I was looking at an article about it and saw the promo poster. It looks interesting to me. There have been many "great" wars in the world so it's nice to see a game focusing on something that hasn't been done to death like WWII and all the new "modern" and "future" warfare games. What I have seen of the new Call of Doodie game just looks like a poor-man's Halo or Doom to me. And that new Doom game looks friggin' fantastic IMO.
I never thought I would enjoy games set in "the old days", but when looking back at it, games like Bioshock, Red Dead Redemption and the original Call of Doodie and Medal of Honor games were some very enjoyable games that I couldn't put down.
I'm going to keep my eye on Battlefield 1, though I wish they would change the name to something like "Battlefield WWI." It just sounds stupid adding a "1" to the title.
Just read this on Amazon...
"Earth-shattering Intuitive Destruction - With intuitive destruction no battle is ever the same. Destroy vehicles big and small, and demolish entire buildings. From tiny wooden houses to massive stone forts, even the grounds on which you're fighting can be blasted apart."
They are putting terrain warping back in! They tested it in Battlefield 3 during the beta, but it never seemed to work right I guess, so they abandoned it. I forget if they had it in Bad Company that much, but looks like we are getting proper destruction again and they've talked about "the largest vehicles ever", so I think we are getting usable battleships again and maybe zeppelins. I imagine the Zeppelin could act more like the AC-130 they've had, but I'm stoked either way. I think with this new era of combat, they are finally bringing back the best stuff the series had before that it started to drop.
