I went back and played through this again yesterday and was blown away. It is probably the single greatest FPS war mission/scene of all time. I’d never seen a game capture the terrifying essence of war like this. This is truly a work of art and makes it look like two entirely different studios worked on BF1 and BFV.

Well there were some people called Dean Stevenson in World War 1 so yes I guess the names might be real. The Dean Stevenson 's I found died in 1918.

[@johannesaskehov]

exactly.

[@shelbyfoote7904]

The implementation of the characters' names are what resonated with me most, in addition to their birthdays; being that I am lead to wonder of these "random" soldiers' stories, who they were, what they did before the war, if they were married, who they left behind when the telegram was sent stating that he'd been killed in action on the Western Front. The manner in which the game presents a simple name and birthday further humanizes those of the Triple Entente (British, American, Canadian, French etc.)... Though I can't help but also wonder of those men whom the tank gunner is mowing down, for example, as they flee... Despite being the enemy, they have names and birthdays of their own. This content is unprecedented, and I hope that the player walks away with more than just a kill-count...

[@lars4217]

I think it would be great if the developers would implement a feature that displays the names of the man's you killed. to make sure you know that your enemy is just a human too. Ps. Please keep in mind that English is not my native language and I couldn't think of a more suitable word for great.

Man I love the way Dice made this. The A.I feel like real people, some are fighting but others are actually scared and hurt. It doesn't feel like most games where it's just endless A.I. I actually felt bad watching this. Knowing this actually happened. I love the concept where you play as multiple people then play as the main. It felt so real. I love how Battlefield shows you that war is pointless. The campaign is what I'm most excited for and hope it's as good as what I was seeing. Great Job Dice! Oh my gosh Great job!.

yes man, damn yes. You can see a lot of soldiers just running away, or walking disorientated in the battle field...Damn, this feels so real. This piece of art feels so good, so damn good.

[@jasplays6392]

it is very immersive but one thing that they don't have in this game is gore. Like that would make it SO much more real. Anyone else agree?

[@MattMatonti]

no.

[@StephySon]

JasPlays I understand the point yet its also a tad unnecessary. I think they've gotten the brutality clearly shown without having to go full on Tarintino. If it was there I wouldn't be complaining either no doubt but the lack of inclusion isn't hurting the game either

[@Dr._Nope]

I love the way DICE chose to present the gameplay and story. To having you play as multiple soldiers dying in the midst of combat until you got to the real guy, that's great! I don't I've ever seen a game do something like that before! It helps you immerse yourself in this war where everyone's getting killed left and right! The single player department over at DICE has seen some improvements. I like what I see!

I REALLY like this approach to death in a game. I'm just surprised nobody did it sooner in a military shooter. I know they did it in games like ZombiU, but I've never seen it done in a game like Battlefield. It really works well at the whole "failure state" problem in gaming. Overall, it looks great and like they really captured the atmosphere and are trying to humanize the soldiers. This looks good.

I mean just look at the 2 german soldiers at 7:06 the one who is sitting there completely ruined and the other one walking aimlessly around like a zombie.....makes you really think what your great grandparents may have experienced.....

[@ChungMyers]

In other words, they were shellshocked, that happened to lots of soldiers during the war. It isn't because they are dying or actually want to die it paralyzed them and they couldn't control it. Many people say the same thing as you but its wrong. Hopefully that helps understanding that that's what was really going on with the soldiers just going dumb and walking aimlessly.

[@Jannik77220]

I know what shellshock, or 2 thound yard stare, is and i know they dont sit there because they think ''I dont like it here i want home meh'' and i dont know whats wrong with what i said i just wanted to say that this game makes me realise even more how cruel war can be.

[@thiccmilkdaddy8072]

@@Gage-nt It's a bit inconsistent because the one who played this shot one downed soldier but then spared another. However, if you are in the middle of this brutal battlefield you should end any downed enemy in your sight. For one they are suffering and bleeding out, I know I would want a quick shot to the head as my death instead of me slowly bleeding out. Another reason, you are in the middle of a battlefield, you don't know if the downed could pull a sidearm out and shoot you in the back as you are trying to take down their comrades. If there wasn't a battle going on you should show mercy but downed enemies can be just as deadly as enemies who aren't downed. However, I took this all into a "what if this was in real life" so it might not hold up that well.

“We came from all over the world. So many of us thinking this war would be our right of passage-our great adventure. Let me tell you: It was no adventure. New killing machines, like the tank, changed the shape of the war overnight. Luckily they were mostly on our side. Mostly. Instead of adventure, we found fear and in war, the only true equalizer was death. They push… We push… Every once in awhile, we pushed hard enough that the light breaks through the clouds - so a world beyond the war glimmers. Just out of reach.... The war is the world. And the world is the war. But behind every gunsight is a human being. We are those people. We are the jaded. And we are the naive. We are the honorable. And the criminal. We are the bound for Legend. And the lost to history. We are the knights of the sky. The ghosts in the desert. And the rats in the mud. These are our stories.”

That stuff actually resonates with me. Even though it's a game it actually makes me slightly uncomfortable. Games like Company of Heroes for example. When I'm playing CoH2 with my friend, I like all the explosions, but when you drop an arty into a group of soldiers, listening to them cry and such actually makes me not want to play the game anymore. I enjoy ultra immersion but sometimes it's too much. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing by any means, it's all a personal thing.

[@TidusleFlemard]

Keith Davis I actually find it fine. The devs and game writers took their times to convey their feeling about war, it's cruelty, the helplessness of the soldiers, the crass of the battlefield. They may be pacifist and it the game hammered it in your face a bit too much, but the precision on how it's done is impressive.

I'll definitely agree to that. It takes a lot to move me. I've seen executions from ISIS, the wars over there, people getting ruined left and right and that is what it is. But once that add that element of humanity to it, masterful. I guess it lets me know I'm not desensitized.

what would make the a bigger impact along side of the name is a photo of that person in some way ( group picture or single). possible a small bio. This would be presented to you and you must press A / X / SpaceBar to continue.

what joke?

[@World_Premier]

areen khachadouri no

[@areenkhachadouri7754]

oh OK. just a thought

[@TheShadow0212]

+areen khachadouri that's a great idea but i think they want the prologue to feel like a smooth cinematic, that might ruin it. Even stil amazing idea tbh

[@RenegadeShepTheSpacer]

What about having the best of both worlds? Make it smooth, as is, and then give the player post-mission photographs and biographies of the soldiers they fought as. Let those carry over into related missions, unless they die, in which case each biography has a "Killed in Action" notice or some type of remembrance symbol.

[@Lahnapihvi]

11:35 Okay, imagine this scene was at the beginning but ended in the standoff. You couldn't say what happens. Then the rest would be at the very end. Before all of that, you would have two campaigns. One as the Black American, and one as that German soldier that he's having a standoff with. Imagine how awesome this scene would be when you would've played as them both and essentially was rooting for both of them.

[@nawalathhariansyah3263]

That would've been awesome

[@freshbaboboss1665]

But no, they just made stories for Entente-soldjers

[@ruger1405]

I honestly would’ve preferred that instead of what we’d gotten. Although I still do love the campaign

[@OskTheMosk]

It was a French solider not an American one

[@Lahnapihvi]

@@OskTheMosk they are part of the 369th infantry regiment, an exclusively black regiment of american soldiers that was assigned to the french army and used some french equipment, like helmets, belts and pouches. This was done because many white american soldiers refused to serve with black soldiers.

[@Shuki..]

I like how no one shot the soldier who was crying. They just let him be. He was probably some young kid forced into the war

[@lasvegasguestlist]

The sad thing about this war aside from all the death is that those who survived this war came home in shock and were never the same, living the rest of their lives in fear.

[@freshbaboboss1665]

Not all came home with a shock but ok

[@axtaria01]

And also losing their jobs after the war, being on the streets.

[@edgemaxxer1573]

and in the uk the ones that survive are left homeless because not much jobs accepted those men because their disabilities after the war, and also their families didn't do much helping the veterans and won't understand what they've been through

Some were 19 and 18 and probably even younger because they snuck in at a much younger age to help.

[@kotb2000]

makes sense

[@sethk2826]

In real life. Not the game. That would be weird to see 15 year old running around,

[@HappyBabushka]

although it want common to see one it was estimated that there were something like 250,000 child soldiers in the British army during ww1

[@sethk2826]

TheIron Brew yea probably

[@MooN-ml2os]

The game is amazing but the war and its history is just terrifying just imagine you in the middle of ww1 hearing the screaming, people burning alive and seeing the blood of your fellow soldiers its sad and the people who survive mostly go crazy. My favorite part is at the end where the two soldiers stop pointing their guns at each other

[@Aqueox]

Do you feel like a hero yet?

[@blackandwhite5682]

The gamer of PS4 I like your profile picture. Oh, and also I feel that this games gives a good representation of what ww1 is, but it just needs more gore for the added realism. Battlefield games are known for having "clean corpses" within its war games... kinda takes away some of the immersive feel of the gameplay.....

[@aidans.77]

The gamer of PS4 i think the brutality of your allies would be the scariest sight of the war

[@miracozkurt9002]

[@shujahchaudhary2329]

Christopher Morris be glad he wasn't hopping around every second and plus it was a full assault against the enemy so of course he's rushing.

[@colk41]

but to be honest,alot of battles in ww1 was fought in trenchs or head to head combat,more often than not hand to hand combat was the norm and happened more so that gun on gun,so this is pretty accurate in a sence

I am gona rush and noscope! Specialy for you! ;)

I love that new perma-death mechanic in the game. It definitely adds a sense of realism to the game and gives you a sense of the number of casualties in battles. It also keeps the pace of the game flowing and gives you a chance to see the many perspectives of soldiers on the battlefield. I’m really happy that they went with that kind of gameplay design.

[@dayoutubechannel465]

The scene at 8:32 always gets me..

[@mso1ps4]

Yeah, and at 8:46 you can see a stunned German soldier standing in the middle of it all.

[@GoldenNorway1]

Truly reflects the terror of war. -This war. The most bloody war in all of our history... The names of the soldiers on the screen, the soldiers walking into the gunfire, the sound of empty casings hitting the muddy floor. I've never felt like this before in a game... it's really emotional and dramatic. A truly masterpiece og realism and respect to the fallen soldiers. This is our history. This is humanity.

[@tompatou]

Exactly what i was thinking about ^^ When i finished this prologue for the first time, i was so weird.This game makes me think about wars and all that. A reeeaally good (unique) experience :)

[@vitorb.macarthy348]

@@richardescobar9306 yes you are right but ww1 was much worse for the soldiers ho fought It, bacause in ww1 you yould be in a trench for almost 4 years...

"Dream A Little Dream of Me" was written in 1931.... Ok I'm nitpicking lol.

Things that would have made this 13 minutes of gameplay better: -no hitmarker -no HUD I know games don't have to be realistic but this is kinda ruining the experience (hope they have an option where you can hide hitmarker and HUD)

[@Baff0000]

the option is there.

[@HyperkalemiaSineWave]

Jonas Wahl Yeah, all recent BF games thus far have had the option under gameplay. I agree, HUD needs to go off.

And not to forget black and white as there were no color during WW 1 ;)

[@jcaashby3]

I was thinking the same thing as soon as I saw the hit markers. Ill remove them for my SP play through!!

[@richardescobar9306]

The ending was pure beauty

[@roathrobin]

In the beginning it says: ''You're not EXPECTED to survive''... What if you can survive long enough or in the case of the tank crew maybe change its course to save everyone?

[@1212rocketlauncher]

It's probably designed to kill you if you survive for too long.

[@beniciobenzan8567]

yea the enemies would bombard you. And strong enemies. you would be forced to die

[@roathrobin]

It's still a possibility, though. I think that the reason all of the people he plays as are black is because if you survive, you'll get to proceed to the next location that we can see in this preview and eventually get the cut-scene. Another thing that can back this up is the text that appears right after he takes control of the guy after the tank crew, it says: ''NEW OBJECTIVE - HOLD AT ALL COSTS''. Maybe when you survive the phases it tells you to move on to the next one and that's why it's there, otherwise it would be rather pointless.

[@SJEche]

I don't think so, the first guy, the MG guy and the tank guy had to die to get the final cinematic. The other ones, thought, i don't really know. Unless you can survive with the first guy long enough for him to become the guy of the final cinematic (both were black)

[@roathrobin]

All of the people he plays as are black.

Why do they always give this kind of playthrough to someone who feels like they only just started playing FPS games the night before? I know it's to show off the game and not his gameplay per-say and I'm not expecting 360 no scopes or anything but it's cringy to watch at times...

[@ralfidude]

So ignoring nades under your feet and shooting your own team is also what they want to show off? I mean I get what you are saying but I'm more or less referring to the fact that they play like they themselves don't understand how an FPS works.

[@heavymetalarmor9288]

+ralfidude well technically if it was real you wouldnt know a grenade was under you unless u saw it. So i mean whatever. Ur kinda nit picking nothing important

[@guy3480]

wow that was really "meh" way too many automatics

[@guy3480]

there were only 2 automatics shown though...

[@Kapi.23]

I've never seen this narrative structure on a game before, you just don't die and respawn to try again, every man has only one chance, and you will die for no good reason. This looks a lot like more an anti-war FPS game on the single player campaign. Didn't see this coming, can't wait for the release!

[@angelanchundia3987]

[@sopheakseng9647]

I'm not against all wars, only dump war. Don't get me wrong, all wars are hell on earth, but some wars had to be fought. Case in point, WWII. WWI was a dump war.

[@danielantony1882]

Sopheak Seng It's your opinion.

[@heimdal8]

Sopheak Seng totally agree. WW 1 was an utterly pointless war. An entire generation killed because of pride and selfishness among french, brittish and german politicians. Also it set the stage for WW II.

[@treeking9445]

Man WW1 was cool, semi automatics, fully automatics. That gun straight out of Metro 2033. I feel so bad, I didn't know how many African Americans fought though, a shame a video game has to tell the truth in 2016. Respect to all the Americans that died though, can't wait to play.

[@Steininger_Art]

There were approximately 65,000,000 soldiers involved in WW1. Maybe 34,000 max were black, or .05%. For every 2000 white europeans, there was MAYBE 1 black guy. Not to piss on the service of these people, but, it's a MASSIVE over-representation, as usual. Let's see them make a game about the Zulus and have 25% of the characters be french canadian. That's what they did here.

[@ibabcock89]

[@staticxreset]

Thomson Nguyen no, the prologue was trying to show what different soldiers that died in that scene had to experience. They already said that the campaign will let you play as four different characters.

[@perfidiouspomegranate1599]

yes, its to signify how meaningless the average soldier's life was in this war.

[@TheSuperSeanyo]

TheSkrillexKill Five*, an ANZAC, a Bedouin woman, a British tank driver, a Canadian pilot, and an armored Italian infantryman.

[@NASCAR1011000]

i wouldnt really say to say how their life was meaningless, i think its more to signify how young some of the men that died were and how often people died in combat.

[@xyzerion2925]

"More than 60 million soldiers fought in 'The War to End All Wars'." "It ended nothing." It's just such a sudden line that pops up, it shocks the player because we know the second world war happened.

[@RazerzoneVEVO]

I just read the comments, and everyone is complaining that the character shown here was black. I don't have anything against anyone's opinions, but isn't the story going to showcase several characters from different countries and their stories? It would be odd if only the black guy and his team is shown, as the would misrepresent a load, but I don't think that the campaign is going to go in that direction. I could just be stupid though xD

[@mafiacat88]

Eh, honestly I think it's fine. My only issue with it is that quite a few of the other people you are fighting with are white. Generally speaking, you would have white battalions, and black battalions. Not a lot of crossover.

[@RazerzoneVEVO]

mafiacat88 xD Is that so ? Maybe this would be a "once in a blue moon" battle ?
