BF5 set in WWI? Thoughts?
Absolutely, it's a significant shift from what we're used to with BF4 and hardline (if anyone plays that on PC). The weapon variety is limited, the terrain is similar across maps, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. As you mentioned, it might be too shallow.
What is this question asking? It seeks clarification on the subject and its context relative to a comparison.
It's a completely different vibe. I'm exhausted by all those futuristic FPS games.
Verdun takes place during World War I amidst trench warfare, offering some exciting scenes. I think a BF game would resemble it quite closely, adding biplanes and classic tanks to the mix.
If the game is named BF5, it shouldn't be set during WW2. It wouldn't make sense for it to shift to older eras like BF2, BF3, or BF4 more often. Going back to WW1 doesn't fit well either, as there would be little new content to add. It's better to keep the modern theme going or move toward a near-future setting—though not as extreme as the approaches taken by AW and Blops 3.
