Imagine if they threw it in as a bonus like the next COD is supposedly doing with MW1.
What would a alternate WWI entail? I'm in the boat the WWI is already interesting enough.
To me that just sounds like futuristic weapons but maps are based on WWI locations which sounds like a cop out.

If I pulled that off, would you die?
Battlefield 2143 and a remastered 1942 thrown in would be dope.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
wall of me!
yea, it's been dialed back during development... think weapons only
Oh dear, I was afraid they'd use "alternative" history to shoehorn in 100% accurate assault rifles with scopes just because every mainstream shootbang is expected to have them.
I would have been fine if they had done it to the story or the setting but if they add modern weapons to it, I'm out.

No way. Steampunk is the worst of the worst.

eh not modern weapons, more like prototypes for variety
Good to see you back John.

Now I'm even more hyped. If it takes the inclusion of prototype weapons to see a return to WW1/WW2 I'll take it. I'd rather have a historically accurate game, but whatever. I'm willing to compromise.

I hope there's at least a couple decent fully automatic weapons. I really suck with semi auto or bolt action rifles.
I also hope the iron sights are designed and rendered better than in the past few BFs. Replacement optics were pretty much mandatory because of the poor irons.
Ok, this sounds like the correct move. I'm hoping for something in the same spirit as the Secret Weapons of WW2 expansion.
Thank you very much.

They could use the Mondragon rifle which was was the first semiautomatic and automatic rifle in the world
And yes it was used in both WW1 and WW2

Oh cool. I knew that thing was in WW2 but didn't realize it was old enough for WW1 as well.
why cant they just make a fucking 3rd one
Because 90% of BC2's team has left DICE over the years. Plus, DICE-DICE (DICE-SE, not LA) has no fucking clue how to make Rush mode work anymore.
Such a shame. At least they have Sabotage as a good fall-back option for those of us that don't want to play Conquest.
They are keeping that mode, r-r-right DICE-DICE?

Should bring you up to speed and show you just how much of the war was NOT simply "trench warfare." As it's been explained multiple times in this thread, WWI was not simply people waiting in tirenches. The entire eastern front never devolved into that kind of warfare and it was a constant line of movement and fighting unlike the western front.
WWI also had a greater leap of technology from the start to the end of the war than WWII did.
I mean at the start of the war they were still using freaking cavalry charges and things, which changed in some (but not all) fronts when MG's and artillery came out and utterly obliterated them.
You had rifles, SMG's, MG's, Semi-auto rifles, tank, sea (including subs) and air warfare, fighting in a huge variety of environments from deserts (With camels) to forest, mountains, highlands.
The change in warfare from the start of the war and then where it was at in the end was the greatest technological leap in a war ever, including WWII.

Because WW1 and WW2 is less exciting because of the lack of technology. There is so much potential for 32vs32 matches in the present day with various technology like
controlling drone, unmanned underwater vehicles, etc that hasn't even been fully realized. I want to recreate WW3, something that is pure fiction in real life, not experience
something that has been written about to death.
Stupid like Activision? If you mean having the highest selling game every single year? Yea ok. Put it this way, if it makes business sense, EA and Activision will make a
historical shooter.
Weird, Battlefield twitter posted videos about BC

If you want fancy technology get the CoD games or Titanfall 2?
Uhm yes, Activision is stupid in my eyes. Havent you seen the variety in CoD games the last couple of years? /s
EA isnt stupid. They have scifi fantasy with Star Wars and Future Military with the Titanfall Franchise.
There is just really no need to force Battlefield into just another Future game.

I think Rush in BF4 is terrible, but other than that, the gunplay is much better thanks to the more conservative suppression mechanics and the polishing they did with the CTE patches (reduction of visual recoil, head glitching fixes, etc.) BF3 has cheese just like BF4 does. Neither game is balanced enough for e-Sports.
ElzarTheBam

Still not sure why (I know why really), Battlefield goes after the e sports scene.
There's nothing e sports about it. If anything, they should somehow make a legitimate showcase of the spectacle of Battlefield.
COD is not equal to Battlefield. Just because COD has technology, does not make it a substitute for Battlefield because they are two entirely different games with completely
different approaches. And no one said we need a jump-pack future based battlefield. The technology I mentioned is all current. That would separate it from their other franchises
which are future based. At the end of the week, we will find out what it is. If it's historical, I will be disappointed. I prefer modern and if you can't see why people would prefer a
modern battlefield then there is nothing I can do for you.

Haha yep.
Will gladly trade in my normal PS4 for a Neo Battlefield Bundle
Same and I hope Dice puts in the effort to enhance the Neo version.
