You do realize that Germany had black askaris in its army? So the inclusion of a black player model is not less realistic than all the space age guns.
Space age guns... some of the guns in BF1 look like they belong in some steampunk novel

I think von Mudra's post from earlier pages already confirmed about the existence of black German officers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Askari#German_colonies

Making less "hip" games aside. Let's address some 14-years old players with full length bolt-action rifle, getting repeatedly mowed down by Maxim gunners. The gunners raking up all achievements by bodycounts in game, while the riflemen's K/D deficit "forced" them to rage quit and abandon the franchise altogether.

I admit, DICE are being not creative enough with the gameplay to accomodate realism and accuracy, but it's the best they can do. Given they have chosen the theme too creatively, and having such a short development time, it is good already.

And they only used the Mondragon on airships.

Yeah, during the famous airship battle of Verdun, were hundreds of airships clashed, the mondragon really stood out. The german mondragon hitted harder then the british one, but the british, because of the larger 20 round magazine, were able to pull out more shots

There were tons of blacks in the German army...in AFRICA.  There are only a few known blacks to have served in the German military in Europe during the war, and most served as musicians/bandsmen.  That does NOT imply that there were so many blacks who served that they should be represented as a class.  We're talking that there is photographic evidence of 4 blacks that I know of who served in the European theater with the German army, and only 2 are named and their backgrounds known.

And just as a fun fact- there was a black pilot in the Russian Imperial Army, and I even have a photo of a black soldier in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Ignoring the useless discussion of historical accuracy in a AAA game published by EA...

If I play infantry and I wanna kinda immerse myself, it looks like I'll be sticking to the recon class and hopefully modifying its scopes and gadgets to strip it down. It would be easier if they had a way to pre-set the loadout I chose so I can make a loadout for Germans, British etc... without having to change the guns every time.

Interested to see more armies and maps.

EDIT: Saw this leak on reddit; someone (obviously) datamined the alpha files and found some info for the game. Take it how you will;

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_one/comments/4qu1pm/maxi_leak_by_the_big_lobix300/
https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_one/comments/4qwl55/more_bf1_leaks/

important bits, there's a whole damn weapons list and map list. Idk how 'final' these are but they probably give a good indication of things. Also, armies names;
Quote
AUT / AUS (Not Australia - Austria-Hungary.)
GER
FR
ITA
RU
UK
US
OTT / OTM / TK
this probably includes future packs etc...

also a bunch of those camos are probably still holdovers from BF4

cool leak

  Kinda bummed that it looks like bayonets are either on or off depending on your loadout.  I was in hopes that maybe it would work more like RO2 with bayonets being employed might cause a little more sway and inaccuracy to aimed fire.   :'(

GOD DAMMIT. LOOK AT IT. LOOK AT IT WITH YOUR UNWORTHY EYES!

This doesn't make me want to play it, it makes me want someone to MOD it. FOR CHRIST SAKES DICE GIVE IT TO US!

Someone get on some shady Chinese hacker forums and throw bitcoins at them to make them mod this engine. :'(

In all seriousness this game is beautiful. IF I got this game (and that's a big if) and IF I had a computer to run it like this (an even bigger if). This is how I would wanna play the game. HUD-off full-on eye-gasm.

Give me Purple Heart Lane on this Engine, Pegasus, Siege of Giarabub, anything pls.

Given how much flak gaming community has been receiving lately, I doubt modding would be supported by the likes of EA. Even a game like Pokemon Go! is already reported to be child predator-exploitable by the British government. Niantic, Google are curious scientists, EA and the likes are narcissistic corporations, they will not do it for the sake of anti-violence bleeding hearts, I guess. So we should really start farming bitcoins for the Chinese hackers.

Damn that does look really nice. I love the reload animation of the AT gun. But as always not very historically accurate. Has anyone noticed that the tanks are not divided by nation - like the german light tank is the renault. And who new that WW1 era men were so strong they didn't have to deploy LMG's to fire them accurately.  :D

The uniforms are also all incredibly wrong, the weapons for nations are wrong, the gear is wrong....  Basically it's like they fired their historical researchers and did whatever they wanted.

atleast BF1942 had a small mild side sauce of authenticity...

Simply the fact i cannot have a bolt action rifle in the regular "assault" class makes me sick..

Thankfully atleast many people are demanding it towards EA. But then i bet people will be whining when someone who has the skill to aim and shoot in one shot at close range..
