Now if you'll forgive me, I'm going to /thread myself.

>>1863953
Are you? This has bullshit make-believe bait all over it.

>>1863963
>>No Russia
I get the no France thing, they've chosen to do the Western Front without France at launch which is pretty mind-boggling, but Russia? obviously they made a big contribution but they decided not to do the Eastern front, and frankly I think they are pretty free to make that choice.

>>1863943
The campaign overrates the British effort at the expense of France

As for the multiplayer, SMGs are overused, tanks are way too fast and planes are way too maneuverable
I won't even talk about horses for obvious reason

Basically, take it more like a fictious steampunk game than a WW1 one

>>1864029
American game = Britain must get the spotlight if the era doesnt allow the US to get it

That's why we get British troops on the Western front even though France was the main nation there, that's why we get a British pilot in the aerial story even though France had the best allied air force and aces, and that's why we get the irrelevant secondary theaters Britain fought on (Gallipoli and Arabia) instead of the much more relevant Eastern Front and Balkan theater

>>1863943
The weaponry is all stuff that either never made it to the battlefield at all or in large numbers or stuff that was stupidly impractical. Like that fucking body armor,

Plus all the SJW and American centric bullshit. Put in a Indian army guy instead of WE WUZ SOLDIERS and replace the women with a French guy.

>>1864058
>American game
It's an American publisher, not an American studio.

Relevance, what that means, and power rankings aside; the Middle Eastern theatre is interesting and is represented in film. Gallipoli has a film about it (clearly inspiring the Australian runner in the campaign if that ended up being true, I haven't played it yet). This is similar to how the US 101st Airborne is over-represented in WWII games relative to their impact, this is fine, they are iconic.

>>1864088
What isnt fine is that they told us they'd explore the forgotten aspects of WW1, yet we once again end up with the extremely overrated Brits on the Western front instead of the French (I mean, Brits are already in every WW2 games and WW1 movies produced by the US, give us something new) and fucking overrated Gallipoli bullshit instead of the Russian front

>>1864115
I think references to the 'forgotten aspects' probably mean those aspects that aren't generally well known in the US. Americans would be pretty familiar with the western front, but I doubt the general public knows much about Gallipoli, the Italian front, etc.

With the British fighting on it? Sure
But I doubt they'd be familiar with the French effort
Remember that most Americans think France lost WW1

>>1864164
I wasn't really talking about them being familiar with the details, I meant it more in the sense that Americans would be able to envisage western front trench warfare - whereas there'd be a pretty good chance they wouldn't know about things like the Gallipoli campaign at all.

As an Australian, I was pretty happy to see some representation in the game - though the uniforms (especially the slouch hat) triggered my autism.

STEEL SPRINGS

>>1864174
It's cool the Australians got representation in the game
Just sad it happened at the expense of countries that contributed much more

>>1864184
I assumed that maybe it was because France wasn't a big market for Battlefield games - but I was genuinely surprised they put in an Italian campaign, so I guess marketing doesn't really answer it. I suspect the real answer is that it just makes for a good cash cow DLC.

How are the Germans portrayed? Basically Nazis or what?

>>1864207
In the campaign? They're not really portrayed at all as anything except things to shoot at. The Ottomans get a lot of love in the text blurbs at the beginning and end of certain missions though.

>>1864184
Honestly this "contribution" theme you are hung up on is a little like the niggers and oscars storm in a teacup. Now choosing to portray the western front without the French at launch is a pretty big misstep IMO, but they shouldn't be held to propriety if they choose to do Palestine or the Alps over the Eastern front.

>>1864222
>Now choosing to portray the western front without the French at launch is a pretty big misstep IMO, but they shouldn't be held to propriety if they choose to do Palestine or the Alps over the Eastern front.

The issue is that they did portray the Western front, but with overrated Brits in it instead of the French
Had they not portrayed the Western front at all, it wouldnt have been such a big deal, but rather something similar to WW2 games that focus on the Pacific

When is the DLC out?

It's dice's fun arcadey very, very Swedish interpretation of the war. And that's okay even if it doesn't satisfy my autism.

But I feel like they missed a good chance to make squad play even better by making it more realistic.

Majority bolt-action rifles, putting a greater emphasis on hand to hand. Guys would swarm tanks and the tankers would scramble to fight them off instead of mowing everyone down and flying away in half a second, being a medic and reviving/doing other team things would have a better effect, doing something like calling artillery/gas would be useful as not everyone can take on a whole holed up cohort by themselves like rambo.

>>1870261
this meme triggers me way more than wewuzery or no france

now i will make a few assumptions so feel free to correct me

why couldn't the war play like a battlefield game?

are you implying that the soldiers somehow shot their guns differently than in ww2? or that they had evolved curious new forms of human movement other than running, ducking, crawling?

or is the point that ww2 also should play nothing like a battlefield game?

are you insinuating that soldiers did not move around, shoot their guns at the enemy and the like in ww1?

or are you possibly suggesting that because a significant portion of a soldier's time on the front was spent doing nothing but manning a trench, it couldn't be a battlefield game?

you mean in the same way you spend hours and hours cleaning latrines, guns and playing xbox on your base in modern battlefields? or how you go around unloading trucks and digging foxholes in ww2 battlefield?

why exactly should the war play nothing like a battlefield game?

unless your complaint is aimed at automatic weaponsj being overrepresented in the game in which case yes that is a valid point (then again other BF games do take liberty with equipment as well - but admittedly the gap in authenticity is not as big)... except i get this funny feeling you are somehow thinking "dey wuz in trenches n shiiiieeeeeeet and that's why it can't be a BF game"

>>1870373
You're wrong about everything you've implied.

WW1 should not be represented by a circular conquest-mode where everyone runs around independently like it's COD and wildly shoot at each other around corners and shit. It should be one United force of men moving against another United force men. The game should have a more proper sense of a front, it shouldn't have the basic "run around like a headless chicken" gameplay that literally every other shooter has.

Yes it needs to be more static, and though everyone already knows it sped up towards the end of the war after the british perfected the stormtrooper technique, it still didn't have a WW2 feel like BF1 tries to portray. It still had units charging trenches together and cohesive masses of men, you simply can't emulate that level of discipline and coordination in a multiplayer shooter and as such it fails to grasp the "old-timey" feel of WW1 where it was still transitioning out of the old napoleonic style. Basically BF1 tries to create the "special forces style WW2 squad" in an era where that style of fighting simply didn't exist yet. It was still large companies of men moving together, not this small-scale squad gameplay that clearly doesn't fit the era. It'd be like playing a napoleonic era game on a CSGO map, it just doesn't do the era justice.

>>1865412

>>1870417
That's what they tried to do with Operations mode. Most map designs were made with a linear progression in mind. Conquest as a mode is gutted more than even bf4 maps from my impression so far.

But even then a game like Red Orchestra 2 potrays this feeling if a front line better than bf1 because bf as a series has moved towards self-sufficiency that forgoes any necessity and incentive for coordination.

>>1870439
Are we seriously going to have this conversation? It's common fucking knowledge that WW1 is considered the first "modern war" and marks the transition out of the victorian/napoleonic era, no? They even had the same dragoons wearing fluffy hats and shit going into the battles and the French had bright colorful uniforms. They charged together in a mass of men just like they did in the napoleonic era before that strategy was modified to include a covering barrage and other advancements.

>>1870426
Neither France nor Britain could have defeated Germany alone anyway

My review so far.

Campaign (single player mode).
>Intro mission: muh hellfighters
>First actual story mission - Using a tank in support of a large infantry attack across defensive positions. Neat!
>Second actual story mission - "Tank driver! Get out of the tank and scout around on foot as our lone shitty tank backs you up. We're going to punch through the German line all by ourselves!"
>Despite earlier rumors, it doesn't appear that the de facto bad guy Central Powers got any story missions.

Haven't played much more story mode yet, as you might guess.

Multiplayer
>Painful, PAINFUL ethnic shilling. The Brits are all Indians. The Americans are all blacks. The Germans are mostly blacks. It's would be no less ethnically accurate if half the Italians were Rodians.
>Operations mode is cool. It's ALMOST like DICE achieved a 32 vs 32 story mode. The battles to take or hold the defensive positions are intense.
>Everyone's got late-in-the-war weaponry that mostly didn't see much use. This game basically pretends the first three years of the war didn't exist. It would bother me less if they'd just called the game Battlefield 1918.
>No Russia is somewhat forgivable for the 1918 setting. No France is absolutely not forgivable. I know it seems like there's a lot of Allies and not enough Germany to go around, but come on. France and Russia were THE two main Entente powers from the get go, with Britain reluctantly tagging along. A little respect, please.
>Cavalry charges and screaming bayonet impalings make my dick hard. There's a lot of emergent awesomeness to be found.
>There's an attempt to portray the Central Powers neutrally, but the focus is Allied heroism. So yeah, same old "Germans are bad."

cont.

>>1870621

In the end, I can understand why DICE made most of the decisions it did. The experience, while not dedicated to historical accuracy, is still fun. The missed opportunities disappoint, but to be fair WWI was a fucking HUGE affair and not everyone was going to get equal attention, or even attention at all.

Will I stick around to see how the DLCs fix things? Probably not, because I could buy a whole new game for the cost of the season pass, and by the time they release all those there will be another Battlefield game out that everyone will switch to.

Bottom line: if you don't have a multiplayer shooter you're into right now, you could do worse than to hop on this game while it's still warm. If you're busy enough with shooters as it is, you won't be too sad to give this $110 investment a miss.

7/10.

>>1870621
>No Russia is somewhat forgivable for the 1918 setting.

Oh yeah, the ebin excuse they used
How do they explain the Gallipoli part then?
Assholes

>>1870621

Oh fuck, one more things that REALLY bothered me. Despite 3/4 of the playable classes having access to submachine guns, there are very few actual machine guns in play and the ones that are often have terrible fields of fire.

Machine guns used defensively is one of the biggest defining aspects of WWI. Their rarity (and nigh uselessness) in multiplayer battles is really disappointing.

>>1870644

Forgot about that.

Yeah, fuck them. No excuses.

By the time of Vittorion Veneto the Habsburg monarchy had fallen apart. The KuK was barely holding together until it was only the Germans as all the other troops deserted when their homelands declared independence.

Ok here's the truth:
There's a black model plastered on all the promotional material.
All the loading screens prominently feature black people.

Yes, the first mission features a black american soldier from the harlem hellfighters. He dies, and you jump into the body of a nearby soldier, this repeats about 8 times. First mission is a tutorial and it's basically a montage of soldiers dying.
He does however act as a narrator for other parts of the singleplayer campaign. He talks with an educated new york accent from the turn of the century, not a southern accent or ebonics.

There is then:
A story about a generic british tanker who rambos his way through a forest with his surviving tank crew after his tank breaks down
A story about a volunteer american pilot who is a liar and gloryhound who is probably exaggerating his story after the fact
A story about an aussie message runner and his mentor in the gallipoli campaign
A story about a beoduin girl who fights with Lawrence of Arabia against the ottomans. Her story acts as a framing device for Lawrence

>>1873897

Random soldiers are not black
There are 7 countries: Germany, Britain, Austria-Hungary, Italy, America, Ottomans
There are 4 "basic" classes:assault, support, medic, and scout
There are 3 "advanced" classes: tanker, pilot, and cavalry
There' are 3 "elite" kits that can be found in a couple locations in each map: tank hunter, flame trooper and sentinel
So there are 46 classes (discounting elite kits) total, and out of them, maybe 6 are black and 1 is indian
How it works is that certain classes for certain countries are always black or indian or whatever
The british medic is always an indian guy, the german scout is always a black guy, etc
If it looks like the entire team is black, then everyone is picking the scout class, or if everyone is picking medic, then it looks like the entire british army is indian, and so forth
Austria and Italian armies have no blacks, the ottomans are all middle eastern
None of the tankers, pilots, cavalry, or elite classes are black

Assault weapons are all smgs or shotguns
Support weapons are all light machineguns
Medic weapons are all semiautomatic rifles
Scout weapons are all bolt or lever action rifles
Yes, about 75% of the weapons are NOT bolt action like they should be
Yes, most of the weapons are prototypes or weapons introduced very late into the war
Yes, tanks and planes handle much better than they should in real life
Yes, everyone shares the same pool of vehicles and weapons, the Mark IV tank is not locked to britain, the mp18 is not locked to germany, etc

Is it historically accurate?
No
Battlefield has never been a historically accurate series, the game was not marketed with historical accuracy in mind. It tries to sell interesting setting and associated aesthetic that is underused in video games, without regards to historical accuracy.

>>1873898

France and Russia are missing from the game.
France will be it's own DLC, as evidenced from unused filenames in the game data.

Russia's status is still unknown, but it's likely they will be DLC as well, along with the entire eastern front

It's not really historical but it's the most historical you'll get for a triple AAA major title and it does cover some pretty obscure shit, the Italian campaign is great, and we'll be in for more.

But its gameplay is extremely fun, i'd recommend it. They have tried to make it more WW1 like, there is automatic weapons everywhere but honestly the rifles are better. But get Verdun if you want proper WW1.

Really?
Was removing France and Russia to overrate Britain once again necessary to make it a triple AAA game?

>>1874491
They'll be incorporated later, the game is missing a lot of content to be honest, there's like 4 rifles if you remove variants.

>Overrate Britain
Not really, plus they focus on obscure shit like the Italians, which isnt actually obscure at all but is overlooked completely

>it's another "I hate Britain for some reason so I'm going to shit on literally everything they've done" episode

I get it, leaving France out was retarded and the Brits are over-represented in the game but some of you angry little faggots are acting like Britain did nothing.

It's a videogame you retards. If you want to play trench simulator then buy Verdun and play it for an hour before you realise how basic and fucking boring it is.

The Lawrence of Arabia part, the British Tank crew and the Gallipoli campaign makes for FUN gameplay. The Italian mission was quite good too but painfully short in an already very short game.

>>1874512
The campaign does overrate the British Empire though

>British character instead of French one on the Western front
>Irrelevant Gallipoli shit instead of the Eastern front
>Bedouin women bullshit under Lawrence of Arabia to give Britain even more attention

Keep in mind that the DLC won't include campaign missions, so the entire solo campaign revolved around sucking Britain's dick at the expense of France and Russia (and Germany too, they could have made one mission from their pov)

>It's a videogame you retards. If you want to play trench simulator then buy Verdun and play it for an hour before you realise how basic and fucking boring it is.

Yeah, because France and Russia couldnt have made fun gameplay, right?
It's not like they had tanks, airplanes and non-trench battles too, right?

>>1874854
The British tank crew made sense, as did including a part with Lawrence of Arabia.

The Gallipoli part could have been replaced with a Russian part though considering Gallipoli was a complete failure.

The American pilot part should have been a French pilot instead since they had better pilots than Britain and America.

It should have been:
>British tanks crew
>French flying ace
>Italian mountain battle
>Something in the eastern front
>At least one mission from the point of view of Germany
>Lawrence of Arabia content

>>1869581

>Normies don't even know Italy fought in WW2

Normies have a shit knowledge of history but they aren't that stupid. They at least know who Mussolini is.

Normie knowledge of WW2 is more like "the Russians used zerg tactics to win, they didn't even have enough rifles for their men, and they would have lost if Hitler didn't invade in the winter!"

The "we wuz" bit really isn't bad at all.

I think the biggest problem is that the model they used looks like some hood rat with extremely negroid features so it triggered everyone.

If he looked like Billy Dee Williams i don't think people would've minded as much.

>>1865412
What was the Somme?

>>1873941
Fact is we were literally used as fodder for the British troops.
We withdrew to let the other allies fight the ottomans.
We then went to the Western Front and won the war by breaking the stalemate and tunneling under the German lines and blowing them up.

So you're welcome for us winning the war.

>>1870918
They are not customizable currently, however I have heard rumors of it coming out later when they add hardcore / update the UI.

>filled the British army with blacks

Out of the 7 British classes (Character models) 1 is black, 1 is Indian and 5 are white, I really don't see how that is considered unresonable.

>>1870621
>The Brits are all Indians. The Americans are all blacks. The Germans are mostly blacks.

This isn't true though, Every faction has 7 classes, each class has a unique, locked character skin.

On the American team 1 is black and 6 are white.
On the British team 1 is black, 1 is Sikh and 5 are white.
On the German team 1 is black and 6 are white.
Austria-Hungarian team is fully white.
Ottoman team is fully turkish.
Italian team is fully italian.

>>1870674
>Despite 3/4 of the playable classes having access to submachine guns
That's not true either.
Assault has SMGs and shotguns.
Medic has Semi-auto rifles.
Support has LMGs.
Scout has bolt-actions
Pilots and Tankers have pistols/carbines or a sawed off shotgun.

All classes have various pistols.

>>1870644
Gallipoli is in the singleplayer, which isn't set during any particular year of the war, the multiplayer on the other hand is set during 1918 so Russia could've been in the SP, but it makes sense to not include them in multiplayer.

The game literally has power armour and your character survives a plane being crashed on top of him.

>>1878226
This, keep in mine it isn't Britain it's the British empire so it is fairly reasonable.

>>1878226
Such proportions never existed in the British army during WW1. Either they had colonial armies where everyone was Indian or African save for a few British officers or had fully white armies. And the former didn't fight at the western front, only in Africa and the middle east.

Only the French and the USA deployed black soldiers in the Western front.

>>1878150
A battle in which half the allied forces were French, taking place at the same moment as another big battle (Verdun) in which all of the allied troops were French

>>1878244
>Such proportions never existed in the British army during WW1.
Yeah, but it's not like there's individual unit models represented for different battles. It's not like any level of organised unit other than small squads exists in the game.
>>1878244
>And the former didn't fight at the western front, only in Africa and the middle east.
A quick search on Wikipedia shows that's horseshit, both the Sikh and West Indian regiments have battle honours on the Western front.

>>1878564
Brits didn't even fight on the western front, by honours do you mean hiding behind the french?

>>1878240

I was exaggerating a bit on the races.

But yes, three of the four core classes have submachine guns. The LMGs function as SMGs and even the medic class has an SMG option.

Fuck off, no one wants to play a nigger in a WWI game. They could have made any pro-nigger game but the one game that the majority of niggers would NEVER be interested in....they make the character a nigger.

Niggers play sports games. The only FPS games they play are in real life and they always lose in level 1.

>>1875838

No, the problem is that they put huge focus on an extremely minor group that had a minimal impact on the war.

Meanwhile, the French barely get even get mentions in load screens.

For that matter, I do not understand why they gave the Brits three of the five campaign areas. It's just too blatant to be anything but a fuck you to the French.

Maybe we'll get France vs Bulgaria eventually. Nah, they'll give that one to Britain, too.

First of all, there are ships that get involved in the fighting.

No, there's no ship-to-ship combat to my knowledge. But why should there be? The fucking game is called BattleFIELD. Take the extra planes and boats when the come along, but it's a ground warfare series.

Complaining about no naval combat in BF is like complaining about no pinewood derbies in Forza.

>>1883054

No, the nonwhite races are overexposed and the integration aspect is ridiculous.
