Welp lol.

Pretty much. All this time under wraps and they done messed up.

 

[FeD.nL]

Where do they find these employees? Goddamn.

 

[Compsiox]

Nice "M$". Who working at DICE isn't 14? They all seem to be judging by this weeks tweets.

Probably just a reaction to a lot of work on a reveal going to waste.

Will be deleted

Twitter was a mistake.

Battlefield Five: Oldschool Warfare

Battlefield Five: Horse Air-Drops via Zeppelin

 

[NightShift]

I either want this to be the most grounded WW1 game (trenches) or the least grounded WW1 game (steampunk). I would not care for anything inbetween.

 

[Schryver]

Cool so far. Never been into Battlefield but maybe this will be the one I try

 

[Zia]

Alternate Reality WW1 obviously.

Ugh. I just want a modern Great War(s) shooter!

 

[Corto]

AH...The humanity!

 

[KHlover]

Sure, flying balloons in World War One. Totally.

What exactly was the point of including the $ in response to a leaked image?

lol DICE.

Funniest part about it is that MS likely has a marketing deal for the game.

I just choked from laughter. That's fucking hilarious.

 

[Machina]

That image reminds me of Wolfenstein

That's probably what they're going for. They noticed the popularity of The New Order

 

[Mondrian]

More blue and orange.... If it's not some alternate universe thing... I'm in. I truly enjoyed playing Verdun so I'm game for some trench action. That's clearly a trench club btw.

Twitter was a mistake.

Hiring children was a mistake.

Is this real? lol

Absolutely

Spoiler

;P

Approved.

That dude looks boss as fuck.

They were used for raids during WW1.

Respek my name!

 

[Glowsquid]

If anything, this is Battlefield going back to it's roots.

Unless it's alternate history. Which would also be awesome.

well, battlefield's spriritual progenitor Codename Eagle was an alternate history WWI.

 

[Shaowstrike]

I am so glad that it is. I cannot wait. This is a breath of fresh air.

It will still be current gen Battlefield, just with WWI assets. It's not as much a breath of fresh air as it is a huff of new paint.

 

[Theorry]

Hiring children was a mistake.

Zhinto is back.

 

[BrettHeazy]

DICE EXECS: "What was the best part about battlefront"

DEVS: "The sweet sound FX brah"

DICE EXECS: "BF5 will be WW1 with sweet futursitic twist so we can have cool SFX again"

DEVS: "good idea man"

 

[Alienous]

I hope on Christmas day everyone who boots up Battlefield 1 gets launched into a WW1 FIFA.

[maquiladora]

This can't be real right... Right???

I'm cancelling my pre-order if he actually said that.

What...because someone you never heard of who is maybe an employee of EA mocked a giant corporation's mistake by using the clichéd $ instead of an S in a deleted tweet... you are going to cancel a pre-order? Is this real life.

 

[old manatee]

I heard that Microsoft was named after Bill Gates.

 

[pirata]

Wow, finally going back to historical settings! I might actually be interested!


And no, not all of WWI was a grinding trench stalemate (although most of the Western Front was like that). There was tons of crazy shit going off all over the world. Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Pacific islands. The Russian Revolution happened at the same time as the war. This was the era of flying aces and zeppelin raids.

[Magic Mushroom]

Say what you want, but a steampunk version of WW1 would be more original than a traditional WW game. Has that ever been done before?

I'd like to see more.

 

[Mdk7]

I'm interested!

 

[Ethelwulf]

Is that a machine gun at the bottom left?

 

[PeskyToaster]

I am definitely intrigued now. I want more true to history WWI but I'll take some alternative shit as well. This could be an interesting experiment.

Well now I feel silly as fuck. Bring me back to school.

LOL you get banned on GAF for this. Professional Developer everyone.

 

[Plesiades]

It kinda looks like Alternate History. Not sure yet.

 

[pokeystaples]

Alternate history BF? Yes, pls.

DICE reacting to the leak.

M$?

Damn.

 

[Militaratus]

I always said all that was missing in Battlefield was capes. And since we're on the train to fantasy land, how about we capture one of those zeppelins and head into space to fight the Nazi's on the Dark Side of the Moon!

The big 2 wargames are making it kinda hard for me to choose between them this time, one has giant spaceships duking it out, and the other has awesome capes plus fantasical journey through trenchland! Don't make me choose!

 

[StriKeVillain]

I really hope we get ground to air fights where you can fight on the ground -> take off in a plane -> fight enemies on a zeppelin -> land on the zeppelin and continue the fight and

Spoiler

crash the zeppelin.

 

[DVPredator85]

Where are you getting alternate from?

The image looks steampunk-ish imo, so maybe alternate history? Even if it's just regular WW1 or WW2, I'd be down for that as well.

Makes it even more funny. He is from EA. Who doesnt care about money.

After researching a bit its definitly WW1. Here are some WW1 weapons:

Pistole C96/1916

[JaggedSac]

You know what, I had no intention of caring about a next battlefield, but now I'm interested.

 

[Tecnniqe]

That's probably what they're going for. They noticed the popularity of The New Order

World needs more Wolfenstein

 

[Drencrom]

So hyped, really glad a shooter finally tackles WWI!

 

[Menitta]

I heard that Microsoft was named after Bill Gates.

It's because they used to make really small soft serve ice cream cones. /j

I don't get it. They stroked the idea of WWI all damn week. How is that image more revealing than them linking this via twitter? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codename_Eagle
