, it actually says "not actual in game footage" and this gif looks exactly the same as the trailer so its most likely not actual in game footage.
>>340253952
A black guy is fine, if you either make him a soldier of America's 369th, a French Senegalese soldier, or a German colonial conscript (Schutztruppe)
The Bedouin woman thing is pretty out there, and I would have originally been willing to know what their research was on it, but seeing as they put a WWII rifle into a recent press photo they clearly haven't done any.
(Image clarification, the M1903 and M1903 Mk I were the rifles that were used and around for WWI. The M1903A3, with the distinctive aperture sight, was not)

>>340254407
When you say Enfield, do you mean Lee Enfield?
If so, no, the Americans were never issued Lee Enfields.
They were however, issued M1917 Enfields (pictured), and M1903 Springfields, with the Enfield being America's main service rifle, going by the amount issued.
The M1917 was made by the British under contract from America, and is based on the Mauser action. It has nothing in common with the Lee Enfield, beyond name.
>>340254618
not him but ww1 was pretty colourful
Gallipoli was a two-fronted beach landing with Australians used as cannon-foddr, landing under gunfire, then trying to fortify the beach. The aim was to give the British and French forces time to organize themselves on the point, but it was a big cock-up and they all died or went home.
The Brusilov offensive was just pure chaos, a very mobile, large-scale assault by the Russians against the Austrians.
Russian Revolution was a myriad of different battlefields and different conditions.
Flanders is what you would think of when you say the words "trench foot"
>>340254618
not necessarily
Trench warfare was a mainstay, but battles were fought all over the continent.
you have to take weather, terrain, forces, and many other factors into it
Gallipoli is basically a smaller Normandy beach landing in the desert
Ypres, especially the third battle, is a swamp with constant rain that floods
Verdun is a hilly landsape
you have some Navel battles, like Jutland, too
technology and strategy also develop through the war as well.
>>340251963
I found battlefield 3 and 4 completely atrocious ever since they refused to listen to feedback in the bf3 beta and even shut down a community who was being vocal about their change of direction.
I would love to enjoy this because there aren't that many WW1 games and Verdun is pretty much dead but i just don't trust modern Dice anymore.

They are going to fuck this up one way or another.
At best it will only feature western front 1917-1918 and will be a reskin of battlefield 4.
Worst thing that might happen is that they will make a battlefront reskin.
>>340256626
it's not minor, this is a WWI game
they should know their shit
no excuses
How fucking hard can it be to go to wikipedia search for ww1 then copy paste weapons and uniforms and NOT take anything from ww2.
>>340256785
who says they dont?
dont you think things like this were added for gameplay reasons? I doubt they want to just abandon or gimp thier gun attachment system
>>340256516
YOLO Juliet at least sort of makes sense because stupid hormonal teenagers is a big theme of the original.
This takes a setting about artillery, machine guns, barbed wire, and an industrialization of slaughter and makes it about bullet-dodging masked ninja.
>>340256626
>minor inaccuracies.
Dice is a studio in Sweden, Swedish fucks (despite their /pol/ reputation) are gun fetishists and should know their shit, extra points for being European and all.
The fact they are on board with this, and the recent ME2 failure makes me believe that whoever was in charge of running Bioware to the fucking ground is now in charge of Dice. Ea is run by tv executives apparently.

>>340251963
>battleniggers in the great white war
yeah, naw
>>340256540
It's historical nitpicking. The average person doesn't know the M1917 Enfield even exists, so the word "Enfield" calls to mind the famous British Lee Enfield. I'm not ashamed of my history autism.
>>340256575
I'd love one, and even though WWI guns tend to go for less than WWII ones, they are still pricey. Bound to get even pricier.
>>340256626
Why not? Why can't I point out when a company puts shit from the future in a very defined historical setting?
I wouldn't mind if they said this was an alt history game, but they've gone out of their way to dispel that claim and are saying it's accurate.
If you're going to say it's accurate, then your shit's up for scrutiny.
>>340252997

http://www.vg247.com/2016/06/07/battlefield-1-has-six-weapon-classes-no-attachments/
If they fuck up the gun design, it's their own doing at this point
Also
>These six categories are shotguns, SMGs, LMGs, semi autos, sidearms and sniper rifles – pretty familiar stuff for most FPS players, despite the relatively unexplored setting. Each of these classes include multiple varieties of weapon, including some of the first successful assault rifles ever made.
>Weapons can be customised with up to three pre-set loadouts, rather than attachments. You’ll also be able to tweak zoom levels, reticles and more – and apply skins.
I like to think I'm /k/nowledgeable but I'm about 95% certain that there wasn't a single assault rifle on the front in WW1.
>>340256884
>dont you think things like this were added for gameplay reasons?
Not him, but you are an absolute retard.
When the FUCK have video game guns ever been realistic, especially in a fucking Ea game, you mongoloid.
It is a gun model too, shit stain, that means it can shoot lasers too, because the gun model does not represent the gun functions, because of fucking coding and shit.
Take that extra chromosome out of your system, and understand this is fucking EA, do I need to shove Mass Effect 3 screens down your stupid eye holes for you to understand that they do not give a shit?

The people who are getting pissed off ITT are not "history fags". They are high school pocket-historians who don't fucking know what they're talking about.
When someone gets mad about hip-firing machine guns, just laugh at them. It's like a big flashing casino sign that says "I DONT ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT".
Machine Guns could be and were hip-fired in world war 1. From the notes of Paddy Griffith's "Battle Tactics of the Western Front: The British Army's Art of Attack, 1916-18", pg. 248:
"the manual makes it clear that firing from the hip is highly inaccurate and unduly exposes the firer to the enemy, and should only be used in special circumstances."
>hurr inaggurat
Not impossible.
In fact, World War 1 infantry soldiers on all sides were trained in "marching fire" using machine guns. Americans trained with the lewis gun specifically, as did Australians who used it in that way at the Battle of Hamel. The Germans eventually did the same with the 48-pound MG08/15. Source: Sheffield's 2007 "War on the Western Front", pg 250
>>340253681

See: Bergmann MP18
>>340257245
can you read?
I am the one saying the guns arent completely realistic and its stupid to think they would be
>>340257141
Their selling point is World war 1 in the whole package though, you would expect weapons uniforms locations regiments from that time period then.
Maybe I'm just spoiled with historical accuracy from other games but if they don't wanna go full armchair historian then maybe they should just announce it as WW1 inspired or alternative setting so they can get free reins when designing and balancing.

It's not. The image you posted is a fucking lamp, with a terribly uneducated description claiming it's WWI.
The gas mask the lamp uses is ALSO a Mk IV British gas mask, which was extremely common during WWII, for both Civilian and Military use.
You will not be able to find a single photo or actual source claiming it's from WWI, because it's not.
You can however find many pictures of it in use in WWII.
>>340257774
they did and you are right.
but honestly I dont care, i'd rather see BARs and people carrying machine guns around than having 90% of players use bolt action.

>>340253704
last trailor showed a strong women muslism part of the beudiun or whatever its spelt tribe riding a horse as they are attacked by planes.
its confirmed but you're probably playing as a girl that never existed.
they should just confirm that this is an alternate reality game.
>>340257404
That is a sub-machine gun, not an assault rifle.
>>340257774
99% of combatants used bolt action rifles
On some fronts you could find people using muzzle loaders
The vast majority of machine guns were too large to even move around by yourself
>>340257141
>no liberties can be taken for gameplay reasons?
If those "liberties" result in the game still playing like every fucking modern shooter then it's an issue. Even the fucking trailer is still that same orange and blue WUUUUUUUUUUB shit that the last three Battlefields have had.
Granted that I don't know a lot about WWI because the American school system is shit and this was one of the most glossed over topics because they wanted to get to the Great Depression as soon as they could, but it really seems like all the anachronisms are adding up and they're just so they don't alienate their idiot audience
>>340257774
SMG's existed late war, the Italians and Germans being the main two to use them.
LMG, as a term, did not exist. A distinction between heavy, light, or general purpose wasn't really around back in WWI, so any machine gun light enough to carry could be a "LMG".
Semi-auto's were rare things. The French had the most common semi-auto rifle of the war, the Fusil Automatique Modèle 1917, but being the most common of a rare weapon type isn't saying much.
Other semi-auto's existed, or were being prototyped, the Germans had one for aircraft/defense, but not infantry deployment for example.

I personally don't give a shit because I don't enjoy modern FPS games, I'm just saying that the trailer reactions from the normies who make up most of the sales for this game are "HURR DURR THIS IS NEW TERRITORY, CALL OF DUTY SUX" when it's really the same shit. They're in a position where anything they do to deviate from the "modern/near future" shooter would be well received, and yet the game is likely going to be the same shit with a new skin. It's a wasted opportunity, and droves of idiots are singing DICE's praises for serving up the same shit on a different plate

This is the only thing I've seen so far that doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
There are accounts of middle eastern women fighting in World War 1, such as the Turkish women lone snipers killing ANZACs during the Gallipoli campaign - but they are uncorroborated and have nothing substantiating them. They are mostly anecdotal originating from rumor. Historians generally disregard these stories as it would have been severely against the cultural tradition of Turkey and the Bedouins alike. For the record, Aleks Grondal did say she was Bedouin.
There were, however, confirmed women fighting against the turkish genocide of the Armenians. DICE also had a chance to tell a real story about Gertrude Bell, CBE, spying for the British Empire, being an archaeologist of babylon, and hobnobbing with Winston Churchill, TE Lawrence, and various high-circle members of Iraq and the rest of the Levant.
tl;dr DICE is choosing to make a bullshit story, which is fine in my opinion, but I hope they have no illusions about some ass-kicking arab woman being real in world war 1.
>>340258064
This would be the most common and "finalized" type they issued during the war.
Early attempts range from cloth mouth rags that were tied around the mouth, and only worked when wet, or varying types of cloth "bags" with glass eye holes.
Gas masks saw rapid development in the war, and so getting military designation/names is a pain in the ass, sorry I can't provide one.

The gameplay could be the exact same Battlefield shit, unchanged, for all I care. Complaining about historical accuracy in terms of weapons and gear that wouldn't have existed isn't a complaint of gameplay, as it doesn't affect gameplay. It's just DICE being lazy, and they deserve to get called out for that.

the fact that battlefield is doubling down on the historical shooter is attractive to people who just want a military fps
>>340259681
Yeah is very good, but i recommend buy it when is on sale.
>>340260037
It's a better sight in real life, because it aids sight acquisition faster, but in a game where lining up the sights is automatically done with a button press, it's no longer "better", it's just "different".
And if a sight from 24 years in the future is unlockable, why not make the M1 Garand unlockable, it came out closer to WWI than the M1903A3 did.
>>340259681
I really enjoy Verdun. If you like unforgiving games like Red Orchestra 2, you'll like it. I find myself getting mad as fuck when I die running in no mans land towards a trench from a bolt action rifle a few hundred meters away, and then I realize that's probably what happened.

>>340259554
Hardly. Maps aren't designed with enough cover. if 1/6 of the enemy team has stingers, the attack helicopter cannot make a move. It can peak out of its spawn, take a few shots, and has to get to cover before two thousand missiles hit it, rendering it useless
Yes, I complain about that. It requires absolutely no skills whatsover to take out vehicles in BF3 and 4, yet you could counter them in previous titles, like in BF2, where you actually had to use a little bit of skill to use the ERYX or the SRAW. Fire and forget shit makes for really shitty gameplay. And before you go >muh vehicle whore, I mainly play infantry, and always have ever since I started playing battlefield 15 years ago.

Welcome to the Swedes version of WWI
The Swede did not fight n WWI nor in WWII, in fact the Swede has not fought a war since he early 1800's.
The Swede has no concept of the brutality and terror of WWI, especially so because it was the first war of its kind, some call WWI and WWII the same war with a long period of unsteady peace in between, whatever you call it, the Swede has no history to it.
The Swede is therefore not subtle about his approach to this Great War, the Swede- burdened by modern thinking and leftist schlock in his little Swedish mind instead twists and manipulates the facts of the war to suit that politically correct agenda of diversity and inclusionism wherever he can, yes shamelessly so even into a videogame about WWI, and all we can say to the Swede is, have you no shame?

>>340263249
I can sure as hell tell when someone goes too far in their little historical fantasy of WWI by throwing in diversity and modern ideas onto the war when they have no place being there.
Look to a Verdun for a game that does it right.
DICE is trying to bring over the modern BF3/4, COD Blops melee and intensity and mindset over to WWI and with a smattering of diversity to boot (when 95% of the participants in the Entente were white Europeans/Anglos) in order to appeal to the "new generation" or anyone who thinks WWI is boring because muh trench warfare and stalemates meme and it just comes off as incredibly insulting to the rest of us.

>>340254164
>it actually says "not actual in game footage"
No it doesn't, retard.
I just got a horrible idea of something modern, retarded DICE might do-
Trench warfare mode: INTENSE FAST PACED AND BLOODY CHARGE INTO THE OPOSSING TEAMS TRENCHES ACROSS NO MAN'S LAND
>its a trench, 100 meters of no mans land, and the other trench and cloistered into a box, no flanking routes, no other direction to attack but forward.
I wouldn't be surprised even, they mentioned their smallest maps yet, which for WWI probably means less space between and around ttenchrs to funnel gameplay artificially.
DICE seems to be all about being in control of YOUR experience lately, instead of letting the player have more control and more freedom, see the latest Battlefront for an example.
>>340261247

>>340263757
>>340263941
Its insulting to the veterans who fought and to those who studied and learned a little what hell they experienced when they fought to just shoehorn in diversity so blatantly and then give it subtle undertones of black vs. white with their full cover reveal when WWI was a war primarily of white against white, with any non-white and blacks either colonial troops or a single fucking infantry unit with vastly overrated and almost mythological combat history as questioning it would be racist.
Its just not just the diversity, but thats the most insulting.

So afterwards, they proclaimed it caused unnecessary suffering which is rich considering the context. I think it just grabbed them by surprise because shotguns have always been a civilians best friend and it's sudden usage in war shocked them how efficient it was clearing trenches.

The Totenkopf (Death's Head) for Germany goes back to the 18th century, and was generally used for cavalry/hussar/elite units.
It was used in WWI as well.
It's of course most infamous for being used by the SS, because of the war crimes associated with them.
>>340264582
Yes. Tank crews had skulls on their lapels too, despite having literally nothing to do with the SS whatsoever.

That's funny, because I posted actual sources to back up my claims that, wait for it, are known in history communities and no amount of reaction face can change that.
Machine Guns were literally designed more and more to be more portable and more viable in infantry assaults. Why don't you give me some sources to back up your claim that machine guns were static-only and that they were not used as part of advancing infantry tactics.
I even gave you an example of a battle where that tactic was used. Your post is the worst sort of argument, and I'm worried that "MG STATIC ONLY WURL WAH WUN" is going to be the new "Blood is blue when its inside you" common false-knowledge.

It's not about dice nor doing their research, it's an alternate reality WW1 setting. They could say WW1 has gone in for 739373682822 years and have all of this futuristic tech if they wanted to. It's their version of WW1, not a historically accurate one. And if bet any money they did this so there would be some WW2 weapons/attachments/gear in the game for more variety and replayability.
Bets on maps DICE will remake in the inevitable retro map pack.

I must have missed how modeling a gasmask to look like equipment that was available during the war SLOWS down gameplay.
That accurate model would have really SLOWED down the ACTION PACKED PACE of the game, on account of it just EXISTING DURING THE TIME TOO MUCH.
Fuck off, I'm not complaining about gameplay shit, and a company as large as DICE should be called out for lazy bullshit.
Why do you get so upset that someone is pointing this stuff out? Why does that anger you, at all?
I'm not asking for accurate trench warfare simulator, where you spend a good time of the game sitting in a muddy trench, with your feed cold and hurting, and you pass the time with an intense QTE rat smashing mini-game followed by an intense mission of carving spent ammunition with images of your home.
I don't give a shit about hip-firing machine guns, it can be done, it happened, that's fine. I don't care if this game is full of doing sick 360 no scopes while jumping off a horse, and then landing on a different horse.
I'm complaining about DICE being lazy shits, in ways that don't affect gameplay.

Only when they could get High Command to stop jerking their horses off and jerking each other off about their horses.
Germans felt that tanks needed to move quickly while being spread out amongst units combined with heavy guns to provide support.
French believed in the WWI ideal that a tank should be huge and heavy, move at a snails pace, and allow an entire platoon to walk slowly behind it in full cover over the enemy trench.
Meanwhile the British High Command saw tanks and tried to use them like cavalry.

The greatest irony is that British officers created not only the world's first ever all-mechanised army unit, but also invented the Blitzkrieg while they were at it.
Fuller was the hero that the British Army needed, but not the one its commanders deserved.

I love the account of one Commando who was captured in that raid. He was being interrogated by a German officer halfway across the port, then just after the officer had finished saying 'it was a valiant effort, but you must have known the gates would resist a ship of that size' the TNT went off.

>Americans weren't yet in for the somme, weren't at galipoli, only the French were in Verdun,
I'm going to get my panties in a dainty bunch if the yanks self-insert themselves into WWI, hopefully it'll be a case of showcasing various factions rather than following the story of the one american GI who solved everything.
Obviously the multiplayer is up for anything, I'd hope to see examples of difficult trench combat involving heavy use of cover and mad dashes, some TIGHT URBAN TACTICAL ACTION in Ypres, and a map where all the artillery is pointing the wrong way and the French are facing the wrong direction.
>>340271234
If it's in-game why is it not in first person or have any UI?
I agree BF looks really good but that is clearly not "in game" as in someone is playing the game.

I felt so ripped off when they completely gutted Support after the beta. LMGs and MMGs on bipods were deadly accurate and great for punishing retarded snipers. Once the game got released they got the shit nerfed out of them and you needed to just magdump people to drop them.

this really bugs me too desu, but I can see the hypocrisy in that I'm ok with WW2 games. I think it's because I've always considered WW1 to be the most horrible war anyone has ever fought in so far. But at the end of the day, the devs can do what they want I guess.

Why do some people insist that some wars are like a fairy tale in GOOD vs EVIL?
How about a clash ideologies where one is less compatible with todays ideas?
There were atrocities and Im not trying to defend anyone, but you dont have to label everything as EVUL.
Not everything has to be simplified like you're explaining history to children. Especially US education does this so much, everything is grossly simplified and "fairy tail-ed"
We're all just going to suddenly up and forget the fact that this same exact studio was the one which gave us Battlefield 3, 4, and Battlefront?
Having a new setting doesn't make it suddenly good.
>>340272540
>Why do some people insist that some wars are like a fairy tale in GOOD vs EVIL?
Because it is what is in the public conscious. Plus Japan most certainly topped WWII in horrific war crimes.
>>340272540
it's kind of hard not to label the nazis as evil. If there's any group in human history that could be labelled as evil, it would almost certainly be them.
>>340271734
Pretty sure that's an italian village, judging from the architecture, the soldier's greenish equipment and the lake/sea in the background. Plus France hasn't been announced as playable afaik, whereas Italy has.
>>340257451
what the fuck lol when did they ever announce it as being 100% historically accurate WW1 game?
the best you're gonna get for that is that the game is called BF1 and plays in the era. the devs already stated it isn't historically accurate anyway so just go play red orchestra you world war weebs.

Good. It's an extremely important tool but it can be taken out in 1 rpg hit. Call it out and if your team actually works as one, someone will take it out for you.
Fire and forget weapons only work on shitty pilots/drivers and if your team is actually working as a team. There is literally nothing wrong with it.

And that was an unmitigated disaster.
>>340266409
honestly i think this is the only title that has a justified use of BRAND 1/ONE/JUAN/(empty)
WW1 is generally recognised for having a 1 in it, and it certainly predates BF1942, making it chronologically the first Battlefield game.
it's also more quickly capturing to the audiences than BF1912 or something similar, and since it's their alt-reality WW1 rather than the more historically-replicative BF1942, i could believe that the date 1912 isn't even of historical importance in the universe.
>>340272654
how about the russians who just threw waves of barely trained "soldiers" at the enemy and getting most of them killed? i'm not trying to call russia evil now it's just that this black and white mentality is pretty dumb desu.
>>340253336
There was no downgrade you fucking retard. They only got rid of a few animations that were in alpha.
>>340253581
Yes, I actually believe it. DICE never downgraded graphics. You must be confusing them with Ubisoft or something.
>>340273606
It worked for the British.Commonwealth with their Lewis Guns, apparently. And once a guy with one got into a trench it was gg no re for the defenders.

>>340260340
>It's a better sight in real life, because it aids sight acquisition faster, but in a game where lining up the sights is automatically done with a button press, it's no longer "better", it's just "different".
In games, aperture sights are worse than any kind of notch sights. Because of the reason you stated, the aperture sight in game provides zero advantage. But it creates a disadvantage in blocking line of sight when aiming. In the game your binocular vision can't help you see through the ring, so it just obscures the target.
>>340273620
It's not an alternate reality WW1
>>340273620
>WW1 is generally recognised for having a 1 in it
I don't know why, but this made me chuckle.
>>340258250
Actually there was a lot of semi-autos developed but nobody wanted to take the bite to actually deploy them to troops, especially since the war broke out all of the sudden so they all just grabbed their trusty bolt-actions and fought with them.
>>340265942
>Machine Guns were literally designed more and more to be more portable and more viable in infantry assaults. Why don't you give me some sources to back up your claim that machine guns were static-only and that they were not used as part of advancing infantry tactics.
Walking fire was a disaster for any unit that attempted it.
It still doesn't make sense for a machine gunner to be walking toward charging British infantry.
Verdun did it right. You can use the Lewis or CSRG 1915 firing from the hip while walking but it is so inaccurate it's basically useless unless you are inside the trench and 10 feet from the enemy.
>>340264582
Absolutely. The worst of the worst, the SS wore them only to strike fear in everyone because of their brutality.
It worked.

Your going to play as pic related going through his trials and horrors of character progressing to understand the German side, and how nothing is really black and white, until it's revealed at the end of the character arc who you really are. A real 180, and something no one would expect, and deep story telling.

Fucking please
BAR was the only gun in WWI designed to fire while advancing and they quickly scrapped this idea because run&gun<stable firing position.
If using them like that did shit we wouldn't need advancement to assault rifles in WWII.
>>340289118
The Chauchat was a one-man weapon that could be fired on the move, though due to design problems it was recommended to be used only in short bursts or semi auto.
The Lewis Gun was designed as a two-man weapon but could still be used on the move - one man would drop to his knee, where the gunner would then use his shoulder to rest the gun upon for accurate fire - but a harness was also made that allowed a single soldier to carry it and fire from the hip. Wasn't particularly accurate and so wasn't very useful in the open, but in a trench it was bloody murder and could clear a section of Germans incredibly quickly.

>>340257774
They all existed, but were relatively rare or late-war weapons save some LMG's like the Lewis Gun or Chauchat that were commonplace by 1917ish.
90% of infantrymen in WW1 fought with bolt action rifles though, which this game has now relegated as "sniper rifles" because millennials don't have the patience for them.
It's a real slap in the face to history
>>340259225
Don't test it
>>340271631
Urban combat was pretty rare in WW1 towns gave too much advantage to attackers given how difficult it was to reestablish or reposition an MG position.
