After listening to the music in the teaser I'm even more confused. It just doesn't sound like pure historical stuff.

I'm hyped for tomorrow.

 

[Gnome Scat]

IT'S HAPPENING OH MY GOD IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING

 

[nick nacc]

isnt that this guy? So unless time travel......

 

[LordBaztion]

ok, at this point I'm more interested in that WW1 mech game than BF5

The more detail they add to the face textures, the more the chunky low-poly geometry of that collar stands out like an ugly, ugly sore thumb.

I noticed too but I like that kind of thing since it tells you that the real game assets are fucking amazing considering they are using them for their trailer

Damn Reck,I almost shot you in the face.

gotta cancel my pre-order.

Let's put an end to this flippy-dippy jet pack wall-running nonsense.

Spoiler

Fuck you Titanfall for starting this shit.

 

[GustyGardens]

This thread is like a rollercoaster.

2010 graphics.

Ah, yes

The guy whose character arc was someone who didn't swear to swearing all the time.

Alternate history 2010 graphics.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Considering they perfected the modern warfare shooter with BF4, I'm glad they're moving on to other challenges/time periods.

 

[Akoi]

I want this, I want this now!

 

[Complicated]

At least Battlefield looks like it'll be a straight up historic WWI game. After listening to Dan Carlin's series on the conflict, a game would really be welcome

Seriously, the people saying it wouldn't be suitable for a campaign don't know what they're talking about. WW1 with the DICE audio team is a dream come true. I hope it's a historic events campaign with liberties taken in multiplayer where that makes sense.

 

[RoboPlato]

I really want some cool alt history stuff. Always love it when it's done well.

 

[Cameron122]

So it's art of some kind? Your not getting me hype here.

It's a book

You should really really really really really REALLY check out Verdun. It's basically that. It's a Battlefield style WW1 FPSer with a bunch of authentic guns and classes and it's done in a way that's true to the war but not... clumsy or clunky like I remember Red Orchestra being.

Seriously, I got really excited looking at that neat concept art.

Counter argument: Titanfall's movement is fucking great and it's not Respawn's fault that other people copied them poorly.

 

[Knurek]

more salt in the wound

Well, there's always Flying Wild Hog or Techland.

 

[Liquidsnake]

BF is love
BF is life

The end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ill follow Dice anywhere.

As much as I like verdun, I could go for a damage model where it takes more than 1 bullet to win an encounter. Something between battlefield 3 and bad company 2 in terms of weapon damage would be ideal.

Plus, imagine AAA production on a ww1 shooter in this day and age.

 

[More_Badass]

Started a thread about the other game

So we can continue discussing it there

I don't really play multiplayer unfortunately

I think only the bolt actions are one hit. And there's a variety of reasons I think bolt-actions not being one hit would be bad. Balance would shift over to pistols, exposing yourself would be less punishing, fights between two people with bolt actions would look silly, and it just doesn't seem authentic to the grueling atmosphere of WW1.

Anyways here's a pic:

You should still give it a try. I like this (and the original BF 1942) because replacing enemy AI with real people makes the war experience more immersive. If you liked Dan Carlin's series on WW1 then it's worth picking up on sale and spending a couple hours hiding in trenches.

 

[DJSebolski]

Battlefield 1943?

 

[Hasney]

Battlefield 1943?

Battlefield 1 seems to be the name

 

[Bornstellar]

TBH, WW1 biplanes make a lot more sense for Battlefield's flight model.

 

[spectator]

Well, distractingly low-poly is not my definition of amazing.

 

[Symphonic]

Man World War I and World War II shooters used to be my favorite. Having it rooted it in history just made it so much more intense for me.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

Battlefield and C&C crossover confirmed:

No joke a red alert themed FPS would be baller

 

[UnforgivenTwin]

Same. I was always more immersed in those games honestly.

 

[DOWN]

Surely you realize in gameplay, that model will look fantastic. Battlefront had similar glaring close up issues mixed with some killed high detail but looks stunning in gameplay. This is the same.

 

[Jabba]

WW2 Russian front, so fucking in.

Same but not a chance.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I want this so bad now

 

[Deadbeat]

The speed would make more sense considering how slow jets were.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Battlefield 1943?

Its already on XBLA and PSN

 

[Hasney]

Yeah, it was always a shame their non RTS C&C games were awful. Both the standard and Red Alert universes had a lot of potential in several genres.

 

[CyberPunked]

And you're determining this how exactly? His mouth opens up as the gif goes along, meaning that it is likely something far away. I don't know how many people are shocked by something like that so close to them. He would probably be reacting to it as well if it was close, not just standing there waiting for whatever it is to possibly kill him.

It's definitely right infront of him. The shadow is too sharp for something far away.

 

[Odrion]

If you need anymore of an argument to check out Verdun, on Christmas they hold a special event that recreates the Christmas Truce where both sides stopped killing each other to make snowmen and play soccer.

If you give a shit at all about WW1 you owe it to yourself to check the game out.

 

[draughn101]

Maybe it's a spoof trailer. The shadow ends up being a big truck filled with gold and the guys from BC2 are sitting on top of it and run this guy from BF4 over.

It's Bad Company 3

That's super cool.

it won't be BC3 because DICE doesn't even know why people love BC2 so much.

It's a novelty but that game is janky as hell.

There's the surprise angle... I think we've got this figured out.

Slower flying would be awesome for me, it would allow me to actually kill people on the ground, not just get a hitmarker on them.

 

[SmackAttack]

I'm instantly in for this if it's WW1/2.

Instantly out if it's modern crap.

Pretty much where I sit. Titanfall 2 will be my FPS set in the future fix so I hope this turns out good. I hardly played Battlefield 3 and passed on 4 completely. Really hoping it's something fresh. I also hope DICE doesn't dirty up the screen like they do with B3 and 4.

Just in case anyone wants to see all of this dudes amazing work.. hopefully some of it ended up as an inspiration for BF.

so damn cool looking D:

Well, DICE made jets/helis useless in BF4 - terrible flight model, weak guns and counter measures. Flying coffins pretty much. I don't know why they bothered.

BF3 though...
