boomp

war isn't a game

its pretty hard for me to get excited by a WW2 shooter these days. none of them offer much difference from each other and there are tons to pick from. just on steam alone you can play COD WAW, COD WW2, hell let loose, post scriptum, battlefield V, and probably even more im forgetting.

This is a WW1 game, not WW2.

so less guns and more trenches, the only way left to innovate in the FPS genre is with movement systems like titanfall and halo 5 and these historical boots on the ground games dont offer that

>the only way left to innovate in the FPS genre is with movement systems like titanfall and halo 5
This is really bad bait.

Doesn't look very interesting to me, desu. What does this game offer that prior WWI shooters (Battlefield 1, Verdun) didn't? At first I thought it might have an extensive single player campaign to mark it out, but it looks like this is multiplayer only. Damn shame, I'd love to play a genuinely innovative WWI game with a solid single player experience.

what are you going to do differently in a WW1 game that i cannot get in any of the established games with playerbases that i already own?

their all white? its 2020 this game is gonna flop.

50v50 multiplayer hardcore shooter with much more historical accuracy than BF1. It's being developed by the Squad devs.

Pretty excited. I actually reinstalled BF1 today by coincidence. Looks like Verduns realism combined with the grandiosity of BF1.

ill be surprised if it can hold a playerbase large enough to have consistent 50 v 50 a week after it comes out. even if you have a better game mechanically, people are going to stick with the names they know like battlefield

Time will tell if the game lives up to its expectations of players who are familiar with more hardcore shooters. Sure it won't be as popular as battlefield, but that's not surprising.

Anyone remembers the name of that WW1 game that featured a consistent world like Planetside, view from top, resources had to be managed and I remember some reddit shit would switch to the other side to sabotage.

Blatantly untrue. The best way to innovate is to have good map design and shooting mechanics. Neither of which exist in modern game design.

>western front
Boring
Give me italy, romania,greece,africa or middle east

Foxhole? Although that's WW2.

I'm sure the devs will add more theaters/factions later on.

How is this going to be any different than the rest of the 1000 other WW1/WW2 games? It looks way too generic. Watching the trailer feels like I've played it already. There's nothing new, there won't be enough there to grab and keep enough players and it will eventually fall after 1 week.

Based Ottoman.

>Verdun "classes" were basically positions in squads and the squads were based of specific forces
>The longest gun available to the Canadian squad was a sawed off rifle, and only like 1 guy in the squad got it if he wanted it, otherwise it was all revolvers and grenades
>Included one fucking madlad class of 5 grenades and a club, no gun at all
Any game that doesn't let me play as a psychotic leaf is a shitty WW1 game

looks like verdun
is it the same people?

>all MGs use the same audio
I mean it's EA, I guess.

>multiplayer
i sleep

The devs for verdun were thinking of going here next judging from their last poll desu. I'm looking forward to some alpine fights between Italy and Austria-Hungary.

BF1 was pretty good towards the kebabs tho. A grand operation and 2 sp campaigns starring them. Suez Canal, Sinai Desert and Fao Fortress have been burned into my brain because of much I played them as the turks.

The Ross and Webley bayonet are the only reasons for I would play the leafs for desu. That straight pull is a beast.

To be fair gas spam and nades followed by a night of seal clubbing is the only way to become a true leaf. Smgs and shotguns are for the gays.

looks gud but

>50 v 50

why are wargames always so tiny? Planetside has spoiled me forever I guess

I wish realism fags got this, nobody wants to play same old shit 100x times
We have
RO2, squad, Verdun, Hell let loose, Insurgency Arma

Yes, "BUT ITS WW1 NOW", but when your guns kill in one hit it doesn't really matter, its just not fun

Been watching this since it was announced glad to see the french being in first rather than being regulated to dlc like what happened with BF1. I might get a pc just for this if they decide that a console port isn't worth pursuing.

git gud

ah nice i loved The Wire

dead thread bruh

Even the trailer is trying to be BF1 too much with the music. It'll be dead within a week outside of Europe.
