At first glance..I thought dude was a mage and that grenade was his wand completely got lost for a minute! Love that design tho hoping they keep that for multiplayer too lol bunch of badasses running around with capes

As posted last page it's an actual trench club from WW1.

So I'm not convinced it's actually alternative history yet.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Booo. I don't think they could go for realistic WW1 because it'd be 90% staying in a trench for an entire game.

No it wouldnt.

People are just complaining about the Key Art.

Just wait for game footage...

 

[Asgaro]

FUCKIN' HYPE BOOIZ

 

[Psychoward]

Better be alternate if not 💤💤💤💤💤

Smh


Hoping it's not so they don't have an excuse to shove 500 different scopes and unlocks in our faces again

 

[drangleic tourism]

Wow...I've never even played or given a shit about any previous battlefield game. But this concept/setting could be fantastic if handled properly.
It's nice to see big name shooters trying to break the idea/setting stalemate.

 

[DOWN]

I'm not seeing the "alternate" claims in the pic. It just looks like stylized WWI, but nothing crazy or steampunk. Y'all have no idea what setting the character is standing in. There's nothing crazy suggesting it's a war Zeppelin or something

lol

 

[Green Yoshi]

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

lol DICE.

Why is everybody freaking out about a $ sign? Only a bad joke.

[oti]

Maybe he's a wizzard and the setting is Harry Potter?

 

[KennyLinder]

Remember the first gameplay campaign trailer for BF4? Fuuuuuuuck that looked amazing.

 

[Machina]

We seriously need a modern WWII shooter with the best destructible environment tech that money can buy, and Stalingrad needs to be in it

 

[Theorry]

Booo. I don't think they could go for realistic WW1 because it'd be 90% staying in a trench for an entire game.

Why do people still say this stuff. Never learned about WW1 in school?
Trenchwarfare was only on the frontline in Europe.

Lol at "M$"

 

[Unstable]

DICE has probably wanted to take some significant creative liberties with the franchise for awhile now, even still, the setting seems particularly inspired.

I'm very interested to see how this turns out. Looks promising.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

do you even obvious WW1 grenade bro

the handgun is way more iconic it's one of the semi automatic pistols widely used in WW1

And wasn't this leaked by EA access already.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

As posted last page it's an actual trench club from WW1.

So I'm not convinced it's actually alternative history yet.

Ooo I thought somebody called it a grenade hmmm straight WW1 would be pretty ballsy, wonder if they can pull it off

 

[Hystzen]

Rush Mode will suit Trench Warfare and bi planes for Air superiority. The rest going be interesting how they adapt it to WW1

 

[pizzacat]

Smh


Hoping it's not so they don't have an excuse to shove 500 different scopes and unlocks in our faces again

You wouldn't need scopes with eye modifications

 

[dkeane]

I wonder what a Zeppelin going down in flames looks like in Frostbite?!

Today is the anniversary of when the Hindenburg went up in flames.

That's next year

Time travel makes more sense

future x the past

 

[BioHazard]

absolutely amazing

also, looks like a zeppelin in the background

 

[StriKeVillain]

Not everyone got the same education you did. Some folks honestly don't know.

 

[XxRampage07xX]

Someone who's better with that era of weapons, is that a 30 Cal. hanging on his side?

This is probably his gun

I might be wrong though.

 

[Jackpot]

People are still in denial over it being WW1? It's been known for ages.

 

[LuuKyK]

BF5 featuring Doctor Strange.

 

[Forerunner]

Holy shit this isn't alternate history at all, this is full blown WW1.

Yeah, I don't think it's alt history either. Guess we'll find out in a few hours.

 

[SJRB]

Yeah, and the rent is fucking ridiculous. Can't wait to get off this city zeppelin

I heard the rates are sky-high.

 

[Ibuki]

How does M$ offend people?

 

[Daffy Duck]

This is going to melt GAF isn't it?

I cannot wait until 9pm.

 

[Woody Invincible]

Keep pressing square to not die from Mustard Gas.

I'm hyped I wanted 2142 sequel but I will take a alt timeline approach

2142 b o i s

It's a childish/immature thing to say coming from someone who represents a multi-million dollar company.

I think the people saying "I won't buy the game because of this" are just joking, though.

 

[Mr_Irish]

Oh good god, please not alternate reality BS :/

 

[CaptainofIndustry]

Here is a proper capture I just did

This is fantastic.

 

[D4Danger]

I like that this thread is now about someone using M$ in 2016 than the new game

 

[TVexperto]

YES! THANK YOU DICE! Im just happy they actually listened to their fanbase and didnt create a CoD style futuristic shooter! Im so ready for E3

 

[draughn101]

We seriously need a modern WWII shooter with the best destructible environment tech that money can buy, and Stalingrad needs to be in it

Brothers in Arms....

 

[Toa TAK]

Oh man. WWI?

This is the first time I've ever been hyped for a Battlefield game.

"M$" lol

Dice Ps4 fanboys confirmed

 

[Simo]

WW1? Zeppelins? Trench Clubs? Mauser pistol? Bi-Planes?

Take my money already! lol Liking that image too.

 

[julrik]

Here :

LOL.

Yeah, this is obviously some alternative WW1 thingy. Hype deflated massively. Wish they'd keep it realistic.

 

[VariantX]

DICE reacting to the leak.

I think it's just about time someone had a meeting at DICE about how to conduct themselves on social media. And reiterate what you say there stays on the internet forever

 

[Sushigod7]

Time travel makes more sense

future x the past

Maybe Van Damme Timecop style!!!

 

[Revolutionary]

I follow him since years ago, he was a DICE employee until he expanded to all of EA titles.

Cool guy, must be pissed for sure.

For sure, considering he's involved with EA's digital marketing. I'd be pissed too - he probably provided all the media and gave them a specific time to upload them.. and MS still fucked it up.

 

[Compsiox]

Some Microsoft person probably saw that the Pre Show started and assumed it was the reveal.

 

[MadYarpen]

With real WWI setting it would make more sense to make it... something like a survival horror. With no zombies obviously. Regular shooter will not do the history justice IMO. This was fucking scary war.

 

[josecitoxnyo]

Another guy managed to screencap the tweet.

 

[GodofWine]

The gun look like Mauser M712 which wasnt around ww1

The Mauser C96 line was around since around 1900, perhaps a variant from WWI or some artistic/time period liberty is taken here.

 

[Codiox]

Lol at all those quotes. Yeah I would like another bf3 (yes 3) much more than some ww1/ww2 stuff. Especially the ww2 stuff has gone too long back in the days. maybe most people here forgot that or are too young and their first medal of Honor they played was the reboot.

If BF5 is getting the way it likely seems to go than no thanks. I will pass.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

I think we all know who's behind this.
