I wonder if one part will take place at Gallipoli. Them ANZAC troopers might indicate such a thing.

Will you get a chance to kill Hitler in the single player campaign as he bravely enters no-man's-land to rescue his wounded comrades? He got some medals for that.

Plot twist: at the end of the game the camera zooms directly out from your first person perspective, then turns around and reveals your character: a soldier whose nametag reads "A. Hitler" So many WW2 games have done the "kill Hitler" thing. It's played out. Now is the time to be Hitler.

404notfound posted:More single-player info here: https://www.battlefield.com/news/article/the-single-player-of-battlefield-1 Sounds good. Looks like they took some inspiration from Swedish writer Peter Englund and his ongoing series of books about a great number of unknown troopers during WWI. I like this kind of storytelling better than what COD does nowadays, where your character can do absolutely everthing ever.

EDIT: poo poo, after reading the website I stand corrected there is a Gallipoli bit. Guess the campaign is like 1916 to 1918 then. I wonder if they'll add a sort of campaign section with the French and Russian post release DLC too? SeanBeansShako fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Sep 27, 2016 |

Looks like the stories are split up over time periods. The Runner is Gallipoli from an ANZAC perspective.

There also isn't such a thing as an "ANZAC Soldier" The Aussies and Kiwis looked pretty distinctly different, and it's such a huge part of our national identities that we will fight anyone who confuses/merges the two.  General consensus from vets was that both were great fighting units, with kiwis being a bit more chill and Aussies being more drunk and belligerent, which is basically how it goes today. Also Aussies in Cairo started a riot in a brothel cos some dudes got VD. e] Also Also Gallipoli campaign was mid 1915 - early 16 Radical 90s Wizard fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Sep 27, 2016 |

I couldn't decide if the boys in the trailer were aussies or kiwis, so I just called them ANZAC. Damned if you do, damned if you don't, I suppose. They aren't Portugese, this much I know!

PS, if you thought the bungled landings in Saving Private Ryan were horrifiying your going to be even more disturbed by the Gallipoli landings. Don't get too attached to anyone in that chapter it might not end so well.BigglesSWE posted:I couldn't decide if the boys in the trailer were aussies or kiwis, so I just called them ANZAC. Damned if you do, damned if you don't, I suppose. It'd be nice if the last bit of DLC covered the antics of Portugal, The Belgium Army post Invasion and the Serbians too. Maybe even the Japanese if they need one more thing to do. SeanBeansShako fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Sep 27, 2016 |

BigglesSWE posted:TRAILER TIME The biggest thing I took away from this trailer is that Microsoft is really bad at picking names for their consoles because the voice-over guy at the end said "Xbox One S" and all I could hear was "Xbox One rear end." Also I'm not about to start harping on the dreaded ludonarrative dissonance but "behind every gunsight in a human being... now watch as I pull this sweet barrel roll and ram my landing gear into some human being's face! Woo!" Anyways as dumb as BF3/4's campaigns are they only become bad to me because the characters in them are made of cardboard and don't provide any motivation to keep going at all. Bad Company 2 may have just a linear campaign as anything else but at least it kept you entertained outside of the shooting and interested in the people in it. If BF1 can do that I'll enjoy it for a playthrough or two.

Ok so I'm loving all this but where's the Harlem Hellfighters? This whole time I've been assuming they were going to be one of the flagship chapters in the campaign. Loving the diversity here but I was hoping there would be more? Maybe they're waiting until launch to reveal any information about them? Also I just realized that the Gallipoli campaign is literally Gallipoli the movie. I wonder if we'll meet a young Mel Gibson hmm.

The Nieuport 28 for instance, which was rather "Meh" in comparison to most of the stuff the Germans had at the aerodromes at that stage in the war. The Americans got some SPAD XIII as well, but not nearly as many.

sarmhan posted:ANZAC soldier does mean something though. It was an army corps that combined regiments from both countries. It's like arguing that "British soldier" isn't a thing because English, Scots, and northern Irish people are too different. It's obviously not a complete descriptor but it is a meaningful and relevant one. Yea obviously it means something in a general sense but they were still entirely separate armies with completely different uniforms and stuff, they're not really interchangeable.

I am not going to raise a fuss about this, but I am really disappointed that the Arab woman they chose to put as a positive hero is nothing more than the servant girl of the British rear end in a top hat spy who was planning to help enslave them and ruin them for the next hundred years. Like why not just have her be a rebel against the ottomans and that's that? Why did she need to be the right hand woman of Lawrence?
