Right I was talking more about the immediate postwar.

Dressing to impress the guys.

I think the reverence of world war 1 over 2 is twofold. Hindsight and popular culture.

First you get zee girl. Then you get zee Hitler!

Parasite Eve has one of those stories where it sounded really interesting in premise and it was, so long as you didn’t really start thinking deeply about it or learned more than just the bare skin of the science. If you did then the entire premise would get really silly fast.

Right, Battlefield 1 has moments. Brilliant moments where it all works.

Like the single player prologue or one moment in multiplayer I had in the Ardenne putting on a gas mask and wading into a trench shooting anything that moved with a trench gun. Then watching the entire trench turn into a huge brutal melee brawl in…

Personally I find the historical inaccuracies way too immersive breaking to have any real feelings over the game (call it my inner history nerd rage).

This looks really interesting, now I’ll have to track down a copy for my PS2.

Also thinking over it I would highly recommend your secondary grenade for Assault be gas grenades.

On an added note I find the MP18 works far better in medium ranges due to the recoil shooting time allotted to line up shots.

Right but the moment you run into significantly more than the narrow bunkers of Monte Grappa where 1 vs 1 occurs or anything into medium range plus, the Auomatico becomes a lot harder to handle vs the MP18 which can do decently in all those scenarios.

Well isn’t any tip guide when we think about it personal preference of its writer? :p

“Grab a variation of the Auomatico m1918 as soon as you can”

I was hoping more people would catch on to that but I guess not.

Double appropriate because Tolkien and his service record

Yeah it’s kind of an odd one thematically.

I like suez because I’m biased being mainly assault so things get gritty.

While i really enjoyed bf1 trying to tackle the single player with gravitas, I felt that the over abundance of experimental weapons turned a lot of the campaigns into pulp.

Well since we’re talking about Blood Rayne maybe for Halloween Kotaku can run a small article about the weird connection between Blood Rayne and The Blair Witch Project.

Well time for me to play Morricone music then in infinite loop while I wait in anticipation.
