dont mind just want to play the beast
For me was better call it only Battlefield or at least Battlefield 15/18 ![]()
Personally no, I would have much preferred Battlefield 1915 or something.
Codename Eagle is always BF1 for me…
Surprise surprise, that was an alternate WW1 game…
It’s like we’re getting a properly made remake…by throwing out the “alternate timeline” part
Yes, I love the name
Yes, I’m really happy with the name. There’s a big chance I would hate it if it was named differently. This is a core title, same colors as BF3 and BF4, and it’s named BF1. A nice prequel to previous titles. All we need now is a remastered/reboot of Battlefield 2, and we have a nice universe blended all together.

The name is the only good information i got about the new game.
Keeps room for Battlefield 5, to be released in 2017 ?
The gameplay didn`t look exiting, sure did the graphics.
So a modern day BF5 with that graphics would be awsome B)
I think it’s an awesome name! (mainly since it’s a WW1 game)
I like the name thought Battlefield : the Great war would have been a good title but it may give away the setting before DICE would show us the trailer.
no i don’t. i hate the concept of starwar prequel and timeline distorted retards

The Great War is good name but the abbreviation “BFTGW” does not look as good as BF1.
Yes I do, I don’t see anything wrong with it. It fits very well.
I heard someone saying like “If years later someone searches for the 1st BF he’ll be confused when he sees BF1”, lol common please, who’s so dumb and won’t be able to distinguish the graphics of the old and the new BF games ![]()
I second this. I understand why they went with Battlefield 1, since it is a homage to WWI. But lets think in the era, at the time. It was called “The Great War” Because that’s what it was. A war that influenced and was influenced by many countries. Woodrow Wilson even hoped that in creation of the League of Nations thereafter that they would never have to have another Great War again. So in the time frame no one would have called it World War I. We only do so because well, it’s looking back at history. There were two Great wars. So this was obviously the first.
Long Story short. I think calling it Battlefield: The Great War. Is much more fitting.
The name fits. They said something about how the wars (WW1) of this time period shaped the wars we know today. The number 1 comes first on a timeline.. so yes, if we were to number fps shooters based off of war, this game would be #1.
There have always been groups of people attacking each other from the beginning of people. But War is defined by more.
Whoever named World War I, WW1 was not a genius, they just figured this was the first massive fight between humans so why not a #1 in the title.
I hope this cleared up any confusion for at least one person that had a problem with the title
I like the Title .. and think it paves way for the series to be completed on Frostbite 3 by having BF1 __ BF4 I sort of hope they will go the whole hog now and redo BF2 and BF3 and then later a BF5. It would be good to do the Bad Company Series too I remember seeing a stream where DICE said something like, what is so special about BC2 I think it was NO JETS hahaha so if the Bad Company series can go along without jets would be something to make it different from the other Battlefield’s and would please the player who thinks jets are op
Yes, and no. It seems like a spinoff name.
And that is another good point to why they probably went with Battlefield 1.
I’m guessing that Battlefield 1 is a paid marketing gimmick by Microsoft, to promote the X-Box 1, as a commercial for the X-Box 1 appears at the end of the Bf1 trailer, and there is also a marketing plan to let people play Bf1 on the Xb1 one week earlier than on other platforms.
So, I think it’s likely that Microsoft is paying DICE some millions of dollars to create the title association between the new Battlefield and the Xb1, by using the title Bf1, and by having Bf1 release on the Xb1 a week earlier than other platforms, and by having an Xb1 ad play at the end of the Bf1 trailer.
You guys the title is not a conspiracy. DICE has a goal to make the best battlefield experience. The reason they chose to name BF2 that is because 1942 was their first try under the battlefield name. Vietnam didn’t really make huge improvements to the idea of the perfect battlefield. Then they had the technology to create the next battlefield. The number 2 meant this was the next big battlefield. They made spin off again until the released the next big battlefield, BF3 and so on. BF1 is the next big battlefield. The reason for the one is it killed two birds with one stone. They skipped battlefield 1, or just plain battlefield, and it’s world war 1. This game will also have taken place before all the the other titles. Maybe it is a conspiracy.
But it’s no where near confusing as Xbox 1. They had already released Xbox so that would be a legitimate confusion.
