"Get The ____ Pack!"
Oh boy, paid DLC again! Time for my fourth Premium membership!

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Who are these four fine-looking gentlemen?

Soldiers from WW1 I believe.

 

[CyberPunked]

It look like this dude.

No it doesn't.

 

[ezekial45]

When is the official reveal happening?

1PM PST on livestream

 

[GazzaGSi]

When is the official reveal happening?

In just over 4 hours

 

[AppleSautts]

So...are they going to call the game after this one Battlefield 2? Again?

 

[Wulfram]

Pleasantly surprised there's a person of color on the cover. I thought they'd just save that for spin-offs.

But it doesn't fit with the strict historical accuracy that otherwise characterises this picture.

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

Looks like they are again splitting up the community with DLC maps.

At least in this game, there's a server browser and you can play whatever you want, unlike in COD where if you only have DLC 1, then you can only play with DLC 1 people and so forth.

 

[potatohead]

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.

That's definitely unprofessional.

But to be fair Microsoft is not being very professional in leaking their announcement either.

Both should work a bit harder here.... I could see DICE needing a social media "talk" lol.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I wonder if this game will be gorier due to the setting, especially with stuff like the spiked club.

I'd love to see something that wasn't particularly any more gory than what Battlefield's been doing (there's a thin line between realism and glorification in videogames) but way more grimy, muddy, dirty, desperate feeling warzones. Something that really goes for intensity and physicality rather than just "cool" Battlefield moments.

 

[Evil Beaver]

Lol, I'm one of those crazy people that enjoys the Battlefield campaigns. I'm so sorry

There's nothing wrong with it. There are dozens of us...DOZENS!

 

[JetBlackPanda]

So...are they going to call the game after this one Battlefield 2? Again?

No there already is a game titled Battlefield 2.

 

[Mondrian]

Some text about some sort of Content pack, "inspired by the something infantry regiment"

I wonder if it could really be something like the Harlem Hellfighters

I can see that, cool "gamey" name, and they have a cool insignia.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Hopefully they'll talk about multiplayer today.

 

[Daffy Duck]

and here we go with expansion packs already

Starter pack, probably for pre-orders, IIRC BF4 did that too.

 

[draughn101]

I think it looks weird, the internet will not melt. Sorry DICE

One marketing picture?

Now with the big picture can we all agree that the guy is black. Which is cool given the timeline.

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

 

[RoboPlato]

We call it a trench club, chap.

American public school system has failed me again.

I'd love to see something that wasn't particularly any more gory than what Battlefield's been doing (there's a thin line between realism and glorification in videogames) but way more grimy, muddy, dirty, desperate feeling warzones.

Yeah, me too. Thinking about it, gibbing and dismemberment wouldn't really work in BF MP anyway with how reviving works.

EDIT: I see someone else mentioned that too.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

In just over 4 hours

The wait is too long!!!!!!!

 

[AaronMT86]

Looks like it says starter pack, let the fragmentation begin

 

[Hanmik]

Lol, I'm one of those crazy people that enjoys the Battlefield campaigns. I'm so sorry

that is not crazy.. I enjoy campaigns.. but they are not that "deep".

 

[ElzarTheBam]

The wait is too long!!!!!!!

ENTERTAIN ME

YES YOU

 

[Toa TAK]

Woah playing as a black dude now? That's pretty neat.

 

[Leafhopper]

So...are they going to call the game after this one Battlefield 2? Again?

There is already a Battlefield 2.

Which makes this title all the hell more crazy.

 

[xJavonta]

I'm cautiously optimistic because every battlefield since 3 has been trash. But this setting is interesting. Don't fuck it up DICE.

 

[Alienous]

No there already is a game titled Battlefield 2.

That didn't occur to me.

That's interesting.

 

[reSpec Gaming]

I LITERALLY was joking "What if they called it Battlefield One?"

 

[Dunkley]

Let's see if I was right, I mean I didn't really believe they'd really go for a WW1 aesthetic but now I'm curious.

Yo I would love a WW1 setting but given BF's gameplay I do figure it all would be artistic license as far as the historical accuracy is concerned.

No way they'd make a trench warfare game as much as a game that has WW1 weapon/soldier/tank designs with severely unrealistic reload times and weapon capabilities.

 

[the_topher]

That doesn't look like WW1

By itself, not particularly. But earlier leaks have reported that the setting is WWI, so this does seem to corroborate that

 

[Storm Raider]

Hopefully they'll talk about multiplayer today.

It would be foolish not too IMO.

 

[Cabbagehead]

But it doesn't fit with the strict historical accuracy that otherwise characterises this picture.

Does it really?

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

 

[AusRoachman]

Why not just call it battlefield 1914 assuming that's the year the game is set . Worked ok for battlefield 1942 and battlefield 2142

 

[AHA-Lambda]

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.

Oh god :/

Did this tweet get deleted too?

 

[Its Quite Toasty]

It would be foolish not too IMO.

But that deep and engrossing story.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

It would be foolish not too IMO.

I dunno e3 isnt very far away

 

[Tacklemacain]

At least in this game, there's a server browser and you can play whatever you want, unlike in COD where if you only have DLC 1, then you can only play with DLC 1 people and so forth.

I think the server browser is realy bad for the DLC. In the past most servers stop playing most of the DLC maps/modes and go back to the old stuff. I think the DLC maps are always great, but only a few server play them and only selcted maps in TDM.

 

[alr1ght]

Battlefield 1

lol

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

There is already a Battlefield 2.

BF4 is NOT trash

 

[Iztok Mravlja]

Yeah, that's a shame. I get it - that's what it takes to make money on games these days, but it still sucks when you end up with 2 vanilla maps rotating on servers after a couple of years - simply because that's what everyone 100% has.

I'm really excited about it being WWI, I'm really into that period and really, really hope they explore more battles than what's usually associated with that war.

 

[Get_craycray]

The game is called Battlefield 1 instead of Battlefield 5 because

[strafer]

I feel bad for them now with the leak

 

[Evilkazzz]

The cape is really throwing me off?

Why the hell does he have a cape?

 

[Raide]

BC2! Best BF game coming up!

 

[RecRoulette]

Battlefield 1 is an amazing name considering Battlefield 2 took place in World War II, oh wait...

 

[AppleSautts]

There is already a Battlefield 2.

Which makes this title all the hell more crazy.

Yeah, which is why I'm confused

 

[Sum-Mischief]

I thought I seen that bomb in the movie Fifth Element ....

 

[mjc]

That's definitely unprofessional.

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.

I don't know (to both questions).
