What if it's time travel?
Yes, and I was agreeing with you.

That's pretty good, I'm tired of modern shooters.
I see that now and I apologise.
That's usually how it works. It goes in cycles. Companies think 1 thing is hot and then inundate us with that for years until the setting is stale an uninteresting.
I hope this is true. Modern military is boring as hell.

thats why we need far future mechs and capital ships!
Just the introductory level though. It was okay, sure it had unlimited ammo just because. Nice setting.
I tend not to believe this because were is the carrot compared to XP and upgrades of modern versions?
The masses lose interest if there isn't some carrot. I wish fun was just a factor to get away from that.

show me one that has the mechanics and style as the battlefied series.
i dont like the idea of ww1. would like another modern day however im pretty sure i would end up liking it.
I don't think I enjoyed a single BF game as much as the original 1942. Sure, part of it was because the concept was new to me (large scale MP with optional vehicles), but I would like to see a new take on it with current graphics and production values.
Don't know about WWI, however. I find WWII a little more relatable simply because I'm more familiar with the history. Regardless, I highly doubt BF5 will be a WWI shooter.

I don't understand why people want this so badly. If they made the gameplay actually representative of World War I, it would be boring as hell, so people are excited about a World War I skin for the Battlefield we're all familiar with by now? I don't get it.
Either way, there is zero chance that this listing is correct. The release date sounds accurate given the release dates of the past few Battlefield titles, but there is no way in hell a mainline Battlefield game releasing in 2016 will be set that far back in the past. They have the 194X series for a reason.
If you guys want to play a good World War I first-person shooter, go on Steam and buy Verdun.

I want naval combat back too. My heart says WWI but my mind and a different part of my heart says WWII. I'm just ready to go back and I think gamers are too. There's an entire generation that has potentially grown up exclusively on modern/near future shooters.

If done right it could be great. Horses on open war fields charging to the enemy lines, trenches for close quarters, those mounted 2 man machine guns, gas warfare, dust storms...
I think WWI is often overlooked when studying warfare. It was brutal, nasty and very up close and personal. Solders had their gun but also had really nasty knives for hand to hand.
If done right this could be awesome.

Just what we need!
Guys dying to mortar bombardments they cant see or avoid. Sinking into the wet mud and being left for dead because their gear is too heavy to pull them out. Sleeping and fighting next to your dead friends
Sounds great

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.

I'd prefer a modern day setting but anything is better than it being in the future!

Battlefront plays more like a WWII game than a future game I've just realized.

Nothing beats a last-ditch banzai charge that sweeps over the enemy's positions as your TL unleashes a mortar bombardment on their spawn points.

WWI is a bit weird but a current-gen 1942? YES!

Hell yeah take me back
This is my feeling as well, but I'm happy to see something "old" again instead of future warfare.

I've given up on modern and future.
It's World War II or bust for me. I'd allow Korea and Vietnam too though.

I agree with you, even modern would really be pushing it for me.
Did you play BATTLEFIELD: Vietnam? Man, what an amazing game... Korea would be really cool too.

I would love a conceptual campaign that's all about experiencing the insane shit that soldiers had to live through in WW1. DICE would be the perfect developer to create that in all honesty. Who would be better at creating the audiovisual effect of a million shells pounding your position over the course of a few days? There are so many incredible and unimaginably horrifying events from WW1 it would be so much more interesting than the typical shooter campaign just to live in some of those moments.

Somebody tweeted this yesterday: COD then vs now...
Enough of the goofy shit. COD can keep that crap. Battlefield should be grounded in realism. I really want another modern warfare game, just gimmie a BF4 upgrade please.

Operation Locker and Operation Metro were basically trench warfare anyway.
I find it difficult to believe the entire game is set in WW1 however.

I noticed this in the beta. There were lots of trenches and uneven ground that made most of the combat close range. I think this is how WWI was.

Technology changed so much throughout the course of World War 1 that this might be interesting if they lock out certain vehicles and tech depending on the year you're fighting in.
For example, tanks effectively did not exist at the beginning of WW1. By the end of WW1, they were absolutely vital to victory.

I am not sure why people do not think you can not have a full battlefield game like this at all. Just put it towards the end of the war. There were tanks, trucks, planes, and boats, rifles, machine guns, and etc.
Welp, I'm sold.
