Why the hell does he have a cape?

Capes are in man, haven't you played Destiny?

Why the hell does he have a cape?

Some are saying it's like a trenchcoat, but if so, why is it like off his entire body? Is he in a wind tunnel?

guys the idea of dog fights in Sopwith Camels and Fokkers is making me excited.

 

[ktroopa]

One marketing picture?



Yea it'll be interesting to see how they tell his story.

Sofar yes, will decide after the trailer

 

[Evil Beaver]

I feel bad for them now with the leak

Right? They came oh SO close to it being a total surprise at their reveal later today. You just can't stop the leaks these days.

 

[Tacklemacain]

BF4 is NOT trash

Well if you like to play Rush it is.

 

[Vuze]

Alternate history WWI sounds interesting, but the name is silly af.

 

[skynidas]

Battlefield 1, out November 18th.

Pre order for an add on inspired on an infantry regiment.

 

[Don Lapre]

Its not like they dont have a history of moving shit around. Battlefield 1942, 2142, 1943, 4, 3.

Maybe this takes place in year 1 and you are jesus

 

[AHA-Lambda]

The game is called Battlefield 1 instead of Battlefield 5 because

Spoiler

¯_(&#12484_/¯

Getting their naming convention from MS it seems like W10

AKA who the fuck knows

More than anything now I wanna know why it's called that O_O

 

[Green Yoshi]

Battefield 1.

"Battlefield One" looks better.

Any information about the campaign?

 

[Liamc723]

 

[Alias03]

What...because someone you never heard of who is maybe an employee of EA mocked a giant corporation's mistake by using the clichéd $ instead of an S in a deleted tweet... you are going to cancel a pre-order? Is this real life.

I was thinking the exact same thing, super petty and made me shake my head

 

[U2NUMB]

I hope they deliver on the graphics. They were shit talking IW so they better bring it.

The last thing I am worried about is the visuals in this game..

 

[StriKeVillain]

BF4 is NOT trash

Fun fact for staying sane on GAF.

You favorite games - whatever they may be - suck. The developers deserve to be tarred, feathered and publicly humiliated for putting out such a putrid product.

Enjoy.

 

[potatohead]

One was a mistake, being put up on the store too early. The other is someone being childish in public. He could have reacted with different wording.

Making mistakes that announce your partner products without their consent is unprofessional as well.

It really doesn't matter that they did it "by accident" on their store. It's their job to control that.

If we're not gonna sugarcoat DICE's social media accounts (which we shouldn't), there's no reason to sugar what MS did either.

I wanna see the receipts

 

[dr_rus]

Okay. So this I there is like the I in WWI, amiright?

 

[AusRoachman]

Why the hell does he have a cape?

Huh.. Cape.. What is a man with a cape doing with my father?.. What was my father doing with a man in a cape? ..

 

[AmyS]

Time to break out the mustard gas ?

 

[packy34]

Alternate history WWI sounds interesting, but the name is silly af.

Nothing about the art is alternate. We won't know if it's alternate until we see the trailer.

 

[Evilkazzz]

How do I still not know how to comment.

EDIT.

 

[Wulfram]

Does it really?

How much do you know about the official make up of WW armies. Let alone alternative history ones.

That was a joke

 

[lie07]

The cape is really throwing me off?

Why the hell does he have a cape?

Cape is a ground sheet cape. They were standard kit in WWI.

 

[Nokterian]

Well if you like to play Rush it is.

I prefer Rush in BFBC2.

 

[backflip10019]

Battlefield 1?

What?

 

[OdysseusVA]

BF4 is NOT trash

It's a dumpster fire

 

[JigglesBunny]

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.

Holy shit, these guys need to shut their damn mouths.
Relationships with companies have gone south over less before.

Besides, it isn't like we didn't know it was WW1 already.

 

[DagnastyEp]

Well, seeing as Xbox has likely grabbed marketing rights for this, we can start to guess the marketing partnerships of the next few games (not that it really matters).

Future likely/confirmed:
Mirrors Edge - Xbox
Battlefield 5 - Xbox

Future speculation:
Titanfall 2 - Xbox
Mass Effect: Andromeda - Xbox
Star Wars (Amy Hennig) - Playstation
Star Wars (Respawn) - Playstation

I'm guessing Sony will keep their lock on Star Wars. Titanfall 2 with Xbox makes sense since the first was exclusive. And for ME:A, every console Bioware game so far has been with Xbox so I could see that trend continuing.

 

[Se_7_eN]

Can everyone stop calling the EA marketing employee a DICE employee?

That key art has me excited...

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Cape is a ground sheet cape. They were standard kit in WWI.

Yes

Ground sheets were used also in WW2

 

[CyberPunked]

The weird thing is, is that they've already started to market it as Battlefield 5.

 

[Galava]

Battlefield 1

1

Wait what

 

[Drencrom]

A WWI SP campaign has the potential to be really cool and interesting I must say. Imagine a chapter when you're in a Christmas truce with your enemies and play football.

 

[U2NUMB]

OK just release the trailer now... or else WE WILL FIND IT

 

[jim2point0]

LOL you get banned on GAF for this. Professional Developer everyone.

Not a developer....

We're going back to WWI and they couldn't get rid of the tired orange/blue? Looks silly.

 

[Vuze]

Nothing about the art is alternate. We won't know if it's alternate until we see the trailer.

Ah, my bad. Just read "alternate history WWI" and liked the idea; totally didn't pay attention to the rumor-from-reddit part. Ah well.

 

[Hanmik]

so is this game going to be beta tested in the future?

 

[packy34]

The weird thing is, is that they've already started to market it as Battlefield 5.

No they haven't. The official BF channels have never referred to it as BF5.

Ah, my bad. Just read "alternate history WWI" and liked the idea; totally didn't pay attention to the rumor-from-reddit part. Ah well.

It's still a strong rumor but we can't confirm it based on the art is all.

 

[Hoo-doo]

WW1 sounds like the dullest setting imaginable. I hope it's something different.

Let's hope the cape signifies superhero battlefield or something. As stupid as that sounds, i'd prefer it over trench warfare and mustard gas.

 

[HvySky]

Battlefield 1?

What?

World War 1. I thought it was weird at first, but then I realized there never was just a Battlefield (akin to Xbox One being weird considering there already was an Xbox 1). 1942 was the first game in the series, so I can see this making sense considering the era.

 

[draughn101]

Okay. So this I there is like the I in WWI, amiright?

I wonder why they didn't go with the roman numeral? That would've made sense.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Anyone discussed the race of the fellow on the pic? Gotta be alternate timeline right? In WWI most african-american troops were put on labor battalions.

(can't find my glasses, eyesight is shit, so I'm sorry if I'm mistaken about his race)

i mentioned it, not sure if anyone else did.

 

[LiK]

so is this game going to be beta tested in the future?

They better

Not sugar coating, both are unfortunate. One was intentional, the other wasn't.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Come on guys one was an unprofessional mistake

The other is not only unprofessional but discourteous and the guy should easily know better, whereas the other was simply someone flipped a switch too early
