Battlefield 1

[catamount39]

I know the Garand was much later but still

I could see a Springfield in the game however. That was around in WW1, wasn't it? Springfield 1903?

M1903 Springfield was our main service rifle until the M1 Garand was created in the 30's. Served the Marines well against the bosch. ;_;7

1911

Big Bertha as seen in the trailer:

MG 08/15

there won't be a shortage of guns, especially if it takes rather the end of the WWI as WWI proppelled weapons inventions.

And as said, historical accuracy can only go so far, because WWI was a stand still war... that would not be a good game, so creative liberties are going to happen

Italian:

France:

British:

GErman:

Soviet:

US:

And a lot of Howitzer, that "enjoyed" great "popularity" in WWI

 

[catamount39]

And MP18.

 

[Dan]

There are no M1 Garand's in World War One

You're going to be using the venerable M1903 Springfield bolt action rifle when fighting as a US soldier.

That was designed in 1928. WW1 was 1914-1918.

Just goes to show how little I know about historic weapons.

YES! THE BAR!

As the name suggests, yes, it was entered into service in 1903.

Soviet:

Never took part in WW1

The revolution took place in 1917 and Russia then made peace.

Well... While WWI was generally a standstill war of attrition, there were frantic moments. Charges through no man's land with the bullets of machineguns and the whistling rounds of howitzers providing the soundtrack. I figure the game will mostly focus on that.

The revolution took place in 1917 and Russia then made peace.

But from 1914 to 1917 Russia was in the war, and the Mosin-Nagant was the standard issue rifle for the Imperial Russian troops.

I know that but it wasn't the Soviet Union until post revolution.

 

[catamount39]

Same rifles though.

You just made my day

I just watched the COD trailer to see why everyone was hating on it and wow.... aside from the fact that it's set in space it looks like a game from 10 years ago. I hope people finally realise that how bad those games are and stop buying them so they actually have to put some effort in.

They still use the same animations from the games they made ten years ago.

I'd say the same for Battlefield. Both franchises have been awful for years.

I miss the days of Battlefield 2 and 2142...

 

[Lizard]

I would say it is the same for a lot of games.

It is no secret that software companies reuse stuff that doesn't need changing or change existing stuff rather than make new stuff.

I never played the older games but I loved BF3 and BF4, and judging by the massive player base still playing BF4 two years later I'd say it's far from awful. At least Battlefield games are always very different, rather than just the exact same thing over and over.

 

[FoRiZon]

I hope a Musket Gun there for comedic effect on the recoil time.

You mean reload, right?

 

[boomee]

Thought this waa pretty cool

 

[boomee]

Whoops posted twice sorry. What do you guys think about a 220 dollar collectors edition i am very interested in it because of the harlem hellfighters and what they mean to me and growing up learning about them.But man that is a heck of alot of money

BF4 was a carbon copy of BF3, except of course for it not working for up to a year after release.
They're quite far removed from what the franchise used to be. Now, they're just Call of Duty set on bigger maps and with vehicles. No team work required, and interesting settings. I'll admit BF1 (stupid name...) appears to try and change things up, but given how incompetent Dice has become, I'm not holding my breath. Besides, I have little interest in paying double full price for the full game...

[TiZzla]

I love how the release date isn't even far away, and gameplay will be shown in about a month.

 

[Paulie]

I hope they have ANZACs in the game, but I thought it was cool with the aerial combat. Add this to the list of games I might probably possibly buy.

Battlefield is the same as Call of Duty with bigger maps and vehicles? Ok then, just ask to any COD fan how one feels compared to the other...
People this days get mad two easily, I know the game was far from perfect from release, netcode problems, bugs, etc, but I still enjoyed it, first on my PS3 (the map took some time to load, I remember that), less than a year later got it for PS4. I had my rage moments, that netcode was a pain, but gave me as much pain as campers did, and the overused OP weapons. BF3 was fairly better optimized for the last gen consoles, unlike BF4. I can notice the differences between them if I go back to BF3, just like I do between 4 and Hardline. All in all, the game was improved, shame it took too long for some people, but today, apart from some minor issues like the balance, it's a good and enjoyable game, with those classic "Battlefield moments" and those satisfying sniper mechanics. Most of the time there is no real teamwork, but you can't win a round without it, if you happen to play against a team who does and takes advantage of that same teamwork. It's a choice that you have, either play for the team, or play for yourself... you might win by yourself, but there will be situations where those few minutes of teamwork will make the difference between a win or a loss.

Just stop complaining about the name, it is what it is. It's a rather strange approach for a name, but could be worse.

Can't wait!

Loved Bad Company 2, loved Battlefield 3, although Battlefield 4 left me wanting a little as i thought it was just BF3(part 2)
World War 1 sounds like a great setting, really don't like all this new gen futuristic stuff, this came out of nowhere and i couldn't be more glad.

See you on the battlefield

 

[Patrick]

Only thing I really want is sounds that are on par with Bad Company 2, the war tape setting was unbelievable. Hasn't been the same quality since.

What's that? I've never played any Battlefield games previously (Unless you count 45 minutes of the BF4 beta in a private match).

Audio setting, Wartape was the best in BC2. BC2's audio was the best in general.

Oh. So it gave a little static here and there, with some other effects added?
