[]The name is Battlefield One. World War One.
[*]Casey Al-kaisy, the Online Marketing Manager for EA DICE on Battlefield, tweeted that “I don’t think people will expect this one!”[/URL], meaning it probably isn’t an era that BF has been in before. (thanks to[URL=‘https://www.reddit.com/u/TehDarkArchon’]/u/TehDarkArchon)
