Now that was a damn good trailer, i actually liked the music too. Finally a break from the modern, futuristic, jet pack crap. Haven't picked up Battlefield for a while, think I'm back in!

 

[Scotia]

Has any wallpapers been released yet?

 

[TemplaerDude]

Stupid name. Excited, though. Love the shit out of the original Battlefields, I hope this can recapture some of that magic.

 

[Kaako]

Battlefield has like one of the greatest themes and they don't even use it right. Just put that shit full blast in there.

Most definitely. That theme is still fiiiire.

 

[DiscoDave]

Yea this looks better than all the futuristic crap lately. There's goto be a calvary charge at some point so we can blow the fuck out of some horses. Fuck horses.

 

[Papacheeks]

I think you have to buy the Deluxe PC version on Origin.

Just saw that, that sucks its the only place that has it.

And that price for the collectors edition is fucking stupid. I paid 149.99 for Witcher 3, and 119.99 for Uncharted 4. Both worth the price for what your given.

This is no more than 120 bucks compared to other collections.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

holy shit so fucking hype. Better than I expected tbh, I was just happy to go back to ww1/2 era but this looks fun as shit.

 

[mcz117chief]

any idea under which operating systems the game will be? I hope it isn't Windows 10 exclusive, I am still on 7.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

if the multiplayer are still set during the WW1, it will be very unlikely

Let's not kid ourselves here..... this game will not be historically accurate at all.

 

[Tarnpanzer]

Can´t wait to play this on Neo in 1080p.

 

[Akronis]

I find it hard to believe that regular bolt-action rifles won't be a mainstay in the game.

Unfortunately the majority of people would be pissed if you were forced to use bolt-action rifles with the exception of a couple people. Battlefield is not targeting the Red Orchestra crowd where full auto and semi autos are limited per team.

I wish this were the case, but Battlefield is still mainly an arcadey shooter.

[Ghostmaster]

ITT: People arguing which war was more brutal:

Agent Orange(yes I know it's Vietnam) vs Mustard Gas

Concentration camps vs Trench warfare

Stalingrad vs Verdun

Pls guys...stop...really no need for this shit.

 

[RoKKeR]

Battlefield has like one of the greatest themes and they don't even use it right. Just put that shit full blast in there.

Yes. This weird perversion of Seven Nation Army is awful.

 

[NullPointer]

Most definitely. That theme is still fiiiire.

My favorite is still the Chamber version from BC2.

 

[OccamsLightsaber]

OMG FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOD

 

[Spizz]

Incredible, well done DICE. This is shaping up to be an amazing year for multiplayer FPSs.

CoD4 Remaster
Battlefield 1
Titanfall 2

 

[Baroquemantic]

The game is following different characters in different campaigns during WW1. Harlem Hellfighters will almost surely be one of them.

Cool, thanks!

 

[Chubzdoomer]

Ah, gotta do the bullshit pre-order bonuses as always.

 

[ultrazilla]

 

[JamesAR15]

Day.Fucking.One.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Any theories on what kind of attachments or customization options for guns there are? They confirmed customization will be present in the game.

 

[Granadier]

Trench foot is a serious, somber condition. How dare you suggest they create a form of entertainment from that?

 

[Chuck]

Ok, this looks very cool.

 

[Scipio]

That's what sells.

I disagree, there has been a lot of slow paced and succesful game trailers. (for example, the Dead Island one)

 

[Deadbeat]

Question: If that is a 1911, then why does it have A1 features? Incorrect time period, DICE.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Might have to day-one this.

 

[J-Rzez]

I'm not sure why, but watching the trailer again that music removed so much hype for me. Such a distraction. I know it shouldn't, but it did, yet at the end it sounds like the BF theme, should have rolled that.

Trailer showed the basics to put me to rest, but it was an awfully poor trailer i think overall. Like ridiculously poor. Going for that over the top CoD type crap. They need to release a different one and fast I think. Something more to expectations, w/o the crap disjointing music.

Finally, maybe i'm alone on this, but WW1 was gory. The lack of gore in this is pretty disjointing to me. Hopefully there can be a setting to amp this up.

Regardless, day 1.

 

[bounchfx]

great trailer, glad to have a new setting. excited about the implications of the new tools, heres hoping it's not just a reskin and that it will actually play somewhat differently (otherwise what's the point?)

absolutely horrible name however.

did they release any gameplay videos, or just the trailer?

 

[AmyS]

We've come along way since this game, Knights of the Sky (1990).

[SolidSnakex]

Dead Island's trailer is also one of the most misleading game trailers ever created. This simply represents what Battlefield is. It's over the top action.

 

[etta]

The more I watch it the more excited I grow about the WW setting. Feels so goddamn refreshing after all the futuristic stuff of late.

 

[Akronis]

Question: If that is a 1911, then why does it have A1 features? Incorrect time period, DICE.

Because this isn't going to be historically accurate at all as many people have said. The Battlefield and modern shooter crowd in general don't give a shit about authenticity.

 

[Bringer Of Bacon]

Just preorder ed

 

[Arttemis]

I hope for fuck's sake that the flying is not the dumbed down trash it is in Battlefront.

I will buy this for the flying alone if it's competent.

 

[Hidden One]

Now that's a lie.

 

[nib95]

Looks awesome!

 

[GustyGardens]

I don't think that's Lawrence, henna face tattoos are a very feminine tradition, that's like having a male soldier in the 1950's wear lipstick.

Yeah, that tattoo threw me off, too. I can't think of any troop in the Arab Army that would have had women soldiers. I have some books at home I can look through, but off the top of my head the only thing I can think of is during the Battle of Aqaba a lot of smaller tribes joined in the fight. I also know that Faisal troops in the early stages of the Revolt were largely made up of nomadic tribes in the desert.

I'd imagine there aren't a lot of specifics about these people, so one could take some liberties and have a woman fight alongside them.

Either way, it's going to be pretty cool.

 

[Chuck]

Is this actually the first game with a 1 applied to its title prior to release?

 

[BBboy20]

Because this isn't going to be historically accurate at all as many people have said. The Battlefield and modern shooter crowd in general don't give a shit about authenticity.

Maybe not with the physics of things but the looks? The least they can try that.

 

[Protein]

Yea this looks better than all the futuristic crap lately. There's goto be a calvary charge at some point so we can blow the fuck out of some horses. Fuck horses.

This is what I came into this thread for.

 

[draughn101]

I disagree, there has been a lot of slow paced and succesful game trailers. (for example, the Dead Island one)

Ok, and years of COD and crap superhero/ michael bay movies proves otherwise. They spent the entire pre-show and afterwards talking about those "Battlefield" moments, blowing things up, and the crazy videos and stunts. They know who they are selling this game to, and I don't think a somber realistic trailer was going to capture that attention. It's what I would've preferred, but I don't think it is going to capture a 15 year old's attention like what we got. I don't think Dead Island is operating on this scale.'

Again, it's what I would've preferred. Including not having that dummy host talking about bayonetting people like a moron, but that's where we are.

 

[Zemm]

wow they really butchered a decent song

 

[JamesAR15]

Question: If that is a 1911, then why does it have A1 features? Incorrect time period, DICE.

Definitely looks like an A1 to me as well but I suppose they figure most people will never know the difference.

 

[Nirolak]

There won't be a gameplay video until EA's E3 event.

 

[Xamtheking]

wow they really butchered a decent song

better than IW trailer at least

 

[Magwik]

Lawrence of Arabia?
WW1?
SOLD SOLD SOLD

 

[Acinixys]

Seriously. At least the Medal of Honor was inspired by Saving Private Ryan and such

This, for the first big budget WW game ever?

I'm hoping the campaign is a bit more mature

I expect nothing more than bro fists and muscular dudes smacking each other on the back with their huge

Spoiler

egos

BF has never been strong on story

 

[Deadbeat]

Because this isn't going to be historically accurate at all as many people have said. The Battlefield and modern shooter crowd in general don't give a shit about authenticity.

Im just ribbing them because they obviously transferred the model over from previous works.

 

[Jezbollah]

I really like the look of this - lets hope they can channel into this what made Battlefield 1943 such a great game.
