If anyone is interested the history that inspired the setting of the beta map, this excellent article here is worth a read.Monocled Falcon posted:Ah, I really like the interrogation mechanic. MAKE PREANIMATED TAKEDOWN MOVES GREAT AGAIN! This will also have a single player campaign, so I imagine at some point you might have to do it to get some intel from a enemy soldier perhaps?

Chronojam posted:Does that origin five dollar thing get you dlc access for games also? Because the idea of paying for BF1 with all DLC while also getting all the other EA games with it as a bonus for two and a half years sounds intriguing. No, it doesn't. Cmon bruh, it's loving EA. If something sounds like you might be getting a good deal, it's a sure sign they're lining up to gently caress you extra hard in the rear end.

It's mostly demos, early access and older games without the dlc. Probably not a bad deal on Xbox but maybe not worth as much on PC. I want to see what games they add to it later this year. We know it will not be getting titanfall 2 for at least a year after release but hopefully other games will be added.

REAL MEN FIGHT IN SHORTS. But yeah, the guys behind the game clearly know and love the conflict despite the mechanics and some of the design not exactly matching the warfare of the era. It's all fun.

Chomp8645 posted:I can see the logic. A lot of people don't want to be revived where they died because they are afraid (often correctly) that they'll just be killed again right away. In previous games it was often annoying to be revived by point-hungry medics when you didn't want to be. It was also a common griefer tactic to revive-kill someone in a cycle. BF3 let you decide if you wanted to get back up or not. If you were shot in the crawling state, you'd stay dead and lose the ticket refund. If you got up and were killed again, the skit could happen all over again.  has gone backwards on the implementation of revives. If they don't incentivise syringe use like they did with capping then medics will replace it with rifle grenades and never look back.Krinkle posted:You could see friendly sniper glares, right? I didn't imagine that? Yes and the best part is the almost invisible friendly blip for added confusion.

How far away do you have to be for a sniper glare to show up? I really wanted to know if the scoped medic rifle gave away my position with a glare or not, and I kept running from E to the ottoman's spawn point and pointing back at my friend who never saw one. Step one was confirming that friendly glare even exists. I think the medic scoped rifle doesn't have a glare.

BF4 had a problem where Assault got the best rifles and could revive. The division of weapons from the class was enough without changing the revive system.

ZAM Article posted:During the war, people in Europe regarded Middle Eastern operations as an expensive and unimportant sideshow I would argue that a lot of people in north america and europe even today still think about everything that is not the western front as a sideshow, or at least imagine all combat playing out similar around the globe, ignoring that other fronts/engagements were a lot less stagnant and even featured some very mobile engagements. Sometimes because people didn't have the manpower to construct and support such vast trench networks across the massive frontlines, just because there were not that many machineguns around, or because they were fighting a never ending guerilla war, binding down allied troops in east Africa for the the complete length of the war (+2 weeks).

I'm hoping BF1 will in a weird small way shatter this view of the conflict and get people book learning or least watching some documentaries now. I'm sort of looking forward to the single campaign now.

We withdrew under cover of night, and then the war ended and we won. When I was in high school we learned about verdun, the somme etc and the existance of a russian front (apparently some germans were tied down over there for most of the war until the communist revolution). At that time Lawrence of Arabia was as relevant to WW1 as Florence Nightingale. Now after watching that channel on youtube, I found out there's a balkans front, a romanian front, a caucasus front, an iraqi front, a persian front, fighting over the german african colonies...

Also, the BBC in the sixties did a fantastic documentary about the whole war with first hand interviews with the men who fought in it. It is all on YouTube. Here is the first episode of of the whole thing with a whole playlist. Prepare to be amazed, saddened and slightly annoyed at the past! If you haven't the time but want a more compact and brief history of the conflict, with restored archived film footage try some World War 1 In Colour too.

There's an excellent book series by Peter Englund that's in the works at the moment. It's basically his earlier book "Stridens Skönhet och Sorg" ("The Beauty and the Sorrow: An Intimiate History of the First World War") but expanded into several volumes with a lot more content, each volume centered at one specific war year and released 100 years afterwards (so book 1914 was released in 2014). I dunno if these new editions are translated into English but even the original "lesser" version is a great read. It's basically the lifestories of a number of people spanning the entire war, from Tommies in the trenches to nurses at the Macedonian Front and Italian stormtroopers in the alps. Highly recommend it. https://www.amazon.com/Beauty-Sorrow-Intimate-History-First/dp/0307739287

And to crosspost this from our own Milhist Thread in Ask Me, goon Trin Tragula since 2014 has been doing a blog covering the events of what happened on each day of the conflict using an almost insane amount of sources. By the time you've caught up to the end of this year the game should be out! Start reading it here! Also, when/how do you get this survey reguarding the beta? I want to fill in some text boxes!

I've played plenty of Battlefield and Call of Duty with goons, and the CoD community is much more kindhearted and inclusive. They like to joke and have their fun, but in a way that's more socially acceptable I guess. I've never thought 'Wow, this guy sounds like he has really dark things in his life and he's probably going to hurt a lot of people" about any of the goons I've played CoD with, but some of BF4's LLJK crew... Yikes.
