It’s not April 1st for another month yet! 😀
As much as i like the theatres of both World Wars i can’t see that WW1 would have as much as WW2 in terms gameplay. Get me right, i played a WW1 mod when BF42 was out and it was very well done and quite enjoyable but there was nothing more satisfying than flying a spitfire and dropping a bomb on a tiger and watching the mofo explode when you switched to rear view. Would the same be possible from bi-planes?
I’ve given up even attempting to fly in modern games; something i always enjoyed in BF42, Vietnam and even 2142 but in BF4 i’ve found it all but impossible to get anywhere before you hear the sound of a lock-on and you’re being taken out. For me and i know i keep on banging on about it but the modern theatre has just too much tech in it. With BF42 you could just get a plane and fly around, have a dogfight against someone and most times hold your own (unless fighting against T00THBRU5H) whereas now with all the upgrades you can get you’re pretty much outgunned against a seasoned “pilot”.
I look forwards to whatever comes next, as long as it’s not another daft cops’n’robbers style game i’ll be buying it – heck i best dig out my Pickelhaube and start digging!! 😉

battlefield 1918 mod
http://www.moddb.com/mods/battlefield-1918
It wasn’t too bad as i recall.
i completely agree WET, for me WW2 was the best era for battlefields/CODS etc as there wasnt the huge amount of weaponry that is around today even on the same side. i would love to see battlefield return to WW2, if its done with some of the modern gameplay ideas i think it would be great, commander from BF2 for example. only can see what soldiers are spotting if they have a soldier with a radio in their squad or something along those lines. plenty of opporunity for smaller maps with a more urban feel and still keep the more open battlefields for vehicular combat.
WW1 isnt a limited as many people think but i do agree that its a very different type of combat to WW2 and preferable for me
WW2 is a great arena, and yes modern warfare settings allow for to many no skill weapons to be introduced.
Keeping an eye on http://www.battaliongame.com/ and see how it pans out (if I get back into gaming!)
the only thing with battalion is that its infantry only, not that i mind that but i love the vehicles, aircraft etc as part of battlefield
how about battlefield:Korea ? it’s almost the forgotten war with very little mention of it yet accounted for huge casualties and brought Britain and America to war with Russia and China.
I’d say the weapons and vehicles would provide a natural balance between both sides much like BF42 did yet there isn’t the dependency on technology like modern but still technologically further ahead than WW2.

yeah that would be a great period of time to base a battlefield game in.
