A lot of friends of mine have been pretty impressed with how well it runs on all of our machines of various ages. The steep requirements might just be "optimal" requirements.

poo poo, I was running it with a questionable GTX 460. It wasn't pretty, but I could play okay. :shrug:

I see they're going for "Flyboys" logic in their cut-scenes as opposed to the more realistic looking CG work in the 2008 Red Baron film.

maybe. the problem with the old ones(apart from bad company 1 which was good) was that the tried to be cod campaigns. to linear and poo poo like that. apparently this one is more open. who knows. getting the game either way. also its apperently just a bunch of mini stories from different people during various parts of the war.

How about a campaign that is just regular multiplayer matches except while the match is happening a bunch of NPC's are yabbering back and forth and you can barely hear anything they say between the explosions and concentrating on not dying.

I have a 5 year old CPU (i5 2500K) and didn't have any performance issues with the beta

apparently this thing is like the old Athlon XP where you could replace the stock cooler, overclock it, get a non-poo poo video card, and still be able to run every game on high/ultra at a decent framerate even though your CPU is 2-3 years behind the listed min spec.

What's up buddy. I made an effort post about it awhile back in this thread but BF3 is one of my favorite campaigns. Not for any stupid plot (I remember 0% of it) but the unique and exciting set pieces (the rough seas carrier launch, charging into Tehran under mortar fire) were crazy awesome and memorable.

If Bf1's campaign is just disjointed but awesome levels that give you a "holy poo poo this is Battlefield" feeling I'll be happy.

I keep reading around about how the single player is as open ended and multiplayer-ish permitting multiple styles of play. That kinda sounds like what made BC1 so great, with single player levels that were basically just giant maps that you could gently caress around on, with some scripted exceptions. BC2 narrowed it down but still kept it kinda flexible, BF3 was tunnelvision and BF4 made some weak attempts at open ended arenas. BFH seemed to have some Far Cry-ish outpost situations but nothing Battlefield massive.

Really hoping that we're going to get big, replayable single player sandboxes with a fun historical context to match the replayable multiplayer sandbox with fun historical context. My hopes are pretty high tbh.

Though it is interesting that they only really show any SP a month before release. For 3 and 4 they showed a lot of SP before MP.

That certainly was an entertaining trailer. I wish they would have showed more actual gameplay or like part of a mission, but whatever.

The only other details I can find on the SP is from Gamespot which they got from the ESRB ratings:

quote:

Battlefield 1 is set in "various locations" during the Great War. Players will take on the roles of a number of characters as the plot unfolds, including, according to the description, a fighter pilot, an armor crewman, a rebel fighter, and a "message-runner."

i think only 5 have been officially confirmed. as you see in the trailer, you also play as a harlem hellfighter(the black guy in the french helmet) and an Italian in loving juggernaught suit apperently. also dudes fighting on a blimp.

I think you might be right about the message though.
The trailer seemed to show a late-war focus, contrasting the inhumanity of the war with the people fighting to end it. Having the game end with you witnessing the war ending would be a blunt but effective way to complete that experience.
