I really hope Dice was kidding with the voices and code names we heard at E3. That will make myself and many other people not even buy the game. Is it a war game, or is it a joke ? I feel like shes kidding when the female leader tells them “Were losing object Apple” or “were gaining control or Objective Butter.” That is so stupid, sorry to say. It takes so much away from the gameplay and the feel of it. I dont know what the thought process was by giving them such stupid code names and I PRAY to god they are removed before launch.
I don’t speak German, I wonder what the commentary is when your soldiers on the other side?
Should be Objective Alpha, or Objective Bravo, or Charlie!
Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc. are from the NATO phonetic alphabet used since 1956. During WW1 (1914-18) these were genuine phonetics used.
Apples
Butter
Charlie
Duff
Edward
Freddy
George
Harry
Ink
Johnnie
King
London
Monkey
Nuts
Orange
Pudding
Queenie
Robert
Sugar
Tommy
Uncle
Vinegar
Willie
Xerxes
Yellow
Zebra
So using the realistic phonetics is now a bad thing that will make people “not even buy the game”? Nope. I swear, people will complain about every little thing.
Did the Germans use a for alpha and so on to? Doubt it.
^^This.
People wanted realism and WW1 fidelity. There you go…
If this will stop you from buying the game then it’s a good thing. Don’t wanna see cry babies in the game…
Wow I didn’t even realize. I guess you learn something new every day. 
What worries me more is how many automatic weapons seem to be available. It looks like this game is going to play almost exactly like BF4, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing I was just hoping for a sloewer team based game
excellent post.
it really makes me wonder what schools are teaching kids these days.
i mean you had even people worrying about lock on in BF1…
Daza792: I got my lesson of the day, thanks for that m8
haha no worries 
That, might folks!!!
People not doing their homework before they come to the forums to moan are pathetic and ridiculous.
Did the Germans use a for alpha and so on to? Doubt it.
Thank you^^. Apparently that was a needed history lesson, I like that they took the time to get that right
Everyone, this is it, enough said about these Phonetic names, this is realism like many have asked for.
Another example of ‘THINK BEFORE YOU SAY’.
I’d hope we get to keep apples and butter. Sounds so much better than alpha and bravo.
The game will use setting-appropriate callouts, that’s fine.
Players should continue to use NATO phonetic alphabet on the mic. There are good reasons why they chose the words they did.
