Why do you think that is? Oh yea it’s because Canada was one of the most important Nations in ww1. Other game devs realize this. Historians from every corner of the earth knows Canada Contributed the most after Britain and France, a lot of times even surpassing them because Canada was able to win many battles and hold many lines no other nation on Earth! could hold or take! Please Dice/EA i beg of you add Canada, 36 million Canadian’ are waiting and praying you add them in this game. Thanks. ---

Dear lord, you sure are straight up slamming it with this Canada thing aren’t you? ---

No one knows which factions DICE are going to add. There’s so many of these threads banging on about national pride and I get it. BF3 and BF4 only have 3 factions and no one was crying then! You tell me what’s different about the British and Canadian uniform? Not a lot, as it was part of the commonwealth! Now footage from the live stream already showed what looked like ANZAC and Indian player models under the British army so I don’t think Canada will feature in the game as a separate faction. The French need to be added though so I’m glad they’re getting included. ---

Verdun implemented it in a way that BF wouldn’t be able to without changing up their class system. Verdun has squads for each side. Canada is one of the squads. A description from a FAQ guide to Verdun: "Canadians/Stoßtruppen Orientated for close combat they are mainly armed with pistols, melee weapons and grenades. They also have the possibility to call in gas, which has a blinding and potentially deadly effect on any player inside it who is not wearing his gasmask and moreover works splendidly as a smokescreen. From personal experience i can mainly recomend to call it on main enemy defensive positions during an attack and to not use it while defending yourself since it’s effect will possibly do you more harm than good ( gas is the only weapon in the game that currently also can do damage to your allies!)." I’m with you GenKyle. I want us in BF1 as well, but I think the best we can hope for in this case is a skin amongst the British Empire faction. Play some MOH: Warfighter bro. You can use JTF2 in multiplayer (the spec ops class for JTF2 has a newfie accent 😉 ) People still play it although not many servers are active these days. It died pretty hard when it was launched because it was full of Bugs (EA.. nuff said). It was patched and is good now, but people gave up on it. Two man fireteams instead of squads. I love it. It also has the best campaign I’ve ever played. ---

So if it was a DLC that people had to pay money for, would they really want to pay for a different voice over? I have told him that. Any nation that was a colony or nation of Britain then they would have everything the same expect for voice and patches. ---

> [@GeneralKyle7](#): > > Please Dice/EA i beg of you add Canada, 36 million Canadian’ are waiting and praying you add them in this game. Thanks. 99% of Canadians don’t even know about the existence of this game. That leaves, roughly, 360,000 who do. Of those, seventy-five percent don’t care what the factions are. That leaves 90,000. Of those, 90% might think it is cool if Canada is a faction but otherwise don’t think much of it. That leaves about 9000 who would like to see Canada in the game. Of those 9000 people, only one is spamming the forum on this issue. So, I guess my point is that roughly 0.000003% of Canadians really want to see Canada in the game. I’m sure DICE will get right on that. More people want women in the game and DICE isn’t interested in including them. ---

Thanks. Kyle, we get it. You want Canada as a faction. You want there to be some homage to the sacrifices of a nation who served for Britain during this turbulent time. But what do you want us to do about it? What is constantly bringing it up over and over again going to do about it? We’re not Devs. I have a very sinking suspicious that DICE probably doesn’t look over all these all that often. I’m sure they already know about Canada’s involvement. But again. It. Is. A. Game. Not a historical documentary, and sure as hell not an accurate representation of the First World War. There is little to be done about it. Besides talking, and really, the vibe you’re giving off is pretty unfriendly towards it. Let DICE do their factions how they plan. France to me, is far more important to this then Canada. And if Canada is to make any kind of appearance. It will be under British Command, so maybe accent and patches.
