  • DICE believes that" Battlefield" was just, "the right idea, at the right time".
  • As previously said many times before, the dev team have put in a lot of work into researching the World War 1 era, and have done their own testing to bring us a balanced WW I experience.
  • Female characters will ONLY be available in the single-player campaign.
  • Battlefield 1 will NOT feature a 'Commander Mode', as seen previously in Battlefield 4.
  • You are able to fully control the Zeppelin, Battleships, Dreadnought and the armored train.
  • The Zeppelin, Battleships, Dreadnought and armored train will only appear as reinforcements in most gametypes though. They will be awarded to the losing team to try and turn the tide of battle.
  • You can sprint + melee at the same time while having a bayonet equipped and charging the enemy with said bayonet - (This is where aim is key, as your bayonet charge may result in your own death if not aimed properly.) - can round out of stamina & you charge while screaming.
  • Reviving players is a 'needle' animation.
  • Surroundings are almost fully destructible, although DICE chose to leave in a "few non-destructible hard points" based on some negative feedback they received about "the game becomes boring when reduced to nothing but mud and holes."
  • Dynamic weather is confirmed for multiplayer.
  • There are animations for entering vehicles; none for leaving though - this may be to balance the game.
  • The spawn screen map is 3D! You can look down at the raging battle while choosing where you wish to spawn.
  • Anti-tank grenades are said to be very powerful against tanks. (They made get nerfed in the future most likely.)
  • You receive 'Enemy Hit' points - which can vary.
  • Squad orders appear on the bottom right of the screen and have a timer on them (counting down from 1 minute).
  • Melee gameplay is fairly brutal and violent - it appears very satisfying though.
  • Player animations for climbing to higher levels.
  • Guns and other objects can have rain droplets on them when it's raining.
  • Guns also become dirty and muddy if you lay prone on the ground.
  • Spotted enemies will now have their class icon displayed above them.
  • While wearing a gas mask you will not be able to aim down the sights of your weapon.
  • The revives using the Syringe are instant, the charging mechanic from BF4 has been removed.
  • The scopes are done "correctly" in BF: 1, meaning, the scopes do not overlay the entire screen, you just "see through them".
  • The commorose has been greatly improved, allowing you to choose what flag you wish to attack without looking at it, etc.
  • The "levelution" mechanic from BF4 has been completely removed in favor of more "random" events like that of the Zeppelin falling on the map.
  • Parachutes do exist in the game and are given to pilots and players who spawn in planes but then jump out. It is unclear if ALL players are given parachutes at all times.
  • There are unique classes for both Pilots and Tankers. For instance, the Pilot class has no primary weapon, he only has a repairtool.
  • DirectX 12 support has been confirmed for Battlefield: One. Windows 10 owners rejoice!
  • Five player squads are also confirmed, all of the rumors predicting four player squads have been debunked.
  • The announcer uses the WW 1 British Phonetic Alphabet to describe objective points, rather than the standard military alphabet that we think of today. (e.g., Objective A is "Apple" not "Alpha")
  • Horses have been confirmed the be usable in both Multiplayer and singleplayer.
  • "Battlepacks" will be making a return in BF: 1, so expect the same level of micro-transactions as in BF: 4.
  • You can now repair a tank from inside without need a repair tool and without being the Tanker class. This comes at a price though. While self-repairing the vehicle you are unable to move or fire any weapons.
  • When a player is shot in the head their helmet is sometimes blown completely off for added effect.
  • The level of gore in the game appears to have been turned up. Overall there is more blood and more carnage than ever before.
  • Players are now allowed to change their "viewmodel FOV" which allows you to dictate how much you can see of your weapon.
  • All vehicles can now be damaged / disabled in pieces. (e.g., You can destroy the tracks on a tank, immobilizing it, but the guns still work great. You can also damage the wings of a plane, causing it to slow down, but not crash. You can also shoot the gondolas off of the Zeppelin causing them to fall to the ground and explode without taking down the zeppelin itself.)
  • You could dig your own trench with shovels.
  • There will be Capture The Pigeon mode (like Capture The Flag but with pigeons).
  • Conquest, Rush, Air Superiority, Team Deathmatch and Domination will return.
  • Rush is a massive improvement in terms of maps layout compared to BF4's Rush.
  • New game mode called Last Squad Standing that offers one life per round, supposedly this mode has the potential to be competitive.

Good. Can't wait to get the info. Not sure if I will get this first day but I like BF games.

For me as long as there's vehicules, I'm good. A WWII or Vietnam setting could be fun.

I'd say it's either modern or WWII. Futuristic would be directly competing with their other major release Titanfall 2.
Haha I know, I just put it on there for kicks. I personally played the Alpha / Beta for Hardline and hated it. It was the only BF game I never bought.

Looks like you got your wish! Better check the OP!

I definitely agree. I still play BF4 a lot even today. It has turned into a really amazing game at the end. Its too bad that so many people ran away from it due to the problems at launch.

I think myself that the WWI scenario is a bit limiting as far as variety of weapons & vehicles in order to be vaguely historically correct.
I grinded the Division like crazy (60+ hours) when it first came out but it quickly got boring for me. BF never seems to dull!

Well... How does WWII with a fictional story line sound?

WW1 isn't going to happen, the original source of that rumor is about as reliable as an ad from a cereal box. Those images you've posted have already been shown to be fake as well.

Current - near future aligns with what DICE has been doing over the last few years. They've already said BC3 isn't coming any time soon and going back in time isn't desired with the current demographic.
 
#10 ·
Yes!
wheee.gif


Love me some Battlefield, personally hoping for WW2 but i know a lot of people are sick of that era. A WW2 game with 2016 tech and massive battles would even make me buy the inevitable season pass, heck - I'll throw in a pre-order too..

To the OP, any of these will do.. I like all of them.
tongue.gif


  • Battlefield: 2143 (Sequel to 2142)
  • Battlefield Bad Company 3 (Sequel to Bad Company 1 + 2)
  • Battlefield 1944 (Sequel to Battlefield 1942 + 1943)
  • Battlefield 5 (Sequel to Battlefield 3 + 4)
The support that BF4 got has completely renewed my faith in the series, they dropped the ball for sure, but they did their damnedest to pick it back up again. No other military franchise comes close to Battlefield for me. Can't wait to see what they have for us.

I'm down for going back to WW2. Totally.

On a related note, I would really like to see some good, proper WW2 games come out. Especially well rounded SP campaigns. I think we could do a much more accurate and intense Omaha Beach landing with current graphics and robust engines than we were doing back when we were still using the Quake2 or 3 engine.

They called it Titanfall instead of Battlefield 2142: Part Deux

I am stoked to see whats coming, hopefully the event is worth the anticipation.
 
#13 ·
I hope a WWII will be fun. Hopefully we can fly P51's, FW190's as replacements for jets, and some tanks like the M18 Hellcat... I really, really, really hope it's WWII, but I doubt it

Battlefield 2143, with flash back missions to your great great great grandfather fighting in WWI, then flashbacks to your great great grandfather fighting in WWII. BF2143 fighting locations will be that of WWI locations and WWII locations re-imagined in 2143.

Satisfies all the hints of WWI battlefield, while being realistic with the crowd they are trying to appeal the game to.

This is my winning bet.

I think id enjoy slaughtering germans in multiplayer instead.

Eh, I'd enjoy slaughtering anything not American #'Murica lol.

Hmm, yeah, no. Was not impressed with Titanfall.

Would prefer a proper 2143 game.

Haha. When I saw this thread, I read it as "Battlefield World" too.
tongue.gif


That would be cool. Just the next BF game (hopefully good) but on an even larger scale. How about something like Planetside 2 but Battlefield branded.
 
#21 ·
If this game is true to the BF franchise and goes back to maybe a WWII era...something not so "next gen" warfare...I may just have to preorder it...Didn't plan on it but I really think with BF4 and SWBF, DICE is onto something that could make for 1 incredible game.... Now I just have to convince my wife of spending $60-70...hmmm
 
#24 ·
With the cleanup of BF4 i have hopes BF5 will turn out well. I will probably pre order to get beta acess and if I don't feel comfortable I will just cancel and see how launch goes.

LAN or Self Hosting capabilities? No. Then forget it!
