The new Battlefield looks f***ing awesome. Apparently the trailer released so far is in engine footage, here it is: Comes out worldwide October 21st ![]() So it's Battlefield 1 apparently set in an alternate World War 1. Makes sense, just trench warfare would be boring. The graphics look pretty incredible, it's as pretty as Battlefront. A pretty s*** thing about it though "Play it first on Xbox One with EA Access" kinda lame. They'd be crazy to make a huge gap, hopefully it's not massive. Hate how this stuff still happens. Holy f*** though, tide is probably going to change here considering the dislikes on Infinite Warfare's trailer 482K dislikes at the moment. Hopefully CoD steps it up and puts some effort in to improving their franchise. It's strange how EA does so bad with most things but Battlefield is usually pretty solid, it's basically just Hardline that's been awful. Can't wait. Hope it's not overly ridiculous though still want the campaign to resemble WW1. Edited by Steve, May 6 2016, 08:44 PM.

My friend had told me about some rumors he had heard about the new Battlefield and he thought he'd heard it was gonna be World War II (he might've said World War I, but I digress), and I thought it sounded very interesting. There hasn't been enough FPS games set in WWI (or WWII for that matter) so I am psyched for this. |

Yeah I'm so happy they went for it it's a pretty cool idea having an alternate WW1. Wonder how alternate it is. It's described as "The dawn of all out war" so maybe it's like WW1 but having went on for decades? Possibly having just started in 1. Seems you can ride horses in it...the guy wasn't really allowed to say much in it though. Feel like it might just be a campaign thing with the way he tried to dodge it which is a shame but I don't really want to be seeing horses getting slaughtered left and right anyway So far the trailer has an almost 100:1 like/dislike ratio. This was timed so well with that CoD announcement also. |

It's not gonna be alternate according to numerous sources. In any case it's gonna be a sick game. |

Yeah I'm not sure on that... I missed a couple minutes of what they were talking about but I never heard them explicitly state that it isn't alternate. I hope it is just so they can take some liberties with the story and technology. It'd be cool if it was a WW1 that didn't end. Sounds like story is more of a focus this time which is awesome, we get the perspective of several different characters so there must be more effort in the campaign. Didn't care for 3 or 4's campaign at all, Hardline's was apparently boring too so provided it's a good story this will be interesting. If they release this and it doesn't have major issues like BF4's netcode problems then EA is going to gain some serious rep. |

It's EA, it will have major issues. Best off waiting a month or two after release for it to actually be finished. You do know that WW1 wasn't all trench warfare right? Chances are you'll be playing as a skirmisher or saboteur. They aren't going to have you walking slowly in line formations towards machine gun arcs. I would like to see all the theatres of war in this game, not just the western front. Perhaps The Italian campaign? Russians? Trying to defend Serbia from the Austro-Hungarians? African campaigns? Ottoman Empire? All that good s***. |

There's tons of games set in WWII, both in the Battlefield and Call of Duty franchise as well as Brother's in Arms and some other series. WWI has very little games, in fact I can't recall any FPS games. anyway the graphics look good and all but we'd have to wait until gameplay videos to see if the game is worthwhile. I don't know how historically accurate using blimps in warfare was considering what happened to the Hindenburg, but it should be interesting. |

Zeppelins were very common during the great war. Several cities in England got bombed by them and there were dogfights against other Zeppelins and planes. They were used to bomb trenches and fortifications and for reconnaissance too. |

Yeah I know WW1 wasn't all trench stuff but there weren't as many big battles to base a game around, not on the kind of scale Battlefield usually goes for anyway. Guess they might make some up 'cause it's a game why not. Combat is apparently a lot more up close an personal, hope this means we'll get some good melee stuff that isn't just a QTE thing where the person with the best connection always wins... And yeah it's EA but they fixed the netcode in BF4 so I'm sure they'll have least put a lot of work in to making that stable to begin with, after the disaster with BF4 they really need to. I hope there's some kind of cool trench mode with snipers and gas for some slow paced but tense gameplay. Lot of scepticism about the map sizes. Wouldn't mind if they're a tiny bit smaller but I hope they're still pretty big, Battlefront's are kind of a joke for aerial combat you get no time to do anything before you're at the edge. Could be the limitation of the engine though which means it might be present in Battlefield 1. Also apparently some of the tanks can carry a squad of 4 people, that sounds so cool. Really good options for seeing the joy of teamwork here. |

Wrong. The Eastern Front, African campaign, Italian campaign, the Balkans and Ottoman campaigns were all fought out in the open due to the terrain. Also have you not read how huge each front could be? There was literally a battle line from Estonia down to the black sea. So the potential for this game is huge. |

Yeah but how many of those had the kind of close quarter combat that goes in these games? Like in the trailer there's several planes fighting over a relatively small jungle/forest while people fight below. I doubt WW1 was that chaotic, it was more spread out wasn't it? |

The battle lines were often stretched from coast to coast but all along those lines, battalions of soldiers were organised in basically the same way that they were in the second world war. If they managed to reach the enemy trenches then they would engage in fierce hand to hand combat. Then they had to defend the captured trench from a counter attack. More often than not the counter attack succeeded and they were driven back again. So yes there was plenty of close quarter combat. In the Italian campaign they fought in the mountains as opposed to trenches. They'd try to bombard the enemy with artillery fire for hours on end and then hopelessly try and charge them. The eastern front was basically tens of thousands of men running towards machine gun fire and artillery. The opening scene to the film Enemy At The Gates which is a ww2 film shows the kind of strategy they usually employed in eastern Europe. In the Ottoman Empire near Baghdad and Kut they could not dig trenches. The scale here was much smaller than the western fronts but you still had the same principle. Send thousands of men to run straight at machine gun fire and hope enough make it through. And sometimes they did. Only to be repulsed by a counter attack later. It's actually similar to how multiplayer plays out. Wave after wave running straight at people camped with machine guns. So I think this game will work pretty well. |

Hmm, awesome though I do wonder how it will all play out because WW1 had mostly bolt action weaponry for infantry didn't it? There weren't as many automatic weapons flying around as WW2 so realistically most of the guns won't be automatic. Which creates a huge difficulty curve from the previous Battlefield games where most weapons are automatic and easy to use. One reason an alternate history could be a better option. Don't think they confirmed Levolution, wonder how they'd work that in to the game. No skyscrapers to topple over. Potentially Zeppelin's though imagine one of those smashing down and setting a forest on fire or something. |

That is true. Most soldiers used bolt action rifles. It's something that I think might put off a few potential players. I personally love bolt action rifles. They're more accurate and they sound cool. I'm curious if they do anything with bayonet fighting as opposed to just generic slashing and stabbing attacks. Zeppelins crashing into the ground would be a site to behold. I also hope they allow us to capture a trench and then grab the enemy's machine guns and use them to defend counter attacks. I imagine there will be multiplayer modes where the aim is to defend a trench for X amount of time or to capture so many lines? Also biplane duels online in theory should be one of the greatest things ever... in theory. |
