Ottoman Empire in Battlefield 1
Hello everyone.
First of all, i am writing in this topic because there is no Battlefield 1 topic yet or maybe i could not see it.
I am a huge fan of Battlefield series since Battlefield 2.
My main question is this, after that, i will explain why:
Will Ottoman Empire be bad guy in Battlefield 1, like N a z i s were in WWII games? (Note that: N a z i s were bad guys really)
This is why: I wanted to preorder the game. But i saw there will be Lawrence of Arabia DLC. So I think that Ottoman Empire will look like very very bad to make up Lawrence was very very good.
By the way, I am an atheist and I am not a Turkish nationalist or anything. I just have great respect for our grandfathers to defend our lands for us. They fought for their homes, their honour, their dignity. I am not saying Ottoman Empire was goodness angel but in WWI, sons of Ottoman Empire only died to defend their homes.
I am not saying that I do not want to kill Ottoman soldiers. This is a game, I know that. In war, people dies.
I am just saying that I do not want to see my grandfathers in N a z i role in WWI.
Finally I am just copying Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's words to Anzacs soldiers died in Gallipoli:
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours... You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
Please EA, I want to preorder this game so much, just tell me, Ottoman Empire won't be bad guy.
