These DICE guys are the most unprofessional bunch of fucking idiots I have seen. First publicly calling out CoD devs amateurs and incompetent and then accusing Microsoft of being MoneySoft.
Grow up.

Hopefully being WW1 means they'll cut down on unlocks and get rid of weapon attachments and vehicle upgrades.
At least they fuck up with their own IP also. They'll mess up third party reveals and their own.

This is what happens when you have announcements for announcements. No sympathy for DICE here.

To be fair, we have no way of telling if that image is real or not. I checked a few seconds after that post appeared here and the tweet was nowhere to be seen.
For that reason, my pre-order is safe for now.
Edit: nevermind it looks real.

In my school, WWI wasn't covered nearly as exhaustively as WWII, so we were just taught about trench warfare as far as WWI combat went. US school btw.

Actually, whats funnier is that EA/Dice gave that artwork to Microsoft and also asked them to advertise their reveal.
So it was probably never an error in the first place. Its probably exactly what EA/Dice asked for.
different people and one case was DICE and this is EA. So everybody's capable of such shit.

It's good that you take the high road and don't belittle an entire company because of the actions of a few.
oh wait

This looks like it could be good. I haven't played any Battlefield since 3, but if the art is handled well I could see myself playing this. It'll probably be much faster-paced than Red Orchestra/Rising Storm, though, with tons of semi-auto and fully-auto weapons instead of bolt actions, which is a potential turn-off for me.
If we get a full-out WW1 shooter that plays very quickly, I probably won't buy it and stick to Rising Storm 2/whatever tactical shooter I'm playing at the time.
On the other hand, if it's alternate history and the setting justifies the fast gameplay, I think I'd bite.
I haven't played it yet, but Verdun on PC is a WW1 shooter.

The guy works at EA, not DICE specifically

I'm not sure what I think of that image.
They could really nail it or just flub it. I see no in-between.

A good WWI campaign would have to involve observing how many of you comerades die. And how few is left alive. Just like in the book.
So in a market over saturated with modern military shooters with its aim set on futuristic military shooters, going back to the past wouldn't be something fresh?
You make it sound like there's a plethora of recent AAA WW2/WW1 shooters.

This is so good, we need more creative settings in games.
Maybe not, but I've never seen a guy with a cape going at it on the battlefields during WW1. He doesn't even wear a helmet. Oh well, I guess we'll see, but I have a bad feeling about this. Hope I'm wrong, though.

It's obviously WW1 IMO. Alternate or no, hard to say. But gameplay-wise, alternate makes a lot of sense. But him standing there with a Not-Mauser and trench club doesn't scream alternate, those are very timely and limited weapons (but I'm sure we'll have OHKO melees regardless).
Some really ignorant motherfuckers up in this thread.
Some of you really need to look into the eastern front and ottoman front of WW1.
Not to mention they could have early western front battles in Belgium, or do set piece maps of stuff like the Marne, Verdun, etc.
The war was not a bunch of soldiers sitting in a trench for 4 years sipping tea.

At least you can talk. Who are you?

Hardly a leak when it's a tiny picture promoting your event. Not like they've sent out a PR early.
Looks awesome, can't wait for the reveal.Here is a proper capture I just did

What the hell is this. The only WW1 thing about that is the luger.
Exactly. As if the World War would have only taken place in the treches of Western Europe.
I never understood why people get so offended by it.
They always do.
Let's be real, despite being really unprofessional with those tweets--they were right.
They leaked a picture with way too much info revealing stuff about the game, stuff that was previously a secret. How the fuck is that not a leak?
Oke cool. If you are intrested there is a great YT channel explaining the whole war. Easy to understand and some nice animations.

That dude looks stlyish, but in a good way.
What a predicament. That visual identity they've established with the blues and reds and sparks and smoke. It's so very "modern" and doesn't go with oldey times at all, but they have to keep doing it, cause that's the brand.
Wonder what role zeppelins will play, the B17 role, or more like carriers.

And somehow the story will focus on Americans despite the fact they barely had anything to do with WWI for the most part.
