Battlefield 1 Is Announced Alongside An Awesome Trailer

|
, , ,

EA and DICE took the wraps of their newest entry in the Battlefield line and showed off an epic trailer for Battlefield 1 using footage of the in-game engine. If the number”1″ in the name seems suspiciously out of place, it’s because this is actually the 5th game in the series. The 1 signifies DICE going back to the roots in a kind of a reboot to jump start the series to better challenge the seemingly unstoppable behemoth known as “Call of Duty.”

In a word, the trailer is simply breathtaking. The visuals are gorgeous, the environments and carnage are rendered beautifully, and the scale of the battlefield is tremendous. Taking place during the events of World War 1, Dice packed the trailer (and hopefully the game) with everything and anything a player could ask for. We see battles taking place across multiple theaters of war on land, sea and in the air. DICE promises that the game will feel as huge as the real world-wide conflict the game is based on.

Even though Battlefield and Call of Duty mirrored each other in many ways over the years, the latter has moved aggressively into sci-fi territory taking place more and more in the future; the most recent chapter taking the series into space and other planets as shown in the highly disliked trailer for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. As of this writing, the video currently sits at almost 800,000 dislikes; a number that is still growing. As fans clash in forums and social networks over which series is better, it would seem, at least from the initial impressions, that although DICE went in a completely different direction, keeping the combat on Earth and drawing heavily from history, their game feels more expansive than the latest CoD effort.
