World War I

>World War I
>soldiers are walking around their trenches standing straight-up with their heads poking out
>main character is a female Muslim on a horse who uses swords
>planes move like modern jets do
>men carry machine guns around with them to shoot from the hip
>gas masks don't have manually-pumped ventilators, can be put on in less than a second, and completely stop the effects of all gasses
>both sides just charge through No Man's Land to engage each other
>tanks are efficient and fast

Why do they even pretend this is World War I? Why not just say it has a WWI aesthetic but is a completely fictional war?

It's a fucking video game.

First post best post

YOU'RE A FUCKING WHITE MALE

you might have walked into a room just now that was not your intended destination

YOU'RE THE SAME FUCKING WHITE MALE

are you even trying anymore

What a shame

They're not pretending it's WW1, but having it be 100% realistic is retarded. Do you know how fucking boring a realistic WW1 Battlefield would actually be? Your guns would be jamming every other shot, jeeps would be lucky to break 30 MPH, tanks would be breaking down left and right, and aerial dog fights would probably end with two or three casualties tops, until they started to run out of fuel and disengaged to book it back to where they could refuel for the next flight.

It would be fucking BORING, and no-one would buy it.

It doesn't even have a WW1 asthetic, it just looks like a modern hollywood alt history movie

Exactly. Which is why they should have either A) admitted to the pure goddamn fiction of it all, or B) picked a different fucking war.

There's a lot of 'em, ya know.

>they HAD to choose a different war
>its the rules!
>THE RULES!

realism is much to video gamey

...

>but having it be 100% realistic is retarded
This is honestly the worst strawman I see posted around here. Every single time a military shooter is brought up. Every. Single. Goddamn. Time.

pretty much
>lol what your simulating what it would be like to race a car? disgusting
>meanwhile ill simulate how im a 3 foot dwarf in a world of 7 foot tall babes.
>ffsomenumber, true art

Not everyone enjoys boring-ass simulators, fuck off.

you can greentext like that for every single battlefield game ever made.

battlefield jets in the current games fly at 90mph despite being supersonic jets

>I'll throw another strawman at him

Not him, a realistic WWI shooter could be fun, but that's not a strawman, retard.

Add infantry sitting a trench for months with front line moving and you'll get a complete picture. Exactly why we don't see many WWI games around.

What strawman you mouthbreather? Simulators are a different type of game, one which is painfully boring to a lot of people, deal with it.

>wanting WW1 realism
>wanting shellshock, trench foot, polio, tuberculosis

MUSTARD GAS

make a game about the sappers and tunnelers. i wanna fight in the dark in cramped spaces and lay shit tons of mines under no mans land in belgium and when it detonates the explosion can be heard in london.

Verdun is a fun game that balances realism and game fairly well, yet BF can't even be bothered to try something new.

>Admitted to the pure goddamn fiction of it all

Show me where Battlefield has stated its a gritty realistic war simulation. Ever.

Speaking of WWI games, is that Ubisoft sidescroller any good?

>It has to be a boring simulator or a retarded piece of shit with no semblance to reality
>there is no inbetween

So, you want to play a boring simulator like ARMA, but set in WWI?

>caricaturizing the idea "minimum of real elements" as "100% realistic boring ass simulator"
>not a strawman

Go back to school, retard.

Go play Verdun, RO2 and ARMA, its clearly what you want OP.
Stop being mad at Batttlefield doing what its doing for literally years

Fucking this man. Goddamn. Going by this logic, Advanced Warfare shouldn't have ever existed because exo suits dont exist as of yet, being fiction, so they should have developed a different game because "Muh rules!"

Goddamn you if you fucking care about realism in a Battlefield game, you're a fucking cancerous manchild if you complain about a sped-up, bearable WWI game.

It's part of Ubisoft's "we also make generic artsy feel-good indieshit, so we can't possibly be a heartless corporation" collection.

Dice will be hanged on the day of the rope

This is your answer samefag

m8 there are racing games and there are racing simulators, go play a ww1 Arma mod

It does have a minimum of real elements sperg. Your minimum is not the same as their minimum.

Literally every Battlefield game is an extremely exaggerated version of war anyway. There is no war that's ever looked even remotely like what you see in video games. 99.99999% of the time you're sitting at a base doing nothing. WWII was mostly just marching, and actual battles were just hiding in cover.

It's a fucking action multiplayer shooter, none of them have ever purported to be realistic in any way.

So, in no case we are dealing with a "100% boring ass simulator". Thanks for proving my point, idiot.

I wonder what kind of minimum elements a retard like you would consider fine. Something like "It has humans with weapons" and the cover says WWI probably.

Don't you have PT to do soldier? Who gave you permission to shit post on a Mongolian gardening forum?

the return to bolt action rifles alone will probably be enough realism to go around.

>WW1
>mfw they will make USA the "good guys" in every map again
>probably russkies too
>no serbia to remove kebab with

>giving money to EA

Serbia had major battles with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, not kebab.

Do you really want politics bullshit "who killed who" and months of trenchwars? World War I was stupid to being with

Who NOT BUYING here?

It's true though. Vidya is meant to entertain.

I'am NOT BUYING THIS CRAP

says the loser lurking Sup Forums at 330am.

wut a faggot

>Advanced Warfare shouldn't have ever existed because exo suits dont exist as of yet
It's set in the future though.

>planes move like modern jets do
>he thinks these planes weren't maneuverable as fuck

Their problem was speed and altitude limit, they were good at everything else.

If it was truly accurate it would probably be quite a boring game

Also it takes more than one bullet to kill someone and you're complaining about that you dense fuck?

Kysmm

They had a guy with a knights helmet firing a minigun.

And one of the core elements of game design is the marriage of mechanics with theme. Same with books and internal consistency.

Not that you'd know that because you seem to be a literal shit-eater

> vidya gaem fiction with a twist vs real life fact

> arcade shooter =/= simulated realism shooter

it would still be fun, but it would play like ARMA TIMES INFINITY

it will take you WEEKS just to advance a couple hundred yards and to capture a point

it would be the biggest / most tedious sandbox MMO FPS yet, and it's an entirely different niche

>market your game on how realistic/true to life it is
>get called out on anachronisms
>"i-it's just a video game"

love this meme

So was battlefield 1942.

Since when are battlefield games realistic?

Idiot

If its a white man on the cover of a fictional game universe
>Gaming needs to grow up,

If its a non white guy on a game where historically the vast majority were white men who tragically lost their lives defending against tyrants.

>Its a video game who cares.

Exactly. So why not just say it's a fictional war?

You're ranting and raving about realism in a game that's best known here for a .gif of a fighter pilot destroying his pursuer with a fucking C4 satchel then gliding his parachute back to his freefalling plane.

>Why do they even pretend this is World War I?
think of the target demographic, OP

>they're retards

why do the sides of his lips look so weird in the right pic

>main character
You haven't read anything about the game have you? There isn't one main character. In the campaign, and how gives a shit about a campaign for battlefield? You play battlefield games for the multi-player. In the single player you play as a number of soldiers.
Get fucked.
