I just love the fact these people are already whining and we've not even seen anything from the game but a logo and blurred rear end screen.

Well they know that they won't get a Holocaust simulator so...

Here's a video of a baby crying over "political correctness" in games nowadays, and specifically in modern shooters.

Boy howdy do I love the salty tears of these maggots...and this one is judging by his channel a real wheraboo as well! Double trouble!

Look forward to Wednseday.

lol wtf is this. Does this guy really think the host for the reveal has any input in the game design? The guy claims that Trevor "aligns himself against the right, including his own president." Jesus christ.

I hope the campaign shows the Wehrmacht as the war criminals they were.

The fact that killing Nazis in videogames is suddenly controversial with certain folks in 2018 shows just what a messed up world we're living in.

The best depiction of a Nazi is the classic 'getting shot from my gun' and hopefully the next Battlefield war stories will have plenty of that.

Mix that with some historical battles, like Arracourt. Outnumbered and undergunned Shermans slaughtering Panthers.

The nature of robots and aliens change from setting to setting, but nazis always did the Holocaust, so gently caress them.

Speaking of nothing, I was once in Narvik and visisted the museum they have there. Took a bunch of pictures including this one:



Text translates to (roughly) "The Germans march out, a nightmare is over".

I just know that some wheraboo out there takes offense that a nazi-occupied country would describe his beloved übermench like that!

Do people still play this game (I'm in EU)? Should I buy it? I haven't played a Battlefield game since BF2 and I want to shoot people in a big setting. But maybe I should wait until the new game?

Game is good and very well populated in Europe. New game this upcoming fall but if you feel you can spend some money then I’d say go for it. I’ve played since day one and only started to play less frequently when they fixed Battlefront 2 recently. But of the two, Battlefield 1 is still the better game and I’m sure I’ll be back soon.

They’re releasing a lot of the DLC content for free right now and there’s some more new modes still coming out, so it’s still a fairly active playerbase. Plus, the new game probably won’t be out until October/November, so if you want some big spectacle shooting I’d recommend giving it a go

A small Eurogoon contingent play regularly. We usually have a squad or so of people.
We only really play Conquest but player population is not a problem. There are dozens of full servers each night.

If you want to join us, give me your Origin id and I'll send over an invite to the Battlefield Bromance discord.

They are good but they get extremely frustrating with imbalanced teams (both numbers and skill). Also some are pretty badly designed and give a huge advantage to the defender. This is more of an issue on certain maps - I think I can count the number of times I've seen the Brits win Gallipoli on one hand, as the first two sectors involve scrambling up an open beachhead through a couple of bottlenecks towards a fortress.

Yeah sadly now I suggest just bailing an operation if it seems the attackers can't get past sector 1 and over half the team is just scout. Pubbies going to pubbie I am afraid.

Excited that WW2 is essentially confirmed!

I wonder if that’s an actual kill animation from MP or if it’s something from SP. Seems like it has to be from MP considering the HUD but would be a weird melee death animation.
