It has over 15 counting Star Cards, and 12 base weapons.
Still, a lot less than the dozens upon dozens found in the last Battlefield game.

For some reasons, I thought the AK series were the only guns that carried the year of their manufacture in their names. Didn't know that MP40 was exactly the same too.

Most of the German weapons of that time got named after its manufacture
Gewehr 98 (1898)
MP40 (1940)
StG 44 (1944)
Gewehr 43 (1943)
And so on.
So what. They are all fun, and most prefer to use 2-3 at most.
And the 'dozens upon dozens' are variants of the same firearm, lol.
100 yards (~90 metres) isn't sniper range. IIRC that's either the first or the second blade setting on old-fashioned iron sights.
Battlefront isn't an established franchise though, and one of the biggest ips in general. A light on content game was going to sell, and clearly did. It was also a reboot. By this account, this will be bf5. It's not the same.
It's one thing to suggest that EA greenlight a mainline Battlefield title set in a difficult to market, though admittedly fresh, era, but to also say that EA is allowing minimal weapons and attachments is too unbelievable. Regardless of what would make a better game.
How would that even work?
500 metres is technically possible, in that the bullet would still have a predictable trajectory, and many weapons did come with blade sights for that distance (IIRC some went all the way to around 700 or so), but the average soldier would miss about 85% of shots at that distance. For that matter, the average soldier wouldn't even bother engaging at that distance, prefering instead to save his shots until the enemy drew nearer. This fact didn't pass unnoticed by interwar designers. During the Great War, the average barrel length for a standard infantryman's bolt-action combat rifle was 75 cm. At the start of the Second World War, that length had decreased to 60 cm (with the sights adjusted downwards accordingly).Then maybe 500 meters? I think that is achievable with iron sights even with WW1 rifles.
Not even sure why thread is still going. It's all conjecture
Explain how customization would work in this, because that is a very important part of the series.
Is it? There is no weapon customisation in any of the Battlefield games up to 3 and class customisation would work very easily with all kinds of gear being available during the Great War era (all kinds of melee weapons, explosives, protective gear, etc.)
In BC2 you customize your weapons with scopes, magnum ammo and such!Is it?

There can be plenty of options for a WW1 type game as this thread has been presenting (bringing people through a nice history lesson as well), with fresh way to play, incorporating the mix of post Civil War era (as the Industrial Age picked up steam, no pun intended) to early tech advancements in weaponry/tactics. Not saying it WILL happen, but it sure as shit would be a more fresh take, than another current timeline war game. With the very same weapons, and swapped aircraft skins of something different.
Read through the thread. How would it not work with the information presented?

Is there enough for an entire class? Like Bf4 had 19 Assault rifles. You got 17 other examples.
Fuck, 1943 was the last great BF game, and the weapon balance was superb.
.....have you played BF3 and 4?
The most popular map of each game are literally all trench and chokepoint warfare.
Why is this exciting? WW1 is so completely technologically underdeveloped compared to what we're used to playing in FPS games
Like how do you even begin to imagine this being fun to play any kind of trench warfare
It was the GAF servers, actually. Seem to be getting better but they've been super unresponsive for a while.Freakin' hell, sorry mods and people. Internet went to shit there
I hope battlelog is back.
Maybe there'll be a World War 1 expansion/DLC of some sort, instead of the whole game being based in the World War 1 era? Not sure how anyone outside EA/Dice would know that already though.
I skipped Battlefield 4, so I'm keen to see where it ends up being set.
but we've now had at least 4 people supporting (of various legitimacy), and nobody against it.
any links?
More evidence: A Reddit user posted this 6 days ago:
'I have a fried who works at EA that told me it's a world war 1 theme for battlefield 5. He watched game play of it.'
https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield5/comments/3pq5ei/battlefield_5_past_present_or_future/
been under the table directionally teasing this game for like a year, i don't think anyone picked up on any of it haha
People seemed to like Wolfentenins alternative take on history
-->I cannot wait for a new Battlefield. I really, really hope it's not set in the future though.
That's the opposite of the rumor mill
So the cat is out of the bag... I understand my words has no meaning here but I would be VERY suprised if this turned out not to be true. Anyway looking forward to it!
They can create another IP to utilize the Frostbyte engine in a different way, but turning BF into something completely different wouldn't make any sense.
The possibility is so fucking exciting. I'll be there day one. Or likely 1-2 months after release so some bugs are ironed out.
3+plus the op btw. I'm gonna start with the strongest. Sounds odd, right? Random redditor may be the most conclusive evidence we have to WW1 battlefield? Well, life is stranger than fiction, or so they say.
So, who is Mouse Caulk? A younger man from Vancouver, BC. From his reddit history he doesn't appear to be an enthusiast, or play many games at all, mainly sticking with Battlefield... and NHL. He hasn't appeared to leak anything in the past, and didn't gain anything from this leak. In fact, this leak was done 8 days ago, 6 days before this retail listing. The kicker? He doesn't say his friend works at Dice, no, but at EA. Any idea where the NHL games are made? Vancouver, BC, at EA Vancouver. A stretch maybe, but idk. This is all weird.
John Harker next. Pretty straight forward. Heard the rumor months ago, and has been teasing since.
I didn't go through his posts entirely. Funny enough, I remember reading this one and it throwing off warning bells back when it happened. This was almost 3 months ago in early December.
Last is another poster implying about the rumor, posted before John too. Small one.
