I’ll try to summarize all the posts about some missing factions in BF1, who played a big role in WW1, so if I forgot any, don’t rost me please ;). There has been big discussions about certain factions in several threads with pros and cons , which is a good thing IMO and I appreciate this, because it shows that many people care about some historical facts. And this isn’t nationalism (at least for me), people simply want to play with their country and enjoy a game. Me as a Serb would like to play with Serb faction of course, the only time where I played with as a Serb was in GTA 4 with Niko Bellić lol 😃 😃 😉 jokes a side… There are people who don’t care at all what factions they’re playing and they’re saying that “it’s just a game”. Yes, it is “just” a game (and not everything will be 100% historical accurate), but it’s not any game, which is fictional like BF4, where you can add any faction you want. If a game is based on WW1 theme, them the Game needs to honor the most important factions that participated in The Great War and not exclude them! My suggestion to DICE is, to include ALL those factions in the upcoming 4-5 DLC, and by this you’ll please many people and make BF1 more authentic. Before we get offended again and told that there can’t be many factions and so on, I’ll remind everyone how much content BF4 got after the vanilla version, with new maps, faction based vehicles, weapons and some other stuff, which in BF1 isn’t needed, because vehicles & weapons are not typical faction based. That means “only” faction based uniforms and voiceovers needs to be done, and maps will be done either way. Maybe, and only maybe there could be added 4-5 weapons. And I’m sure that the Current Gen is capable to include those missing factions! I’ll not mention the pros again, because in many comments people have been giving pretty good arguments, so I’ll post links to the faction based threads and links to the Wikipedia page about the demanded factions so everybody can see their importance in WW1. **CASUALTIES IN WW1** > **[World War I casualties](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I_casualties)** > > The total number of military and civilian casualties in World War I is estimated to be 15 to 22 million deaths\[failed verification\] and about 21 million wounded military personnel, making it one of the deadliest military conflicts in human history.

1.Marketing there are a whole lot of American BF players then French or Maybe Canadian. Smae reason for Serbian. This is the same for the pther factions you mentioned where there are a whole lot more UK or US players VS Frnech or Serbian. (I doubt Canada has less) 1. It isn’t fit, profitable or possible to have a developer to make 8 10 Factions to please any and every one. This would have developer make Voice Actors, Uniforms, Vehicles, Weapons, amd pther things that cpuldn’t bebdone with this many factions. 2. France is getting It’s OWN DLC. That means (while not confirmed) 4 maps, weapons, and vehicles as well gadgets all centered around France. Same goes for Russian which is why they didn’t add that into the game. Just have what I said for Framce instead cross out Framce and put Russia. 3. Variety is a amazing thing. When it comes to terrotories of the UK (Canada, Austaralia, ETC) they pretty much were supplied the same things as a Briish Military so it wouldn’t add anything other then a small retexture and an accent. Which is why I feel America is in the game because they had differemt weapons VS. cnada which would use the same equitment and weapons as the UK. 4. Serbian & other factions(no offense given but) it isn’t a modern day popular country/countrys which is why the markering team looked at it more as a small design and workload that wouldn’t add anything other then authenticity to the game as well the snall amount pf Serbian BF players VS The large amount of US and UK players. While I think they should have said from the get go what they planned to do with France and Russia. They both played huge parts in the war which is why I feel they will be there very own DLC, in my opinion if I was French or Russian I wpuld be exicted to be centered around a DLC VS being jus tanother faction in the main game. We should look past the Uniforms we wear in a video game. ---

So if American market is much bigger then would it not have been better to have the less popular faction in the Main game and then have the US as a DLC. Then you could sell Main + DLC and not just Main. BTW what is the difference between US and British uniforms? ---

BTW You might want to look into the Battle of Hamel it was the 1st US Battle of WW1. But being under Australian command it easy to overlook. ---

But being under Australian command it easy to overlook. I’m just guessing yes but it is (like I said). It wouldn’t suprise me that it would be a free DLC like they did for Battlefront. Those were iconic battles true but all those are small compared to Verdun (which would be an awesome hook to buy the DLC for the most popular and longest battle of WW1, sounds like BF1’s Jaku). I will look up that battle though. ---

I think the French deserve to be a main faction of the game instead of the US, who were late and a much smaller number of men…if we’re going to go down that road. If the customisation of player models is similar to that of SWBF, then Canadian and Aus forces etc could just be a skin and voice. Not a whole faction. ---

There were over 100 countries played a part in WW1. It is inevitable that some countries, some large, some small, won’t feature in the game. We don’t know what factions will appear in the game, other than those that featured in the pre-alpha gameplay footage, and the already confirmed French faction to come in a future DLC. It’s likely that there will be 4 DLC packs, so there is plenty of scope for additional factions to be included. I imagine each DLC will be themed around a theatre of operation in the conflict, introducing new factions and locations. Until we know for certain, speculation about the inclusion or omission of certain factions is merely that - speculation. I also believe that making countless threads about the same subject isn’t going to make this any more or less of a priority for DICE. I’m sure it’s on their radar. ---

You chose casualties as YOUR basis of deciding which countries would be in the game. I think that is a terrible method. Others think it is a terrible method. What if I said Russia shouldn’t be in the game because they quit the war before it was over. What if I said Frace shouldn’t be in the game cause they got wipped and mutinied. Offended? Saying America shouldn’t be in the game is rediculous. Almost 5 million served. So what if there were “only” 50,000 causalities. Casualties don’t win wars bro. Also consider that the US is the largest market. The devs got it right by having America in the game. Now, of course France should be in the game and they will. Russia should be in the game and I hope they will. Quit acting so butt hurt about what counties are in the game. Don’t buy BF1 if its such an important subject for you. And quit making thread after thread about the same stupid stuff! ---

I think that is a terrible method. … And quit making thread after thread about the same stupid stuff! Don’t know who u addressing, but if it’s me, then show me 1 post where I said that such and such country shouldn’t be in the game! Nowhere I said that. Furthermore I’m for it that as many as possible should be included! Anyway what does it bother people like you IF other factions are in, man some people got this imperialist and dictator type of behavior, who is u anyway to judge which country should be or shouldn’t be in danger game. U better say nothing 😃 > [@](#): > > Don’t buy BF1 if its such an important subject for you Don’t read what I’m posting if it’s such an important subject for you lel, none of ur business!
