if that is true, than i will not buy it! I have enough of World War 2 shooters ;)

If this ends up being true i'll probably buy it, haven't played a MP shooter in years, and my last battlefield game was 2.

So tired of modern/future shooters, they are all the same garbage.

Bring back WW1 & WW2 shooters!

Easy funny part, easy.... *lowers the thing*

WW1 setting sounds definitely more interesting than all these future things.
Wish Call of Duty would try a WW1 or WW2 setting too. :/

probably not true, would still prefer it over futuristic tho

Heh, I remember when pretty much all we got were Saving Private Ryan-inspired WW2 FPS, and people were wishing devs would do something different, preferably something more modern.

Why not the era of napoleonic warfare? With good old muskets. Over 1/2 min to load one bullet. A mind staggering 100 bullets per hours can be shot. Hitting targets further than 50 yards away is pure luck. And after you shot you can't even see if you hit your opponent because of all the smoke. Now that's what i'd call a thrilling game experience.

That sounds interesting. Funny how in this industry, we start out loving something, then we get sick of it and start asking for something else, and right after we get sick of that, we all of a sudden just want to end back up where we started. It'll be nice to see whether our devs are capable of bringing back the WWI(I) shooter atmosphere in grace.

EA taking risks with its long established FPS IP by making it a "tactical shooter" is something that I can commend, if this is actually what they're going with.

You are aware that WW1 isn't World War 2, right?
