[Shadax the wizard]

This will be my first jump into multiplayer military games since MoH: AA and CoD MW. This is what I've been waiting for!

 

[Morning Star]

Also this light machine gun: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauchat

Hope there be accurate jamming in that case.

 

[Netherscourge]

The Battleship stuff will probably be like usual - you sit in a turret shooting cannons or an AA gun while the ship auto-circles an island.

 

[Skux]

Awesome! So straight WW1, no alternate bullshit, yes?

Once people find out just how crazy and varied WWI was, they won't need to ask for an alternate universe setting.

We have armoured knights with flamethrowers fighting against sword-wielding cavalry while zeppelins float in the sky above dogfighting biplanes. It's a steampunk wet dream.

 

[Surfinn]

As someone who's played a shitton of modern shooters, I don't understand how you cannot be excited for this change. Setting, weaponry, vehicles, actual colors being used..

Now we just need great gameplay to go with it all.

 

[PKMNTrainer]

Really thirsty for gameplay. Will most likely be there day -3. I wonder how far the destruction will really go in this entry.

 

[Kaversmed]

JESUS that thing is huge.

 

[Kinyou]

Bad music choice, but the game itself looks pretty amazing. Will still have to see more to see how much has really changed compared to the other BFs.

Every damn time

It's almost like the protagonist is a soldier

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Looks great but these trailers always do. I will keep my expectations a little lower at the moment though, because we've seen these vertical slices before and downgrades can sometimes follow.

High end PC version will probably look similar but will wait to see more actually gameplay first.

Hope they can finally nail a decent campaign with this game, I'm sure multiplayer will be great as usual. I like the setting though, it looks very interesting. Definitely looking forward to this.

 

[GTSweet]

How early is the ea access trial thing usually? I had a subscription for battlefront, but cant for the life of me remember how early it was.

It has typically been up to 5 days early and 10 total hours of play time.

 

[Granadier]

I think people were more peeved by the needless cover. The original track would have been better received

Seven Nation Army would have fit a less "explosion" trailer more, yes. This cover fit the trailer far better though.
Also Glitch Mob is most definitely not dubstep.

 

[G_Berry]

WW1 was fucking insane:

"While overseas the Hellfighters saw propaganda intended for them. It claimed that the Germans had done nothing wrong to blacks, and that they should instead be fighting against the Americans who had oppressed them for years. These statements only made the Hellfighters even more devoted to the U.S."

 

[jim2point0]

Eh looks a little uninspired tbh. I wish they pushed the envelope compared to COD.

Joke post?

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Never played a battlefield game but this might be my first due to the setting and a focus on the harlem hellfighters.

 

[designgears]

Incredible. I'm sold.

Sucks some of the stuff being tied to Xbox Exclusive shit. Wasn't Battlefront the worst on that console?

It's Xbox One and PC.

[mcz117chief]

why did they have to have the farting music again

 

[PeskyToaster]

I knew they didn't need to go alternative WWI, just use creative license. It was a weird time.

 

[bombshell]

That guy was hilariously evasive regarding horses, considering they were very heavily featured in both the trailer and the screens. Not sure what was up with that.

Evasive? He said he could neither confirm or deny they will be playable while furiously nodding his head. He confirmed it.

 

[Surfinn]

Looks great but these trailers always do. I will keep my expectations a little lower at the moment though, because we've seen these vertical slices before and downgrades can sometimes follow.

Seeing what happened with Battlefront 3, I think it's pretty safe to assume there will be no downgrade.

 

[Doctre81]

 

[Matticers]

Looks pretty amazing. I've been wanting something in this style/setting after the modern/future warfare overload.

 

[Painkiller Q8]

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

Will have to try the beta first.

Just not really into this WW1 setting.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

I wasn't convinced about the WWI rumors at all, but the trailer was pretty legit. Color me excited now.

 

[coolbrys]

Wow. Just wow. I love it. I've been playing BF since the Secret Weapon days, and am very interested in this game. It seems incredible to me, and is exactly what I've been wanting after being completely burnt out on modern/near future shooters. I even like the name! Cannot wait for more screens, videos, and info.

Absolutely day -3 here. I'll be live on October 18th, playing on the PC.

 

[Norwegian_Imposter]

When will the psn preorder go up?

 

[Venom Fox]

That guy was hilariously evasive regarding horses, considering they were very heavily featured in both the trailer and the screens. Not sure what was up with that.

Re watch it the second time it's asked if Horses are controllable/fight able. He states that it's a vehicle and that they have a purpose.

Wonder wether they'll have suicide horses? Horses strapped full of grenades and sent at enemy teams.

 

[jwhit28]

Could battlefield possibly beat CoD?

 

[Smokey]

DAY -3

Hyped affff

 

[Zukkoyaki]

I'm not really into multiplayer but this game has my full attention. Looks absolutely phenomenal! DICE has to be one of the more underappreciated developers in the industry. The scale, visuals, and all around presentation they pull off no matter the hardware they're working on is always impressive. Their multiplayer components are always a blast as well (BF3 was the last online mode I put meaningful time into). AND they pump games out at a solid clip.

 

[squidyj]

Looks cool, but I'm a bit disappointed in a way that we don't get a real WWI setting. I was looking forward to that.

....so you want a game where you spend most of the time trying not to get trench foot and then you die in a gas attack?

 

[deadlast]

JESUS that thing is huge.

Yeah... I forgot how big flip phones were.

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

Every damn time

One, the game is set in an actual, real life war, so stuff like "Military rank" and "Lots of guns" are not cliches... It's just what the game is about.

Two, the guy is not even white!

 

[shinobi602]

The visuals in the trailer honestly makes me more hype for what Mass Effect Andromeda will look like.

Oh yes. Believe me.

 

[Dictator93]

henna tattoo

 

[hydruxo]

I enjoyed the cover. It fit well

¯_(&#12484_/¯

Yeah I thought it fit pretty well too

 

[I am Error]

Yes, WW1 setting! I'm really interested to see how the campaign will look like.

Also no words on the (inevitable) Premium Edition to get all the "optional" DLC?

Spoiler

Thank god.

 

[xVodevil]

Definitely interesting... but simply just dunno yet. I need more, than this trailer.

 

[HMD]

Youtube Dubbed it.

Way fucking better if you ask me.

That matched the trailer a bit too well lol.

 

[brawly]

Let them dream I say.

 

[The Lone Courier]

I thought we were gonna get some Prince of Persia type game when I saw that.

 

[Granadier]

Eh looks a little uninspired tbh. I wish they pushed the envelope compared to COD.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

I've got some heavy Rambo 3 flashbacks with all those horses vs tanks stuff. Looks great.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Really cool the game isn't just euro-centric

 

[thejpfin]

Day zero! Amazing trailer, wub wub part in the music didn't really fit well with the trailer footage. Still, nice work Dice.

 

[designgears]

Every damn time

There it is, the racist guy jumping in to call the game racist and didn't realize the guy isn't white. RIP.

 

[TheSeks]

If you actually end up not buying this game I will eat my hat.

I haven't bought Hardflop yet.

Spoiler

Because it isn't DICE made

Dude, you've been bitching about DICE and BF games for years now.
You're gonna buy and youre gonna love it!! XD

The beta is what is gonna have to convince me. If it's nothing but Conquest, I'm gonna be super leery. Surely DICE knows there's folks out there that want something other than Conquest 24/7 and will have those modes in for them to see.

 

[Boke1879]

Could battlefield possibly beat CoD?

It'll sell well, but I doubt it. COD is too ingrained with a certain demographic. They'll buy COD simply because their friends buy it

 

[wwm0nkey]

Let them dream I say.

They didn't day which Xbox One

 

[John Kowalski]
