Where can j watch the reveal?

Damn this preshow is baddddddddd

I've just tuned in, I don't think it's possible that they could be doing this in a more boring way.

 

[Disxo]

Omgggg!

 

[jediyoshi]

Origin works better than steam. Its quick, clean, and does what I need.

That's a hell of a fucking caveat. You don't think the internet would catch fire if the Workshop just went away one day?

 

[Caesar III]

That preshow is so booring

 

[pottuvoi]

Isn't G Sync better than Free Sync?

Not on AMD Hardware.

hey guuuys it's time to talk about battlefield hardline yaaay fooor one houuurrr

 

[iCodec]

Oh boy if they don't show gameplay after this long ass preshow...

 

[mysocksarepink]

No.

well I think you're wrong but that's off topic

 

[GustyGardens]

BATTLEFIELD 1914

Images and other stuff.

Believe.

The tank, RPG and Goliath were all WW2 designs. We had tanks in WW1, the Germans used the A7V. The RPG was developed towards the end of WW1, but it wasn't perfected and used up until the second World War.

This is a WW1 German tank.

[Huge Succeeded]

oh my god
I just realized
This means that there's gonna be MUSIC in this Battlefield game. It's been so long.
Sweeping bombastic orchestras!
Horns that don't sound like transformer farts!
yooo

 

[Starfield]

Guys in case the reveal trailer gets uploaded earlier on youtube, please don't post the link here.

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

His point is absolutely correct, though. The pacing in maps like Arica Harbor would grind to a halt once all the buildings were leveled. Hardly anybody enjoyed the ensuing Rattenkrieg. And that level of destruction meant that nearly every building was a copy-paste job, making for some pretty dull layouts and strategies.

Battlefield 4 was better in this regard, but because there's no way the hardware today would be able to handle dynamic destruction of skyscrapers, office buildings, TV stations, and whatever, they instead put in scripted "levolution" which a lot of players grew tired of fairly quickly. Each approach has its pros and cons.

without the full destruction bf3/bf4 were such a chore to play, every game played out in the same choke points of the map. bc2 was much more versatile in this regard.

in bc2 when buildings were bought to rubble people would employ smoke for cover so no i dont believe the flow came to a halt, players would have to alter their tactics. bf3/bf4 was the same shit every game

 

[Disxo]

15 minutes of battlefield music? This is so awesome to play while making an espresso

yep. been saying this exact thing for years.

"BC2 destruction was the best!!"

No, you were just destroying the same 4 sheds and town houses over and over again in the same manner.

and once a map was completely leveled it was complete shit.

 

[draughn101]

This is going to be an interesting hour or so for this thread.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Gsync panels are freesync compliant iirc.

I haven't heard that, I was under the impression that you needed either a GSYNC or FreeSync monitor with NVIDIA and AMD cards.

Isn't G Sync better than Free Sync?

I was saying that they included AMD cards with an NVIDIA GSYNC monitor, but if the first quote is true then disregard my previous comment.

 

[_woLf]

what's with the Pirates of the Caribbean music

(in all seriousness, this track is definitely a new variation of the BF theme)

 

[Surfinn]

Oh boy if they don't show gameplay after this long ass preshow...

Does anyone remember how reveals usually go for BF? I think most of the time they show gameplay.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

Watching on youtube and just remembered that UC4 can easily be spoiled. Close chat everyone!

 

[VolticArchangel]

There's an Origin PC on the stream to be given away to a lucky winner for some competition on a twitter poll. It's equipped with an AMD FX 9790 + R9 390 x 2 + 32 GB RAM + Logitech input devices....


....and a Philips G-SYNC display panel?


DICE GO HOME YOU'RE DRUNK.

 

[Hidden One]

It's still weird seeing Battlefield with Xbox partnership, hell its weird seeing CoD with the PlayStation partnership @_@

 

[Mugenjin]

As always the chat is beyond bad. And the pre show isn't much better either. I still can't believe they are going for WW1 setting.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Why is this song so piratey?

 

[Palculator]

Guys in case the reveal trailer gets uploaded earlier on youtube, please don't post the link here.

Why? You wouldn't have to click it.

 

[Kasper]

This is the first time since the Bad Company games that I've been excited for a new Battlefield title. I really hope they nail the campaign with this one!

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

New theme song on stream right now?

 

[Deadbeat]

That's a hell of a fucking caveat. You don't think the internet would catch fire if the Workshop just went away one day?

People would defend it and say it was a good decision valve removed it.

 

[PeskyToaster]

Rifle grenades were pretty extensively used. I hope they find a way to make close quarters combat viable.

 

[jediyoshi]

Why is this song so piratey?

Battlefield Pirates versus Sharks. I'm ready.

 

[thejpfin]

Music that is now being played in the stream, battlefield 1 music? Never heard this type of pirate style bf theme.

 

[OrochiJR]

Dammit I'd really like to watch the reveal live, but it airs exactly when I get off from work -_-

Any estimations on how long the reveal might be?

 

[Elitist1945]

Likin' the music tbh.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

New theme song on stream right now?

edit: nope lol bf1942

 

[Menitta]

I'm not going to watch it, I'll just watch this thread. It worked really well for Persona.

 

[Raide]

Why is this song so piratey? Is it from that one pirate mod?

BF:1542

 

[a916]

New theme song on stream right now?

That's what I thought too.

 

[Tubie]

I just played a round of BF4 Dragon Valley.

Match took 45mins.

FeelsGoodMan

I'm at maximum hype right now.

 

[dkeane]

Have they said how long this is going to be?

 

[Venom Fox]

Guys in case the reveal trailer gets uploaded earlier on youtube, please don't post the link here.

What the matter with a link? Of course it'll likely have its own thread but still... It's behind a link, not embedded for all to see. A link means you have to click to see what is behind it.

 

[Ozorov]

Is this the new theme?

 

[The Faceless Master]

full on destruction was 100% better. if this doesnt have bc2 level destruction i aint buying this shit.

gonna guess a ton of people don't want that after going up against organized teams in BC2

i know playing against a a group of GAF peeps was a nightmare, especially on maps like Nelson Bay. where are the trees? gone. that's where. walk across the open snow and die.

 

[GodlyTwins]

So freaking ready, 15~ mins to go!

 

[brokenbeans]

I'm ready

 

[DiddyInAHellcat]

Battlefield 1 presented by Xbox One hmmm

 

[Wolfie5]

Hmm... "presented by Xbox One"... hope the trailer won´t be Xbox One footage

 

[Rebel Leader]

I hear what sounds like 1943 theme

 

[_woLf]

Woah, this is a remastered BF1942 theme.

This is not the same version as in 1943.

 

[Darryl M R]

Is there a gaf twitch chat or no chat?
