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

>Different vehicles with different ways to drive them

>>337143217
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

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.

>>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

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

>>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.

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.

>>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

>>337146489

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.

>>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.

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.

DICE said it's not an alternative WWI. It's just the absolute rarest and alternate things that happened at the time, amplified and exaggerated so much they can stretch it into a standalone game.
>>337154465

of and tunnels, plus remember shotguns were not very popular outside of american use as they were seen as barbaric and if you were caught with one or ammo for one you would be tortured by the enemy, and even the Europeans country that supported the U.S. looked down on shotguns.
>>337155225
Explain?
Lol, you fags sure do have double standards. If an SJW posted this on twitter you would all be laughing at them and making threads about it calling them idiots.
>>337142814
you can usually find it for about that much a week or two after it launches if you know where to look. In the past 5 years I've yet to pay more than $25 for a Battlefield game or its expansions.
But yeah you should never preorder a Battlefiled game nowadays. EA drones never learn though so they'll gobble this shit up even if it's broken on release like last time.

Every game that is supposedly set during a historical conflict has a disclaimer before the main menu that states that all the events depicted are fictional. If someone gets confused by historical inaccuracies, you can only blame them for it, not the producers of the entertainment media. If Wolfenstein didn't have that disclaimer, you could make the argument that Bethesda and Machinegames endorse NSDAP and ethnic cleansing. Don't ask me how a game about slaughtering nazis would endorse the nazis, but apparently that's how it would go.

>>337142467
>including bayonetas

>>337151294
Not that guy and I understand it's a game but people need a healthy respect towards war. Especially one of the worst wars this Earth has witnessed with its usage of chemical weapons, massive body counts, and the miserable fighting conditions.
a lot of broken men mentally and physically went home and most didn't come home at all. I'm not saying don't buy the game, I'm just saying when you play it keep in mind what the game is portraying.
War is nothing like how video games and movirs make them out to be and I think that has desensitized some people on how terrible war truly is.
at the core of what the other Anon I'd saying I think that's the main thing he wants to get across.
>>337157741
Battlefront was made by a completely different DICE studio and Hardline was anything but "very well-optimized"
The fact that you think Battlefront, a game with no visible ping, no server browser and horrid weapon/vehicle spawn mechanics was good is pretty revealing.
>>337157959

Why do you people thonk other people are noy aware of this? . You seem to think you are special little snowflakes that have some sort of superior knowledge about the subject.
Protip: you don't, everyone is aware of this. Difference is the majority of people are not autistic and don't see it as relevant when watching a movie or playing a game.
People play video games to kill people and blow shit up. people watch movies to see people getting shot and seeing things get blown up.
We are all aware of how war really is and the sacrifices and collateral damage caused by it.
We all respect this but games and movies don't need to be respectful of it because they are forms of entertainment not documentaries paying homage.
>>337158364
Not him but you're fucking retarded, design decisions of the game are completely unrelated to how well it ran on launch
>>337148650
I agree. Sure some stuff is OP but it's overall a very good game. Got the game for $30 and premium for $15 nearly a year ago. Will do the same with BF1 depending on how it is.

War is hell.
>>337158093
I only said it had a good launch you idiot. The fact that you think Battlefront is made by a different studio than DICE SE shows you have an uneducated opinion. Plus, what evidence do you have to support your claim of Hardline not having a stable launch?
>>337158682
>American soldier holding a german pistol
Schmuck, the Mauser C96 was popular beyond the German army. Over a million were manufactured and even more via unlicensed copies in Spain and China. They were exceedingly popular with British officers who acquired them privately.
And there were blacks in world war 1. Cry about it.

People with flamethrowers were treated far worse, same with snipers. Sniper is still one of the most dangerous roles in the army because if you get caught, you are fucked.
>>337160027
That was like 2002 though. It was a different age.
>>337155639
Shotguns being seen as barbaric smells like just horseshit
>>337160160
I've heard that snipers when caught would be tortured and mutilated. Snipers were a problem and an annoyance, though I won't say to what extent since I really don't know, but they'll pin down squads obviously and if you were caught your fingers would be cut off, you'd be tortured and suffer a slow death as vengence.

Eh, I'll play it if it's good and if my friends play it as well, though I'm not very inclined to buy it for full price. I would've been much, much more excited about "2143" instead of this. I expected WW1 BF to be utter uninteresting shit, this looks better than that at least but nothing for me to get excited about.
>>337142467
>What do you think?
Gonna feel like BF2. So many good memories. Joined some of my first gaming communities through that game. Trailer got me hype as fuck family.
>>337160435
Shotguns were seen as barbaric but the users were no where near as universally hated as snipers, a single sniper can cause massive problems for an entire regiment.
Shotgun were hated because they wouldn't kill you outright and would instead leave you writhing in the mud for hours or even days trying to stop your insides from spilling out all over the place, while a few sinpers could single handedly stop an entire army from moving forward. Snipers are the reason the war took so long and people spent years in trenches.

>>337161152
Neat, thanks, makes sense. Shotguns are brutal fucking things, being shot by one must be hell on earth.
>>337159829
Don't be a fucking edgelord and try to underplay the amount of human suffering of any war in the history of mankind with fucking greentext and a fucking meme.
You have zero respect for war and everything that comes with it because its never effected you. If you could be sent back to WW1 or WW2 and had to follow a single person from when they were drafted or enlisted and their goodbyes to their family all the way to the point where they were injured or killed. Have to watch the grief of a family getting a telegram that their father, son, or brother isnt coming back or that he's maimed in such a horrific way by artillery or chemical weapons that he'll be a burden to the family and have to repeat the process a thousands more times you'd come back different and feel embarrassed you ever put your cheeto crusted fingers on the keyboard to type that arrogant shit.
/v/ is fucking sad. Stop by /k/ and scroll through a War is Hell thread where pictures from major wars are posted and maybe that'll give you some kind of insight into why we need to respect wars and why we shouldn't glorify them the way we do. Yes I mad.

Look, we know war is hell, only a retard would deny that. So you're not surprising anyone. Anyone who thinks war is some fun fucking thing can rightly fuck off. But war games are fun. Stabbing some sad fuck in the face with my twohanded sword in Mount & Blade is fun but it must be seriously fucking painful. Executing a thousand men in Medieval 2 is fun, but it's an absolutely fucking unforgivable thing to do. But it's just a game, and it's for entertainment. Kids shouldn't be playing this, I know the feeling of being worried about desensitizing and all that jazz but we should just let people have fun and play games.
>>337142467

I will consider buying the game only because of it.
>>337143681
/v/ shits on EVERYTHING
If you want to find out if a game is good (or at least decentlyfun) just look for positive comments in the thread.
Hardline was a special kind of fuck up, it may have done better if it was just named "Police Brutality Simulator" since the game does not give you the battlefield experience which every game in the series should. Instead it sits down like a watered out crossover between payday and CoD with some vehicles thrown in to the picture.
>>337162396
Whatever edgelord. At the end of the day I'm sure you're an overweight neet shut in who only acts like this on 4chan and a complete coward in person.
>>337162406
Yes war games are fun. I'm not saying don't play war game or don't watch war movies. Just keep a little voice in the back of your head that understands human suffering. It's not hard.
>>337143287

seriously, how much of a fruity faggot do you have to be, i'm not going to feel empathy unless the game intentionally tugs at my heartstrings and succeeds
>>337163292

And it's not something some uppity faggot on 4chan needs to tell people about.
Don't forget to brush your teeth
Don't forget to put on deodorant
Don't forget to tell everyone on 4chan - /v/ Video Games that war is a bad thing and pat myself on the back for being a hero
Can't deny i'm kinda hyped but i have no expectations about the game other than it will be BF4 with WWI skins and hopefully with some trench-based maps.
Squad gotta be much more interesting when ever its done. Project reality was the best shit ever but mod support is dead in modarn battlefields am i right?
I'll play the new cod instead looks much more refined.

>Featuring americlaps
Except not. Because DICE has already stated that the campaign follows multiple factions. We know of the black American loaned to the French, the Bedouin cavalry woman, the British maybe German pilot, and whatever country (probably British or French) the guy at the end of the trailer is from.
My guess is that the multiplayer maps will feature one Centrals Powers faction and one Ally faction. Wouldn't be surprised if the visual character customization let you pick which Central Power or Ally you appear as in matches.
>>337164297
I really don't get the outrage with the new cod. It's cod, did you really expect anything different? Maybe i just don't undertstand because i'm not 12 and got my cod hate out years ago.
>>337151160
Why not? The reason they're doing it is to address the problem of people using tanks and planes as glorified taxi cabs. So no more snipers taking planes to go fuck off in the ass end of nowhere hoping to get a 1km headshot for their epic youtube channel.
>>337164562
Sadly i would rather play cod than dice shit
>>337164476
>all these /k/...itizens rekking the edgy "modern warfare is for pussies Xddd" kiddies

>>337164502
It's already confirmed to feature the Harlem Hellfighters. An all Black US unit that were "given" to France and fought in the last 6 months of the War.
The Trailer showed several allied factions, British, possibly Belgians/Russians.
I think my main problem is that it's all going to boil down to being an updated BF1942 but reskinned with WW1 weaponry.
Like it's going to have the WW1 Aesthetics but work identically to the WW2 version gameplay wise for the sake of "fun" instead how shit actually worked back then.
Basically what I'm saying is they're going to have shit like the Chauchat function like an MP40 and that's blasphemy of a higher order regardless if it's more fun or not.
>>337163665
Sס I woun't but it then
>>337165075
/k/ommandos are bretty cool.
But on topic, I wonder how mustard gas / shit like that'll be deployed. I'm thinking either by a Commander or support class / mortar.
>>337165493
I assume it'll be a grenade type as well as being deployed by commanders
>>337165337
You have to realize that people don't a WWI sim. People don't want nothing but bolt action rifles in suicide charges across no-mans land while artillery rains on them from above. The single player will likely have that anyways and you know at least one of the protags we follow isn't making it to the end. But to ask people to put up with monotonous shit like that combined with lackluster weapons and shit vehicles in multiplayer is asking a bit much.
>>337165826
Then maybe they shouldn't be asking for a WW1 game if they don't actually want a WW1 game
>>337165493
I hope it's commander. Imagine how bad mortar spam was in BF4 now replace the shells with a large cloud of toxic gas that wil kill you within a minute without a gas mask and cut off areas to move forward. Even if you have gas masks your vision will be shit if the trailer was any indicator on how the gas masks will work so you'll probably get mowed down by machine gun fire or picked off by players sitting farther back for easy kills for any person dumb enough to run through a cloud of gas with low visibility of what's on the other side.
>>337160615
Bram
As long as we get a good campaign zeppelin level I'll buy it
>>337166019
That's the thing. No one is asking for a WWI sim. Their asking for game that views WWI through the lens of modern first person shooter. If you want a shooter to be successful there are things you just don't do anymore. And going with anal retentive levels of historical accuracy is one of those things you don't do.
Battlefield 1 story mode will likely follow events that actually happened in WWI. They'll just be more fast paced then they actually were and the weapons will be interesting. But you won't see black American guy one man army a hundred people rambo style with dual Chauchats and a hot blonde American chick at his feet.
>>337142467
Heh
>>337149683
Well neither had WWI. The coordination between artillery, cavalry and infantry was shit without a radio so everyone was doing their job hoping others are not suck at theirs.
>>337166046
You know, all this talk of gas reminded me of how the Frostbite engine has dynamic wind that can change direction and affects objects in the world.
If they make that a part of how gas works (which they really, really should) then it'd make for a very interesting weapon. Sure, it's an incredibly potent weapon. But it can blow harmlessly off to the side, or - heavens forbid - come back towards your team.
Also gas masks were standard issue, so I don't know if gas will even be all that effective in the game. It certainly wasn't in reality by the end of the war with the introduction of the French M2 gas mask for everyone.
>>337149726
So, every gamergator ever is a SJW? Good to know.
>>337171347
I somehow doubt they'll put that much effort into it.
I propose a progression system that actually encourages players to progress. Let's say you start at rank July 28th, 1914, and with each match, you progress four days, until you finally hit November 11th, 1918. That is 391 matches to unlock everything. The increments in which you unlock things is based actual manufactured, shipped, and service dates of equipment, and when you reach that last day, you get to unlock all of the experimental bullshit, running around with .50 caliber machine-guns, full auto M1911's and a Fedorov Avtomat.

>those of us who aren't children knew or albeit unlikely still know people who fought in The Great War
You are lying blatantly. The last combat WWI veteran died couple of years ago in Australia, and he was only considered veteran because he served on an australian navy vessel during the last months of war. The actual last person alive who participated in a Great war was an english nurse who died in 2012. There are only couple of dozens of them lived till 1990s. In fact, your usage of their moral authority as your own in an argument is in my opinion is much worse disrespect.
This is random, but I urge everybody to watch this video. The guy makes some great points, and proves who the winner it with COD vs BF.
If this doesnt end the shit talking, you're all just autists.

Calling that millenials isnt really fair to the peple born in the 80s.
Being the start end of the dumbass generation is absolutely mortifying.

It might indirectly kill you, while you're putting on the mask someone could shoot you.

>>337173753
We wish bud.
Millennials (also known as the Millennial Generation[1] or Generation Y, abbreviated to Gen Y) are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when the generation starts and ends; most researchers and commentators use birth years ranging from the early 1980s to around 2000.

It's strange, WWII was such a massive event with influences still being felt today that it doesn't seem like it was 70 years ago now. Then you look at the veterans and realise that it was an entire lifetime in the past.

WWI through the eyes of a modern shooter means the encouragement of quick-scoping as a game mechanic not shoehorning in automatic weapons where they have no historic business.
No one actually wants Trenchfoot Simulator, we just want a shooter that feels like idealized WWI.
