    I´m surprised there´s still no thread about the recently announced Battlefield 1 by Dice.

    Setting: World War 1
    Release: October 21 2016


    Reveal trailer:



    Activision reacts to the reveal trailer:

    If I haven't seen that trailer before (which uses a horrible rendition of Seven Nation Army BTW), I would have thought that EA is also remastering BF 1942...
    Anyway, pretty sure Wingnut already pre-ordered the super duper mega deluxe season pass limited edition Battlefield 1 edition. The rest 5 and a half people on these forums probably don't care, so hence no topic.

    Also, Verdun FTW!

    That was funny!
    Doesn't matter though, Activision will still get their share of millions for the newest Call Of Dootie.

    Well, I care and I´ll play BF 1 this fall :D
    And in my opinion the BF1-trailer is miles better than the CoD.

    I did not! It was the super duper XTRA mega deluxe lifetime season pass ass handed to you limited edition Battlefield 1 edition.

    I don't understand the hate on the new CoD Infinite Warfare trailer though. It looks interesting. Trailer isn't as cinematic as the BF1 is, but at least it's something different.

    Guess that makes you two then :D.
    And beats me, haven't seen latest COD trailer, just know general information about, so can't really judge one with another.

    Wait, you mean you bought one level below?!?
    Now you won't get pre-order weapon skins, an extra horse type, and the ability to use Gatling gun class...

    Agreed, I will be buying this.. Only reason to buy COD this year is remastered COD4... I will pre order when cdkeys has the BF1 premium edition for pre-order.. Normal BF1 key is £29.99 which I can afford :)

    Love the trailer, looks like it will be fun!
    I bought Verdun in early access, but it was extremely buggy at that time.

    I'm pretty hyped, I've always wanted a World War 1 shooter but anyone I brought up the idea to said I was retarded for thinking that.

    I haven't played it a lot (actually only 1,5h), but it was pretty awesome when I tried it.

    I was curious when this thread was going to pop up... I personally can't wait, will definitely pick up at launch assuming no major show stoppers. Love the trailer, love they are doing something at least a little different.

    Very excited.

    And, I haven't seen it, but that Office parody is absolutely fantastic lol

    Well considering Infinite Warfare is well on its way to the most disliked video in YouTube history I think gamers have spoken pretty loudly on what they want/wanted. Some are peeved that IW is being greedy as all F and making you purchase that garbage piece of crap they're releasing just to get the remastered COD4. Most are pissed off at how terrible the game looks, the engine is dated, and its the same rehashed pos game they've been releasing for years now.

    Its the same game with a different skin. Finally gamers are admitting to franchise fatigue and ready to play and experience something completely different. I almost preordered, but am waiting to see a bit more content before I decide either way. Also the beta will be open to all.

    That office themed reaction video is pure gold.

    I got franchise fatigue with bf4 big time. I think I've only played about 3 hours since I got it day 1.
    I haven't checked out this trailer yet but if it's more like 1942 I'll be interested.

    I played alot of BF4 and then took a break. Later I was gonna start again and bought the Premium-pack, played half an evening and haven´t touched it since. Best money ever spent :p

    There have been too many modern day and futuristic shooters lately and I´m glad they went back in time. Remember when we only had WW2-shooters flooding the market and Modern Warfare swooped in? This shift is long overdue imo.

    Hopefully we´ll some gameplay at the EA event around E3.

    Based on the video from the Activision CEO (or whatever lead guy it was) he basically sounded like they don't care about dislikes, BO2 originally had a horrible initial reaction but it's one of the most beloved CoD games. Plus they said pre-orders are highest they've been. So despite the number of dislikes on YouTube CoD players don't talk with their wallets like they should.

    And that's what I was talking about. Like Youtube dislikes ever mean't something for a hyped/well known things.
    New COD will get craploads of money, so will the new rebooted Ghostbusters movie, even though its trailer also had a bad reception.
