Hardline had limited FOV with it. I'd be surprised if it didn't have it.
I want Chalky White. Fuck this stand-in.Black don't crack.
Submachineguns existed in the tail end of WWI, although for gameplay purposes you'll probably see them almost everywhere.

WWI was basically the beginning of modern warfare. Old tech and ideas (cavalry charges, single fire weapons, infantry that didn't wear helmets) clashed with the new (tanks, mounted machineguns, huge artillery), often in slaughterfests.

Also used to stop V rockets from Germany in ww2.
The dislike is because of a lot of different reasons. It isn't one concentrated thing.
lol
The building falling in the Siege of Shanghai still amazes to this day.
Whats really stupid is they pissed him away as a character in BF4. This is the game you should have used him in.
When did Overwatch make it to WW1?

Looks good. Fair play to EA though for taking a gamble.

DICE? DICE?

Really excited for this game, however Im unsurprised with the tone they are going for, hell even the box cover doesn't show that this is actually a WW1 game.

So whens the open beta ? Has it been announced?
Parachuting out of it is still one of the greatest feels ever to me

Well then, sounds good!
Also, I may be sounding like a broken record here but I hope underground tunnel warfare is in!

From a branding perspective it would make so much more sense to drop the 1. Need for speed no subtitle, battlefront no subtitle, and then battlefield 1?
Giant inflated penises. War is hell.

So we are looking at just WW1 not an alternate history game? Sorry if this has been made clear I went to b d when the dashboard pic leaked and that was the speculation at the time

Other than the time period I thought it was kind of a boring trailer. Music was good awful too.

I'm so excited.
Kudos for Dice for having the cojones of getting far away from futuristic crap.
Suddenly, CoD MW remasteres sounds so boring (not to mention that space nonsense).

This is an EA game, they're going to put every automatic/semi-automatic that existed into the game, despite how rare they were in reality.
They know their playerbase don't want to use bolt actions.

Epic 64-Player Multiplayer Battles - Squad up with your friends and join in the most epic multiplayer battles in FPS history with up to 64 players fighting as infantry or piloting vehicles ranging from tanks and bikes on the ground to biplanes and gigantic battleships.
Pretty sure these are in.
People really, really hate sci-fi.
Is it me or does his face look very modern day?
It's weird they choose a black person for the cover for a WW I setting. They were some black soldiers but they were like the vast minority.

Ey man, where the Dinos at tho!?I guess we did not disappoint you
I'm very, very happy to see that the Harlem Hellfighters are getting such a prominent presence in the game. Black soldiers throughout WWI (and the second one for that matter) never got the respect they deserved. I'm very pleased to see them not only in a game, but also in the marketing material.
Correct. Weapons and technology will be of the era, but more exotic/rarer things like body armour and submachineguns will probably be a lot more common than they actually were.
With a name like the Harlem Hellfighters, how could you not?

They're pretty specifically referencing the Harlem Hellfighters as with the DLC.

The two are not even in direct competition really. CoD people like CoD. BF people like BF. There's going to be audiences for both. These pissing parties are just people reinforcing their preexisting preferences. It's dumb.

It is awesome, and shows they put some thought and research into this thing.
My thoughts exactly.
People are just tired of it.
For the American campaign episode whatevermajig playing as a black dude would work since the Harlam guys fought way more battles than any other americans. They could 'massage' the history and have the guy fight in tons of different fronts.

It is at times like this that I curse being FPS averse...almost by nature...
I get nausea whenever I attempt playing a title in this genre. :-(
