what did I miss? certainly not another battlefield game
AYOO
Battlefield 4 was so fucking boring. I hope this is any better. Probably not.
Yeah, I thought the title was a bit weird, but the video just goes to show how much real effort Dice puts into the accuracy of their work and its fantastic!
Your loss if you want to miss out on some of the best games of the genre. Fair enough.
For the first time in a long time I'm sure i will pre order a game. Not now though. I will wait for more materials but they bought me with ww 1 
is this an xbox one only game?

Nice analysis, especially with historical references. There was a launch event with more info, here's someone talking a bit about that:

If you look for it, i'm sure you can find tons of crazy stuff about any war, but it doesn't mean that it was widespread in reality. Maybe i'm wrong, but when i think about WW1, I mostly think about trenches and very few army vehicles (planes and tanks came late, maybe 1917 or something like that).
That's why i thought making a WW1 game would be difficult, because it's not fun at all from what i know about it. But it seems they've found lots of variety in environments, weapons and vehicles. It will be hard to balance this but it could be cool.

Yeah, of course not, its a game, therefore fun game-play over 100% realism. This is why the Battlefield series (MP) has always been my go to fps. They put you in the most realistic settings with tons of attention to detail, but they make it fun to play at the same time.

They are most likely going to stylize WW1 in their own "Battlefield" way. If something existed at that time, and the gameplay it offers is fairly balanced and fun, then you can bet it will be available to the player. After all, battlefield is still very much a "blockbuster" game. If you remember, BF 1942 was by no means realistic/historically accurate. There were literally jetpacks in that game (secret weapons expansion). Expecting this game to be factual/historically accurate is setting yourself up for disappointment.
Bending reality to create wild, awesome gameplay is what BF games do. Fictionalization is fine, but it's important to realize that history brings with a certain amount of drama that you don't get with fiction. Hopefully this isn't completely disregarded, and I'm sure DICE are completely aware of this. (especially if they want to create a compelling campaign mode.)
Haha owned
edit: The Wikipedia page for WW1 has a photograph of a british machine gun team at the very top of the page, lmao did this guy read literally anything before making this video

Really confused as to where you'd get the idea that there were only bolt action rifles and revolvers in WW1. The M1911 is in basically every videogame ever made.External Content www.youtube.comContent embedded from external sources will not be displayed without your consent.Through the activation of external content, you agree that personal data may be transferred to third party platforms.

Well, you see in that sort of early war, automatic small arms such as 1911 weren't commonly issued among soldiers, and of course only for Americans. Machine guns were present, but not very mobile and often stayed in one place. So I am thinking it is probably correct in assuming it would be mostly bolt action rifles, but the development team may take some creative liberties.

You can see in the trailer multiple instances of machine guns or trench guns. I think we can safely assume DICE are going to let Support carry around Browning LMGs, etc. It's not that much of a stretch beyond any war game with guns available by player choice. While it's interesting to play with in SP (I still remember vividly the COD1 level where you are given a clip of ammo instead of a gun, and have to wait and loot a killed ally), realistically apportioned resources doesn't really have a place in MP.

Well that is what I meant by "creative liberties". Browning M1918 was only used for three months in first world war, as for many other machine guns, they are simply too difficult to be operated by a single man as consequence of their great weight. However it is Battlefield, so you are probably correct in thinking DICE will make players able to use such large machine guns, as with their games they seem to neglect history. But fact is for someone knowledgeable of first world war, it will appear grossly unrealistic. I will still play and enjoy though.
The Red Baron shall triumph. Also, if I get a horse, expect some Indiana Jones hand to hand combat after jumping from a horse onto a tank stuff to go down. Too good not to have. I hope....
