Yeah I can't wait to play as an Austro-Hungarian soldier freezing to death in the Caparthian mountains because I was equipped with a summer uniform in the winter.

you could also spawn as russian soldier and be tasked with running into machine gun fire because the germans have to run out of ammo sometime, right?

I'm waiting for actual gameplay before I board the hype train, although that trailer was cool. but let's not forget the star wars battlefront trailer was cool, and that game died in terms of player base in 3 weeks on the PC.

there's a ton of questions I want answers to before I can make any opinion. how are they handling TTK and classes? sure the machine guns will work fine, but how are they handling everyone in the infantry having a bolt action rifle for the most part? and speaking of machine guns, are they going to make that a class when a machine gun in WWI was like a 3 person job since the gun and tripod were 100+ pounds without including ammo or water cans for cooling the barrel in the common water cooled MGs? what are they doing for an unlocks system in a time period where optics and other such equipment common to the BF series since BC2 don't exist? how are they going to make tanks even worthwhile to play in when they move at like 5 mph at best? are the zeppelins there just for show, or are they going to simply be rips of the AT-ATs from battlefront's walker assault mode, or are they going to be unique pilotable vehicles? is artillery going to be a player used object or a commander use asset like BF2 or a "spot and shoot" thing like the mortar strike from the recon class in BC2? simple things like that where if they keep to their reality standards are going to be a huge change in gameplay from the previous games.

I mean I want to be excited, but after the nonsense we've been given from DICE for the past iterations of the game I need some gameplay stuff to prove to me that this isn't going to be some knockoff hardline or star wars battlefront garbage. I'm also concerned over development time, considering DICE Stockholm is their major release studio and they did battlefront and mirror's edge 2 just recently. if this is going to be anything more than a lightened up port of BF4 or battlefront, they haven't had a whole lot of time to do much of anything.

I'm not sold. Not until I see actual unscripted gameplay that shows how the game mechanics will work. My fear is that this is effectively going to be all infantry only, with anything that would be interesting ending up as a rip from battlefront's walker assault mode or a scripted action that the players can't control.

If BF5 is a shitty reskin of Battlefront... the franchise will die. It's hard to believe they would pull something like that after BF4.

But now that you've pointed out the possibility, I have a sick feeling you're 100% right.

Best part about WWI aircraft is that they'll finally be moving a realistic speed. Always fun to have your 5th generation air superiority fighter with supersonic cruise limited to 300kph.

Introducing new class exclusive for Russian team: The Commissar. Uses only pistols. When you have a commissar in squad, squad members can respawn at him instantly but they cannot move backwards. They also get 25% speed boost.

I'm excited, but I agree entirely with matsif. There's no way of telling how good it'll be until we see some proper gameplay. I'm hoping they've learnt their lessons from Hardline and Battlefront. BF4 has more players online than these two, and it's over two and a half years old now. I'm not saying BF4 is perfect, more talking about the large gameplay style.

Regardless, apparently they're using a lot of rarer weapons to keep things interesting. Not as realistic, but we won't all be running around with bold action rifles, which I'm pretty happy about.

So much hype!!1!u!
Pilot and Tank classes!
Also there will apparently be location-specific damage for at least planes (i.e. holes in wings slow you down) not just healthy vs disabled vs dead.
