That big post earlier that had links to the official battlefield page had a link to a discussion of a couple maps from the game, and one of them was the Italian alps with Austria-Hungary fighting the Italians, so it looks like your dreams are coming true.

its a battlefield game. the point of setting it in ww1 is cool ww1 costumes and ww1 themed levels and vehicles. thank of it as a total conversion mod for bf1942 but with nearly identical gameplay but a cool new period theme and much better graphics, which is basically what all of the best battlefield games since then have been.

Fair enough, it does have a very nice style to it but hopefully the bolt actions will be a one shot kill to be viable in close quarters. I think the sniper rifle I saw in the video was a 2 shot though, which would be disappointing

It has been like that in all the recent Battlefield games (except for in some certain situations) so I wouldn't hope for it. Unless you decide to play hardcore.

Weeeell spotting will be in it. I think the scout class will have a flare gun that can spot enemies, I assume it works kinda lika a UAV, but hopefully for a much smaller area.

I love what I've seen so far. There are things I would've absolutely done differently, being a major WWI nerd, but I'm just happy the time period finally gets some lovin'.

I'm okay with that. Game is looking ridiculously good and gunplay looks smooth as gently caress (on a lan with zero latency).

I was looking at the leaderboard at the end of the final big match. Zac Efron and Richard Sherman were the only celebs who know how to play. Sherman was high up, must have capped a lot. Tyrese was 0-7 with 10 points. 10.
I've only played BF3, which I enjoyed. I pretty much hate this era, but drat it looks amazing.

He kinda brags about it which I mean sure it's something to be top dog at a press event but come one man you're playing tank exclusively against people who haven't played before or are on controllers and you've got pocket engineers - sorry medics.

I skipped the start because youtubers saying WHATSUPITSYABOYFUCKENDEADSHITZEROXXXXHERE is universally the worst so I didn't notice bragging. I believe the tank class can repair from inside tanks on their own now though.

Yup. You can see him use it several times throughout the video. It takes a few seconds and repairs only a bit of the full health each time, and he can't move or shoot during it.

I mean I'm sure some of them were faking it, but I also wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of them were intense and into it for a lot of the time despite playing really badly. It's just that they were playing on a zero latency LAN vs. a bunch of people who play FPSs and Battlefield games obsessively, so even if they were solid players in the "dude who plays when his busy schedule permits" sense they're not going to do well when put into an environment where everybody else is the sort of person who will routinely place near the top of any random server they hop on to.

How do planes repair? In BF3 I'd land in some random field outside the map and fix it there so I could stay in one plane for up to an hour lol. Honestly it was pretty lame, hopefully they've got a better idea for BF1. Also any good fighter footage?

One of the 4 maps they've announced is Italy vs Austria Hungary https://www.battlefield.com/games/battlefield-1/maps
The 4 maps appear to be:
Britain defending vs Germany at Amiens (Feat. armored train)- urban map
Britain defending vs Germany on St Quentin Scar- the map we've seen
Italy attacking Austria Hungary at Monte Grappa- Mountaintop fortresses, also features a Zeppelin.
Italy defending vs ??? (probably Austria Hungary) on "Empire's Edge" featuring Dreadnoughts.

Also, apparently the only way to repair vehicles is either a medic with a repair kit, or to spawn in them as the driver/pilot, which switches your class to the pilot/driver class. That class can repair out of combat by holding down X while not moving/shooting. In a plane you can be gliding but I don't think you can direct your plane at all.

Hopefully we return to the days where you skim low and slow over your airfield to rearm and repair.
