Here's When Battlefield 1 Beta May Start; Rush Mode Confirmed

@Rushaoz: Look whose ignorant:

You mentioned 1 (ONE) SMG that entered service in 1918, they your the WWI ended.

I just got a quick look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_infantry_weapons_of_World_War_I

Out of 23 countries that took part in WWI there are only 10 weapons that could (and some were) be feasibly used by a single infantryman effectively, two of which are SMGs which entered service in 1918, one SMG that was used on aircraft, and the other seven being LMGs of various sorts:

Beretta M1918 - entered service in 1918, Italy (first mass produced SMG ever)

MP 18 - designed 1916, entered service in 1918, Germany. Used by the Sturmtruppen.

Villar-Perosa aircraft submachine gun - designed 1914, issued to infantry in 1916, Italy. One battalion (300 to 800 soldiers) had first a section (7 to 12 soldiers) and eventually 3 (21 to 36 soldiers) armed with these guns.

Bergmann MG 15nA machine gun, fired from a bipod - designed 1910, entered service in 1915, modernized in 1916, Germany. Ordered in greater quantity (6000 units) after battle of Somme.

Knötgen automatic rifle - designed 1910/11, a two barrel, magazine fed light machine gun, Germany. More information is unavailable, must have been an obscure weapon.

Parabellum MG 14 - designed 1913, entered service 1914, used on aircraft and first German gun to use the synchronizing technology (not to shot the propeller blades off). It wasn’t used by infantry though it could be as it was light enough.

Hotchkiss M1909 Benét–Mercié machine gun - designed in 1901, entered service in 1909, France. Around 700 were built, used in cavalry and tank units. Weighing 12 kg could still be used as an LMG with a bipod.

Chauchat - designer 1907, entered service in 1908, first true LGM but the open magazines sides made it prone to jams due to dirt and mud getting into the gun.

Lewis gun - designed in 1911, entered service in 1914, USA. Used extensively by the British, the German Empire and everyone else. Apart from the Chauchat this is the only automatic weapons that could be used by all sides in BF1 without making it look out of place.

Madsen machine gun - designed in 1896, adopted in 1902, Denmark. As with Chauchat and Lewis gun the last weapon that was employed by many countries, was light enough to be carried by one man, but firing from the hip or aiming down the sights without deploying it on its bipod would be rather counterproductive.

The rest of the automatic weapons of the period were MGs weighing from 15 to 60 kg (with tripods, wheel carts, AA mounts etc.) so they are out of the question.

For a typical infantry soldier bolt action rifles were the only firearms they would ever use during the war, followed by revolvers and pistols (for officers and pilots), shotguns, flamethrowers, grenades and all sorts of medieval style melee weapons. There we just get a ton or artillery pieces starting from mortars and ending with railroad cannons, ships and in late war tanks, which could be outrun by infantry and were is some cases as dangerous to their crews as to the enemy.

@hystavito: not much true about WW1. Yo usee some trailers with a soldier running above a Zeppelin shootinh a automaica submachine gun.

Maybe the story is there (if it have a Single Palyer) but the multiplayer has NOTHING new to offer. It is a BF4 skin, lets face it. A bunch of dudes running around with ALL weapons on automatic. Nah!!! I will keep my Red Orchestra 2 and that's ok for me.

Well, to be fair, the graphics are insane!

@jgui: I'm a BF vet myself. All the way back to BF1942. I put more hours than I would have liked into Desert Combat mod. Battlefield games were NEVER about realism, which seems to me is what you're expecting from BF1. If realism is what you want, Red Orchestra is more you're cup of tea. Except for Bad Company 2, every Battlefield plays the same. Yes the mechanics have evolved (for better IMO) but did you expect them not to? People can vault, sprint, climb over walls, etc. Also, fast paced mindless FPS? What game are you referring to? Just because you can sprint doesn't make a game fast paced. Unreal Tournament is fast paced, not Battlefield.

Not to mention that DICE made very clear that the game would not follow WW1 and would instead be an alternate history WW1. I'm glad they did this. If the game played out the way most people like yourselves wanted it to, it would be extremely boring.

Either ways, whatever floats your boat man. I'm loving it. So are my clanmates and most people that are playing the game now. I just think your opinion is extremely flawed and in-line with most "haters" that don't actually know a thing about the game they're criticizing.

@SHOGUN_YAMATO: Its ok, you can keep Titanfall 2, everyone else will take Battlefield 1.
