I have found some pics of a crossbow used in WW1, it was sometimes used as a grenade catapult in the trenches (similar to a mortar). But also, I’m sure it would make sense for the game Also and the time it is set. If not the Bow and arrows at least the crossbow.. What do you guys think?
Probably be added for something similar to the Phantom program
Rifle grenades were the common thing rather than crossbows. 
Nice, but I’m sure not all the soldiers had that. Like if your playing a certain faction of soldiers, let them have acess to there own weapons and gear until a certain lever, like in Battlefield 3?
love to see those weapons take in action!
Bicycles were used extensively throughout Europe in WW1. It would be funny if DICE implimented a pedaling mini-game in order to make your bicycle start moving, like in GTA San Andreas.
I’ve destroyed many a tank and low flying attack chopper with my xbow and explosive bolts in BF3. Would be more than happy to do it again in BF1. Please do add.
Lol dude that would be gold! In the red orchestra games, the WW1 based game had bicycles.. Lol
There are AA guns for downing aircraft. This is not BF3 mate, why would it have to be?
Crossbow weapon, will be awesome tho.. I’m really hoping it is implicated into the game somewhere..
Some people like challenges my brother, why were the bow and arrows in BF4? Why was the crossbow in BF3? Why not the same for BF1? People love a challenge, and battlefield vets would love these weapons!
I would love to see a crossbow in BF1! I loved the Xbow in BF3.
Yes the xbow was awesome.. I liked the Phantom also… In this game it would make sense
I believe Red Orchestra was World War II
Oh, ok that explains it.. They still had bicycles in that gamet
I honestly don’t remember using them if they were. I remember bicycles in Heroes and Generals. But either way, it’s just a minor means of transportation.
Would be cool but if there are rpgs “rifle” it wouldnt make to much sense to have both unless the crossbow was much more precise.
It actually would make sense, that’d like saying what is the purpose of the X-Bow in BF3? Or the Phantom bow in BF4?
No.
The bow was obsolete compared to the gun by the time of the first great war. No one was using the bow over it with the exception of cultures that were still using rudimentary technology; i.e; certain African or Arabic tribes etc., It would be extraordinarily rare to see a crossbow firing grenades during WW1. And I sure as hell don’t want some cheesy out of place thing such as that all over the place during MP. You want them to reference it during the campaign fine, but as a weapon to pick during online… hell no.
I’m sure there are tons of crazy things people have used for combat that you could look up, but that doesn’t mean I’d want all of them in the game.
You may get some crossbow game play during the part of the campaign you get to deal with the female Bedouin soldier..as there tribe still dealt with technology like that, if that makes you happy.
