People on /v/ are so fucking ridiculous. You hate having black/gay/transgender people in video games because "it's pandering" or "it's shoehorned". But when a black person is the protagonist for a legitimately interesting and legitimate reason you still find a way to complain about "muh reverse racism". Take a good look at yourself and ask why having a black person fighting a white person in a fucking video game upsets you so much.

so a handful of black dudes fought in ww2. this does not mean that all the shilling for BF1 should be about black dudes. mostly whites fought for america during WW2. the others who died were mostly slavic which is mostly white. get the fuck out of here.
>>340730679
To be fair even Dark Souls and Bloodborne had modern music in the trailers, but it was nowhere to be seen in the actual games.
I imagine it's the same with this: They have pop music because the trailers are going to be on TV, but in game will probably be more in keeping with the era depicted.
>>340730814

They're not American. Any game company with sense makes war games about the American side. Because those are the games that Americans buy.

Swedes participated in neither WW1 or WW2. They haven't experienced war in a long time.
Last time that happened they got cucked hard by Russia during 19th century, marking the end of their empire.

If we would really want to play underdogs we would play as slavs.

>>340731234
You realize the point you're making makes it impossible for anyone to make a story about black people ever, right? There will always be stories that are interesting that don't have black people.
I think instead of getting triggered by the SJW boogeyman, we should just judge it as it is when it comes out. The problem with these things is that shoehorning agendas into stories means it is uninspired.

The official site says only six weapon classes, and the only bolt rifles are sniper rifles.

Yo I just want to take a quick honest survey.

I am the latter.
>>340731652
People waited long time for an AAA WWI game and with those leaks no wonder people get annoyed.
We can't be sure how the game will look like until beta but we can make an educated guess.

You will literally find ANYTHING to complain about even if it's not fucking worth it. If you wanna spam about how niggers ruined the great war, please fuck off to /pol/. Some of us actually like talking about video games.
>>340732119
The campaign also follows two white guys.
The irony is that Lawrence of Arabia and the Red Baron are pretty uninteresting as there is a lot of media that has been made about them already and they are a part of pop culture and the public consciousness.
But you don't get anyone saying they are uninteresting, undeserving, over done or pandering.

You say this but I'm sure we will see the "noble savage" meme with desert folk.
Also german airforce is far more interesting than any current year pandering they can come up with.
The simple fact that bolt actions aren't the main weapons for every class is disgusting.
The only reason this annoys me more than the swedish cuck indoctrination is my /k/ autism.

Well the Renault FT and the Mark IV/V have been confirmed by the trailers and people at the reveal, and the A7V appears in concept art (pic related). I am surprised the A7V is in - only 20 were made, and most tanks in German service were actually captured from the Allies, so I'm surprised they didn't just reskin the Allied tanks.
>>340732948
Guns that weighed a fuckton and would need multiple people in order to carry them in the manner the guy does in the trailer
>>340732948
A horrible mistake and used in practice only to haul them to next layer of trench.
>>340732806
They know that call of duty kids won't stand for having their accurate automatic weapons knocked down from the spotlight
>>340733053
The Lewis Gun had a harness made for it that allowed a soldier to do that exact thing, though. Wasn't terribly useful in the open because >hip firing but it was pure bloody murder when it got into a trench.
>>340733082
Nah the chauchat and bar could be used for walking fire
>>340732803
The 'Noble Savage meme' has been around since Shakespeare, it's not a new SJW thing.
Lawrence of Arabia is basically an IRL /pol/ power fantasy of a aristocratic white man uniting Arabic tribes to remove kebab.
The Red Baron is a 'Good German' archetype; a chivalric knight of the skies who wanted fair fights and fought with honour. He's the WW1 version of what Rommel was to WW2.
If anything BF1 is pandering to everyone, except maybe the '100% historical weapon accuracy or no buys' crowd.
>>340733274
And you could eat with your feet but its not an effective way of handling food.
Listen when you leave the trench yo don't go guns blazing but run&duck like a crazy dog.
A fuckheavy MG makes you slow and hard to change profile while barely able to return fire.
>>340733291
To who they try to pander we will see on release or at least E3.
>>340732996
>Allies: 2,500 Mark [X] tanks
>Germany: 20 A7Vs, 30 Mark [X] tanks
The Germans may well have had no tanks at all in WWI. Plus the A7V was notoriously shit over even mildly rough terrain, so I don't know how that's going to work unless it only features on nice, flat maps.
>>340733291
Pandering to everyone is one of the stupidest business decisions you can do because you can never please everybody - it's not a matter of dumbing the game down to make it for everybody, but rather trying to please everybody, the people who want ~diversity~ and the people who don't, the people who want the guns to be realistic and the ones who don't mind a bit of alternate history
Just make the fucking game instead of caring about what specific crowds of people might think, focus on making the game playable
>>340733630
Considering all we know about the weapons, I don't think accuracy is a consideration.
>>340733508
The stream's tomorrow.
>>340731654
Weren't the swearing in one of the interviews that they will make the game as accurate as humanly possible?
>>340733746
I'm not arguing that pandering to everyone is a good thing; I don't think it is at all.
What I mean is that people are failing to look beyond a black guy in the game and seeing that there are plenty of elements made for them (like the two characters I pointed out).
In my opinion, I don't even think EA/Dice are even trying to pander to SJWs or diversity. They're simply just trying to appeal to a section of the market that might not feel strongly about WW1 or Battlefield games in general: black people.
The reasoning is: people who are into WW1/history and Battlefield are going to buy this game already, so we don't have to market to them yet, but we want to draw in more buys from a market we haven't tapped into.
It's probably that simple, just a cynical business tactic. But of course people will lose their minds and say it's SJW bullshit or whatever.
>>340732113
I actually think that pandering is painfully obvious.
Besides, I'm buttmad that they made USA even relevant.
>>340731395
>>340731543
Now I think about it, we could do with some WW1 or 2 games about the slavs.
The reason people got tired of WW2 games in the period before CoD4 came out is because they kept retreading the same stories, due to them all being about the same side.
I'd enjoy a Finn Simulator 1939, just so I could be even more of a Simoboo
>>340728017
cant wait to kill evil crackas with a mace
Think they'll add a Queen Elizabeth-type Battleship lads? Probably too big to be player controlled, so maybe it could be on rails like the AC-130 and players get to control the big guns.
>>340734569
The problem is that games always cater to Americans because they're far and away the largest market for these things, so it was Omaha and 1944 France all the way into forever.
A game about, say, a British pre-war soldier could conceivably cover a whole ton of shit that's barely ever shown in vidya. He could fight all the way through the Fall of France, the North African campaign, D-Day (but now on the radically different British Beaches), Caen, Market Garden, the Battle of the Bulge and then finally the push through the Siegfried line (if the Siegfried line's still there) and into Germany.
And if you don't restrict yourself to one protagonist the possibilities go off the rails hardcore. Has there ever been a game where you drive a Sherman DD tank on D-Day onto one of the successful beaches, for example?

Because of the number of very loud (read: fucking annoying) liberals who cannot shut up about how white people are evil and use 'racist' as their default insult. They're usually white.
>WAAAAAAAAAAH WHY ISN'T BATTLEFIELD REALISTIC?!?!?
Have you ever played a battlefield before? The game where you can jump out of a Jet, snipe someone with a high powered rifle, and jump into his Jet? The game where strapping a Jeep with C4 and bailing from it to detonate is a viable form of destroying tanks?
>>340736238
That second one is easily doable in real life, we just don't usually want to destroy our own jeeps
>>340736070
>>Level where there's a standoff between two entrenched forces in the snow
I've never heard of stuff like this from the winter war. Sounds more like stuff from continuation war, when neither side moved for years.
The "trenches" soviets dug during the winter war were just sad holes they froze to death in.
