Battlefield 1 - set in World War 1

[Makabb]

wait WAIT, i just noticed official site says 'BATTLEFIELD' not 'battlefield 5' . Meaning it might hint that it's not a sequel to BF 3 and 4 yeaaaaaaa.

BF3 and BF4 have garbage eye burning lighting (sun is more powerful than real one + nuclear explosion)

There is already Forgotten Hope, Project Reality 1942, Days of Infamy (Insurgency) + the one for BF2, forgot name.
And Red Orchestra 2 obviously.

So why even bother with WW2?

'cause Battlefield stands for BIG ASS HOLLYWOOD EXPLOSIONS AND PRODUCTION VALUES, and we hadn't had a WW2 game with those for a while.

Yeah, let's forget Hardline(shit) and Battlefront(which is what DICE worked on after BF4 I think), then it's really not a yearly series.

There is a difference between the main episodes and some cashgrab spin off. The main BF series is not yearly released.

Interestingly, "cash grab spin-off" (BC2) was only NuBattlefield game that Ive played to some extent. BF3 was the last BF game I've bought, and I dropped it p fast. I couldn't care less for what came later.

It would be interesting if this is based around some different environment, either WW1 or distant future, just so I can see people get hyped about it and scream how it will be different and unique and thus deserves everyone's support... only to discover that it is same crap as always after they get to actually play the game.

They already have a distant-future Battlefield game scheduled to release for this fall, it's called TITANFALL 2.

One of Dice devs said on twitter

We think you will be blown away from the reveal. Don't miss it.

Just putting some final touches on a little thing for Friday. The internet is going to crumble!

This really gonna be WW 1 or WW2. IT MUST BE. If it would be reboot of 1942, same mechanics with new graphics and total destruction..... insta buy !

 

[Makabb]

I also doubt it's WW1, unless they go alternative-reality with crazy Jet-Zeppelins dropping off Mecha-Kaisers.

I think you might be onto something there, they might do a futuristic WW 1 setting.

What if it is, Battlefield 1942 vs 2142?

Someone on Reddit found this while searching EA servers for anything related to new Battlefield https://achievements.integration.gameservices.ea.com/achievements/icons/51302_190132_50844-8-208.png
So it might be WWI after all.

In case this isn't fake, Battlefield I is a dumb as fuck name.

That's probably a Zeppelin flying over.

I had more fun with BF2 for PS2 than with BF3 or BF4 for PC.

 

[Makabb]

yes yes yes

WW1 BF and proper mechanics and oh god this WILL be the best BF

 

[Makabb]

HERE WE GO






It must be a zeppelin blocking out the sun. Either that or some massive bf 2111114444422222 spaceship.

 

[Excidium II]

Will there be female soldiers?

 

[Makabb]

Or the guy is sitting in a trench and tank is going over him ?

 

[Ivan]

lol I thought the game was called

Battlefield World

 

[Makabb]

Supposed to be called Battlefield 1

 

[J_C]

EA and Dice will be smug as hell as they steal all the thunder of NuCoD.

 

[Spectacle]

The main concern I see of a WW1 battlefield is that it will surely be kwans vs krauts, even though US forces only played a relatively minor role, at the end of the war.

 

[Sodafish]

Yeah I'm getting U571 flashbacks already.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Supposed to be called Battlefield 1

Why not Battlefield 1916?

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

So now I'm reading rumors that it is really called Battlefield I and placed in 1920. Probably some alternative WWI where the war still rages on? Or where Germany won a' la Wolfenstein TNO? Probably a better choice as a historically accurate WWI game would cause too much nationalist butthurt.

Fuck I never cared about Battlefield but this one has me intrigued.
