The "Boots Taken From A Fallen Comrade" perk will allow your soldier to run 10% faster, the Extra Rations boost gives your soldier 5% additional health.

That one hl2 mod about trench war was pretty fun for the two hours I played it, but I don't really think a ww1 game would be good. I'm not really ready to go back to ww2 either, so hopefully they just do 2145.

I played it for about an hour and it gave me the distinct impression that being a soldier in WWI sucked pretty bad.

Also they had a christmas truce mode which I think is cool.

I am imagining COD with a great war theme and instead of perks that make you better you pick "detriments" that make you worse that you are willing to live with. What are you rolling? "well i am rolling a mozin nagant build with trench foot (-5% run speed) and under supplied (start with only the one spare mag you have to loot ammo from the fallen)."

Yeah they were pretty bad, in fact let's ask the guys who were at the first day of the Somme about how bad they were

Oh wait we can't

Because they all got killed by machine guns

In seriousness, there very much were light machine guns that could be moved around by two man crews near the end.

WW1 BF would suck even besides the primitive vehicles. Weapons of the day just don't suit themselves to mid-range Battlefield fighting. Mostly just bolt-actions and CQB weapons with some emplaced Lewis guns and maybe a battlefield-pickup Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr that gibs infantry. There's no versatility, no "jack of all trades but master of none" weapons like carbines or assault rifles.

Weapons malfunctions would be an interesting (stupid) mechanic since MGs of the day were notoriously awful

The single player campaign would be pretty interesting and fun, but the multiplayer game would have more in common with Battlefront (the new one) than Battlefield. How would the weapons be customizable? How could there be any more than just a few weapons to choose from? I dunno. It sounds like it could be awfully boring.

That being said, the whole trend of having a shitload of weapons to choose from and a shitload of ways to customize them is a relatively new trope in the shooter genre. BF1942 is still the best shooter I've ever played, and it didn't have a ton of weapons to choose from.

Nah, you could throw in the Madsen and the Chauchat as one-man LMGs for the Allied Powers. The German Empire would probably be stuck with the MG 14, but I don't know if it was ever used as a man-portable machine gun. Of course the German lack of a man-portable LMG would probably be mitigated by the MP 18, while the Allies are stuck with crap like the Chauchat-Ribeyrolles and Beretta M1918 for their SMGs.


Chauchat SMG (shoots 8×51mmR)


Beretta "SMG" (shoots .22 lr)

e: everyone could use the Furrer 1919, the original "gangsta style" gun. it's basically a Luger modified to fire full auto jammed sideways into a wooden stock.

e2: Adolf Furrer was one crazy motherfucker

BAR weighed as much as two Springfield 1903s combined. :v: The BAR also isn't even a light machine gun, it's an automatic rifle. It was intended to suppress enemies while walking towards their entrenched positions. This didn't work because they were entrenched with actual Light Machine Guns that made "walking fire" on them pretty much impossible, especially considering the Browning Automatic Rifle's magazine was only 20 rounds.

You want the expansions so you can play on the other maps. If a server has any of the expansion maps in rotation you will not be able to play on the server, even if the active game is currently on one of the base game maps. Also, the non-DLC servers are full of aimbotting and wallhaking thanks to Origin Game Time, which gives anyone with an anonymous email address a free week to play on the base game.

e. there is no con to purchasing the full DLC other than it costs a few extra bucks

More than likely not going to happen but the more i think about a WW1 battlefield the more I like it. Intense dogfights with biplanes, the return of battleships. Imagine a battlefront style walker assault mode where your team is escorting two Mark 1 tanks as they cross no mans land.

Flat damage with a minimum lock-on range would be better than, "It can theoretically kill up to the point when the bullet despawns so it has to really suck 99% of the time." in terms of balance.

The server browser needs an option to filter servers whose ticket rates aren't 1800 (I've seen some go to 2200). I don't want to play for an hour straight, especially once a fight snowballs and one team cannot recover but we still gotta play for another 40 minutes.

Then again I guess that is moot when there is maybe 5 populated servers at a time...
