Please let us be able to shoot the horses with sniper rifles. Can you imagine the potential outrage for being able to do that?

 

Otherwise, looks good. No more lock-on weapons, no UCAVs or IRNV or MAVs or spawn beacons, YES! I said after Battlefield 4 I wasn't going to purchase another Battlefield game, but looks like I'll be changing my mind.

Yep, all the lock on ###### was getting pretty tiresome

Probably a "duh" update ... but Battlefield 1 will have micro/macro transactions per their Q4 2016 Earnings Call (starting about 49:42 into the conference call)

 

As it relates to Battlefield 1 and extra monetization opportunities; taking it a step back anytime we think about extra monetization inside gameplay experience we think about it in two vectors.  1) Are we able to provide value to the gamer in terms of extending and enhancing their experience and 2) are we able to do that in a world where we give them choice.  We never want to be in a place where there is a belief that we are providing a pay to win mechanic inside one of our games.  I think what you've seen from us over the last couple of years is our ability to balance our decision to delivery tremendous value through choice to our players which is why our extra content line of business has continued to grow healthy.  /snip  

In Battlefield 1 you will see both macro-monetization opportunities from us...like maps and large scale content...as well as micro-monetization opportunities...smaller increments of gameplay and then over time what you'll see from us is elements of gameplay that allow gamers to engage, drive , expand and enhance their experience much the way people do with FIFA Ultimate Team or Madden Ultimate Team today."  

 

This isn't verbatim ... was typing as I was listening.

Yeah. I was on board for pre ordering which I typically don't do anymore. Ironically the last game I ever pre ordered was Battlefield 3. But now? Nope.

 

I won't be buying the game until I see how it actually turns out with that bit of news. I'm not ready to scream doom and gloom yet but now I'm being cautious.

If anyone is interested ... this guy covers World War I in great detail (they are all good IMO) ... anyway, he breaks down the Battlefield 1 trailer in pretty great detail (including naming weapons, aircraft, uniforms, ground artillery, places of battle, etc.) and analyzes it to the true events/weaponry/etc. of WW1.  Interesting ... if you're into this kind of stuff...which I am. :)

 

 

... he gives it fairly high remarks on accurate portrayal (solely based on the trailer)...minus a few things of course.

Where is the link to sub to the newsletters, precisely? That link just takes you to the Insider page...

You need to be an Insider to get the earlier access to the Beta....you didn't think it would be that easy did you? :p

EA Play won't be your only opportunity to play before release, though. There will be more chances in the months that follow, including an Open Beta (which you can get into a little earlier if you sign up for Battlefield Insider. EA Access and Origin Access members will be able to play for a limited time before the release date, too. And if you pre-order the Early Enlister Deluxe Edition, you’ll be able to start playing on October 18, three days before the release date.

TBH I have no idea what Insider is...But the page finally loaded correctly and I've "joined". Seems I didn't even need to, seeing as I have EA Access.

Given that in Battlefield 1, you will see both macro monetization opportunities from us like maps and large scale content, as well as micro monetization opportunities, smaller increments of gameplay, and then over time, what you will see from us is elements of gameplay that allow gamers to engage and drive, and extend and enhance their experience, much the way people do with FIFA Ultimate Team or Madden Ultimate Team today. We feel very confident in our ability to deliver that in a way that is deemed valuable by our player, and drives increased engagement over time with them.

They do this for Battlefield 4 as well, and it doesn't impact my experience playing it whatsoever. 

 

As long as purchasing these packs etc is not a requirement, then I will be ok.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By freedonX · Posted

      When I was a teen, I actually believed that the government used to be always be the bad guy. However as an adult, someone who has actually seen the Law work (though not perfect). I now think everyone cries a river. In this specific case, the so called freedom has consequences to society. Anyone who has seen how child are indeed affected, and I don't mean only extreme things like getting drugs or hate crimen , but no one can deny society as a whole has gone down a rabbit hole due to exesive use of internet. Before anyone calls out that it's the parents responsibility. Yes that's true, but the reality your family/kids might be good people. There are 99% out there who are not and have been brain dead by many things on the internet.
