Battlefield 1 Revealed

[Dark Drakan]

So rumours were true and Battlefield has gone to WWI for its next outing and it's named Battlefield 1 (understand logic behind name in one sense with it being WW1 game but it's odd choice in another sense).

Battlefield 1 goes back to WW1 and feels like the most modern shooter of this generation

What is it with the gaming industry and not knowing how to count properly?

:laugh: I thought the same too. Though guess it helps if you want to stack them by time period order.

I'm up for it. I miss the days where there were a **** ton of WW2 games, but barely any game set in WW1. The only one I can remember is Necrovision.

But Battlefield taking on the setting, pretty cool. Curious to see how they're gonna incorporate tactical gameplay in this one. And guns. I mean, there were no holo sights or mountable grenade launchers back then. LOL

Technically guys the first game was called 1942 there has been no battlefield 1

That aside I am hyped for this especially after how disappointed I was with the cod reveal.

Safe to say DICE's won this round. Just check out the like-dislike ratio in this video, and then check out the one in Infinite Warfare. That's what you get when you stop listening to your fans.

I have very fond memories of Battlefield 1942 and I can see the sense in the name based on time period its just a little odd to follow BF4 with BF1 (not including Hardline of course).

Im interested to hear more on the destruction aspect because according to some sources they were asked to scale it back by testers because the maps were being destroyed so badly. That intrigues me as the series seemed to hit a wall with its scale of destruction and I want to see what they can do with todays tech in that regard now.

There has been Verdun recently too and its set in WW1.

I hope they change the music though. The tecno stuff doesn't fit at all.

Since when have video games actually told the difference between WW1 and 2? WW1 was basically a ton of trench warfare, which wouldn't really make for an exciting game especially since Battlefield, while basically the same as CoD to be honest, tries to sell people on battles on a larger and more varied scale. I imagine this game will be yet another WW2 shooter without actually being one.

But WW1 was pretty much the last war to use horses during combat, so maybe you can fly a plane in to a guy riding a horse.

Not really. At least when it comes to 3 and 4. Haven't played Hardline.

I beg to differ. Have you read the details of what they aim to do in this game? If not, then go read it.

It's being pretty delusional if you think CoD and Battlefield are really that different. Hell, Battlefield now only exist to knick the heels of CoD. It lost its personal identity a long time ago. I know I'm not alone thinking these samey military shooters saturating the market have overstayed their welcome by a long shot.

I'm still having a hard time coming around to anything made by DICE since they absolutely ruined Battlefront. Yes, I'm still salty about that.

guess my dreams and fantasies of bad company 3 are ruined this year too

Really? Last time I checked, COD was a one man army game that relies on twitch shooting skills and fast reflexes on maps thought for a contained amount of players, while Battlefield is a team based, class heavy shooter, with emphasis on players' role in the team and tons on vehicles on large maps thought out for large battles where being a one man army pays like looking for apricots in December.

Yes it's gotten more arcade-y over the years but saying it's the same as COD, THAT is the stretch. I can understand your saltiness because they messed up Battlefront but try not to make stuff up cause of it.

@Chancey289: Seriously, please start editing your posts. I'm getting tired of having to always merge your double posts together.

And I'm not a massive fan of shooter games. Anyone would normally just pass it off as them all looking the same, even if they aren't. You'd probably have to be someone that has played a couple of CoD and Battlefield games to be able to spot the key differences. Either way, I'm not interested in CoD anymore.
