The campaign will take less inspiration from "Saving Private Ryan" and more from "Inglorious Bastards".
The out of regulation looks, prosthetics, and weapons are an artistic choice meant to show the Battlefield campaign will be less "serious" than prior campaigns and more focused on goofy fun.- Semi - Confirmed? The campaigns are very much fictionalized but grounded in reality.
The group in the trailer is part of the Special Operations Executive.
The Special Operations Executive was a clandestine spy agency set up by the British to "set Europe ablaze" conducting intelligence gathering, sabotage, and assassination missions in occupied Nazi territory. Comprised of both men and women from many different backgrounds up to and including amputees.- Jossed. They're normal soldiers with wacky customization, but after the trailer DICE toned down the cosmetics so the trailer is not representative of what the actual game looks like.
All the footage we've seen has exclusively covered V's version of the Operations multiplayer mode mode
After all, as much as there is worth deriding in it, Call of Duty: WWII still had all the characters in campaign mode look like they belonged in the conflict the game was set in, with reasonable and expected placement (if not necessarily writing) for both the game's singular female character and correctly placing African-Americans in the US Army into a segregated unit. Only in multiplayer did more nonsensical things such as black women serving in the Wehrmacht show up.Single-player mode will use the similar game mechanics, not unlike Battlefield 1 did, to tell mostly fictional but mostly plausible stories set in the various stages of the war, possibly with of sorts previews of factions that aren't in multiplayer at launch (namely the Soviet Union).
- So far, all footage is of Conquest and Grand Operations. So, semi - confirmed. Also, War Stories is confirmed to be a more realistic than the multiplayer.
The Tides of War campaign, "The Last Tiger" will be a repeat of Star Wars Battlefront 2's campaign.
The description as stated in the BF website describes the German protagonist (a tank commander), beginning to question the moral compass of his country, so he takes the Iden Versio route and defects last-minute to atone for his sins.- Jossed. The loader gets hung for desertion, the driver gets shot by the gunner for trying to surrender, and the commander attempts the same as the screen cuts to black. None defect to the Allies.
The female combatants is universally explained by the high death rate of male soldiers in Battlefield 1
Because of the proliferation of advanced technology and the very very fast paced gameplay, WW-1 in the Battlefield universe has a larger death count and more property destruction, thus creating a very large population gap during the interwar period. To compensate for this, numerous governments enlist women in normal combat roles by the time BFV rolls around. The ending of The Last Tiger...
...doesn't actually have Muller dying. Instead, what really happened was Schroeder shoot Muller twice, injuring him, before he gets shot by the Americans in turn. Muller, though injured, survives to be captured, and is now retelling the story. Why else would the narration be in past tense?.- Maybe, it was his last story he told on (possibly) a hospital bed before succumbing to mortal wounds after Schroeder shot him.
- Counter theory: Muller didn’t get shot at all. The gunfire were the GI’s killing Schroeder.
If the game gets a Asia-Pacific War expansion...
- Potential new maps to be added
- Wake Island (the franchise's fan favourite map)
- Singapore
- Corregidor
- Midway
- Guadalcanal
- Tarawa
- Imphal or Kohima
- Manila
- Iwo Jima
- Potential War Stories
- The first would focus on the many La Résistance movements in Asia against the Japanese particularly in the Philippines and China. Given that this aspect is rarely touched upon by mainstream WWII media it's really long overdue
- The second on the Australian battles of New Guinea, particularly Kokoda and Milne Bay
- The third would star either Merrill's Marauders, the Marine Raiders or any special ops forces of the Allies in the Pacific
- A Perspective Flip similar to the The Last Tiger in which the player gets to control a Japanese soldier in one of the later battles of the war (either Iwo Jima or Okinawa). Like in The Last Tiger the Player Character must deal with diehards among their comrades and commanders who prefer death over perceived disgrace and capture.
The game will eventually continue on to post-World War II eras...
Given that some unlockable cosmetics are something that shouldn't exist in World War II... The British faction possibly represents the Commonwealth as a whole
A bit contrived, but hear me out. you could explain the black troops as being from the West Indies/Jamaica, or one of Britain's many controlled areas in Africa, as historically 600,000 Africans fought for the British, although mainly in Asia or Africa, and you could explain the Asians as being from British Malaya, Singapore, or Hong Kong. not very historically accurate, as neither served in large numbers in the European theatre, but I might be wrong there, and then again, Battlefield 5's multiplayer isn't the best for historical accuracy.
