Dude. The music was epic. Can't please everyone and I'm glad you can't otherwise things would lose their personality.

wow dude, when people kept saying WW games i kept imagining something boring (though the ones from back then were good but not good enough for today standards, personally speaking) but this was epic as fuck and the conquest version of this looks fucking mindblowing with the crazy stuff i love about the battlefield games (specially conquest mode)
you got my attention

Jesus, is it really that long? Honestly I just listened to them and never really tracked the time. Guess I was way off.
JackFrags played the game and has some details

in-engine.
It tries a lot of different things, and is pretty cool. The whole militarized police aspect definitely rubbed a lot of folks the wrong way, but I don't think it's meant to be taken much more seriously than a hopped up game of cops n' robbers.
I guess one issue is that there are fewer guns than there are in Battlefield 4, even after the content updates. And I don't know if the balance is as well refined.
Still pretty fun for $10.

More hyped about this CoD. Terrible fucking music...
Yeah, I'll probably get BF4. I was just curious.

I just don't see it being possible with those graphics, 64 players and with full destruction. It made since with Battlefront due the he limited amount of players and no destruction.

Seriously. At least the Medal of Honor was inspired by Saving Private Ryan and such
This, for the first big budget WW game ever?
I'm hoping the campaign is a bit more mature
Yeah, it's such a weird mismatch.

Wait this isn't alt history?
How the hell does it work then? WWI was a slow, carefully plodding war in trenches that can only be described as hellish.

I needs my gameplay, needs it!
That trailer was cool though.

Really excited for this one, refreshing after all the modern and sci-fi FPS games.

I don't like the use of the number "1" itself as opposed to "I". The name if fine I guess.
It's essentially CG made using the game's assets and cutscene tools.
Well, there's one part that's clearly gameplay, which is the gif in the OP.
What's interesting is that they never actually mention "World War I" or "The Great War" in any of the marketing materials. I guess those terms are still pretty loaded with negative connotations even 100 years later.

I still think they should have called it Battlefield: The Great War or Battlefield: The Great One.
Jackfrags vid. Saw some behind the scenes footage and can share some,
Says game uses photogrammetry like Battlefront.

Usual Dice nonsense.

Well, that did look ridiculous.
I was especially curious to see the editing, since DICE tweets about CODs.
Not going to lie, I really wanted to mock this for being roughly the same old shit, but i have to admit that was some outstanding video editing job.
And, of course the crazy graphics.
Choice of music is pretty clever. It's supposed to be jarring and make you want to pierce your ears with a screwdriver. That, it certainly does.
After the Twitter incident I really wanted to hate this, but can't.
10/10

This is actually kind of insulting to the actual brutality of WWI that it's minimizing.
Well, yes. Which is why the AAA output in the FPS genres continues to be in it's low-point in my opinion because it's all dominated by those type of themed titles.
Of course, i forgot to add how suffocatingly scripted these games usually are.

Yeah, it's kinda disturbing to see them taking one of the most tragic and darkest periods in human history and then talk about how awesome it is to gas people and stab them in the chest with a bayonet.
Getting real aggravated with companies refusing to show us regular folks gameplay then letting Joe Youtube play the game themselves. I know it's for marketing purposes but doing that AND having a 6+ hour livestream with no gameplay just rubs me the wrong way.

lol what.
Every damn time
That's a black guy.
In the trailer there's clickable youtube annotation with the text "get early access for the beta" and clicking that goes here http://x.ea.com/5040 is Battlefield insider sign up.
I actually found the music to be very fitting to the trailer.
Looks like a woman. That would be interesting.

That trailer made me less hyped even though I was stoked for WWI. Just fucking bizarre.
That scene at least has pop-in and LOD assets.

Fantastic trailer. Even the music choice, since it sells the down-washed hollywood idea of WW1. But I'm there day 0, for the glory of the German Empire.
