It's WW1 !!!

[crazychester1247]

Already looks better than Infinite Warfare.:p

P.S Rumor has it it's going to be futuristic.

I hope it's not futuristic, I'm tired of future and modern games.
We need to go back to the classics and maybe even further back. I hope it's WW1, it would be nice to see biplanes, tanks, and trench warfare. Verdun proved that it can be successful and they don't even have planes or tanks, just imagine of battlefield did it, it would be epic.

WW2 would be cool if they go back to bad company style destruction. The new destruction that we see in battlefield 3 and 4 isn't very good imo, bad company seemed to get it almost perfect.

[crazychester1247]

Yes we need a good WWII/WWI game.

[Johnnyboy]

I would prefer if it was WW2 than WW1

[Sgt.Kar98]

Battlefield 1918 with modern graphics and destruction! :p

If they do modern war,at least they should do Gulf War,like the good old Desert Combat.

[Legion]

WW1 has a lot to offer if they do it right. But WW2 is guaranteed to sell so they'll probably do that if it's based in the past. Though I have been wanting a remastered Vietnam.

[R21]

WW1 could genuinely be cool if they re-tooled the frostbite Engine to be better at deformable terrain (like Artillery Strikes leaving big craters and destroying trench sections).

I'd love to see something like that.

Agreed, and the ability for players to man artillery like you could in bad company

[MadWolf]

WWI is not a Battlefield-gameplay setting. No good vehicle gameplay, Not manny weapon (shal i play with this bolt action rifle or with this one hmm :confused:). If you like WWI play Verdun its a good game.

WWII is a beter choice but not sure if they go for that.

2142 is also a optin for the new Battlefield but not a big fan of that one.

So i will wait and see what they will give us.

Ps: hope bye my gods that it will be WW2. Stalingrad with the frostbite Engine 0_0

whilst i agree there were flamethrowers and machine guns and some big slow beast tanks so the vehicle and gun diversity there. If its ww2 then don't let them use the indestructible t34s from war thunder haha

Tho as a pre alpha verdun player my loyalties to that game mean no matter how good a ww1 shooter will be its never going to be better than verdun haha

[Lyman Trumbull]

Less than 1 hour left to the reveal :D

[Hinkel]

Its ww1! :)

[Lyman Trumbull]

Its ww1! :)

Let's hope they do a good job of it, DICE don't really have many let downs :)

[Lyman Trumbull]

Enjoy the reveal everyone :D

[SemajRednaxela]

It's Great War.

Which is Great!

A pistol, Rifle, Axe, and Mace!

[Hinkel]

What an awesome trailer!!!

[Lyman Trumbull]

It looks amazing, WW1 is an interesting scenario with all of the new technology coming into play.

[TrustyJam]

Hopefully it'll attract a lot of new players to more historical focused games. I won't be holding my breath as to the authenticity of the game (looks like a hollywood action movie taking place during WWI) - it is a pretty trailer though. :)

- Trusty

[Soulfly]

(looks like a hollywood action movie taking place during WWI)

- Trusty

exactly my thoughts, though i am really really surprised that DICE/ EA is brave enough to try something new

[Pvt.Scott]

I might buy it. For a historically accurate WWI Game though I'd go to Verdun.

[Legion]

Thia is great news, if they can pull it off it will be great. Destructible ground etc, biplanes, tanks, gas, I think it will be fun.
That trailer is amazing though right!

Edit: updated thread with trailer.

[Pvt.Scott]

I watched it live and it looked amazing

EDIT: Cav looks cool and also beating up some guy with a shovel. Nice.

[crazychester1247]

Battlefield 1 looks Awesome. In other news the CoD Infinate Warfare trailer has twice as many dislikes as likes now. Infinity Wards CEO has probably hanged himself.

Also the presence of those blimps makes me think we'll be getting a Titan assault type mode.

[Jonny Powers]

I feel like this might take a bit of an alternate history turn for WW1, if down to a "weird weapons"/steampunk type alt history. I actually hope this is the case as it would serve much better than a strictly historically accurate setting. That said, I've not a whole bid idea how the Great War played out on the fronts save the Western one.

[Cube210]

You don't need alternate WW1.

Historical WW1 on its own was hardcore and badass enough.

[Norwegian]

Looking pretty damn good! Glad they went down the historical path and not some futuristic bullshit. :)

I'll probably buy it when it comes out, if not even pre-order it. Only turnoff here is the EA DLC that will eventually come.

[R21]

I had a feeling they'd do this (throw a curve ball like with 2142) but I was thinking something maybe in a post apocolyptic setting.

Alternate universe WW1 is still kind of cool though, i'm hoping they do what I said with Artillery chewing up ground.


And the destruction is, according to DICE, even more widespread than before. So much so that early testers asked the team to dial it back.

That sounds like some marketing bull.

[MadWolf]

Oke i was rong. But it looks really good and i am a battlefield fanboy so i will get the game!! Fur gott und vaterland!

[Legion]

I hope they stick to historical ww1 instead of steampunk/alternate history style, it would be cool but I just prefer historical ww1.

I'm sure they'll have ground deformation since they had it in the other games, hopefully the destruction is better than the previous 2 games, destruction in 3 and 4 wasn't very impressive imo compared to bad company 2.

People have actually been asking for a WWI/WWII shooter for a long time. I'm glad DICE listened to their requests. I'm really interested to see what WWI Battlefield is like.

Meanwhile it took the BF1 trailer one day to get half as many views as CoD IW got in 5 days. RIP CoD, you had a good run. Listen to this to pay your respects to CoD. (https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)

Also Battlefield 1, more like Battlefield WON!:p ehh... :(

[BloodBeag]

I think world war one is maybe not the best idea for a game like battlefield seeing as it was one of if not the worst war in the world (except obscure chinese wars that killed 15% of the world population that nobody knows about)

[Legion]

I think world war one is maybe not the best idea for a game like battlefield seeing as it was one of if not the worst war in the world (except obscure chinese wars that killed 15% of the world population that nobody knows about)

Why would they not do it because it was bad? WW2 had anywhere from 60-85 million deaths while WW1 had 20 million. WW2 is the wort war to ever occur yet people make games about it all the time.

[BloodBeag]

yes but world war two has a clear 'good guys vs bad guys' world war one was just "we had 95% casualties in 3 hours and we're all scared 19 year olds with no reason to be here and our deaths achieved nothing"

[BloodBeag]

and I think the whole style of warfare was much worse in the Western Front in World war one. I also think world war two isn't great to make games about either really.

Well they made Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 1943 which were pretty popular but I understand it's just your opinion, in my opinion however, WW2 and WW1 are great to be used in gaming.

[R21]

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1047131442017316&substory_index=0&id=119504188113384

I love the comment about Historical Gamemode in Verdun, that went out in the Window a long time ago when they made it so all the factions could play in the Maps. It may as-well be in an alternate reality.

[Legion]

No war is ever good vs bad except for maybe terrorist. There's always good and bad people on both sides. The civil war is the bloodiest war that America ever fought in, yet I think it's a good thing that they are making it.
I just think it's strange that you think their deaths achieved nothing, war takes sacrifice. There is no such thing as a good or clean war.

Edit: I don't want to start an argument, I was just stating my opinion.

Well played Verdun devs... well played.

Also am I the only one who finds it odd BF killed CoD on V-Day? Speaking of, The Battlefield 1 trailer has surpassed CoD's views already, which means BF is getting 10 million views a day compared to CoD's 2 million. That's a five-to-one advantage! What have you done Infinity Ward.:mad:

I love the battlefield 1 theme song though. Here it is.

[BloodBeag]

what sounds more like the 19 teens than 'dubstep'. I did see a version of the trailer on battlefield's twitter where there'd be a black and white filter over the trailer and had old time piano music. I know World war one was fought with more than just bolt action rifles but I can see them taking it too far and every single soldier having some kind of automatic weapon.

[Brooklyn]

I think I will just stick with Verdun. Form the video, Battlefield 1 looks to alternative history for my taste.

[MadWolf]

Battlefield 1 will be a alternative history type game. But i wil still buy/Pre-order it. I want to stab people with my saber, shoot them down in a red baron like biplane or bach their brains in with trench bats/knives.

I haven't seen them say anywhere that it is alternate reality.

[TrustyJam]

I haven't seen them say anywhere that it is alternate reality.

It's a Battlefield game - it kind of goes without saying. :P In what reality are soldiers able to.. say.. jump out of a plane and back into a chopper while falling through the air - fly that one for a bit then chute down to a tank and drive about in that? It's never been about authenticity.

- Trusty

[BloodBeag]

Somewhere I saw someone saying that for this one when you spawn into a vehicle that's your role so if you spawn as a pilot you're a pilot until you die.

I guessed that much but the way peopel were saying it, I thought the game would be some kind of steampunk 1984 world war one.

I don't think that's alt history. Nearly every older CoD game has been set in WWII and you could jump out of vechicles and such. These games are meant to be like action movies, which arent always alt history.

Wolfenstein, for example, is alt history.

That's just a technicality. If battlefield sticks to actual battles or keeps realistic weapons and stuff and doesn't add steampunk or weapons that didnt exist then I'll be happy.

[Grant97]

I hope that this BF will be more focused in squad gameplay! Because a WW1 game played in Rambo's style it doesn't make sense :confused:

That could also mean, that a sniper cant get into a plane and land on a hill (like in BF 3, which was annoying) so i really like to hear that.

I think it was levelcapgaming or openworldgames that said that, but I agree it would be cool if you have to be a pilot to fly or a tanker to operate tanks, kinda like heroes and generals.

[Maximus Decimus Meridius]

i am thinking about big zeppelins which carry some planes. A fight between two of those zeppelins would be great. every zeppelin start its planes an begin to shoot with all his cannons. a little bit like in SW BF 2. You destroy the mothership part by part.

too bad it has a huge negative effect on the gameplay, in Red Orchestra only tankers could operate a tank which is somewhat logic. I really hope to see this in BF 1

^Historical WW1 Zeppelin

[BloodBeag]

it sounds like everything in the game will be real in history. But it will be guns where only about 5 were actually used in combat but half of your team will be using them

[crazychester1247]

it sounds like everything in the game will be real in history. But it will be guns where only about 5 were actually used in combat but half of your team will be using them
At this point I'm unwilling to make any major predictions about the game considering we haven't seen much of it yet. Although what I've read and watched from the press indicates that most of the weaponry will be quite realistic. So far the two main weapon groups appear to be bolt action and semi-auto rifles, and old style SMG's and shotguns that couldn't hit the broadside of a barn but are good for clearing out trenches. Which is pretty accurate for WWI, you have riflemen holding the line and teams of machine gunners and shotgunners infiltrating and clearing out trenches. DICE generally researches their stuff and all of the WWII games felt like WWII combat. So although it's probably not going to be completely accurate, I suspect it will feel like WWI combat and not some WWI reskin of BF4/BF3.

Now that their done with that, it appears DICE has made some major changes to the class system. We now know there's a dedicated pilot/driver class. Anybody have some predictions as to what some other changes could be? I personally think classes are going to be the aforementioned pilot/driver, a rifleman class of some sort, a heavy class with LMG's and flamethrowers, and a stormtrooper type class with SMG's and Shotguns

[BloodBeag]

well from what I heard it's Assault, Support, Medic, Recon. I just hope that the majority of people have bolt action rifles like in real life. I'm not sure how they're implementing officers though because i think you see one in the trailer and they're pretty important.

Well that was the old formula, as I said before we already know for sure there's a new dedicated driver/pilot class that's going to be used, and in WWI I have no idea how they'd do a recon class considering the only way of doing recon is by spotting them, which everyone can do.

Also the BF1 trailer has 20 million views! ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!

[Rithal]

I've heard that there will be Assault with early SMGs, Medic with bolt action rifles, Support with heavy machine guns, and recon with scoped bolt action rifles. Also as other people said, you will spawn in vehicles and it sounds like you can't leave them. Finally we will no longer have ordinary soldiers flying planes and operating heavy vehicles. :p

I so glad they did that. As for the classes I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

[Viksie]

Looks good, haven't played a WW1 game in ages. I've got a few doubts when it comes to the game and how it will function but I guess time will tell :)

[Legion]

I think artillery could be a class since they are bringing back the ability to operate artillery, also ship captain could be one since they are bringing back battleships like in 1942.

[crazychester1247]

I managed to find a video with more details about gameplay.

The classes are Assault, Medic, Support, and Scout. Plus driver/pilot. Assault has SMG's and Shotguns. Medic has Rifles. Scout has Rifles. Support has LMG's and flamethrowers.

[R21]

I think artillery could be a class since they are bringing back the ability to operate artillery, also ship captain could be one since they are bringing back battleships like in 1942.

I'm genuinely curious to see how this works, they're missing a trick if Artillery doesn't chew up ground given that it seems a lot of it will be manually aimed. It'll be very underwhelming if it doesn't.

I know right! I was expecting CoD to slowly die of franchise fatigue as non-hardcore fans started to trickle away... Not for all of their fans to just start hating it without any warning.

P.S I don't hate CoD, I just hate "new" CoD. The WWII ones, MW1-2, and the first Black Ops were all good.

Cod2 still my fav, cod4 still very good especially on custom maps. Cod WaW also nice, everything else sucks Dogs danglies

CoD, as in, the first one, is still my favourite. Their first mistake was adding regenerating health.

I've been waiting so long for a new WW2 or WW1 Game. We really do need to go back to the basics when it was just really nice to play. If you guys haven't heard of these new titles really do go check them out:

Days of War (http://drivenarts.github.io/dow.html)

Battalion 1944 (http://www.battaliongame.com/)

Both new independent games coming out in the near future backed by Kickstarter just like WoR. They look similar but I'm a little more sided with Days of War.

Days of War is pretty much like Day of Defeat Source. In fact, from watching most of the developer youtube videos; it looks like they've copied the maps of DoD:S as well. Such as Donner, Anzio.

[JohnSmirnov]

I know I will sound like a way too whiny child with a lot of complains, but personally I hope they will keep their word about "diversity" in terms of "less known or even unknown" things about WW1, cause personally I do not want it to end only at Harlem Hellfighters and female Bedouin warriors. I mean, what about other nations like Chinese, Russia, Portugese, Romanians and many many others, various interesting units/forces/etc like Siamese Expeditionary Forces for example, various sieges/battles/etc not so many people know about or maybe even dont know at all? Don't get me wrong, Harlem Hellfighters and female Bedouin Warriors are cool stuff too, but what makes them more important than the others? Also I think they need to pay a lot of attention to France, since they played a huge role in WW1. It's too early to judge of course, but I really REALLY hope they won't screw this up, even though we all know EA and companies that work under their wing.... plus that release in Fall seems kinda... fishy, I mean, wouldnt a game with such topic take much more time to analyze various historical materials and so on, not to mention other things like maps, models, scripts and all that other stuf?

[dmurray6]

I'd like to see a dev go back to creating some single player campaigns. There is certainly a place for multiplayer, but it seems like the single player days are history. Nothing worse than putting out money for a multi-player ONLY game, and having your gaming experience botched by a bunch of douche bags. There are times where playing a single player game, and I've cleared out the enemy's, I'd just spend time roaming around the map looking at the graphics...architecture, details, etc. Those days seem extinct.

At least they all handle realisticlly. You can't hit anything beyond 50 feet with the smg's and the MG's only work well when you deploy the bi-pod. Also around half of the players were using rifles of some sort.

[Legion]

I'm just waiting to see some artillery gameplay, that's what I'm most excited for. I've seen gameplay of the 75mm guns but I wan't to see some big guns.

[Theron Branson]

Right now for WW2 fans there's also Traction Wars and Festung Europa. I still love playing old Red Orchestra and Darkest Hour mod of RO.

[Legion]

They could easily make a ww2 expansion for bf1, they already have the setting and ground work laid. Kind of like the Vietnam expansion for bad company 2.

According to the gameplay those have some decent recoil (not sure if that was just "cosmetically"). Regarding the rifles, i have only seen sniper rifles so far..did i miss something ?

confirmed that there won't be french or russians in multiplayer on launch. No russians because it's set in 1918 and no French because the map where they should have had French, they instead at the US and also EA are money monsters. I'm expecting Verdun, the Somme and Gallipoli and maybe even that german place in China to be dlc.

The French and US fought closely together so I'm not sure why they wouldn't have French to begin with.

They've stated France and Imperial Russia will be ingame for single player. Don't know if it's true or not.

France will join as a DLC, though they are not "sure" yet if that DLC will cost anything ;)

Cut to 6 months from now and they're selling a $50 season pass

Oh my Goooood... I really can't believe it. I dont know about Single Player, but put Russians and France out of multiplayer? Seriously? But oh, at least you can play as black Germans... FANTASTIC! PERFECT "DIVERSITY"!

[LocJope]

Yes.. but I still came and will play that game as soon as possible!!! :cool:

Yeah, can't wait to see them have fully automatic Gewehr 98's with Reflex Sights. Also can't wait for tanks zooming around the map. Or the fact that almost everyone will have either a fully automatic, or semi-automatic firearm, or, you know, Flammenwerfers.

I have no words except Really EA?

Are you refering to that what I posted about Russian and French being absent at least from MP?

Also, I Googled and found more info. They also planned to add female models for MP but cut them, because "boys would find them too unrealistic". LOL! But adding blacks to German army outside of African campaign or make it that blacks can be 95% of the teams (including Australians among British, well.. I think some Australians in MP gameplay) is apparently alright, yes? Also, why did they bother to add female bedouin warrior in campaign as playable character then? I mean, I am not a feminist or some sort of SJW, but this stupidity, double-standards and hypocricy just stunns me. *Sigh* I knew, I just firgging knew that EA and DICE would screw up as usual.

EDIT: Oh, they said that French will make it as DLC after release of the game though... still sucks that no Russia though.

[JaegerCoyote]

Yeah, that and other stuff.

Black soldiers in the German army outside or Africa ?! can you share your source of information about that ? i mean the Askari did a great job but i am in heavy doubt that one oh them set foot on European soil...for the French it would correct though

I think he was being sarcastic in regards to blacks.

[NorthernRanger]

After viewing the recent gameplay videos I have found that this game should suit my needs for a WW1 shooter that isn't Verdun. With that being said I'm worried about the prevalence of semi autos and SMGs within the game and I feel like it could ruin the WW1 immersion.

Thats the only part I don't like about battlefield 1 so far, I was really hoping bolt actions would be the focus. Everything else looks great though.

You obviously didnt read my post carefully. I am talking about that in gameplay videos of Multiplayer you can see black German soldiers in it, and from what I heard from some people, at certain point both teams on MP consisted of blacks in 95%, if not more. That's what bothers me. I am just mocking their hypocricy and double-standrads. Also, have a screenshot: https://imgur.com/wYHqqIv

Also, from what I know, Germany had black soldiers outside of African campaign, but they were EXTREMELY rare. I can be wrong though.

Yes we need a good WWII/WWI game. We already have world at war on xbox 360 noscope. I believe this will be a great game, no ww1 games modern but like all games greatly exaggerated for crowds of fans.

I've been hoping main-stream shooters would get back to their roots with early-mid twentieth century warfare, and battlefield has done just that.
