Battlefield 1 to be announced May 6th

[DD_Bwest]

Dude, it's not just about which front it's on. It's so much more than that. That time period is boring for the weaponry used compared to more modern or future times. Bi-planes? Really? WW2 aircraft were simplistic enough. Let's fight in crop dusters! Going that far back is a huge gamble considering the number of Battlefield fans who want another modern shooter or a sequel/spiritual successor to 2142. Hardline already upset enough people.

There is a crud ton of essentially forgoten weapons during that period.  tons of rifles, weird machine guns, shotguns, ad in a variety of rifle sights, bayonettes, mag size, hell seeing a periscope gun would be awesome


there were dozens of trial tanks,  some really crazy looking things

dont forget poison gas.. and not only were there a variety of bi-planes, but also zeppelin bombers lol  and if they figure out a way to include artillery, like needing a spotter plane to call it in.. that would be awesome.

Rumors had it that both this and titanfall 2 would release this year. I wonder if that's true. Titanfall got announced earlier than this, so it makes me wonder

[the-pi-guy]

I want an older game.  

Civil War or older!  

I can see it now:
*Fires*
*Takes 3 minutes to reload*
*Fires*
*Starts reloading, halfway through gets shot*

Okay, not really. It didn't really take that long.

Alternate history with even a slight sci-fi or "this shame definitely wasn't around then" angle to it would be way better.

So they've dialed back the alternate setting?

sounds like the world itself wont be to alternate,  just the weapons.  which i would actually prefer.   the settings during the war were so vast they have alot to work with.  deserts, forests, mountains, snow,  trenches,  sea + air.   This includes massive attacks on forts.

...you do realize you'd get those same environments in a highly alternate setting, right? The alternate part refers to the story and the powers involved. It's not talking about the terrain.
