I love the fact Battlefield takes a step back to this era, ill think its a great thing to do at this point. What are you guys think? Is it good or bad? ---

Definitely good. I don’t generally pre-order games. This one is the exception… ---

I think a game with a setting in past puts limits on the game which risks ruining the best thing about battlefield the openness on the plus side at least it is different I thought 3, 4 and Hardline were a bit too similar. ---

do some research, WWI was the most brutal war, involving the entire world, where colonial style armies were destroyed going against ‘modern’ inventions such as the tank, air plane flame thrower, machine gun, and chemical warfare. entire cities were leveled, entire companies obliterated by sappers undermining their positions and detonating the largest stocks of explosives ever used to date. ---

So many people think that WWI was the American Civil War. Truly sad. ---

It’s sad that people think of the US as being the heroes of WWI, when in reality they didn’t even join the war until April 1917 by which point the war had already been raging for 3 years and they were only there for just over a year until it ended in November 1918. And the american’s were only around for 4 of the 10 bloodiest battles of WWI, and that’s not even mentioning whether or not they actually fought in any of those 4. ---

I didn’t think anyone could make a good WW1 game, It was mostly trench warfare, I mean, what can you do with that? But after seeing the release trailer yesterday, its safe to assume Dice pulled it off! It looks EPIC! I was so hyped I preordered the Deluxe Edition…lol. ---

You do realized that WW1 is more than trench warfare right? Maybe in mainland Europe, but not elsewhere. ---

An era which is not that popular for first person shooter games nowadays as most games are futuristic. Interesting and very promising. Looking forward to Battlefield ! ---

Its definitely a good thing. There hasn’t been any AAA WW1 games released yet, and I think its a great time to introduce this settings to millions of people who have been disenfranchised by endless modern and futuristic shooters of late. Also the timing of the reveal after the Infinite Warfare trailer could not have been better. ---

That’s like saying a trailer created with the same camera is in movie footage. It’s not. Anyone can create an animation using a 3D engine along the lines of what they really wanted their game to look like, but due to the realities of coding, the end result cannot be as good as the imagination. Just because the trailer uses the same engine as the game, it doesn’t mean it accurately reflects the content of the game.
