They said this one is WWII. You have Women on the front lines with a fake working arm...

That's confusing on its own.

Also... that's single player right?

I'm just... confused...

Based on WWII with some creative liberties taken because we have enough games that copied WWII exactly as it was

Did they sneak a V2 rocket up the arse of the Churchill tank as well?

If you're going to have English accents then for fucks sake get some Geordies in it.

i'd be interested if it's an alttimeline wwii
but I doubt they'd commit that far. it'll be like battlefield 1, where it's handwaved with "there were prototypes"

was more concerned with planes flying around underneath the treeline, crashing, hitting people and then those involved just hopping right back into the action intrepidly shooting down other planes with single bursts of fire from their handheld weaponry.

move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.

A "Weird War 2" would be interesting enough but this doesn't look like they're going that way. The cutscene to MP swap was interesting/odd, but whatever. Otherwise, welp, looks like an FPS.

All those YT comments about SJWs too, jesus. What, cause there's a girl?

Yeah it looks like they are taking a lot of liberties and trying to put a modern spin on it. Which is kinda cool I guess, I will give it a chance. Even though I did always enjoy the more or less realistic aspect of these games.

I think they're just trying to be more gender inclusive but they made it sound like they were trying to maintain that sense of personal humanity that they had with the War Stories in BF1.

During the reveal ... conference? ... they talked about how they were doing more War Stories here and the first one is about a Norwegian female freedom fighter fighting against German occupation of Norway. So I thought that kinda made sense but yeah the hook hand thing was a little out there.

Also two things I didn't like about the trailer:

1 - The visuals look way too bright and almost cartoony at some points.

2 - There's too much action going on, which sounds weird, but it's not believable action. Like, a jeep crashes and the survivors try to get out and a train falls on top of it and then the one guy gets hit by a plane that crashed and picks up a machine gun and just starts spraying bullets around and OHKO planes left and right like an arcade game.

Actually... yes. I haven't bought a COD game since like Black Ops 3 (only then it was for zombies with my friend and we played it for maybe two nights) but Black Ops 4 trailer got me more hyped just because it looks like something I can play. The BF5 trailer looks like a COD WW2 aimbot video on YT >_>

The more I think about it, the more I can't stop thinking about how the first half of this shit looks just like how Borderlands is. There's action, they show each of the characters in the game, there's a comedic moment (in this case it's the jeep flipping and the train falling on it to kill the guy).

Yeah that was friggin' ridiculous. What about the part after that when he's prone on the ground, *crawling* and just randomly firing a pistol and gets two kills?

It was a little much. But the multiplayer does look like it builds on BF1 so I have no doubt it will be fun. As with BF1 tho Ill have to suspend some disbelief when it comes to historical accuracy.

There were some in the Soviet Union, their female snipers are great.

But on the British and such, yeah no.

And seeing a bunch running around is lore breaking.

Doing it like Finest Hour or something did is fine.

I'm not concerned about the female British fighter in frontline combat, while it's unrealistic they already took liberties in BF1.

But one, the customization looks absolutely ridiculous, from the using a prosthetic in combat to how everyone's gear looks like they threw together a thrift store and surplus outfit, and the trailer is an absolute clusterfuck with too many things going on at once as if everyone is too ADD to focus. What happened to the excellent directing in 1's trailers?

I think I unlocked a clue... German fighter pilots used to get hopped up on amphetamines in WW2 and I think the DICE developers decided to make this trailer while on amphetamines so the only way to really unlock the deeper content hidden here is to pop a few amphetamines.

Apparently they are actually getting rid of health regeneration now so that is becoming a little more realistic.
