BF 5 set in WW1 according to retailer

Realistically speaking DICE wouldn't give us that much power. I would rather see more destruction on maps like Siege of Shanghai. I would love to see a higher player count and more factions. Instead of having maps where it's just two sides, make it 3 and have each battle it out. Artillery, bombers, the works.

Exactly. Bad Company games had a pretty good amount of destruction in them, however, the BF proper games have gone with less destruction and higher player counts.
 
What flavor of Nazi will we be served in this title? Wolfenstein like or more of a snuggling colonel Klink brand?
 
Just like there's no reason EA/DICE can't continue to optimize the Frostbite engine on the XB1...

Console CPUs.

Then make it a feature on PC. I never said consoles had to run it, but it's a shame that games like Battlefield don't utilize the power a PC has. BF4 on PC is simply a prettier and more stable console port.

It's one of the reasons why I don't play major first party games on PC. They're mostly just prettier versions of their console counter parts. Not saying it's bad at all, just not worth building a rig for it when the best PC games don't require a powerful system to play.
 
I'm down for another WW game, especially if DICE can get close to matching the amazing balance they found in 1942.
 
I want it to be WWI for one reason, and it's a big 'un...

BOOM!
German. Spikey. Helmets.
 
Maybe a mix of WW1 WW2 and Vietnam maps just for varieties sake, there are loads of memorable battles to recreate. Also not too fussed on more destruction, I like house to house fighting and tanks/choppers blowing the houses to rubble kind of dulls it for me. I think they have a good mix in BF4 with structures that can't be blown up that are fun to fight in and the mad scramble to get out of a crumbling building while firing your RPG is still exhilarating to this day.
 
Well, that might have just confirmed BF5 going WW1 with "Eastern Front". Nice.
 
Not sure how. There is an Eastern Front in WW2 as well. I think it was called the Patriotic War.
Yep, interestingly was the fight essentially between Germany and Russia. Could be an interesting angle.

I guess the "Protagonists" would be the Russians, as you certainly can't be siding with the Nazis. I loved Enemy at the Gates though, so getting some of that oppressed soldier with limited resources/tech fighting the better trained and equipped German forces could be interesting.

Didn't the Germans pretty much steam-roll the Russians until Stalingrad, though? That could be depressing. It would make for some fun weather-based scenarios if done right .

Ohh, Star Wars Imperial Commando and Mercenaries 3? Please don't mess this up EA... also No Bad Company? COME ON!!!!

Eastern front could mean WW1, 2, or just about any other major battle where the lines were east/west. :txbcool:

It could also be nothing but a placeholder name. So many rumors... so little fact right now.
