Thats all I gathered from half an hour in the beta. What a terrible WWI game.

It's alt reality WW 1.5 at best.
My biggest complaint was that the map was pretty boring. Felt too big, kind of like the one snow(think it was the snow one) from 2142.
Play verdun
an alt reality where charging at someone from horseback is a viable tactic
It's LITERALLY EA™ STAR WARS™ Battlefront: Battlefield 'The Great War' Edition: Steam Punk Boogaloo.
but this is the first Battlefield I really enjoy
The french should have just not been part of
the game period
Why would anybody want to play a country that surrendered shortly after the war broke out
When will Sup Forums stop their indirect shilling and stop flooding the catalog with threads of this terrible game?
If you really wanted it to flop, you'd outright ignore it, instead of being the marketing tools the companies think all political radicals are and keep talking over and over about a specific product.
Sup Forums is used to being tools, it's their only purpose.
Same for SJWs.
These ''people'' are way too dumb and lazy to do anything of relevance, but their ability to spend hours and hours talking online about meaningless crap like videogames is something that these companies have been paying attention to for years now.

I do admit I've had fun in the game when we've had to crawl through shell holes, avoiding enemy machineguns, and make it to no man's land,
then calling in artillery on the enemy-held part of the line and blowing them up. The bugs and the engine just make me annoyed though

Sniper domination is the worst its ever been since all the other guns are fucking useless at range and Snipers benefit most from the addition of the bayonet charge. They should allow all classes to have access to an unscoped bolt action, but fuck good design ideas.
...
After reading Infantry Attacks by Erwin Rommel which accounts his battlefield experience in world war 1, it's painfully obvious that this game is meant to be a Battlefront version of Battlefield with WW1 skins on the vehicles and weapons.
It's also origin-only, so I'm going to pass.
Normal people are voting trump, lol
Hillary can't even remember state briefings anymore, she's unfit for president
Tanks are already fucking slow, making them slower would make them boring and useless. Fuck off
Seriously though. The randomized skins in the beta are going to be replaced by a character customizer in the full game the same way Battlefront had. Expect a huge nontroversy the same way The Division had when the playerbase chooses 95% white males.
I'm going to laugh at retards like you when they aren't
A majority of america is white, the primary demographic of every single one of these games is white people. If the skin customization is there, you won't see many blacks
Hey man, laugh all you want, I'm not buying the game. Its garbage for tons of reasons that aren't forced diversity.
But if you're right, that'll be one more reason why its garbage.
People actually got mad about that?
It is a WW1 arcade shooter that was never going to be realistic to every detail, but who gives a shit if it is fun. The Game is fun, looks good, and the sound design is great. I am passed at the DNC, but I can see myself playing this off and on for over 200 hours like BF4.
Its the same dumb logic that some devs take when they attempt to pander to markets that don't exist.
Feminists want games more about them! So some dev makes a game with more female leads and the game doesn't do well at all and then they realize women just don't play games
What, The Division thing? Yeah, it was the subject of a few clickbait articles. I don't think anyone got "mad," people just had to deal with another wave of "See! Gamers ARE racist misogynists" facebook articles.
>black soldiers
>no understanding how the French and British used the colonies including blacks and Arabs in their war
it's fun for an hour or two
then it becomes boring. as the mechanics are laid bare, they're shallow and the game is too chaotic too much.
The brunt of WWI was in europe, where most of the battles, political influences and tirades came from.
>he thinks the major battles in france were fought by blacks
The British and French had a shit load of colonists in the western front. India was heasily involved in the western front.
No they weren't
the huge majority of the millions of brits that died were ethnic brits
>It is a WW1 arcade shooter that was never going to be realistic to every detail
This is not a WW1 shooter, this is literally COD with WW1 era weaponry, it's not even close to anything resembling a WW1 engagement.
...
>Randomized
They aren't randomized, each class of each faction has their skin locked to a specific one.
>tfw the game is not very good but I keep coming back because of the sexy Russian lever-action
feels orgasmic when you one-shot kill like 4 enemies in a row with it
Would you rather sit in a trench and look through a telescope for hours and die immediately going over the wall?
I actually really like the map, despite the popular opinion of it being too big and flat. I'm not a sniper either, before you jump to conclusions. I just enjoy the authentic desert feel of the map, any smaller and it would have felt too much like Silk Road. People that complain about the size are probably spawning on foot at E,A, or G. Don't fuck with E unless you have a plane or plan to stay there the entire match as a flack cannoneer. Don't fuck with G or A unless you have a tank capable of taking out other tanks. Just hover around between B,C,D and F if you want to enjoy the infantry aspect of the game. Simple as that.
This is what I never understood about Sup Forums and its anger towards this game for not being accurate. You faggots know who's making the game, and their recent track record, along with who is publishing the game. The signs were all there, but it seems everyone here likes to ignore the obvious in favor of shitposting. Why the fuck would anyone involved in making this make a slow ass WW1 shooter? Remember BF is just the other side of the CoD coin casuals flock to when they've "grown out" of CoD.
>TANKS ARE TOO FAST
>can literally overtake tanks on foot
you people aren't even trying anymore

no one gives a shit about frogs
XOBX SIZED MEAT
That was WW2 scrub. French were badass as fuck in WW1, and they're surrender 25 years later was a result of the huge loss of life they suffered in the great war.
Yes, what's the point of making a WW1 game otherwise?
Even more so a game with the fucking gameplay of dozens of FPSs?
The US never deployed black soldiers to combat in WW1; they were relegated to support roles like chopping down trees at best.
The Harlem Hellfighters were in fact specifically placed under French command because american soldiers refused to serve alongside them.
But lol let's just whitewash that.
Anyone who defends blacks being in this game also loves pic related.
what a quality thread
Are you fuckong stupid. France was ine od the countries that fought the most in ww1

>either do it the way i want it to be or don't do it at all
someone was spoiled as fuck as a kid.

too obvious
They're both shit.
Only problems I have are
>auto/semi-auto beat the scare amount of bolt-action guns
>bolt-action guns are now snipers
>no fleshed out melee system
>French DLC
I mean, it looks fun and from what I've seen of Vinny's streams all the guns look like total shit. It gives me some WW2 vibes
Not an argument
>clean as fuck
Do you mean dead?
Because last I checked BF3-4 had more players than hardline.
It's just a game

"Not an argument" is not an argument
Is that SHAQ?
Woah... its like....
World War 1 was MORE than trench warfare....
Is Armchair Historian a term because that describes 70% of the people who complain about the game
Well to be fair that was a viable tactic before automatic weapons. Iirc cavalry was still a thing at the start of WW1
v i d e o g a m e
It is considering you went for an ad hominem instead of addressing my last point.
>people wanted a game with ground combat and prototype weapons
>game comes out with prototype weapons
>DUDE NO WE WANTED TRENCH WARFARE
You're retarded. They don't want you who want to sit around in trenches for 20+ minutes. They want the guys who religiously buy every other BF, COD, and every other FPS on the market. You don't matter because you're a part of a small group of people who give a shit about an accurate WW1 setting, which is fine, but you're not going to get the game you want from these people. I mean come on, you really think EA would let them do that?
Honestly, studios can make just as much money off a game that dies in a matter of weeks than a game that sticks around for a decade if the hype is strong enough. If the game sells millions of copies in the opening hours, but all interest dies up soon after, you just made a huge profit and can forget about paying the game's dev staff for DLC that may or may not bring back the playerbase. I mean, why risk it? Just get started on Battlefield: BC, where everyone is running around with automatic rock slings or something.
Again, what's the fucking point of making a WW1 game that plays like a game set in a modern setting?
Wait actually, what's the point of making a WW1 game that uses weapons that only a very small minorities of soldiers used?
>bolt-action guns are now snipers
Well yes, that is what bolt actions did, even in WW1
The soldiers themselves are minorities, so it works out
Salty
It's painful to know that some of my retarted acquaintances are going to pester me about what was the best semi-auto of WW1 just because I hunt and do some sport shooting. When I say semi-autos were not really used in WW1 they'll tell me I'm wrong because they played Battlefield 1 and it had semi-autos.
There are way too many retards who think CoD and BF are historically accurate out there.
...
>Again, what's the fucking point of making a WW1 game that plays like a game set in a modern setting?
Jesus fucking Christ you're dense

Not all of WW1 was trench warfare.
France was the only major combatant on the European front to deploy African soldiers in any considerable number (America being the second, but the amount they deployed was hardly considerable)
Several British officers wanted to follow in France's footsteps, after seeing the success they had, and with their own troops from India.
So a few of these officers, chief among them Winston Churchill, tried to rally for a million troop deployment of African conscripts, but this attempt was blocked and thrown away by colonial officials and higher military staff. Black British soldiers during the war, fighting on the Western Front, would have been British Citizens, not Colonial conscripts (They were few in number, but several achieved officer ranks)
Germany had no intention or desire to deploy colonial troops in Europe, and made no attempt to do so. They did employ naturalized citizens from before the war, in rare occasions.
(Fun-Fact: The German Schutztruppe in Africa was considered a separate and distinct military entity. It was not under the jurisdiction of the Deutsches Heer)
Italy also made an attempt to get African Conscripts to the front, but a number of reasons just had the attempt fizzle out before any could reach Europe.
>lever action
The market itself is 90% white men, maybe even more than that. Blacks, if they play videogames at all, pretty much exclusively play fighting games, and women play almost exclusively popularized titles / shallow flash-tier crap.
But this doesn't matter to publishers who want to use controversy to market their game, and it doesn't matter to """"journalists"""" who want to sell advertisement hits by drawing as many eyeballs to an article as possible. So the end result is manufactured "controversies" where any slight issue is blown out of proportion to generate ad clicks and drive marketing.
In other words: Nobody got mad that everyone played white characters in The Division. However some unscrupulous cuck journalists figured they could make some bucks with headlines declaring that was actually happening.
That British one is white
>thinking i'm the guy who responded to you
it's not ad hominem if your character or experience directly affects your opinion. in this case, I agree with him that you do sound like a spoiled cunt.
if that were true then necrovision should have dropped all supernatural elements and action gameplay, because it's not "ww1 enough".
I think BF1 is bad for a number of reasons but being mad because it's not boltshitting is definitely low on that list.
>can literally overtake tanks on foot
I tried this, and you can not overtake the German A7V heavy tank on foot.
Only when it is going up-hill was I able to catch up with it.
Is there a cooler name for a rifle than the Mondragon?
I like how burst fire is now useless
Go away dicecuck
Trench warfare was not what has been popularized in media.
Start reading first hand accounts of the battles from people who were actually there. Yes, it was hellish. No, it was not just "mass wave attacks of infantry into killzones over and over". Most of the battlefield theatre wasn't even trench warfare!
>Blacks, if they play videogames at all, pretty much exclusively play fighting games
Objectively wrong. The FGC is full of melanin enhanced humans, but the average nigger is all about 2K and Madden.
I mean, the Indian makes a bit of sense though 1 in 4 is way over-represented
Not all of it was trench warfare, but you're a fucking retard if you think Battlefield 1 is even remotely similar, even in an idealized/fantasized way, to the actual combat in WW1.
I can't tell if the vehicles are to powerful or if there are just to many for that awful map. And there's a hell of a lot more reused assets from SW Battlefront than just some voices. Also... I hate most of the guns; the ttk seems way too high considering how jerky the automatics are.
>Going on Sup Forums
>"It's just a game"
wew
>le black not nigger meme
Nice one reddit.
Pretty much everything on the west front after the first few months was trench warfare though, because new technology made defense way OP compared to offense
East front was more mobile, and the colonies didn't have much trench warfare
Vehicles are really strong because no one has access to the mid-level anti-vehicle weaponry so you're stuck with running directly at them with Assault grenades and doing 25 damage before getting blown to shit, and that's assuming the game felt nice enough not to lock off half your kit or spawn you without a gun. Every single match has had people complaining that they are spawning without guns or gadgets, its kind of hilarious.
Get dat ass banned.
