Been studying it a lot lately and It’s much more interesting than I thought it would be. Super hyped for the WWI setting. WWI is uncharted waters when it comes to triple A titles and DICE can do so much with this setting. Lets just hope they do it right because it has the potential to be something absolutely mind blowing. Idea is there now it’s all up to DICE to make some magic happen! 😃 ---

Never understood why AAA companies never experiment with WW1. Thankfully DICE is doing it. ---

Just look at when most of the rumors came out about it being WW1, people were not happy. Most schools don’t even touch on WW1 anymore, and people only assume trenches and chemical warfare. ---

I think that most people assumed WWI to be a boring setting but DICE did an amazing job making it look bad and because of that a lot of people including myself started looking at it much differently. This is only the beginning of more big title WWI games a ton of other developers will follow I’m calling it. ---

I think BF1 will be absolutely epic! Semi auto rifles…bolt actions… cool melee weapons, mustard gas. AND, this will totally set up for a WWII game 2 years from October! You rock DICE…for doing a WWI shooter! ---

WWI was the most brutal and bloody war in human history up to that point, something like that just can’t help being amazing. As long as DICE stick to their guns about making the game more competitive and don’t somehow make it more casual friendly it’s going to be mind blowing. ---

It’s going to cater to both casual and competitive (attempt to), that is the player base. ---

WW1 is a very risky bet. we can’t deny they have balls. ---

> [@heast1](#): > > WW1 is a very risky bet. we can’t deny they have balls. I agree completely. It could have gone either way. I think COD IW had a play in all the hype and positive feedback for BF1. A majority of players are sick of sci-fi thrust boost and are counting on BF1 to deliver that “boots on the ground” experiance. Like I’ve said many times lets hope to god that DICE do a great job with the gameplay and content in BF1. ---

A majority of players are sick of sci-fi thrust boost and are counting on BF1 to deliver that “boots on the ground” experiance. Like I’ve said many times lets hope to god that DICE do a great job with the gameplay and content in BF1. Do remember that Infinite Warfare has been in development since before Advanced Warfare. During that time futuristic sci fi games were still very well received. By the time the community started to turn they were already a year into development. They did not anticipate the backlash to be so great and it was too late to start over. ---

They did not anticipate the backlash to be so great and it was too late to start over. I heard that BF1 was also is development for a few years. It is indeed unfortunate for call of duty but they got a ton of publicity even if it wasn’t positive but lets face it COD IW will still sell well despite the major backlash I mean it is COD after all. People will still buy it for some odd reason. ---

Yes, but the Battlefield franchise to date has been anything but casual. The game has always been competitive with the PC gamer in mind. I wouldn’t expect them to change that winning formula to much.
