Before the stalemate began, the Germans came within 43 miles of Paris in about a month. Were most of them marching on foot? That's some serious movement. So even on the western front there is room for more than just trench maps

Yeah, they all pretty much marched. Imagine losing an offensive amount of soldiers in Belgium and Marne and you still have to march in advance or retreat as either side for that distance in the heat. I can't imagine how loving disgustingly exhausting that was.

Edit: also the villar perosa in the gun listing should either be another SMG or some form of machine gun. It's a double barreled double magged version of the M1918.

Yeah, it'll most likely be the SMG version like you said. There were two prototypes that would work in the role they'd mean for BF1:

Want this one:


But we'll most likely get this one:



Torn on the server options. I occasionally try to re-launch BF4, but unless I'm loving up the filter, all I ever see are 24/7 Locker and Metro and like two German servers that kick me for my "high ping" of 100. Meanwhile, I can find a Battlefront game that rotates out game modes and maps relatively easily despite the low player count.

I found the name for one of the unlisted leaked maps, it's called Fao Fortress and basically it will be British Imperial forces landing on a beach and attacking entrenched Ottomans in an old style fortress.

Alos hilariously they found the Scout might be getting a sniper shield thingy as one of their gadgets in the data mining as well. But after the open beta, I'm hoping they'll scrap that idea.

I think this is an option in the server settings.

Also they could have made instant respawn servers unranked and done away with those if they wanted to without throwing out all admin options.

I'm going to be the odd man out and say that BF3's campaign is one of the FPS campaigns I remember most fondly. Not as any part sort of plot really at all, I don't remember a lick of that, but they had a few super amazing set pieces.

The little semi-interactive cutscene of the rough seas carrier launch was awesome. The charge down into Tehran under mortar fire was awesome. The Spetsnaz HALO to the battlefield theme was awesome. All of those little things together made me think "drat, this is Battlefield!" Though granted, the bits tying them together in a plot sucked so bad I don't remember why we were in both Tehran and also there were Russians.

On the other hand BF4's campaign was irredeemable trash garbage with shoehorned score in for leaderboards and super not memorable anything at all.

I hope they bring back something like BF3- just tie together cool combat scenes that make me want to play battlefield more.

Yeah this is really the issue. People congregate on shitfuck servers not because they're fun, but because you get XP/medals/etc fast. Take away that and they would die out no problem.

They also added more hoops to jump through to unlock everything with bonds + XP, so I'm sure clusterfuck servers will be alive and well!

It's already listed as the Beretta 1918.

My guess is the double barrel legit Villar Perosa will show up as a static weapon on Italian front maps, or might be a one-off in the campaign.

They should have just gone with the whole game being alt-history anyway. Solves all complaints about automatic weapons and fully justifies war blimps and armored trains and stuff.

As far as I'm concerned it's already alt-history and good that way.

I dunno about war blimps, but armoured trains were a real thing and were more common than you probably think

During the Russian civil war (after they left WW1) in particular there was a lot of armored train action, mainly with different sub factions running around with them as a mobile base. Including some real life 'Battlefield Moments' where they roll into stations firing away to try in train drivebys to try and steal supplies being guarded by American troops.

Big rear end Zeppelin's did exist and they did some bombing raids on London, It was quite a moment turning war for the average person from 'a thing that soldiers do far away' to 'holy poo poo, total war can actually harm us despite not being soldiers or over there now!'

Not sure about the flying low and machine gunning dudes however.

Part of PLANES PLANES PLANES game mode is basically Zeppelin hunting.

I also feel the same, we better be allowed to dress up in early War uniforms. I want my red pants.
