 * And Now for Something Completely Different: In contrast to previous entries in the Battlefield series, which generally cover the modern/near-future era, this one goes all the way back to World War I.
 * Automaton Horse: Not only are horses available (and thus allow for cavalry), but they also turn on a dime.
 * Bayonet Ya: Generally standard for bolt-action rifles, though the game also includes other melee weapons ranging from knives to trench shovels and clubs.
 * BFG: The various anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns.
 * Cool Airship: Zeppelins are mentioned as aerial behemoths comparable to landships.
 * Darker and Edgier: Compared to previous Battlefield games, given the carnage and destruction on display.
 * Everything Breaks: Like other recent entries in the Battlefield series, environments are thoroughly destructible.
 * Rare Guns: There are a number of prototype and limited-production firearms available (including automatic rifles and submachine guns) in contrast to the bolt-action rifles that were much more commonplace during the time.
 * Real Is Brown: Averted. While the Western Front remains infamously bleak, various other theatres are decidedly more colorful but no less brutal.
 * The Red Baron: In addition to old-fashioned dogfights making a return, the Red Baron himself has made cameo appearances in the trailers.
 * Shown Their Work:
 * Many of the weapons and vehicles seen in the game have markings, details and touches that are accurate to the time period.
 * The military alphabet used is that adopted by the British Royal Navy during the Great War, instead of the more familiar NATO callsigns used in the present day.
 * Tank Goodness: Various classes of early tanks are at your disposal, with the most powerful being large, lumbering landships.
 * World War I: The game is set during the Great War and covering various corners of the world.
