Battlefield 1 Single Player - (Prologue) Storm Of Steel - (no commentary)

[@olleronn616]

A very cool detail they've captured is the fact that African-American troops often fought alongside Frenchmen, rather than their fellow countrymen.

[@Trocron]

Yeah I agree! They should've definitely had a war story about the harlem hellfighters, that would've been so cool!

[@bobodenkirk9086]

@@Trocron The prologue actually is about the harlem hellfighters

[@Remnant197]

@@bobodenkirk9086 its more of a shamble. What would've been better if they made the epilogue as a Harlem Hellfighters misson. Basically a Domination match with you and the AI but you always spawn as a different soilder when you die, like the prologue

[@omegaprime516]

Due to the fact parts of Africa were France provence territories around WW1. Seeing as that was the defacto government where as u.s. was not at the time. This checks in with the no shit clinic.

[@patriktoth3346]

Actually..The Afro-American troops are the most feared mens on the battlefield..The germans named them "Hellfighters".

[@male5017]

The prologue reminds me of how bloody and crazy WW1 was.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5nYkGpti7pnqqM I watched this video after watching Bf1 prologue and found even some similarities, especially in melee fighting. I mean really the only way to show the war was this type of system where the soldier just dies and switches to another one. Because it absolutely looked like you are not expected to survive.

[@nessfinesse1378]

Small detail just shows how families could be lost during battle. The names for the last two soldier he plays as are named Clarence Point Coupee and Clinton Point Coupee born 1897 and 1899 respectively. I know these names and DOB are randomly generated when you die but seeing as how they share a last name and close birth years they could have been brothers. Am I looking too deep into this? Yes. But is it worth pointing out? Still yes.

[@anarchonazbol6768]

Could be a pal battalion. They stoped those after a while when whole towns were wiped out in one battle.

[@ayrtonpietrobelli6972]

honestly after a while i believe you aren’t reaching, they included a man distraught in the battlefield, they understood what was going on

[@davelo3506]

No your not looking too deep, I saw these names too when I played the game, they are brothers, one is just two years older, the sad part is that Clinton never knew his brother died, before he faced the inevitable himself

[@davelo3506]

If you look at the years the younger brother was 15 and the older was 17...that's why that they say "this war ended nothing."

[@davelo3506]

"we were just children..."

[@charakiga]

Fun fact: americans considered black troops useless and good for nothing, they sent them with the french troops, warning french commanders about this. French commanders mostly didn't listen and let them fight along side them. They were right to do so, germans called them the "hellfighters", and the french respected their bravery a lot.

[@rainbowpeanut2568]

Viva la France

[@Luke_Danger]

Honestly, I think what makes this scary as a thematic introduction to the game is that despite the fact that you are still playing the traditional FPS hero, it's still not enough. You still have inhuman pain tolerance, you still have regeneration, you can still have mechanical perfection in your gun use despite having been shot, filled with shrapnel, set on fire, etc... and it still isn't enough because they took off the seemingly innocuous things like no traps that you have no way of predicting killing you if it isn't part of the plot. I think that makes it scarier than had they just made it 'one shot you die' and shut off the HUD and everything. The idea that put in a "real" situation, the power fantasy of the FPS would only delay the inevitable and still won't be enough to save you from getting randomly killed off. As far as a way to get it into the player's heads just how brutal the combat of WWI was within the limits they could just because of the medium, that's probably the most effective way to do it: to use the traditional tropes of the genre to *enhance* how terrifying it is despite using them straight.

[@chiefdemic]

It is as perfect for a VIDEO GAME. If you put all those mechanics in a video game, no one would be able to play it. Every few seconds after spawning you would just die. And let me remind you that , it is still a video game. Those mechanics are that movies and real life are. If you switch those then people would hate both movies and video games for how unrealistic the movies are an how impossible are the video games..

Interesting fact, I played this game on easy and if you survive long enough you automatically die.

Yeah artillery kills you which brings up a good view on the war. You could fight as hard as possible, but the average soldier could do nothing against artillery and mortars.

What will happen if you don't die in Storm of Steel?

[@joshuamcsanders1950]

Every character up until the last one is forced to die. First part: If you live long enough, artillery wipes out the position killing you and everyone around you. 2nd part: Church will get more and more overrun until you die. Tank part: Set path, you die no matter what. Last part: I think they make you die at least 4 times before you get to the black character you see in the beginning.

[@Bosnite]

[@charakiga]

It's not meant to be relatable, you see them die like they're nothing, one by one, they are from all different kind of countries and aren't you, they lived horrors far beyond all you could ever imagine, it humanizes them with a name, a voice, and a birthday, then immediately kills them. That's what the game tries to make the player feel in the prologue, the Great War was hell and soldiers weren't expected to survive
