HA HA this is hilarious. Trashing on Call of Duty, "M$", I fucking love them.
DICE reacting to the leak.
Interested in the game, BF3 & 4 remains some of my favourite multiplayer games but a WW1 setting seems kind of in poor taste. It wouldn't necessarily work as a FPS unless you jazz it up, but then you're glorifying one of the worst wars ever seen. Not saying you can't have games in that setting but give it the credence it deserves (Valiant Hearts does fantastically well in this regard). I only hope EA/DICE does do that rather than give it the AAA big budget guns and explosions treatment seen in past single player Battlefield campaigns.
Because under this aspect every other war covered in a video game was in good taste.
It's an alternate reality WW1, so historical accuracy doesn't really matter too much.
So far i know in the netherlands nothing was learned about WW1 either..we only learned from WW2. I needed to learn about WW1 when i saw a book in the library years ago. And believe me people are not going to like this game because it is WW1 and it isn't WW2.
If they don't include Christmas Day football dlc I'll be very upset
To anyone interested in learning about WWI Dan Carlin has a monumental series of audiobooks/podcasts about it.

Is anyone else freaked out by his nose? The more I stare at the nostrils the worse it looks

LOLOL
What?
Anyone discussed the race of the fellow on the pic? Gotta be alternate timeline right? In WWI most african-american troops were put on labor battalions.
(can't find my glasses, eyesight is shit, so I'm sorry if I'm mistaken about his race)
Maybe the game will follow the 92nd Divisionnot to go into racism or nothing like but the dude is black. the western front did not use much colonial troops on that theater, I think. If this game plays like the recent Verdun most people will hate it.
and since this probably is usa saving the world, it just don't make any logic.

The dudebro pose, the fact he has four weapons on him, the overused embers, the "badass" cloak.
It doesn't look like WW1 at all, it looks more like something you would find in Battlefield 4.
Hopefully it's just the shitty box art and not representative of the actual game.
i was hoping there was nothing in these WW1 rumours but this confirms it. I'll just stick to Battlefield 4 thanks. Maybe when the Premium edition of this new game is dirt cheap for sale on Origin I'll pick it up.
Historically accurate WW1 sounded like the dullest thing ever to me.
Would have watched the trailer just for dem frostbite graphics.
Steampunk WW1 though ? I am intrigued.
Fake edit: But..uhm...upon closer inspection i am not sure i can determine that from that cover ?
Lmao. WWI is in poor taste, but something like WWII or Vietnam isn't?Interested in the game, BF3 & 4 remains some of my favourite multiplayer games but a WW1 setting seems kind of in poor taste.

There's no evidence it's alt history. A leaked marketing photo even shows no evidence of it.

I don't think it'll be straight WWI. John Harker mentioned lots of prototype weaponry.
When is the official trailer or information being released today, what time?
Ha, what?

Another image
that spike thing.. is that something they used in WWI?
Maybe not main character but at least some one important. Who is black.Main char looks black to me
just some shadowing..
Actually during WWI both sides were already experimenting with the first concepts of helicopters and monocopters. Wouldn't be surprised if DICE adds them to give more variety to the gameplay. Would be interesting.

WW1-WW2

I want to enjoy playing the game, not work. How is that fun? How is waiting to use options in a multiplayer game, enjoyable? Other players will have access to stuff, and will use it to avoid death and divert it towards you. "No you can't use this thing until you've played for X more hours." I find it purely annoying.
I think it's the same guy as the teaser...who was a white guy with brown hairI would be so fucking happy if it's not another white guy with brown hair. So tired of seeing the same shit. I see one in the mirror everyday.

Personally I like having them as long as they're balanced well, gives me something to work towards.
