[Gemüsepizza]

Still doesn't confirm alternate history imo.

 

[Ibuki]

Here is a proper capture I just did

Awesome, now replace that crap in the OP with this!

 

[Tambini]

Ah yes, classic WW1 imagery

 

[zoukka]

Lame gun era

Eh the guns were bigger and more badass than what we have today.

 

[Mass One]

Bruh... why would a grenade have a wrist lanyard?

Yeah, a quick google search tells me trench maces were a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trench_raiding_club

 

[Erasus]

Isn't WW1 just a bunch of boring trench warfare ?

No. A lot was though

And since when have BF been a realistic shooter? They can take the general asthetic of WWI and turn it int a game. Its friggin DICE!

This looks awesome! Would have been disappointing if it was another BF3/4

 

[Kysen]

I need to go read a history book, were helicopters around back then? Wondering how limited this game is going to be.

 

[MadSol]

Going for raincoat over a cape though, WWI wet nasty trench warfare.

 

[Jawmuncher]

This is gonna be Hollywood WW1

 

[thenexus6]

Battlefield: Vampire Hunter

 

[mikefrails]

Here is a proper capture I just did

What am I looking at? I mean I recognize the gun but...

 

[RowdyReverb]

Here is a proper capture I just did

Can somebody make this photo sepia or black and white? I just can't see the WW1

 

[julrik]

look at the gun dude

Yeah, but the cape?

 

[maquiladora]

Oh, so it's cyber punk WW1.

Wheres the cyberpunk?

 

[GasProblem]

WW1 here we go. Cool.

 

[Yonafunu]

When's this reveal supposed to happen?

 

[Alienous]

See that thing in his hand?

That is called a trench club

It was used in

WW1

Trench warfare here we come.

How exciting(!)

 

[Mechanized]

Cape? What if they do some kinda alternate past shit? That would be cool.

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

Dr Strange in WW2? fucking bring it.

 

[Complicated]

Isn't WW1 just a bunch of boring trench warfare ?

It's really not only that. Not to mention Battlefield has never been realistic in multiplayer. They can do whatever they want, and I don't think anyone would miss another typical Battlefield campaign if they decided to do a more conceptual story mode with historical events that are more about experience and atmosphere than gameplay and mechanics.

 

[Theorry]

 

[MMaRsu]

Sweet like I said in another thread cant wait for this one

 

[Heroman]

look at the gun dude

The gun look like Mauser M712 which wasnt around ww1

 

[RoKKeR]

Glad the leaks came in before I went in. Hyped!! Can't believe they are actually doing it. Will wake up tomorrow and catch all of the news.

 

[Tecnniqe]

See that thing in his hand?

That is called a trench club

It was used in

WW1

Lame

Ruined


Spike grenade sounds much more fun

 

[Xamtheking]

Yeah, but the cape?

the nazis are vampires now
I dunno

 

[EL CUCO]

Here is a proper capture I just did

Battlefield going after Destiny, confirmed.

 

[JetSetRadio]

With a twist.

 

[DOWN]

I don't know why people don't love EA more because it's rad as hell they are the ones getting out of the AAA modern shooters finally

 

[StriKeVillain]

Cape? What if they do some kinda alternate past shit? That would be cool.

That's obviously what they are doing.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Look at the character, look at the weapons, look at the clothing...

Dont forget the flying boat in the background

 

[RoboPlato]

That art looks so cool.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

So you can swing it and release it and it goes flying in whichever direction you released it.

Bruh

No way bruh... i just did some research and the original stick grenades' pull cord starters used to hang out before they later capped them with a revision. Guess it's likely just a pull cord igniter.


Edit: Bam... stuffed above. Is club.

 

[Elios83]

Lol are you so sure that it's WW1?

Because that is not how people were dressed back then, certainly not on the battlefield

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Oh, so it's cyber punk WW1.

cyberpunk does not mean what you think it means.

 

[Brazil]

This is gonna be Hollywood WW1

Good.

No one wants to play a game about the flu and poison killing people inside holes.

 

[Drencrom]

That dude looks stlyish, but in a good way.

Can anyone identify the rifle he's got holstered on his side?

 

[Don Lapre]

This is gonna be Hollywood WW1

The best kind

 

[JTripper]

Will be severely disappointed if it's "alt history" but hey it could be really fun looking. We'll see.

 

[Oogedei]

I was hyped. I was hyped.

 

[Alienous]

Still doesn't confirm alternate history imo.

Well, the alternate history rumour came attached to the WWI rumour, so it's quite likely.

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

Women and minorities are extremely underrepresented in that .gif.


Separately, did they fix the BF4 campaign save bug on the PS4 yet? If not, then screw them. If so, should I even give them another chance? Maybe I should log into BF4 for a match or two and check it out myself this weekend. I did like that game when it worked.

 

[Tacklemacain]

Lame

Ruined


Spike grenade sounds much more fun

Why not both?

 

[maxmars]

Reminds me of 50s scifi, a la Flash Gordon..

 

[outunderthestars]

I see a gas mask as well. Maybe chemical weapons?

 

[Azriell]

This is either WW1 or a massive trolling of the entire internet.

 

[Miasma]

That Luger!

That looks more like a broom handle Mauser to me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauser_C96

 

[wonderfuldays]

WWI with Alien invasion? (no)

You heard from me first

 

[DOWN]

Wait how is it a leak? That looks like official promo for the event coming today?

 

[julrik]

I was hyped. I was hyped.

Yup...
