** The Official Battlefield 1 - The Dawn of War Thread*

[2010JW]

Hey brahs I wanna familiarize myself with WW1, where should I start looking?

[Briisk]

watched trailers of both B1 and COD Infinite W and B1 is a fresh breath of air, gonna pre order as soon as I can (srs)

You can already preorder. No rush though, preorders will be available until release. I'm getting the deluxe myself for the 3 day early access.

Hey brahs I wanna familiarize myself with WW1, where should I start looking?

The best place to get any info online..... WIKI.

I asked my buddy whos a history/war buff to get me all the details about ww1, hasn't got back to me yet but when he does I'll post here because he brings the lulz.

[nordiclifter]

Leaked info from march, now confirmed by the reveal. But the original leak contains more info!







From Reddit post

I have been told this by an inside source for quite some time and finally decided to make a video about it months ago. I just want to outlay a few things that were included in my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhZSqULi7PI

Game setting - WW1 Game will not be following authentic WW1 history (in terms of weapons) Game will either be called Battlefield 1 or battlefield (year)

Maps: Armiens - ( City within france, most comparable to Siene crossing if you played BF3).

Italian Coast.

Scar

Chateau note MASSIVE church in the center of the map.

Mountain Fort (most comparable to Dem. peak from BF3)

as of last contact with source: he does not know of the rest of the maps in development but he/she has not yet seen an infantry only map

Game Modes within the game itself: (also like to note that this will be one of the largest BF games map wise)

Conquest - Game is leaning very towards CQ large

Rush - Massive improvement over BF4’s Rush gamemode/map layout

TDM - TDM will be in the game

Domination - will be in the game

(potential game mode) - Last Squad Standing - operates much like Squad Deathmatch and elimination mixed together ( teams will be able to spawn on any team mate throughout the match until they are squad wiped. eliminating them from contention) this game mode has a good chance of being competitive.

Pigeon Game mode - Game mode that operates like what we saw on BF:HL where you must hold/carry around the objective to capture it which when captured gives a point to your team, then resets.

CQ and Rush mix that’s played on the maps Scar and Amiens. Where one team must capture flags to move up onto the map much like Rush works.

Vehicles/Transportation Horses (war horses) Light tanks - one seaters (will have a self repair function) Heavy tanks - Three seaters. Scout Plane - 1 seater functions as a jet without Pods or heat seekers Bomber Plane - self explanatory. Two seater plane - Gunner sits on the tail of the plane with a mounted gun. Rhib-like boats to reach shores Weapons Heavy prototype weapons Fully automatic weapons much like assault rifles DMRs snipers LMGs Grenades variations are as follow: Impact grenade Incindiary Gas Grenades Hero Gadget (Flame Thrower and Gun Combo)

Classes: Medic Support Assault Recon

Overall game enhancements

Dynamic weather on every map which includes:

Fog Rain Snow along with others

various of these will rotate on each map making every time you play it different than the last.

People that have been invited by EA to alpha test/give feedback

JackFrags has been invited and knows of the game’s state LevelCap Knows of the game’s state PonyLion Knows of the game’s state Westie Knows of the game’s state

^ I think it's a bit wrong to be posting constant speculation videos when you've known for quite some time what the game will be. Just hungry for views. That's my own opinion, if you know you shouldnt pretend to your community that you don't know by posting constant speculation videos and hinting at other games like a futuristic or modern game.

Video from this user, with more info. That the actual BF 5 is coming 2017 ( the story with recker ,etc from BF4 continues) + MORE




This is most likely true, cause alot of the stuff mentioned has been confirmed by the reveal. Enjoy brahs.

Someone else posted this a few pages back but I 100% recommend everyone with an interest in WWI(or history for that matter) go download Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast. This guy is a god when it comes to history, and he really puts a fun spin on it rather than listening to a dry, old professor. His series on the Mongol's is GOAT, as is his series on Operation Barbarossa in WWII.

His World War I series is called "Blueprint for Armageddon" and there are six parts to it, all being around 3-4 hours long.

[Briisk]

Fill me in here, does BF4 have leagues and competitive games like CS or is that not a thing anymore on PC.

Yeah i've been reading on wiki, I like how the events are organized with the generals and countries and their info.
Yeah i'm gonna pre order too, just the regular version tho.
In for your posts!

I played BF4 this weekend after not playing for a couple months.


One thing I hope they go back to in the bew BF is the unlocking process for scopes and undermounts. I really hate the rng of battlepacks and unlocking cases hoping to get the right attachments.

You don't have to worry about RNG of battlepacks if you actually use the gun. Using the gun will grant the same attachments.

"'Battlefield 1' Is The Most Liked Trailer In YouTube History, 'Infinite Warfare' The Most Disliked"

"Last week, Call of Duty Infinite Warfare’s reveal trailer was the most disliked video game video of all time with about 300,000 dislikes. Today, it’s the most disliked trailer ever, and the 8th most disliked video period in YouTube history with a frankly unbelievable 1.2 million dislikes.

On the other side, Battlefield’s numbers are no less significant. The Battlefield 1 trailer has now passed a million likes, putting it in the top 250 most liked videos ever, and making it, by far, the most liked trailer of all time, across movies, TV or video games."

DICE's Great War: classes, horses and more in Battlefield 1

"Last week EA unveiled Battlefield 1, DICE's new first-person shooter, with an explosive new trailer. It takes the series to World War 1, a war that saw the old clash with the new. So, from the muddy, mustard gas filled trenches we'll see sword fights and bayonet charges and horse combat alongside tank battles, swooping biplanes and warships."

Battlefield 1: here’s five things you need to know

In the video above, Westie breaks down a few important changes made with this installment in the series. Some DICE upon during the livestream – melee and vehicles being two examples.

I just unlocked 75 cases since I hadn't played BF4 in a looong time, and I definitely didn't like unlocking random attachments while putting no effort into it. I like earning my rewards far more than a hodgepodge like battlepacks.

I am the same way. Would much rather unlock by putting effort into it. Not knocking those that think differently. I just like to have goals to work towards late in the game once you have unlocked everything else.

Battlefield 1's PC version will have a built-in server browser!!!

Sauce: https://twitter.com/Battlefield/stat...58288411324416

No more going into a web browser every time you go into a game.

EDIT: Maybe I'm misinterpreting this?

[2RDEYE]

http://www.pcgamer.com/battlefield-1...north-america/

game is digital-only for PC. meaning the retail box will only have a game code and you'll have to download the entire game. still works for me anyhow, just prefer to install through a disc because its faster for me.

So much hype for this game going on around the internets. But not me. I have been let down by both ea and dice before. Does the term Starwars Battlefront ring a bell? There was SO MUCH hype for that game and then it all but vanished from the radar after its release. I still am interested in playing BF1 but not gonna buy it on release maybe even buy it used.

Battlefield has been going strong since 2002 and DICE has yet to fail to live up to the expectations which people have for that particular franchise.

Battlefront is a completely separate franchise which they clearly took in a completely different direction.

I seriously doubt they will screw up Battlefield 1.

What expectations?

Broken online day 1?

No dedicated servers?

$60 for what is basically multiplayer only?

Sounds about right.

So hyped for a World War FPS getting this much positive attention in 2016.

[kr1kit]

Battlefront != Battlefield

I've loved every single Battlefield + expansion they've come out with(aside from Hardline which was made by Visceral Games instead of DICE).

- Issues were fixed. Netcode in BF4 is now excellent.

- Battlefield has always had dedicated servers.

- $60 for 600 hours of entertainment is worth it.

U mad this game will be phenomenal.

Not really. Just low expectations.

I never said the issues were fixed, just that the game had big problems on release.

Pretty fkn sure that you can't host your own server in battlefield

Alright, $60 is fair and I will most likely pick this up, but not until after inevitably EA's servers are broken and then fixed a couple months after release.

Not mad, just rustled that you can't expect AAA games to work on release anymore, and that basic sh!t that was in games 6+ years ago isn't in them anymore for some reason.

[Breen86]

Wat???

[420Layers]

Wat???

Not match/lobby, as in put together a computer and host a server on it.

[L_Coops]

You can hire your own public and private servers. That's why all the servers have their own names i.e. 'Sydney 24/7 all DLC maps' etc.

Can't mod them in any way at all though, defeating the purpose of dedicated servers entirely.

I blame publishers.

But what do I know I'm just some ******* who plays the games.

You can put rules in, like banning explosives on a Metro 24/7 server. What kind of modding do you mean?

I don't know I might pirate it before I buy and see if I like it. I either get really into games or I play them a bit and drop them shortly after.

Don't expect it to be a sh!t game, just don't want to drop $60 + $60 more for all the map packs that will trickle in.

Honestly, no moddable servers etc. isn't even that bad, what really gets me is the whole map pack/dlc business. fkkng greedy ass EA mtherfukers

Hey, at least they haven't gone the route of Activision and put gambling systems into their games (yet).
