There's your problem

Better not let those "refugees" hear you say that.
You sound like a nationalist to me, and nationalism = racism.

>tfw I've spent my day off playing Verdun

WW1 France were a bunch of BAMFs, willing to make the sacrifices to protect their homeland. Truly a source of inspiration for Baguette everywhere.

>>30192567

Verdun is the victory of Capitalism over reason.
Jaures predicted it, maudite sois la guerre, et maudits soient les marchands de canons.

If you are not a noble or something where bloodlines matter, or apart of an ancestor worshiping religion, than your ancestors that long ago don't really mean anything.

Like, they could probably dig up graves from that long ago because at this point, those aren't relatives, those are historical relics to be put into museums.

>>30192567
Nono, franz, you cant have bad feelings about that, you will hurt the immigrants feelings, because of white colonialism!

>>30192567
>french
>implying ancestors died in combat
We all know your ancestors killed themselves so they wouldn't have to fight.

But you CAN play as a Nig fighting for the French, so your wrong

>>30200452
Says who, a fucking fan made Wiki? We don't know shit about the game besides a couple interviews a trailer and some pictures.

If they don't include France they're fucking brain dead.

typical

the french were in WW1?

i thought it was mostly fought by refugees, blacks and strong independent womyn?

>>30202067
They released stuff today about the weapons. Lists everything except bolt action rifles. I shit you not.

>>30202192

You forgot the transgender gay lesbian people you fucking transhomophobe

OP I'm Murrican but I think I can relate. I can trace my lineage back to my great great etc. Grandfather who fought in American Revolution. If I tell someone that they usually say "cool". They don't care either.

Well I for one am proud to be their ancestor. Maybe it explains part of who I am. I know less off your history. Once Columbus sailed the Ocean blue we mostly study American history.

Not like they taught about war. I took German in Highschool. In German history I shit you not, there was notes on 1920, then it skipped to 1960. Hmmmmmm. (Inb4 pol blames Jews).

>>30202208
Strange considering they showed bolt action rifles in the trailer. I really hope bolts are a single shot kill to the chest even not on hardcore.

It would be fucking stupid otherwise.

>>30202493
>battlefield
>hardcore

>>30202543
I'm talking about hardcore mode you git, where you take more damage.

>>30192567
To be fair, the most people remember about the French in WW1 was their refusal to get with the times.
There they go marching in formation in their heavy red and blue coats into machine gun fire.
repeatedly

>>30202578
>battlefield
>having a hardcore mode

>>30203299
Not him, but it actually does. Of course, Harcore in BF4 means no radar, no marking, and (maybe) no ammo counter. Not sure if damage is increased or not, but it more or less sucks out the half-fun of BF4 by removing integral features of an Arcade FPS.

>>30202067
They already said the game will have plently of semi autos, BSRS will only be sniper rifles ( which also will be bad at long and close range, what? ) and from what we've seen, everyone is gonna be hipfiring machine guns while running around .

>>30203329
Why would you do that? Battlefield isn't realistic, it's not meant to play realistically. Trying to shoehorn in "realism immersion" shit into a shooter that isn't about it just seems silly

Arguably, the first world war had a bigger impact on human history than the second.

I have a Bulgarian great-grandfather that fought for the Germans against the Russians as a sniper, he earned quite a few medals and even an Iron Cross.
All of which were confiscated when he emigrated to Canada through an American port.

>mfw I heard this for the first time

Finishing up Dan Carlin's series on WW1. By my reckoning what the French have done in defense of their home was heroic.

>>30204301

Dan Carlin is a pretty cool dude desu but he's not a really good historian, pick up some of the books on his reference list if you're really interested.

He's really not bad for listening to something in the car or when you're bored though.

>>30204465
Yeah it's mostly while I'm at work doing menial tasks. His strength seems to be reminding you of the human element. Helps 8 hours go by easier.

You have friends here on /K/ who know the value of such a conflict.
I've got a Great,Great Polish Grand father who served in ww1. I need to do more research, not sure where at. The picture I have of him, has him armed with a Swedish rifle.
Anyway, Don't let them forget! Just bring it up when ever you can.

Hey While were on the subject. Why is it The French get a bad rap and we hear nothing of the Italians?

>tfw don't know about my ancestor's military history due to being a mishmash of immigrant genes from all over Europe

my dad and his dad served, but that's all I know about.

World War I is at least remembered more than the Korean War.

Multiple nations were involved, but no one remembers that. Hell even America doesn't remember Korea except for a series that wasn't even really about it (it was secretly mocking Vietnam).

>>30208852

Jesus, that is some horrible bastardized Krautspeak.

Also, i'm in the same boat as you. Safe to say our ancestors were 99% likely to have been dirt farming serfs who got conscripted into this war and that and did nothing of note.

This reminds me of how many people claim they're "descended from Charlemagne" or Richard the Lionhearted or whatever.... no fuck off, your great grandpa made that shit up one day to sound cool, 99.99% of European people are descended from retarded dirt farming nobodies.

>>30208773
We were monarchist largely because the King wasn't actively trying to kill us. (ok, maybe we were looking for brownie points with other Euros/the Church to try and revolt ourselves) but you also have to admit you Frenchmen were trying to kill us long before the Revolution.

>Btw jour language is fine tho.
