Oh man, I've just remembered how much I loved BF 3's Armored Shield map.

This account never misses a beat.

Or an opportunity.

 

[Movalpolos]

They better bring out that XB1.5 by the time this comes out.
Can't imagine all the things they'll have to cut back to get it running on XB1.

 

[chronic_archaic]

I'm definitely more interested in this than COD for once - seems like it could be awesome. Wanted a WW1 setting for a long time and a alternate history setting makes a lot of sense in terms of gameplay. Bet it's stunning to boot.

 

[Psychoward]

Probably the giant blimp?

Zeppelins...

Battlefield formula and BF4 dont go together. The true Battlefield formula can only be found in Battlefield 1942, Battlefield Vietnam and Battlefield 2. You can find signs of it in Bad Company 2. The rest is trash, its not Battlefield after 2 really. They tried to hard to go after COD. I hope this changes things. I have been playing the series from the launch of 1942, it's time to bring back the real Battlefield formula.

What is this Battlefield formula you speak of?
Because if it's not rediculously OP planes and jets or long line of sites meaning you can get sniped a mile away with no clue who shot you, then it's basically the same thing as BF4, just not dated.

 

[AEREC]

Hope this is true...love all the battlefield games but none of them has topped 1942 for me yet. And the best one since 1942 was the 1943 version.

Probably the giant blimp?

They don't teach anything in school anymore I think... Makes me sad.

Lol...

Fascinating how it's referred to as "The" World War. Usually I see it referred to as the Great War in pre-WWII documentation.

The disc doesn't even have a hole in it lol


They could have put some effort in to it

 

[PeskyToaster]

What's with people thinking the WW1 setting = boring game. This is a videogame, WW1 can be the theme without them staying 100% true to it.

Most people think every other video game about war was 100% accurate but a WWI game would be bound to reality.

 

[draughn101]

What are you talking about? The broomhandle mauser didnt come out until 1896 the 1940s.

[packy34]

There was even a thread in the offtopic about tech in wwI. Sure looked interesting, but not very fun from a gaming perspective.

Let's go ahead and judge that now before we even see the game in motion

 

[pizzacat]

Why would a disc have an ad for its dlc? It's just an oddly shaped ad

 

[MilkyJoe]

The real reason for the whole thing was that it was too much effort not to have a war.

Hi5

 

[Blues1990]

doesn't really sound like much fun to play.

The game is available on Steam, so give it a look. I had a blast playing it during Early Access, and it offers a different dynamic from a number of contemporary shooters.

It's not a disc, though. Just a round poster.

Nothing will ever be BF2 again. I know. I played a shit ton of those games. Get over it.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

if it's realistic, can't wait to instantly die or freeze to death.

Knowing DICE, the poison will have terrible DoT and that's balanced. Don't want people to be spamming poison gas everywhere *cough*rgo grenades*cough*.

 

[The Wraith]

Ok I'm pretty hyped that this is a WW1 Battlefield and it seems to be about the Harlem Hellfighters which is so badass I can't even handle it. I am completely on board with this.

 

[Consumer]

I wonder how many parents are gonna buy their kid(s) the wrong BF game because they assume BF1 is the oldest one.

 

[Tecnniqe]

huh that's odd

The gas mask excites me. I hope it's something we all have, and have to equip during gas raids or something of the sort (maybe levolution?).

 

[Alpende]

I'm down. I'd love for it to go back to WW1/2. We'll know in a couple of hours for sure.

Probably not many, because BF1 will have the preponderance of advertisements starting later today.

It is interesting, I have no idea when it was constructed but I would imagine very shortly after or possibly during WWI... The plaque is located in Clerkenwell, London, if you were curious.

Kids don't play Battlefield.

We know already. WW1

Big scale, slower, sandbox levels and vehicle focused.

It is now (mostly) smaller, faster, gimmick levels and a lot of focus on infantry gameplay.

 

[apollo_1444]

I'd much rather have this than bad company 3

huh why?

 

[FunkyDealer]

Ugh.. Why do they insist on the tacky cyan and orange design? It was fine with 3, but then 4 had it aswell and it made it look like 3.5, and now they're doing it again!

I'm guessing they'll have a another farting version of the theme tune as well...

 

[packy34]

Kids don't play Battlefield.

Some people run their servers like they do. I hate "no profanity" servers in an M-rated game.

So awesome
Hopefully our custom emblems will be on the back of the capes

 

[MilkyJoe]

huh why?

It's completely new and different?

they're too deep now, they can't go back

Apparently not. I knew what Zeppelins were well before High School. I knew that there weren't helicopters. I recognized most of the attire and armaments in the picture.

I love history though...so that probably helps. I don't pursue it or anything, but if these are adults commenting (over 18)...sheesh.

Check out history guys....some great and interesting things in there. Heheh.

I mean come on, the Hindenburg is one of history's most talked about/popular air disaster.

 

[bones123]

What a tremendously bad name.

 

[Arcipello]

Lol...

aww i used to live just around the corner from that buidling...had no idea the zeppelins made it all the way over to london

 

[draughn101]

You missed the strike I did in my post.

Lol, I got it, but a few of us are trying to educate, so I used it as a teaching point, lol.

 

[Zoom In]

I wonder how many parents are gonna buy their kid(s) the wrong BF game because they assume BF1 is the oldest one.

haha i can see it now. Kid says "I want Battlefield". Parent goes to store, sees Battlefield 1, 4, and Hardline and is like wtf, which one?!

 

[JetSetRadio]

Lots of war experts here, let's hope dice didn't shoot themselves in the foot.

 

[Theorry]

Xbox One marketing deal?

[Surfinn]

So far there's no hard evidence that points to an anything other than an authentic WW1 experience right? Even the cover makes it seem this way.

 

[Codiox]

Man the bf3 trailer is fucking hype.

 

[SomTervo]

ignore, baby
