Looks like we'll play as the Harlem Hellfighters in the campaign then if they're pushing this guy.

Hype is through the roof.

 

[Newtype-001]

Absolutely amazing

 

[hydruxo]

Looks fantastic. I'm excited to see how it plays since it's WW1.

 

[Grisby]

Looked pretty sweet. I am fully on board with going back to WW1.

Music was awful though. Why not use something more along the lines of this?

Wait, you can fly the zeppelins?

Incoming Kamikaze Zeppelins.

Everyone zergs to the zeps at the beginning of the match.

Players who don't get them fire a single bullet into it's hull.

 

[OdysseusVA]

I need to be able to ride a horse into battle in MP and have a gunner in the biplanes.

Don't let me down, DICE.

 

[OverBlood 3]

Looks mint.

 

[Calm waterfall]

Looks amazing.

 

[Psychoward]

hopefully they take cues from RO2 with how gore works

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Every damn time

Dude is not white though...

 

[Liquidsnake]

BF 1
COD 0

 

[Alienous]

I'm just glad it looks legit.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

October 18th I'm there Day 1!

 

[Nirolak]

So they have three cosmetic/gear packs listed, and one of them lists that it comes with early access to a map.

I think they're not selling map packs?

 

[Daeda]

Great to finally see a WWI setting in a game, but hearing DICE talk, I get the feeling they are not exactly interested in depicting what essentially was the most horrific war in modern history. I heard them say the words cool and awesome a lot, and sure that is important for a MP game, but some actual perspective would be refreshing.

 

[Irobot82]

Knights?

Yeah man, Knights and spears still existed in WW2.

EDIT: I HIGHLY recommend everyone check out Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast series on WWI.

 

[carlsojo]

"Early Enlister Deluxe Edition?" Jesus.

 

[Bunta]

Well, that looked rad as hell.

 

[Respawn]

Looks like we're back mates ahh yeah

 

[dancrane212]

- Earth-shattering Intuitive Destruction - With intuitive destruction no battle is ever the same. Destroy vehicles big and small, and demolish entire buildings. From tiny wooden houses to massive stone forts, even the grounds on which you're fighting can be blasted apart.

Destruction coming back in a big way? YES!

 

[demolitio]

The fact that battleships are back has me excited. Hopefully this will be a full reboot for the series and we'll go up in time from here for full naval combat in a WWII game.

BF belongs in historical settings so this is great news to me no matter how many liberties they obviously will have to take.

 

[Skux]

Theres a difference between a trailer saying "in-engine" and actual gameplay. Just because its engine doesnt mean thats how itll look on consoles or even PC.

Star Wars Battlefront is living proof that DICE and the Frostbite Engine can pull it off. Game looks amazing and runs surprisingly well even on older hardware.

 

[Anton Sugar]

In case GAF skimmed over it:

- Epic 64-Player Multiplayer Battles - Squad up with your friends and join in the most epic multiplayer battles in FPS history with up to 64 players fighting as infantry or piloting vehicles ranging from tanks and bikes on the ground to biplanes and gigantic battleships.

 

[Pastry]

What about open beta? When will it start?

 

[Surfinn]

Destruction coming back in a big way? YES!

It's what has me most excited.

 

[EL CUCO]

Is there timed platform dlc exclusivity?

 

[Granadier]

so I am assuming FREE maps are coming and they will do these customization packs instead.

This would throw me over the edge of hypeville.

 

[Raven77]

I'm in if the multiplayer feels more like Bad Company than the last couple titles.

Sooooo, I guess I'm likely out.

Funny cause I am the complete opposite. Except I want it to feel more like Battlefield 2 than anything else...

 

[GTSweet]

So they have three cosmetic/gear packs listed, and one of them lists that it comes with early access to a map.

All praise the cosmetics / early access only route!

 

[Netherscourge]

I can't wait to play this...!

-
...4 months after launch when they patch all the bugs and server problems!

I know you, DICE. I KNOW YOU.

 

[ScaryShark]

Every damn time

What weird characteristics to find in someone literally in a war.

 

[TheSeks]

none of the BF games ever went future.

http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Battlefield_4:_Final_Stand
http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Battlefield_2142

DICE has been hinting a BF2143 for years. You have no idea how pissed I am they're going back to World Wars instead of doing future arcade. :/

 

[rashbeep]

Lol white stripes for a WW1 shooter?

Assuming IQ is the difference in the retail game, the visuals are mindblowing. I do wish they got rid of that colour grading nonsense though, Battlefront's use of colour was refreshing from DICE.

 

[Alienous]

Full size image of collector's edition goodies:

Accurately representing the Harlem Hellfighters and giving them the recognition they deserve. Well fucking done DICE. Crazy excited for this game.

They're tempting me.

 

[PeskyToaster]

So they have three cosmetic/gear packs listed, and one of them lists that it comes with early access to a map.

That would be great. Has there been any mention of premium? I quickly scanned/ctrl-f'ed the Amazon listing and I saw no mention.

In case GAF skimmed over it:

That vehicle list is just like reading off my dream wish list for this game. I saw a horses too. Amazing.

 

[Mathezar]

Well, this event was rather lame. To me it was hyped up to be something more than just a showing of a trailer. I lost count at the amount of times I've heard the word "experience".

I having said that, the trailer itself was good, and I'm just greatful it's not some weird alternate/future/space setting, although I remain reserved until I see some actual gameplay.

 

[SuperSah]

Okay so.

1) This shits all over CoD for me, I simply love the game's theme.

2) Boxart is rad and finally a black male on the front of it, hoorah!

 

[AaronMT86]

Sign me up. I'm in on PC.

 

[nOoblet16]

Sounds like they finally brought back the legit Destruction Engine.

It was great in Bad Company 2 and BF 1943, then they sorta got lazy with it.

yea sounds great, except infantry weapon in those days weren't really very....explosive.

 

[strikeselect]

I heard them say the words cool and awesome a lot, and sure that is important for a MP game, but some actual perspective would be refreshing.

This is why I'm keeping my expectations low. I think it'll play like a WW2 shooter with a WW1 skin.

 

[BerserkerX2]

Was hoping someone would ask them if there would be female soldiers. And if there would be bots or a co-op mode

 

[SA007]

At least the trailer was better than infinite warfare. Then again from the trailer it looks like its a combination of some enhanced cod games packed inside a WW era.

 

[Trojan]

The reaction difference between the Battlefield 1 reveal and the Infinite Warfare reveal is night and day

 

[wig]

Destruction coming back in a big way? YES!

omg! yes yes yessss!

Such a MASSIVE amount of weapons, vehicles and battlefields to choose from. This game is going to be fucking epic.

 

[Chubzdoomer]

In case GAF skimmed over it:

Nice. BF 1942 did controllable battleships (and aircraft carriers) 13 years ago, so it's great to see them finally bringing that aspect back.

 

[Theorry]

Seriously. Battlefront served up so much fucking crow.

 

[Akronis]

Funny cause I am the complete opposite. Except I want it to feel more like Battlefield 2 than anything else...

Yes. This. Please bring back actual classic Battlefield 2 gameplay.

Spoiler

and please try not to splinter the community with 4000 different content/map packs...

 

[RoKKeR]

In case GAF skimmed over it:

Don't count on it... think AT-AT from Battlefront is my guess.

 

[ISOM]

I heard them say the words cool and awesome a lot, and sure that is important for a MP game, but some actual perspective would be refreshing.

I don't think making people depressed is how you sell games even if the topic of the game is a horrendous historical event. They could have just not made the game and that would have given enough respect to it.
