Why didn't they just make a WWII game if they were going to fuck it up by adding tons of submachine guns and the same run-and-gun, head on a swivel bullshit from BF4?

Because that is an MP-18

because then it might be a decent game and not a modern BF game

My theory is that they chose WWI because most people don't know jack shit about it, thus they can force diversity like women soldiers and tons of black people without getting called out for it by normies. Everybody knows WWII so they wouldn't be able to get away with a bunch of female Nazi troops running around.

Yeah and 10,000 at most were produced during the last year of the war.
It's laughable to call this a World War 1 game. After seeing the gameplay it looks like they didn't even care about the setting at all. There's going to be no 1914 style gameplay here. They just made a WW2 game without making a WW2 game, which means nobody gets what they wanted.

Looking at the game right now they can easily pull a hardline and have a ww2 game in no time

>expecting anything realistic from a run and gun game.

Looks fun to me, dumb faggot.

You must love sucking shit through a straw if you like this miserable pile of feces

> Looks fun

No. Verdun is fun. The looks like an incredibly mediocre modern shooter with a WWI gimmick slapped on.

Get mad, you massive dumb faggot.

>modern shooters
Why even bother.

Not asking for realism, just respect for a setting that they KNEW would be hard to pull off while remaining atmospheric.

Were you expecting them to make a triple-A mainline Battlefield title be a slow, realistic shooter with trench warfare and no man's lands and everything being properly slower paced?

Because if you did, you're a damn fool.

>Verdun looks fun

Top fucking kek.

I just wanted to shoot howitzers at people 10 kms away who are actually playing the game.

> shitty biplanes shooting down observation balloons
this triggers me

are they gonna have destructible environments?

i doubt it because they didnt have RPGs in ww1... right?

>they never played World at War
>they never played Red Orchestra
>they never actually played Battlefied

Bolt-actions can be part of quick gameplay too you ignorant cunts

There's no point I've had enough of children like you ruining the industry

>respect

Bullshit faggot, no one really gives a fuck besides shitposters. Sure it's a bit annoying, but in the end only a real faggot would care so much.

as long as a player can reload while sprinting, it's possible

Good, an accurate WW1 style game with trenches would be fucking boring and terrible.

See Verdun.

>JAQCUES


ITS FUCKING SPELT JACQUES YOU FUCKS.

AHHHHHH.

>the war that was defined by artillery
>the war that introduced stuff like hand and rifle grenades
I'm sure all the buildings will be just fine.

Np faggot :^)

>Expecting realism
>In one of the most unrealistic modern FPS franchises around

You're actually fucking retarded.

>The first purposely-designed infantry anti-tank rifle was designed by Germany. The Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr large-calibre (13.2mm) rifle was capable of penetrating the armor of the newer generations of tanks and allowed a chance at stopping them. The high recoil of the rifle was very hard on the firer, sometimes breaking the collar bone or dislocating the shoulder.

Where any Anti Tank rifles mentioned during the demo?

>defending EA

Who is the real faggot now

Because they don't need to make a good game, they need to just hype you up and make you buy it.

Jaqcues pls calm down

Not defending, just being realistic, you huge dumb faggot.

No. The only anti tank weapons shown were some kind of grenade and some kind of mounted anti-armor cannon.

I think you can switch out for anti tank ammo or something

Realism is for faggots. You have already proved this mama's boy

Delet this

didnt know they used airships like that in WW1

can it be shot down?

ITS FUCKING BATTLEFIELD WHAT DID YOU EXPECT.

HONESTLY DID YOU THINK THEY WOULD GO FOR REALISM?

Are you that much of a dumb cunt?

Except the rest of the world knows and is taught a lot about WWI, it's only Americans who aren't taught that much about it because they did fuck all in the war and Americans are extremely self centred.

Stormtroopers mostly used pistols and hacking people to fucking death in a brutal melee.

All you have to do is focus the game on assault troopers rather than the line infantry and you can be accurate and run and gun as fuck. Instead it's really just the same old same old.

The big inaccuracy I'm concerned about is Austria having tanks.

What did you except, you stupid faggot

>They just made a WW2 game without making a WW2 game, which means nobody gets what they wanted.
This is exactly how I feel. Why didnt they just make a WW2 game? It would have been 1000% better and they wouldnt have to pull everything they could out of their ass to try and make this as modern as a shooter as possible while at the same time ruining any historical interest of the setting. They straight up made the german army look like nazis anyway.

Yup, it bursts into flames and crashes into the field nonscripted. They did a full hour of multiplayer earlier, it should be on YouTube.

Every country is extremely self-centered. What doesn't matter to a country doesn't get taught.

Not that I know of, but that exact rifle was shown very briefly in the first preview trailer, where the armored guy is running alongside a tank

i cant find the link can you help me out?

No, what people are saying is that if they wanted to retain a fast-paced, high intensity design philosophy they probably shouldn't have chosen fucking World War I as a setting. Doing so leaves you with two options: Make the gameplay slow-paced with niche appeal or make the fact that it's set in WWI stand at odds with the gameplay style.

>tfw you'll have to wait maybe another 4 years or more for a possible new WWII battlefield game

Even worse is that all the people trying so hard to appear not to be a CoD fanboy are screaming "but who cares about muh realism" and eating this faux WWI bullshit up.

Because of nazis. No nazis in ww1, at least not until the eventual DLC.

My problem is that it gave off a more Battlefront vibe than it did Battlefield.

If they would have just said some stupid shit like "We of course took some artistic liberties and asked ourselves, what if the automatic guns were invented for a wide use on the beginning of the war and blimps saw wide use outside bombing raids." After that they would have a free pass to have whatever in the game, but no they went with the "GUYS THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT WW1 WAS LIKE LMAO"

Why do history buffs come out of the wood work when they said it wasn't going to be a historically accurate representation of the time?
Wish you autist would fuck off already.

We're talking about a game series where you can eject from a jet, plop some c4 on a helicopter, blow it up, then land back in the same jet, and fly away safely.

>Wanting something based in a certain era of war that actually represents that war makes you a history buff
I want the actual autists to leave.

t. American

So is the twist of the German single-player campaign going to be that you were playing as Hitler the entire time?

Calling them history buffs was a joke, you actual asperger faggot.
It's a game, it doesn't have to be an exact copy nor should it unless that's why they're specifically setting out to do.

This

Niggers don't matter but we were still taught about slavery, checkmate, europoor.

I wish

>I was only pretending to be retarded!

How am I retarded?

Not mentioned but there's one right here

I actually prefer bolt action in those games.
It is almost like sniping but without the optics.

Germany used them for a while to bomb London.
They were somewhat viable because they could ascend higher than airplanes at the time and could sit safely above the clouds. Eventually the British adapted, though.
I don't think they were ever actually used above actual battlefields though.

So they could say that they did a WWI game?
Just making usa relevant should have tell you that it was going to be shit

so historically accurate

Wow these dudes are literally all the same person
This cuck

If you want this to be a ww1 sim then better start demanding mod tools from Dice.

>implying

>not a modern BF game
>they blatantly use the same code and shit for the biplanes as the jet
>they handle like rc planes
>boost
bad b8

this is fallout 4 all over again
im not gonna play it, but if you actually expected a realistic WW1 shooter from dice you're fucking stupid

this post was made by me

Heres my (you)

Wow, carrying these messages between the rear and the front and occasionally seeing some shelling sure will be amazing

>black hand

>you will never fight in one of the greatest wars of civilization bravely giving your life for your people and nation
>only for some faggots in Sweden to write in niggers as the heroes of the whole war

>Battlefield 1942
>Japanese soldiers had German weapons only
>German main tank was the Panzer IV with the short barrel
>all allied nations, even the Russians were equipped with Enfield rifles, Thompsons, M1911s and BARs
Why did nobody complain about this?

>expecting early war WW1 when tanks weren't used by both sides until very late war and Battlefield has always been about combined arms

How fucking stupid do you actually have to be?

>M-MUH REALISM
>I WANT FUCKING TRENCHES
>I WANT SHITTY AND SLOW WEAPONS THAT AREN'T FUN


Jesus Christ Sup Forums you fucking suck dick in game design.

>Let's take the shooting for example. You can pick a BAR and go Rambo with it and rack up a decent number of kills before being sniped or blasted to pieces by a tank. Problem is, the BAR was a support weapon, and was incredibly inaccurate unless it had its tripod deployed or its user prone. The whole game tosses every scrap of reality and chucks it out a tenth story window. LMG's like the Type99 and DP are used like assault rifles. SMG's like the Thompson or Mp40 are amazingly accurate, horribly weak, given to "medics", and have almost NO range to them. Rifles are thrown to the wayside despite being the primarily used weapons of the war, and both they and the Bazookas are perfectly accurate. GRENADES DAMAGE TANKS!! Many famous/key weapons aren't in the game like the Russian PPSh and Mosin Nagant, the German Panzerfaust, FG42, and Gwher43. The Japanese Arisaka, which was one of the ONLY weapons they used in the war. (the Type5 doesn't exist) The American M1A1 Carbine isn't in there, there are no rifle grenades, and the British don't have the Sten Mk.IV or the Bren LMG.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I wouldnt worry OP the gpu you own wont even run this on low. You wont be playing it

>charging with an anti-tank weapon
i bet he fires it from the hip too

>Want to make a fast paced run and gun shooter
>choose WWI as a setting
for what purpose

>No mosin nagant

Absolute travesty.

I'm more interested in that armature studio making that online WWII shooter.

Marketing. Are you really this fucking dumb? Were you born in the fucking slums?

What game are you talking about here?

At least those guns were actually iconic of their war, and not just because of the video games surrounding them.

ONLY snipers have bolt-actions in Battlefield 1. It's a joke. Nobody is asking for realism. That's so beyond all expectation already. They are just asking why this is a World War 1 game at all?

My grandad had the bren in the war, said it overheated like shit and sometimes you had to piss on it to cool it down

youtube.com/watch?v=19hohCtdJ4Y

because historical accuracy takes a back seat to gameplay. try re-creating the battle of Verdun, where trees were blown out of the ground by artillery and struck by another shell while still in midair, and watch the map popularity drop like a rock from the incessant respawning. battlefield's popularity is in making games that play like a historical-themed colosseum deathmatch.

see: youtube.com/watch?v=aI2Z0avJuc4

>germany unnecessarily used a mauser action that was almost twice as slow as this

none of the british tank crew in the trailer were wearing splatter masks either, but nobody really cares because it isn't a great loss.

>It's a game, it doesn't have to be an exact copy nor should it unless that's why they're specifically setting out to do.


You wont expect to find a fucking P90 or a M16 in fucking WW2 would you nigger?

Not if they specified they weren't being historically accurate. You fucking double nigger.

>Make a game about the war nobody cares about
>Marketing
You must be Australian

It's a quote from a contemporary BF1942 review on GameFAQs. Battlefield being inaccurate isn't new, nor is people complaining about it.

fuck you, that would be awesome

Meant to quote

Same thing in later titles with U.S Marines running around with AK Variants and Russians with M4's and Chinese with european guns

Because World War 1 had lots of neat and unique vehicles, and vehicles are the whole point of Battlefield.

It's not so much about them caring about making a WW1 game, its more about showing how great niggers are in history.
