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.
I don't mean to be cynical, but at what? That wasn't gameplay...
Because it's clearly sponsored by Microsoft, it's a way to make even more Xbox sales!!Very nice trailer, especially the part with the green smoke.
But I HATE that title >_> Why do you have to call it "Battlefield one"...it really rubs me the wrong way for some reason ^^;

People think they know how guns work because they play cod. They will take this game as a gospel just you watch.Only if people believe it.
Well from the time period it takes place in it's called The Great War.
I can't wait to see how this unfolds. The Great War could be very interesting.
I also wonder what the next battlefield game will be numbered.
Where's the info on the open beta? I don't see anything in the OP.
Usually battlefield betas are like a couple weeks before the full release, so I wouldn't expect any info on it anytime soon, but maybe they will keep doing what they did with the hardline beta because, imo, that beta was the reason the game wasn't a total meltdown, I hope they do betas that early more often to help the game more.Where's the info on the open beta? I don't see anything in the OP.
The name is also strange, but as I stated in the time count thread, it's not worse than Xbox One or Wii U.

No dinosaurs? Pre-Cancel Ordered!
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?
The name is clever in multiple ways.
Battlefield 1 could be the name you could give to WW1, since it was the first large-scale multi-country conflict.
There was also never a BF1, it started with 1942, then went to 2. So in game names it's the prequel to 2, it's just now coming out.
It could also signify that it's a reboot of sorts, paring the game back down to simpler mechanics of the earlier titles, and as a play on titles calling themselves "gamename Zero" as a "Battlefield Zero.. + 1"

MFW witnessing the birth of a new GAF copypasta....
Gotta say MS pulled a good one with this. Obviously CoD will still be the king of the hill but I think when it comes to marketing I think BF1 allows much more interesting and eye catching ads rather than if it ended up just being Battlefield 5.
I wonder who will be the first to rush back into WW2 if this game is successful.
Where i can pre-order the collector's edition?
This is some variant of some meme I'm not familiar with right? ....right?
Funny how many people day 1 because of a CG trailer and a logo.
Are you sure those two things are the only ones that incited people to buy on day one?Funny how many people day 1 because of a CG trailer and a logo.
After BF4 and Battlefront, I will be skeptical of this.

- Medic has syringe revives
- One of the maps mentioned looks HUGE--old BF style
- Gameplay trailer looked similar; reveal trailer really didn't seem "facetious" in comparison (I think he meant fallacious/false?)
- Air combat: dogfights, strafing runs, bombing runs--DICE wants there to be a lot of air options; you can sit in friend's gunner seat while they do strafing/bombing runs or dogfight
- You can control battleships; can demolish shoreline (ground deformation was mentioned in another description)
- Horses will be best for scouting/flanking (like bikes)
- Supposed to have a new melee system
- Bayonet charge ability
- Can likely use sabers
- Support seem like they'll have heavy machineguns
- Seems like four classes will have weapons similar to what we'd expect
- SP: more "open" campaign, make it feel like a "Battlefield" campaign as opposed to BF3/4 (he said it sounded more like Bad Company's campaign)
- Trying to make use of battlegrounds a lot of people don't know about
- Progression system wasn't confirmed; neither was weapon customization
- Didn't find out if you can pilot the zeppelin/barrage, but it's not just a part of the skybox; planes flying around it
[*]Seems very close to completion
Pretty sure it was a remix of 7 Nation Army, not original veraion, but its not dubstep remix, more electronic
Nah dude that was some dubstep remix garbage. Jack White would never sour his blues roots like that.

Because there wasn't any "Battlefield" or "Battlefield 1" yet and it is about the First Wold War.
The only alternative I can think of would have been Battlefield 1914 (or 5/6/7/8). But why choose 1916 instead of 1915 ? 1918 over 1917 ? 1916 makes sense, like a +100 years game.
DICE games tend to be like their trailers.

Having thrown 1000 hrs in BF4, all I need is a release date actually. People saying BF4 is bad probably are still living in 2014.
