Dub step seven Nation Army... Fucking really?

That horrible dubstep song nobody likes...

Spoiler

/s

FYI..It's not even dubstep...

 

[Rösti]

If this is anywhere near gameplay, we're in for a treat.

Might make the more realistically-styled violence a bit grim, though.

This looks quite impressive, but there's also what appears to be some LOD popping going on in the forest background. I might be mistaken though, and of course this is not a final build.

I hope the game looks like this most of the time, and by that I mean with as little HUD as possible. It's WWI so I want the battlefield to feel low-tech. No radar, no overlays, no laser sights and no crazy targeting reticles.

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

Why not just call it Battlefield?
Battlefield 1 seems dumb.

 

[CitizenVectron]

So this is set in actual WW1 and not an alternative-history 1920 WW1 like was rumored a day ago?

Nothing confirmed, but it looks to be a normal WWI-period game, but with some liberties taken (we'll have access to guns and items that weren't widely used in the war, but did exist then).

 

[Wollan]

Yep, real WWI battles.

Correct

Great! Day one on Neo.

 

[DaciaJC]

Excellent, a return to form for the series.

 

[kostacurtas]

Sorry for the quality. Some screens from the YouTube version:

 

[Gamezone]

Did they say anything about bots for multiplayer?

 

[WickedLaharl]

Every damn time

Better luck next time

 

[elcapitan]

So when's the open beta?

 

[james_b0ndjr]

So many negative people in this world. I hope Dice put their heads down, listen to some community members, but ultimately do what they want. Don't listen to the masses. They don't know what the hell they want in this politically correct, ADD, disect every damn decision over a video game, self entitled world.

 

[fabricated backlash]

Jeez. I hope I never become as pessimistic as you.

I'm just drunk, and my Boss is right next to me complaining about his private life, still... Seven Nation Army dub step, WTF

That horrible dubstep song nobody likes...

Still a shit Song and an even crappier Cover

Well of course because people want their semi/full auto stuff. lmgs, smgs, carbines, oh my.

 

[rdytoroll]

They made Battlefront look insane and run smooth on PS4, they can do it again. Will look amazing

 

[FlammableAce]

Why not just call it Battlefield?
Battlefield 1 seems dumb.

The 1 is for the first world war.

 

[Ghostmaster]

This looks almost exactly like a scene from that Battlefront trailer, only with a biplane instead of an X-wing lol.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

I refuse to call this anything but Battlefield WW1. EA can't count.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Activision must be sweating.

 

[OdysseusVA]

I hope Rush is capped to 32 players. They could do whatever they want with Conquest

c'mon now, turn that frown upside down.

 

[Alienous]

The only thing I want out of this game is a decent rendition of the Battlefield theme.

Not some garbled piece of noise that has gone through the eurotrash synthesizer.

You can hear a rendition of the theme at the very end of the trailer that might be BF1's.

 

[timetokill]

Looks damn awesome, but I'll wait to see actual gameplay before deciding.

 

[Shadax the wizard]

If this is anywhere near gameplay, we're in for a treat.

Might make the more realistically-styled violence a bit grim, though.

That gas-mask! Personally I hope it isn't just a 'putting on' animation with a return to normal fov, I'd like for the fov to be slightly limited when wearing a mask.

 

[viveks86]

I never said anything about graphics so I don't know what you're talking about. I'm talking about making a "cinematic" trailer using animations that don't exist in-game and that aren't representative at all of actual gameplay. This has nothing to do with graphics.

It's a battlefield game. It will play like a battlefield game. People are excited for the theme, the gameplay possiblities (that are quite obviously conveyed in the trailer) and the graphics. Would you also walk into a GTA or Uncharted announcement trailer thread and wonder why people are excited because there is barely any "actual gameplay"? There's plenty of time to see that too.

 

[Rizific]

Legit question here. Will the name of the game affect your enjoyment of it? Like, at all? No? Oh ok.

 

[Liquidsnake]

I like the song, its a freaking classic.

 

[james_b0ndjr]

Funny how people complain about the title Battlefield 1 when no one complains about how we call it World War 1? Why don't we call it just world war?

 

[Bornstellar]

That looks bloody dope.

 

[E-Cat]

Some people say the trailer is CG because they don't realize that the reason it looks so good is due to photogrammetry.

 

[matt05891]

I hope Rush is capped to 32 players. They could do whatever they want with Conquest

I am the opposite especially with the potential of some maps being based heavily around trench's. I'd like Rush and Rush(large) like they did with conquest.

 

[mcz117chief]

Not having easily portable automatic weapons (submachine guns became available only towards the end of the war) and fighting in close quarters in trenches makes having a melee weapon sensible. Bayonet dudes and if you lose it take your mace out. Ain't nobody going to start reloading a bolt lock rifle in a trench.

No, bayonets weren't very popular in trench assaults. Bayonet is basically a spear so it is long and unwieldy in a tight trench, that is why stormtroopers or Arditi used mostly knives. The order of business was simple, send in a barrage of artillery to pin troopers down in their trenches, then assault squads would rush from their trenches, or other prepared positions, filled the enemy trenches with huge amount of grenades and then charge in with knives to finish off anybody left. WWI was rough, mate.

 

[SuperSah]

Or the trailer song which will only be played in a trailer and not during the actual game itself.

You can't have BF and BF, Battlefront and Battlefield.

What are these floating things?

 

[AU Tiger]

I wonder if that's Henry Johnson on the cover art? I really hope that it is and that the SP campaign has some of the hellfighter stuff in it. That would be really awesome.

[Skux]

Well it was called "The Great War" until World War II came along.

 

[Deadbeat]

So when is the closed pc alpha dropping? I got into the bf3 and battlefront ones. Missed out on the bf4 one.

I want in.

 

[Doikor]

Also the WW1 was called The Great War in quite a bit on top of the world war name during the time when it was being fought.

 

[james_b0ndjr]

Well it was called "The Great War" until World War II came along.

And there is a battlefield 2. And 3. And 4.

 

[WaterAstro]

Hmmm automatics prevalent in WW1? Seems like they had a lot in the trailer, but maybe they were just machine guns?

 

[tiredheadcrab]

After many sci fi shooters that take place in the future, this feels fresh. I think I will wait for more gameplay, but this could be my holiday shooter.

 

[Alienous]

Wait a second, the trailer isn't 60fps...

hmm...

 

[Fixnow]

I guess we did not disappoint you

 

[draughn101]

Same, and I'll pay if I have to.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

And people said I was in the minority for being sick of futuristic warfare.

wasnt the dislike of the video because they said they wont sell mw separate though?

 

[matt05891]

What are these floating things?

Zeppelins

 

[Asd202]

Amazing editing in the trailer too. Best trailer ever?

Not even close.

 

[Doikor]

What are these floating things?

Barrage balloons. Airplanes get fucked up if they hit the wires/nets hanging between them.

They existed, the BAR was used in the great war
