Sry for my English, I am not a native speaker. I have a question about the factions.

How many factions will we have in Battlefield 1? We have seen British, Americans, Germans, Turks and Italians in the trailer. So how about other countries participated in the war? Like French, Austro-Hungarian Army and Russians or maybe Serbs.

I also have a suggestion of the factions. Maybe we can have Triple Entente VS Triple Alliance instead of countries VS countries (for example British VS German) in the game. If you are in the side of Entente, you can choose outfits of Canadian, British, French, Russian and so on and if you are in the Alliance side, you can pick up outfits of German, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman, it can work as character customization as well. What do you guys think?

I thought the ottomans where in the trailer. I’ll be pretty disappointed if the French aren’t in there.

If these factions do not make it into the final product there is always room for expansion with future DLC.

I do assume Russians will be in some “Eastern Front” DLC since there is nothing about the Russians in the trailer

My prediction for the 7 nations:

1. Arabs or Ottoman
2. Germans
3. Russians
4. Italians
5. Americans
6. British
7. French

My demands:

THE BALKAN FACTIONS due to historical importance, foremost

1. Serbs
2. Austro-Hungarians

Americans, British, French, Germans, Russians, Ottomans.

This is kind of the stuff I’ve been advocating since I joined the forums. I would love to see the battlefield filled with soldiers from both sides of the conflict. It would definitely give a more authentic feel to the game.

This is also what I am looking forward to. Then we can have all the minor countries such as Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders presented in the game. DICE doesnt need to create new factions, all they need to do is to create skins of such countries, and players can customize their appearance by choosing such skins

Yes I’m aware, I just mentioned those two cuz they were the main players from the Balkans. I could have mentioned Montenegro, Greece and Romania also but I didn’t for that reason.

Better include the ANZACs or i’ll be mad af at you DICE, but not enough that i won’t still play, since WW1 will be a good change from all this futuristic video game spam that is currently going on 🙂

The country saw in the trailer are the seven playable nations present no for the campaign ?

1. Arabs

2. Ottoman Empire

3. German

4. Italians

5. Americans

6. British

7. The last faction could be in a camp of the Alliance or the Entente ?

_For the alliance camp_: Austria-Hongria Empire or Bulgaria

_For the entente camp_: Maybe Russia, France, Roumania, Serbia, Greece or Belgium

And for the multiplayer: we will have probably I think 4 faction:

USA/Great Britain vs German/Ottoman

Fixed that for you.

At least the makers of Verdun had the common sense and decency to include Canada when they made a flipping WW1 game.  
The Canadians contributed to the war effort from start to finish. The US don’t even come close to having done as much.  
The Canadians were just as important as the British and French were in the grand scheme.  
Watch DICE be morons and leave them out.

I’d rather have the Central powers involve Germany/Austria-Hungary over the Ottoman Empire. As it was mostly used in the Middle east. While Austria was fighting in Europe.

Speaking of Austria-Hungary they had Bosniak Muslim Infantry Divisions that considered Elite units during that time
