I am sorry but I don't see how drawing a line in the sand with this game works. It was an atrocious war, but they all are. If you have an issue with violence in video games, that's one issue, but to take up the banner against this one conflict doesn't make sense. Do you think the Vietnamese or Americans shouldn't have been upset about BF Vietnam? Is WWII not in a way shameful for the Germans? Yet we played the crap out of that. If you are taking a moral stand against war games in general, I understand, but taking up the rallying charge against only this is selfish and completely degrades your argument.
"There was no glory in this war. No thrilling action or daring do, no heroes". Your ancestors should slap the shit out of you for saying that. They answered their nations call no matter how wrong it may have been in hindsight. I don't agree with the war I fought in but I'd never degrade the sacrifices I made or that my brothers did. We volunteered to fight for our nation, no matter the cause. There may not have been glory as a nation, but there was glory and heroes among the men that fought it. Wars have not changed at all since this moment and never will. We bombed mercilessly in WWII, Vietnam, and present day. Do you think the people that we bombed in Iraq and AFG felt different than those men in the trenches? They had nothing to defend themselves against our technology and weaponry.
How fucking dare anyone make a game like this about the First World War. How dare you act like your sacrifice is different than any other generation or any other nation. You put your foot down when it comes to this, but not when it effects others? What kind of coward are you? This is where you draw the line? If you have a principle, stand up for it in full, no when it casts an ugly light on the actions of your ancestors.
I'm not sure what I think of their handling of this yet. As I posted earlier...
But if you are going to cry foul to this, cry foul to the whole industry, for everyone that would be effected, not just your own. This war is unique in scale only. Time will tell if they've handled this properly. It's clear from this thread that there's plenty of misinformation about this war, and the game has probably already resulted in more people going out to learn about i than anything else. Wouldn't reminding the public of the atrocities do more good than harm? Besides reminding you how shameful it makes you of your countries history?
whats makes a game interesting to you?
Having to adjust your match every 30 seconds. Too humid out for it to fire. Get piked to death.After this, I want to see Battlefield 0 that takes place during the invention of the gun.

That's my birthday! Happy birthday to me!
That, and trench warfare wasn't known to be the most exciting. Planes were also in their infancy. I'm sure the game will be great, but I just find the choice of WW1 kind of odd.
I don't mean to be cynical, but at what? That wasn't gameplay...
Not pleased
It's my dad's birthday. Might try and see how he does in a biplane 😂Me too.
My ears bleed from the godawful dub step. You'd think a WW1 setting would let them take the chance to revisit the glory days of orchestral music (which we'll probably still in the final game, if I were to guess.)
Still, the setting looks bloody interesting, and I love they they seem keen on bringing back destruction in a big way.
It's been said that horses will be one of the main vehicles in the MP, they will be called war horsesHmmmm no mention of horses in the description but horses all up in the video...
Can I dynamite up a war horse and run it into tanks? Will the horse gib appropriately?It's been said that horses will be one of the main vehicles in the MP, they will be called war horses
Trailer really sucks for me, it skips to black too soon too often.

Man, people really aren't about having a protag of color, are they?
Same here. I'm tired of the World War Games. I was expecting something a little more modern.
From 5 seconds of gameplay???After today...

Thats actually a very standard version of Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes.

This turns my stomach. Just flat out the most offensive game I've ever seen.
I can name family members that died in this conflict, wept at the pictures and accounts of the dead and maimed that experienced this hell, was taught all the horrors of it from primary school, through my whole life, it's only ever been a symbol of the folly of war, the worst, most black and shameful era of British and European history. I've been to the actual battlefields and mass graves across Europe, held the minutes silence without fail every rememberence day my entire life, for as long as I could understand the meaning of it.
There was no glory in this war. No thrilling action or daring do, no heroes and villains, this was mass murder, a scar on the history of our species, and every single person involved in it was a victim.
This trailer, the entire concept of this game, makes me feel physically sick, and just so fucking angry.
How fucking dare anyone make a game like this about the First World War.
I don't know what's worse, the sick fucking emotionless, greedy cunts that would seriously exploit this horror of an industrialised massacre, or the ignorant, soulless bastards that will give them money and enjoy it.
Anyone involved in this, or seriously think of buying this, should be ashamed of themselves.

Joke post...right?Man, people really aren't about having a protag of color, are they?
Nah dude that was some dubstep remix garbage. Jack White would never sour his blues roots like that.
Well its the first world war. Makes sense to me. They could have named it something far worse.
More "WW1 was nothing but trenches" stuff.
This game will end up being educational more than anything.
