Game devs usually don't make non-fantasy WWI games because they would be rather boring - most of the time, it's just sitting in a trench and trying not to get hit. Also weapons weren't that diverse (except some extremes), so there's not much room for arcade fun here either. EA probably ran out of ideas and will make an overhyped, overmarketed clone of a clone. But maybe they'll make something like H&G, minus the game-killing grind since it won't (?) be free to play.
I doubt they have balls big enough to pull a ww1 game through, but I would love to see an authentic BF game set up in that period. It's all true about lack of weapons, but they could focus on tanks, airplanes, zeppelins, cavalry, etc. chance is slim though...
If it has anything to do with even close future - I will skip this game, as I skipped hardline.
It's about time they go back to the good old WW2, and let us clear a village screaming "За родину! За Сталина! Урааааааа!" I want political officer class equipped with a red flag, and machinegun squad preventing enemies of the Soviet people to retreat from the battlefield!
