Battlefield 1 general discussion

If they're smart it won't be futuristic because COD has already drained that well dry. But I have a feeling they're not that smart and it will be futuristic. There's a real gap for a big ticket WW2 game right now, would have been the perfect time for BF1944 but I won't hold my breath.

Nein!

no ida that will work a very short clip which shows nothing really.

I hope its a titan, dont really care for WW2 shooters they were done to death before and there are some new ones on the horizon.

Either modern, bad company or 214?

Although once its not call of need for speed like the last battlefield im happy

I dont know why none of the major FPS studios have never looked at a 'Chronicles' type approach, i.e. have 10 maps, but have say 4 different weapon / vehicle sets, - as in WW2, Vietnam, Present Day and Future. then just have different servers running the appropriate sets. Plenty of cities have been around since WW2, so I dont see why they couldnt have a map that'd support the various types.
BF5 had a ridiculous amount of guns and gadgets, if it was trimmed back more in line with what was available in Bad Company 2, I dont see why it couldnt be an option.

I wouldn't mind a prequel to 2142 as well. Loved the maps, and gameplay was nice too.

I thought it looked like a flak jacket from vietnam.

Id take a Vietnam setting just for music in the Huey.

you're in the same boat as me, I've seen you flying around War Thunder during the chronicles event. Its got you as a spoilt as me.

yeah being trying for the tanks that game gets me worked up sometimes :p:p:p:p

if you combined battlefield with killing floor 2 for FPS/gunplay then war thunder for plane/tanks id never leave the game haha the perfect combo imo.

Got my KV2 last night. Just 2 more games to get my p38J premium and I'll have all 4 vehicles.


Frankly all battlefield needs to do is treat vehicles as actual separate teams

so instead of 32 vs 32

it would

16 vs 16 - infantry (four 4 man squads)
8 vs 8 - armour (heavy tanks, light tanks, artillery, tank destroyers etc
8 vs 8 - aircraft (fighters, attackers, light bombers)

That way tank and aircraft players could have actuall classes with their own strengths and weaknesses and their own objectives and the vehicles could perform less like power ups and more like actual vehicles

Parallel gaming.

Also allow DICE to buff infantry abilities since elements like tanks would be a much more permanent feature so every class should get 2 options for direct anti tank or at least disrupting tanks (smoke grenades)

Just noticed from some stills of the vid that it looks like his ear is pierced, or would that be sweat? if pierced I think it would be closer to vietnam than either of the world wars.

None of that seems likely, probably better off hoping for a infantry mode in War Thunder.

BF has you in a plane, parachuting out right into a tank, and then fighting through a town on foot. You're describing a completely different game to what BF have had and enjoyed for years.

No reason that vehicles cannot be expanded, they've done so to ever greater extents in the last 2 games.

I had to say it ...
