Battlefield 1

That's the raw BF1 gameplay, which is essentially the MP component, a fleshed out battle complete with trenches and Hindenburgs. And small WW1 tanks.

There is somthing very sinister about WW1, but if you put things together right it could be a great, much more organised game. Needs a commander-mode to unleash havoc. I think the developers are aware of what a bleak setting it really is, but trench warfare was only a part of WW1 a lot can be done

It is actually just trying to recreate the Urban style modern warfare with random weapons and vehicles from the period. The warfare in the OP is closer to WW1, especially with the hand-held machine guns. WW1 shoulder get-up was more akin to this: http://www.sofmilitary.co.uk/media/2...er_pose_01.jpg

And Trench-warfare was basically what was done till the very end of the war. (except in the East)
This only really changed with the Ludendorff offensive in 1918 who managed to break through the trenchs, and was a race of time to win the war before the Americans arrived in significant numbers.

Ofc it's not authentic WW1-warfare gameplay.
That wouldn't be much fun, would it?

- stand in trench
- wait for barrage to stop
- wait for captains signal pipe
- press F to go over the top
- die
- respawn

Machine guns = spawn campers

That said, it might be a fun MP shooter. Haven't played one of those in a while.

Trench-warfare was just the last (and long) phase, but even trench warfare has the potential to be fun if you turn it into an fp/
s/rts hybrid with strong emphasis on planes and tanks and zeppilins (zeppilins having the same role as the AT's in Battlefront) battlefields were completily destroyed so should be plenty of room to hide for infantry and slowly progress. Could become something really focused.

It will be interesting to see how it works out, because WW1 warfare is not suited to the usual Battlefield gameplay. Plus - Hindenburg warfare will be quite a matchup, because it's slow and vulnerable to attacks from the ground.

If I had to guess, they'll make the same BF game they've made the last couple times in a WW1 setting.

Actually Air ships were immune to ground and even air plane attacks for a few years. Until incendiary ammunition for machine guns was developed.

So in essence you could not destroy Hindenburgs...

I wonder if you can in the game, or at least any counter measures against them.
