I hope they don't break it by going futuristic. Battlefield 4 had a lot to offer, so it's a big challenge to give something even better.

People are speculating that it might be set sometime in the past.

Should have named the thread Battlefield 2016. There is no guarantee that it will be called Battlefield 5, it could also be Battlefield: Bad Company 3.

May 6th - Captain Murika and Bottlefield Phive !!

puns apart, looking forward for the live stream. Should be on 7th May at 1.30 AM IST

[MENTION=156672]Desmond[/MENTION] : will rename title accordingly after the announcement.

Looks like world war 1 setting :hyper:

If so will be using that old rifle in next gen graphics

The trailer does not mention that it is a WW1 setting. Do you have another source?

Just the hype, its neither confirmed nor denied

. I am busy till late tonight (work, movie (cap murika) ) . so I will be on time for the live stream !! so no problem with me, can wait :mrgreen:

.

There haven't been any good world war shooter for a while now. Probably except Rising Storm and Red Orchestra. Would be interesting to have a world war shooter for a change.

They are just trying out different versions in that stream.

so the live stream bak bak has started.....

prom the pre premiere tease, it looked like they are connecting BF4 to 2142 here.....

So it really is a WW1 Battlefield. Nice for a change IMHO.

Also, that Seven Nation Army music.

i cant wait to see how it feels to shoot from on a running horse, must be a bumpy ride.

So Battlefield 1 after Battlefield 4. Noice.

Watched the trailer and got to say the music is awesome so are the zeippelins was bored enough with futuristic exo suits shooters

WW1 is where the modern type of warfare started. No wonder why they put it BF1.
From the stream one can infer that the maps would be very large and epic. Lots of dog fights in propeller planes, heavy machinery, lots of close combat, chemical warfare, and across the globe maps.
It would fun to play something so big in WW1 setting.
Though, I am not betting my money on it initially.

PS : The tanks will most likely accommodate the whole squad in it , and the air warfare would not be so lonely.

Classic Warfare + Modern Warfare on an Epic Scale ~Awesome!
Those who are hating it for being old school are just CoD Hoes and kids who just want everything automatic.

more and more in depth analysis coming up :

but it will be bad if drivers can not get out of their vehicles.

lets hope this time there'll be India specific servers...

This aint gonna happen, there is no proper infrastructure for those in India, even if they are servers available in India, it will be sh!t and laggy. I have played in a few Indian Servers before, I would never play again in those.

Nothing to worry. We will always have Singapore servers with good ping.

There is already a Battlefield 2.

Also, after seeing the India Dota 2 servers, I don't think I would like to have those.

Battlefield will never be played upto full extent in India,not a Battlefield regular here but last time I checked with Battlefield 3 all I got was high spikes in Indian server,played CS GO a lot Indian servers are shitty since EA offices lack the resources in India servers are like Govt offices no one really care if they are up or not,EA should rather pay guys like SoStronk or any other E-sports platform to maintain the servers,and the second problem is the price of the game,its way too much for a mediocre indian to afford seriously Rs 2500/- for game and another 2500 for weapons and new maps? :sleeping_NF: why I am even saying this its EA money hungry *****.

TIL Battlefield 3 has Indian servers.

I doubt the system specs would be reasonable. But the Battlefield games are very well optimized, so I guess it should run decently on relatively lower end hardware provided you turn down all the eye candy.

New teaser released:

That way most players concentrate on getting kills and hardly anyone cares about getting the objectives. I have lost many times because of that. Now that kills aren't that important, players will concentrate on doing other tasks like capping and recon, etc.

Though I agree that lockons suck, but If there were no iglas and stingers, it would just make the aerial vehicles invincible if they weren't already. Too much unbalance.
I don't see the point of javelins though for ground vehicles. They are cancer. A ground vehicle is still highly vulnerable to mines and jeep stuff.

Sent from my ONE E1003 using Tapatalk

They should not be outright removed, but nerfed a bit since they are pretty OP. For example, instead of two active radar missiles, have only one on jets.

Javelins are ok since you need line of sight to actually use it (unless the enemy has someone with PLD). Also, Javelins can be avoided using APS or smoke, giving you time to retreat and relocate. But yes, with PLD + SRAW combo, Javelins become redundant.

Flying in 3rd person gives you a larger field of view. Therefore you can spot enemies without having to move much. You can also keep track of your jet's turns and climbs better in third person.

DirectX 12 is not complete. The only DirectX 12 game right now still does not run perfectly.

Therefore, I doubt that BF1 would run on DirectX 12, but it would definitely run on DirectX 11.

I do get 200fps in game. If I turn off V-sync. I couldnt sign in cause EA Servers were down. After they got up I was getting high ping 250. Still I am in the range of 150 to 200ms. Amazing how people with mid range gear dont believe people regarding Fps

Edit : The latency is 150ms, not 50ms. The "1" was hidden behind the bars ,lol.
Apparently, there are lots of stutters occasionally which I suppose is common for Beta. The game does feel a bit of Battlefront because of the terrain, however the game mechanics are something that will take time to get used to, as it's entirely manual and different than BF4.
Also, the animations kind of suck at times, but anyways they are there for fancy reasons so...

BTW, is it just me or do you guys think the Snipers and Tanks are a bit Over-powered for open-ground infantry ?

there are some grievous bugs in the vaulting mechanics and animation. tanks and planes respawn too slowly, the SMGs are underpowered.

Well I think EA/DICE generally avoids giving server source codes publicly for monetary purpose.
There's also this cheat/hack thing which could be a possible concern for them. There are tons of people using pirated codes to host servers for mp games and people without license/key can play.

Sent from my ONE E1003 using Tapatalk

From business point of view they can dictate the life of the game by owning their own servers and they can choose to pull the plug whenever they want. However considering how long BF3 has been going on, I doubt that they will do that anytime soon.

But since EA is more concerned with piracy, their own servers means that pirates won't be able to play online.

Yes I know that but if I have 10 people then I can create a lobby and play easily. That is not a option in Battlefield titles because I'll have to search a server with 10 open slots and pray that someone else specially premium member doesn't kick in while me and my friends are joining the server. And of course there is ping issue. Ping issue can be eradicated in the games I mentioned through LAN or hosting a hosting a server very near to your place.

From business point of view they can dictate the life of the game by owning their own servers and they can choose to pull the plug whenever they want. However considering how long BF3 has been going on, I doubt that they will do that anytime soon.

But since EA is more concerned with piracy, their own servers means that pirates won't be able to play online.

true. singapore BF3 servers, although far lower in number than what they used to be, still had a queue when checked last week.

but what has surprised is how, in the age when leaks are abundant and expected, server source codes have not been leaked. :\

btw, has the horrible punkbuster crap been done away with BF1?
I saw numerous bans happening in the public chat window during the beta.

wouldnt it be love if they could implement something like this with BF1?
like we all could create a game and others could join in. ping issues could be eliminated for good. and they could have kept official servers for when players would want to jump into an international fray.
i believe anti-cheat can be implemented in lobbied games, although i am not aware how. how is it done in a DOTA lobby?

again, how in effin hell did EA manage to keep the source code for servers under wraps??

Source code leaks are not very common and not very easy either. If it were so easy to hack and steal source code, the source codes of banking apps and other such softwares would be easily available. Any company that uses proper security measures won't have their source code stolen. Same goes for EA who are pretty much paranoid about pirates.

You quoted my reason already. I bought the game but couldn't play because of ping and server issues. So basically I was fcked because EA couldn't handle the servers properly, if there was a provision of private servers then Mani could had created server and I could had played with you guys. Kinda like in Insurgency, GRAW etc but I couldn't because of fckin EA policies. I know I am also at fault because of shitty internet connection, but its gonna continue with me and this game so yeah it left very very bad taste in my mouth. Download a 25 GB game only to find that you can't play the game and then delete the game from your HDD without playing even 10 hrs.

Well I could play 200+ hours on Singapore and even EU servers without issue. Pings were like 70-130

are they revising the gfx settings from the open beta to a higher state?
if not, then i see no reason that i shouldnt hit the 60fps that i had in open beta.

[MENTION=148045]anirbandd[/MENTION], maybe this is for a 60fps+ always at 1080p high. For 1080p Ultra I think a GTX970/780 will be needed.

also, whats the logic of recommending a K-series CPU? just recommend an i7

PS if the 660 is a recommended req, the 960 will be more than happy to tear it apart.

also, its showing that the game CPU heavy and goes light on the GPU.

Battlefield series are not known for having good single player campaigns. I think Bad Company 2 was the exception in that regard.

This looks promising though.

Is that Lawrence Of Arabia?

How long is the SP according to Devs ??

Cher Ami - Wikipedi

On October 3, 1918, Major Charles White Whittlesey and more than 500 men were trapped in a small depression on the side of the hill behind enemy lines without food or ammunition. They were also beginning to receive friendly fire from allied troops who did not know their location. Surrounded by the Germans, many were killed and wounded in the first day and by the second day, just over 190[verification needed] men were still alive. Whittlesey dispatched messages by pigeon.[2] The pigeon carrying the first message, "Many wounded. We cannot evacuate." was shot down. A second bird was sent with the message, "Men are suffering. Can support be sent?" That pigeon also was shot down. Only one homing pigeon was left: "Cher Ami". She was dispatched with a note in a canister on her left leg,

We are along the road parallel to 276.4. Our own artillery is dropping a barrage directly on us. For heaven's sake, stop it.

As Cher Ami tried to fly back home, the Germans saw her rising out of the brush and opened fire. For several moments, Cher Ami flew with bullets zipping through the air all around her.[3] Cher Ami was eventually shot down but managed to take flight again. She arrived back at her loft at division headquarters 25 miles (40 km) to the rear in just 25 minutes, helping to save the lives of the 194 survivors. In this last mission, Cher Ami delivered the message despite having been shot through the breast, blinded in one eye, covered in blood and with a leg hanging only by a tendon.

Cher Ami became the hero of the 77th Infantry Division. Army medics worked long and hard to save her life. They were unable to save her leg, so they carved a small wooden one for her. When she recovered enough to travel, the now one-legged bird was put on a boat to the United States, with General John J. Pershing personally seeing Cher Ami off as she departed France.

Wow...incredible..

Last week, EA revealed it is handling Battlefield 1's server rental process exclusively without help from third-party companies. "Since the servers come from the same provider, it will give everyone the same uniform experience," said EA, and while this doesn't really affect users logistically, the publisher failed to mention how much server rentals will cost.

In a blog post featured on the game's forums, EA and DICE have now revealed the game's server rental prices for both PC and PS4 and Xbox One consoles—with PC players expected to stump up more when the programme rolls out at some point next month.

The prices and rental time periods are as follows:

PC
1 day: $2.99
7 days: $11.99
30 days: $42.99
90 days: $99.99
180 days: $149.99

PlayStation 4/Xbox One
1 day: $1.99
7 days: $7.99
30 days: $26.99
90 days: $64.99
180 days: $99.99
As it stands, it's not clear what features players can expect, nor is pricing besides USD. We've reached out to EA for comment and will update as and when we hear back.

Source: PCGamer

I'll survive many Steam sales with that rental money alone.

How are the prices compared to 3rd party providers? Does anyone know?

Edit: it seems there are no sea servers for bf1...
Well that's disappointing. No bf1 for me I guess

There are no 3rd party providers as well. EA will be hosting all servers.

there will be a time when servers will have auto-admins which will kick players with high pings.

for BF4, EU region servers are notorious for this exact behavior. I have to play on China, SG and Japan servers due to this badmin things, even when 150-180ms does not make much of a difference.

so, custom servers are online and there are no servers in Singapore region!!!!!!!!!

i am pleased to remind you guys that, that time of year has come again.

behold, Fantasyfield V.

Unlike most people, I don't mind a female on the cover art. But everything else seems pretty bullshit. This is the furthest thing from WW2 that I've ever seen.

Looks like Dice will be the next company on EA's chopping block.

lol i actually did not know it was ww2 based. i came to know of it, after watching the trailer and when reading the comments.

one interesting thing though, there will be no premium, but probably there will be micro-transactions.

>probably
Nope, definitely. That is the whole point of removing premium. So that they can get a more steady income.
But I think that will backfire because not many players will buy this game. And as usual EA will blame the players/developers and finally they will shutdown DICE. Especially since they have already acquired Respawn, the developers of Titanfall, there is no need to have two companies working on similar games. Thus the cycle of EA will complete.

^ thats depressing news.

DICE is very important for them. I don't think that it would be shot down so easily. But it's EA, the company who destroyed one of the best RPG makers. So there is that.
