    It was linking to an external page, and that's 404. But the option to buy within Origin is now working.

    I see the Collector's Edition comes with an 'Exclusive Patch'. The rich won't have to deal with server lag or poor netcode. #the1%



























    I know its an actual patch that can sown on to a jacket/shirt. :P

    Erm.... hmmm.... they should have used the Battlefield 1942 theme for the trailer?! Curse them! :P

    This looks fantastic, in my opinion. I hope they produce a solid single-player campaign - they have a lot to draw upon. The Marne, the Somme, Ypres, Cambrai, Mesopotamia, even Brusilov's offensive in 1916 if they follow multiple characters on different fronts.

    I think I will be buying this on release. :D

    EDIT: If ever there was a reason to buy this game for the sake of buying it, it would be to demonstrate to DICE and Activision-Blizzard that gamers are tired of near-future warfare. I hope this breaks records in sales and it might make developers realise that they can save money by visiting history instead of dreaming up laser guns for the future.

    Commander mode is going to consist of the commander forcing the soldiers to walk slowly In a straight line into a hail of bullets

    Bravo DICE. I was fully sure they were going to follow CoD into the futuristic rubbish and instead they've tried something totally new. The use of Seven Nation Army for the trailer was a nice touch too.

    I spewed a fair amount of bile at BF4, but this looks interesting.
    I will be judging any beta as representative of the final product however.

    jackfrags has a video up and he's gushing

    but the big take away I grabbed 2 minutes in (and I paused to post this) vehicles will now be classes of their own and no longer hop in and hop out.

    Wow

    Where have I heard that before...

    No more unkillable LittleBird chopper whores !!!
    Hopefully no more upgrades and scope addons and camos etc

    Back to basics I hope !

    Also....parachutes weren't really used much in WW1 (some cases they were - but not like later years) so that'll be interesting.

    I would assume also that the Commander will be gone

    Can't wait to see all the details though

    Feck me the game looks awesome! Absolutely delighted with the WW1 setting. The best thing about this will hopefully be the lack of "easy mode" lock on weapons. Players will actually require skill to take down air vehicles!! Also no stupid gadgets that launch rockets or remote control bombs. Just shovels to batter each other with! Excellent!

    Hopefully commander mode is gone because nothing worse when it becomes a one sided mess because only 1 team has one.

    I assume PETA are going to throw a wobbler as we move from jeep stuff to horse stuff (I hope :) )

    I just hope to christ they do not have anything other than the visuals from battlefront... None of that power up pick ups vehicles pick ups.

    Battlefront apart from its looks was a souless bottomfeeder.

    It'll be interesting to see how the Tank and vehicle classes work. I'll miss running up to a tank with a blow torch and robbing his tank as they jump out.

    wow you are all going to be very disappointed. does no one else think they are just going to re-skin BattleFront !!!

    Trailer looks amazing but its just a cutscenes not game play.

    WW1 suits a re-skin of battlefront because weapons\vehicles probably have little or no customization.

    i hoped for a BF 2142 era, like a mix of titanfall and Battlefield.

    oh well.

    Worst case scenario it's a BF Heroes skin of Battlefront, but I would doubt they're that stupid.

    To me it didn't show much, in-engine trailers for 1 min can always be made to look great, but we all know that changes with actual gameplay, I'm positive it will look as good as battlefront on the graphics end, but i'm worried about the restrictions of world war I and been stuck to bi-planes and no choppers etc.

    If the game is playable at the moment, i don't know why they decided to use no gameplay in the trailer at all, and i can't help but feel all these youtubers that be at these events just say good things to keep in the good graces of these companies.

    I'll hold my judgement till i see gameplay and how all these innovative promises meld together and hope it doesn't sacrifice the gameplay we've known and loved to be different. We seen how great battlefront looked but just didn't have that longevity or single player. I think the single player will be ridiculously short as usually and focus on looking good then been good.

    Until we see more!

    You know I don't really mind that.

    One thing I was hoping for at the least was an enter/exit animation.
    Its a bit stupid that someone can just auto disappear in or out if a tank, should really have to get in properly.

    I was never one for jumping out of a tank that was finished either(C4 attached would be the obvious time), unless it was completely obvious I had no choice and I could impact further by jumping out.

    I would normally just try to take down as much of their armour in the hope Id help aid a team mate.

    People jumping out also gives the enemy the chance to steal the vehicle.

    If you look at the wiki page there is a large diverse amount of wepons to use and it will lead to fun encounters where both players miss and have to mash each other with spades instead !
