Do hope we hear something soon, and that the rumors about the setting turn out to be true.

 

[GasProblem]

I really hope we're going back again, WWI or WWII I don't care. It's just been so long and I'm getting tired of everything having a future setting.

 

[Summer Haze]

WW1, Frostbite, War Tapes audio setting = IN!

 

[Ozorov]

No of the DICE employees has teased anything, yet.

Except that dude.

You should know by now that not all will tease something. No one from Respawn teased anything about Titanfall 2 Same with the Battlefront stuff that happened two days ago.

Teasing will not happen often. Especially what that tight NDAs nowadays. And just because nobody is teasing something it doesnt mean nothing will happen.

 

[Lucifon]

Guessing the tease from Casey isn't just going to be Mirror's Edge stuff...?

 

[Pound_lb003]

Amazing how most people here are excited for an historical setting. I am way on board too.


Just wonder if that'll translate to the wider audience, or if that is precisely what the barrier is to another historical shooter.

 

[Bobnob]

So no Apache's

 

[ElzarTheBam]

WW1, Frostbite, War Tapes audio setting = IN!

This man knows his shit

 

[Soulja]

Please be true... Please be true...

 

[Starfield]

Maybe it really is in WW1....but with magic and beasts

 

[Mahonay]

Been dying for anything at all. I hope a teaser does end up hitting today.

 

[Auctopus]

Maybe it really is in WW1....but with magic and beasts

Maybe it's WW1. But with Helicopters, Fighter Jets, Assault Rifles, Weapon Attachments and a Modern Military setting? ... and jetpacks.

 

[Daffy Duck]

I can feel it

...coming in the air tonight.

This. I'm on a music board that has one of the BF level designers, and he knows better than to say a thing. I mean, obviously his name is out there, but he won't even drop a hint. Tried like hell to get him to say anything about BC3, and all he said was "you'll like what you see."

 

[v1lla21]

Can't wait to dig some trenches.

 

[strafer]

WW1, Frostbite, War Tapes audio setting = IN!

Yup. But then imagine WW2.

I remember my mind being blown when I played Allied Assault.

 

[ShadowsFell]

Just give me something as quality as BF4 (post many of the patches) and I'll be happy. Though ideally, I REALLY want to avoid a future setting. Modern day or older is good with me.

 

[shoreu]

Geez why. I won't be buying this then

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

I'm still going with 2142 sequel.

WW1 just seems like an odd setting for this franchise.

 

[Simo]

Huh. We're expecting something today or tomorrow?

Funny that their FB page posted yesterday about storming the beaches from one of their earlier Battlefield titles...

 

[XxRampage07xX]

Yup. But then imagine WW2.

I'm still waiting for this scene to be recreated in form of a BF game.

 

[DeepEnigma]

WW1, Frostbite, War Tapes audio setting = IN!

Indeed!

 

[k4n3]

i could see them doing all 3 honestly... if you think about how many guns/maps were in BF4 it wouldnt bet hard to do ww2/modern/future all in a single game

 

[marrec]

Still as excited about this as when the rumor first started circulating.

Re-Reading The Guns of August right now and am more convinced than ever that WWI, especially the opening battles, would make an amazing setting.

 

[Onemic]

WW1 would be the most boring setting and gameplay ever. The whole game would just be sitting in trenches.

I can't believe no one and I mean no one has mentioned this before in this very thread.

 

[BattleMonkey]

And the weaponry.

I doubt it would be true WW1, as some suggested, a sci-fi alternate WW1 probably. Steampunk Battlefield?

I found several domain registrations for Battlefield. One of them was BAttlefield Armageddon.

All through one corporate domain registration service. Could be EA simply blocking those though.

Damn. I just want another bad company.

im happy with anything as long as its no futuristic setting

I think you should read up on WW1, and go beyond the locked Western front. (And I believe even that front could give good gameplay, because it is not that there weren't any offensives at all, it is just that in the larger scheme they didn't move the frontline all that much)

As had already been said, in addition to what you've said, the Western Front's opening moves were all fast and furious battles that didn't really involve any trench-warfare. They only got entrenched as the front moved closer to Paris.

I think the main issue people see is that WWI does not have enough weapon variety. I think that's where the benefit of an alternate history comes in. The battles can be lifted straight from history but i would appreciate it if weapons/vehicles/gadgets aren't solely rooted in reality.

 

[WickedLaharl]

World War 1 would suck ass. World War 2 is about as far back as the series should go.

 

[Beepos]

Yes WW1, can you imagine 30 v 30 players running out of trenches to engage. Sounds like an interesting change of pace to me.

 

[spookyfish]

Looking forward to 60 fps years long trench battles.

Ha! This is what I was thinking.

you clearly need to watch this then

Please don't be present or future. PLEASE!

I sure hope they do not do this (and do not believe they will). They already have Titalfall 2 they are publishing, and SW:Battlefront for the Sci-Fantasy setting.

This thread should have a *HISTORY LESSON* in the title for everyone with the gut reactions. Read through the thread.

 

[diaspora]

Tactical shooter for WW1 doesn't make too much sense to me. Like... what tactics are there other than running into machine gun fire?

 

[Ozorov]

World War 1 would suck ass. World War 2 is about as far back as the series should go.

Its rumored to be an alternative WW1-setting

 

[Glorious Ownage]

Current Gen graphics in a WW1/2 setting. Yes please! It has been a while. I miss the whiz of a sniper bullet and hearing the crack of thw rifle on a near miss Medal of Honor had.

Oh baby, this!

 

[diaspora]

Its rumored to be an alternative WW1-setting

Okay, that would be sick

 

[Silent Hill]

PLEASE don't be futuristic.
