That's a Henna tattoo, but we never had Henna designs on the face, not on males.

Isn't that a woman?

 

[G_Berry]

Amazing. WW1 is essentially the launching point for modern warfare, as well as the end of traditional warfare. Such a varied and intriguing war.


Shameless plug for Dan Carlin's coverage of WW1 in his Hardcore History Podcast (it's something like 10 hours long).

I recommend everyone listen to that. It's fantastic.

 

[LordBaztion]

someone wants to go full digital but developers keep making great boxarts

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

WW1 wow I wasn't expecting that.

 

[J-Rzez]

Can't wait to see the PC footage. WW1, sold.

I guess the music at the end is where the BF theme is going?

 

[The Lone Courier]

That's a Henna tattoo, but we never had Henna designs on the face, not on males.

I thought that was a chick.

 

[John Kowalski]

What's his problem? That it isn't pretentious enough?

looks boring, i think the same too

 

[Scotia]

This isn't even a question
BF4

Cool, thanks.

Just for curiosity sake, what's up with Hardline?

 

[More_Badass]

No. BF1 and CoD:IW will sale 15M+ each. Everybody is happy because that means they can go back to past real wars and not suffer in sales. Which means less works because they don't need to come up with any weapons, enemies or locations. I'm not sure who you think is still making FPS games that will suddenly shift to be past wars themed.

The problem with AAA FPS games will remain them being mostly military focused which means yet again zero creativity with the arsenal, how weapons behave, unique gunplay mechanics, secondary fires etc. And yet again zero creativity with enemy types and variety - everybody is a human with the same boring weapons and maybe a helicopter.

To be fair, the goldmine with past wars are the many untold stories to tell and the unique fronts. Not the "enemy types"

 

[Nowise10]

If you guys had to reccomend one game, which one, Hardline or BF4?

I'm open to either.

Battlefield 4 is the more "all out war" type of experience. Hardline isn't terrible, but I would go with BF4. Much more content, too.

 

[gogogow]

It says "open beta" in the thread title, but no open beta info in OP..... :/

 

[a916]

BF4 and it's not even close.

 

[UnforgivenTwin]

The music was terrible. Other than that though,I'm really excited.

 

[El_Chino]

Any word on Battlefield premium?

 

[Inuhanyou]

Did Dice said anything about the console's frame rate?

Since it wont be 1080p on consoles according to DICE, its going to be aiming at 60 most likely

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Reserving judgement for actual gameplay, that reveal was verrrrrry meh for me. I love BF so I'll probably get it anyway though.

 

[Psychoward]

BF4

 

[Evil Beaver]

Knights?

DICE borrowed CoD's Juggernaut

 

[RedAssedApe]

didn't live up to that tweet insult hype but it wasn't bad.

 

[Skux]

Why do people hate the name. It's World War 1, hence Battlefield 1. Are people not getting this?

 

[Tovarisc]

BF4, hands down superior choice.

 

[vvise]

excellent trailer, im excited

 

[Nudull]

Harlem Hellfighters DLC is very nice. Was a little afraid this would be a whitewashed version of WW1.

 

[New002]

I recommend everyone listen to that. It's fantastic.

I've listened to a good chunk of it so far but that was a while ago. I should finish it up. His series on the Mongols was fascinating.

 

[Brian_FETO]

This is so hype. If they deliver on the destruction (and it isn't just dumb canned BS) I'll be there day zero.

I really liked the remix of Seven Nation Army as well. Then again anything will sound good after that COD trailer....

 

[More_Badass]

Ha, 10?

More like 20+

And every one is enthralling and fascinating

 

[VariantX]

So they have three cosmetic/gear packs listed, and one of them lists that it comes with early access to a map.

I think they're not selling map packs?

Hope not, I kind of got burned with the dlc because the majority of BF players didn't buy premium, so I had less opportunities to play maps outside of the base package. I would assume they'll have something to sell like weaponry and cosmetic items in exchange.

Good if true, community will no longer be split like before

 

[xVodevil]

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.

They must change that Premium model.... should... but honestly I don't think they will...
Sooner or later they'll drop the news, and thus the community shall split once again.

 

[james_b0ndjr]

Dude. Some people are just so dead inside that nothing makes them happy.

 

[etta]

Will probably be 1080p on the PS4 Neo and new Xbox if it exists.

 

[BeforeU]

Hollyfucking shit. Dat trailer.

Brilliant.

 

[failgubbe]

Inb4 720/900p and Dice complains about COD's "2010" graphics

 

[Portugeezer]

Any HQ trailer?

 

[HMD]

Isn't that a woman?

I thought that was a chick.

Yeah looks like it, she might be hiding her identity under the shemagh (a male headdress)

 

[Alienous]

You can see debris from the left-side of the crumbling structure 20 seconds into the trailer disappear.

Pre-order cancelled.

 

[FLUXCapacitor]

Let be one of the few to say I liked the music...so haters gonna hate. But regardless, game looks awesome.

 

[Evil Beaver]

Hollyfucking shit. Dat trailer.

Brilliant.

They needed a whole lot more than a few seconds of gameplay

 

[majik13]

Earth-shattering Intuitive Destruction - With intuitive destruction no battle is ever the same. Destroy vehicles big and small, and demolish entire buildings. From tiny wooden houses to massive stone forts, even the grounds on which you're fighting can be blasted apart.
- War Stories from the Far Edges of the World - Discover a world at war through an adventure-filled campaign that captures the variety of a global conflict through the eyes of several different characters all united by this first modern war.

So does this mean everything is destructible, or just more marketing buzzwords? I mean this description could be used for just about any BF that's had destruction...

Any more details on this?

 

[dealer-]

Why do people hate the name. It's World War 1, hence Battlefield 1. Are people not getting this?

Yeah, there's never been a Battlefield 1 either. It works on a few levels.

 

[Boke1879]

will it have a better campaign that the last one? If so i'll try it out

at this point that's the only concern. The BF campaigns have been less than forgettable, but lets be real we're buying this for the MP.

 

[Deadbeat]

WW1 was one of the last major conflicts where medieval armors [more comonly only chest pieces] were used as protection.

The germans used the armor a lot for their mg nests. But of course we got a dude on foot wearing armor and charging like a juggernaut.

 

[Nirolak]

That's a Henna tattoo, but we never had Henna designs on the face, not on males.

I just assumed that was a woman given the cheekbones.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Lawd hauh mercy. Looks amazing.

 

[Dex815]

Looks like Gemma Whelan or is it just me?

 

[DavidDesu]

Thank god we're getting a World War 1 one, finally. I might actually get this. I find modern warfare games really tedious. They all look the same as well. A Battlefield game set in WW1 is sure to look and sound absolutely phenomenal. I'm in. Maybe. Burnt by Battlefront (Beta was great fun, main game felt massively unbalanced with stupid weapons that should never have been in there like Homing Shot).

Surely the setting means we won't have any daft homing missiles, and keep it at the basics. That's where I find these games most fun, a simple set of weapons and that's you.

 

[J-Rzez]

Cool, thanks.

Just for curiosity sake, what's up with Hardline?

It's just wrong... it's wrong! /cartman voice

Too much to cover to be honest. But just take people's advice. BF4 is the real deal, and still the best shooter this gen to date with TitanFall up there too. But BF4 has a ton of content and support.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

The tone of that trailer, the music rendition and the setting oh how I view WW1 are on polar opposites. Like WW2 is a setting that usually has an air of respect levied to it. Maybe they were just following hollywoods queue there. But to go all out "war f-yea!" For WW1 is bizarre to me.

It doesn't bother me in a COD or a fake conflict. But when you do this for a real event it bugs me

 

[RedAssedApe]

Why do people hate the name. It's World War 1, hence Battlefield 1. Are people not getting this?

still doesn't make it a good name

 

[k4n3]

Bad music choice (should have used an acoustic song or something) but the game looks awesome. Can't wait to see gameplay.

Someone tweet DICE to use more fitting music for their next trailers, please.

I don't think they could have picked worse music for that trailer if they tried.

white stripes bad music? god you people have horrible taste in music

 

[darkwing-buck]

Yeah BC2 style destruction is back
