Zeebrugge: Historical Easter Eggs Bring New Battlefield 1 Map to Life

[@Rogue9]

Wow, impressive! Looks amazing and I love the historical details. Night maps haven't been my favourites so far in BF1 but maybe this one will change my mind. 😄

[@Flakfire]

Thanks my dude. Loved the video about CODWWII, btw.

[@dexjain1298]

Flakfire NOTICE ME VETY IMPORTANT what if theirs a easteregg where the submarine washes on shore on some map since you did say that it washed on shore and has the same numbers as the real one that washed on shore

[@douglasmodesto168]

I hope that the map Will have some weather "levolution" bringing a storm with some big waves...

[@brock-182]

Douglas Modesto I bet it will

[@Bokator2]

What about the tide increasingly getting bigger and flood a ship

[@danconti5984]

Paracel Storm 2017

[@wtfkae9348]

this is why i love this game

[@reecewalker8618]

The raid of Zeebrugge is celebrated to this day by the Royal Marines Commandos as one of their biggest significant engagements of WW1. In consequence of their success 2 Royal Marines of the 4th battalion were awarded Victoria Crosses, (the highest award in the British armed forces) Captain Edward Bamford DSO, RMLI and Sergeant Norman Augustus Finch. This map is awesome 👌

I have to say that I never really found medals by themselves would be so enticing, but apparantly the Brittish also inducted many of those that showed bravery into an exclusive order (i think veterans that saw frontline combat should also get an extra vote for it) something you may love is the story of the lions of the menin gate, they were donated to australia (i believe it was by request of a general however) to commemorate the sacrifice of the anzac forces, they were then restored in australia but in such a way that the new parts were collored slightly differently than the original parts, given they had suffered shell dammage, this was again, to remember, lest we forget they stood guard at the biggest australian war monument but in 2017 to comemorate I believe the battle of pashendaele, Australia gifted them back to Belgium, they first went on a tour of the commonwealth however, being displayed at exhibitions, but as our moronic art functionaries had let slip that they would put them in a war museum the Australian government justly issued the ultimatum that they MUST again stand guard at the Menin gate, where they had stood guard and survived for 4 years of hell I think that is just amazing, Germans are much less prominently honored however their wargraves are kept just as pristine as those of the Brittish, but their gravestones are grey and usually lay flat on the ground instead of standing upright, this could be symbolic, I know the Brittish cemetaries were initially run by the imperial wargraves commission, so a brittish institution, so likely the germans had a similar one, and it does fit in the artstyle of prussian monuments I also know that at least a good number of lost soldiers were apparantly buried by locals in local cemetaries during the war, seems strange now but the burials during the war were generally done fast and unceremoniously so being buried in a proper cemetary must have been an honor few could hope for. one story of an American pilot who deliberatly crashlanded away from where people could be hurt was apparantly given this treatment, the people probably sent word about him to the Brittish but nothing happened, apparantly however this guy was given a remembrance ceremony every year and in a stroke of luck this knowledge reached a surviving family member who had heard he was mia and declared kia but no body or grave, it must at least be nice to hear that not only was he buried properly but people cared enough to honor his sacrifice every year.

[@RaferJeffersonIII]

My great grandfather was one of the 356 wounded. Royal Marine. 100 years ago right now he was preparing for this suicide mission. Long dead before I was born, but his medals and papers stay with me, because I'm a military history nut and I'll make sure my kids know exactly who he was and what he did, same goes for my other side Grandad who worked on atlantic convoys. Neither job would I have wanted. I'd want to be in a spitfire or a camel.

[@evildoctortaco]

Not only does this map play great and bring a really awesome new aesthetic to the game (I'll admit, the WW1 vibes and atmosphere are probably my favorite part of this game outside of the good combat), and it's also super historically detailed. Like, meticulously authentic in the map itself. Dice deserves applause for this.

[@KrisHandsome]

Flakfire out here getting multi kills and I'm getting demolished before I make it to a flag ~40% of the time

[@StateOfTheMind11225]

Hail, GDI soldier.

[@milosmilovanovic455]

Definitely the next favorite BF map! Thanks for puting the history behind the Zeebrugge, Flak!

[@4TheWinQuinn]

Flakfire your channel is the best for the all the info on the historical aspects of the game, thanks for all the research you do :)

[@koool1681]

I bet the weapon assignments will be like “ kill two sentries with the syringe” or “get a headshot with the AT rocket gun”

[@someaussieguy140]

When are we gunna see a trailer for Turning tides

[@Dyx_DeTcTBa]

It`s for sure can be made only, when the visuals are 100% complete. So, in any mean, not earlier that two last maps will be fully completed with mesh&geometry packed and fully textured. Considering appearance on CTE only Zeebrugge map, i suppose Helgoland is still in designing stage.

[@someaussieguy140]

Слава Сахно good point maybe we will get 2 separate trailers one for Gallipoli and one for the other 2 maps

[@MrDaantjuh13]

Also trailers are made to promote the sales of the DLC, since the DLC is split for premium members, the DLC can be bought as DLC when BOTH DLCs have been released, so expect a trailer around that time. I understand you tho, BF trailers are amazing, and I want to see it aswell.

[@someaussieguy140]

DanTheMan yeah your probably right. If the teaser trailer is anything to go by this trailer will be epic

[@milosmilovanovic455]

I was asking myself and around the youtube for the last 2 months regarding the trailer for new DLC. Im thinking now it wont be released any soon. Or dice just saving money and time to not to make them??? For French DLC trailer came an month earlier before release, for Russian DLC was couple months before release and for TT, there is none yet, so most likely there would not be?

[@The28studio]

Now this is an amazing map with an amazing scary background , think about it ..why Hollywood is too dumb to adapt something like this in a movie ? this raid could be an epic movie with a lot of action sequences . Glad DICE explored this thank you Flake

[@grosb1]

Nice vid, cool to hear about Belgium in a battlefield game for once,I went with my grandparent in Zeebrugge to visit and old submarine in the port when i was a kid, very cool :D

[@isaiahjennings2295]

this why i like dice and this channel so much historical info and Easter eggs

[@The28studio]

DICE devs are just bunch of insane talented fellas who care too much about details ! gg DICE!

[@isaiahjennings2295]

cant wait for the battle of the somme and the canadians in the next dlc

[@konsti85]

Isaiah Jennings In the Next DLC is Germany vs USA

[@leon6679]

I will not lose the hope of submarines included till release.Beside that I think the map plays good and with textures and probably a storm going on it will look incredible

[@yutrops2193]

I am really looking forward to heiligoland

[@ChevyChase301]

NopeNope NopeNope it’s the one I’m looking forward to the most. It looks like each side will get 2 destroyers

[@Bokator2]

This is the perfect dlc for a megladon Easter egg or something.

[@EnrionPC]

they did one easter egg like that of Fort de Vaux look on YT yea and i can't wait for heiligoland i pray they have destroyers on each side , that would be soo awsome

[@Bokator2]

EnRionPC I know but it was very minimal

[@federalfarmer8174]

nice to see DICE show a historical event in game pretty close to how it actually happened. hopefully players can appreciate the interesting history behind this map when it comes out

[@ThePraetorianOfTerra]

Did anybody else's heart sink when when you saw that sailor sitting amongst the debris and bullet holes? It takes something hellish like that to remind us that we aren't invincible nor immortal and in real war, people do die.

[@sqt1278]

I played it yesterday and it is alot better then I thought it would be. One thing though is that it was really spread out.

[@ChevyChase301]

Why the fuck would a 4 map DLC about navel combat include a landlocked map? (Achi Baba)

[@declanolivetti4319]

Apparently Dice wanted to add 2 maps where the ANZACs fought

[@Flakfire]

Because it forms an Operation with Cape Helles.

[@ernestov1777]

Flakfire Is the Zeebrugge map going to be included in a Operation?

[@OnTheSpaceShip]

NightSoldier 81 nope

[@GAMNGgeek]

Joey Kevorkian because that's part of the biggest amphibious land assaults in ww1

[@devilsruin1486]

There are 2 New melee weapons in the CTE

[@JON27M]

Enjoy these wee history skits on top of game info,footage,.thumbs up.

[@ordersquamata930]

What is the weapon on the top of the C-class? It looks like a QF-1 pounder but doesn't shoot fuzed HE shells and its HUD icon is of an LMG. Help me... At 0:34

[@emiliorodriguez6438]

Idk why but DICE is always inspiring me when i played their games :,)

[@BigDaddy-fe6yv]

Flakfire I live in the town next to Hastings where the u boat was found and my great uncle was there when it grounded

[@nlrenzo9432]

It means “sea bridges” in dutch and belgium :D

[@Sell2wales-1941]

When texture added it will look epic.

[@brianthompson8467]

Cant wait for this map it should be a blast !

[@zkvickers2466]

Turning Tides could get the same treatment as They Shall Not Pass. TSNP was only confirmed to have four maps at first but then later on it got two more, Turning Tides could get two more maps later on also, or it could just be four maps

[@Flakfire]

+I Hate Denmark it is four maps.

[@RavenTD46]

Great info.

[@laggingpatriot7778]

I just realized the Submarine in this map is the same beached submarine in heligoland bight

[@GK-lr4nw]

The new dlc is just satisfying to play

[@RebSike]

is Zeebrugge on the Xbox cte yet or just pc?

[@mounir347]

History teacher VS flakfire

[@xixu82]

that last map could be the new noshahar canals from bf3!!!...mmmmm

[@communistsandvich8736]

Immage if there is a destroyed gallion under the sea when you can find a secret weapon: a blunderbuss

[@Platinumsniper]

This is like a WWI Normandie docks raid

[@ThatSB]

Did anyone ever get to play this? By the time this came out population was so low you could get a game together. Best part was when matchmaking put everyone in solo lobbies

[@laoganmafootballclub6632]

Why can't it actually be like a raid?

[@sirleenottruman6940]

funny to see you, the ytbers pronouncing the zeebrugge raid. You make it sound like the zebra brigade! I totaly understand that its not easy for you guys but because I am belgian myself its pretty funny!

[@Flakfire]

At least you're finding humor in it.

[@kaiflood6061]

So it's a Flemish word?

[@sirleenottruman6940]

It is, zeebrugge is a city in Belgium, at the coast

[@BreadKazynski]

If you need to know something you stopped at the right place

[@batman6621]

So where is the map now? Is it still in the cte?

[@mauritzherman]

Hahahaha I love the way he says zeebrugge, i'm from Belgium btw

[@kalavrezosC]

Nice video

[@danielchapmanthefirst]

Do we know the unlock requirements for the weapon as yet??

[@levi1234098765]

I love how you pronounce Zeebrugge. (=

[@YouWhatMate_Official]

I'm on Xbox one and I wasn't able to play it for entire day yesterday and today. And yes, I have the CTE but the servers are terrible, nothing new with DICE.

[@palewrickis1237]

Sea combat was always lacking and rare so this will be a very welcome expansion.

[@relljav]

I’ll Love this map

[@cstrfrk2]

Wasn't there a map like this in either COD WAW or MOH campaign to scuttle the subs in the sub bays ?

[@Bokator2]

Cod waw had a map called sub pens which the marines raided a japanese Sub pen which is out on the sea

[@ramboairsoft9478]

My dad works in Zeebrugge as soldier i life in Brugge Zeebrugge is An militairy base

[@declanolivetti4319]

Were you playing on Xbox one?

[@Flakfire]

PC w controller

[@randycheow5311]

Why this reminds me of the St nazaire raid of WW2

[@smashdominoes8544]

Dude i litterly live in the town Blankerberge its fkn next to it lol

[@rycroft2557]

If battlefield ever makes a ww2 game they need to make a st. naizaire (?) Raid map

[@hunnerd4566]

Is it not on ps4 yet?

[@ISawABear]

a c t u a l

[@BastuGubbar]

wish the sunken ships in the water would be more accesible

[@maximdemeersman4094]

Actually, You pronounced Zeebrugge pretty good

[@MrDaantjuh13]

"zebraguh" Flak I expect better from you, you do an amazing job pronouncing French, German, and English names, but Dutch names are too difficult for you. You pronounce it like say-bruhggggg-uh. Or just type "zeebrugge" into a Dutch text to speech like Google translate

[@voxelatthescreen3631]

DanTheMan don't, it's pronounced completely wrong by google translate

[@MrDaantjuh13]

Voxel At The Screen Google translate does say it right when the text to speech is Dutch

[@voxelatthescreen3631]

DanTheMan as a Belgian I know it's not pronounced right by google, I just tried

[@TimDutch]

Voxel At The Screen no google translate said it good

[@voxelatthescreen3631]

timdutch gaming are you Belgian or Dutch?

[@Atom-Fire]

I want the airship to be able to spawn on any map.

[@beaucoomans206]

Zeebrugge is in my country (Belgium)

[@brock-182]

I really hope we get an Xbox One X enhancement. I want those real-time reflections and volumetric god-rays!

[@cheesecaked2128]

I want them to create a completely water based level

[@patrickazzarella6729]

Maps like Zeebrugge and Albion should be single map operations.

[@thelastwooter]

That’s not what Murphy’s Law is.

[@alex-nl2fq]

Om waiting for that dlc!

[@danconti5984]

But where be my submarines?

[@danconti5984]

[@frogchicken5157]

[@andreamusso1469]

The sea should be rougher (did I spell it properly?) in my opinion

[@Flakfire]

Missing Battlefield 4 are we? :)

[@douglasmodesto168]

Andrea Musso I think the map is in early concept.. maybe the waves will come later

[@alensuta]

Ever been to the sea before?

[@andreamusso1469]

-Flakfire yeah ahah -Alen yes, why? I don't think some more waves would be unrealistic

[@misctype7618]

Noshahar's canals anyone?

[@joeykrainski6215]

Don't see any servers with this in the CTE

[@sovietwombat8194]

Just say Brugge in english and put zee infront of it,it would be much easier then

[@derredviperignaciofuto4097]

There should be a airplane only gamemode

[@istoppedcaring6209]

given that hundreds of thousands died for a bit of territory only to lose it again straight after on other fronts this one clearly isn't that terrible on the other hand a couple casualties vs hundreds of death and wounded is pretty steep, especially when you realise that the germans probably mannaged to remove the wrecks within days anyway, and restore the bridge even faster

I love battle field don’t get me wrong but I suck at the game can anyone give me tips for the game have a wonderful day. thanks.

[@mimikal7548]

I dislike torpedo boat and destroyer balance as it is very unrealistic. Two of the boats' mini-torpedoes should be enough to destroy a destroyer and the auto cannon should do much less damage than it does currently. To balance this, torpedo boats should have to go back to their spawn to resupply, again increasing realism and encouraging tactics.

[@adendsouza888]

That is the most dumbest idea ever. Why would u go back to base to resupply if u already 1 shot your target. Destroyer would be useless, but the HE cannon needs be nerfed against other boats
