Ooh...hopefully there will be some kind of SP.

Impossible.  Far too original and bold for EA.  If they do it it likely won't be done right.

Verdun has got'em beat if they think they going WWI.  It'll be hoaky if ea does WWI.

I think it is nothing but an early April fool's joke.
The Hallmark of the BF series has always been combined Arms. Fighting a trench war isn't about combined arms at all.

The journalist hinting at it earlier has edited his msg to a more generic one.
Call me cynical, but it probably was his way of getting his 15m of fame. 😀

It is combined arms. Imagine flying your Albatros then jumping out and parachuting, landing into no mans land, bunny hopping to the depot. Reviving dead friends along the way. then gettin in an unmanned British Mk 1 Male Tank back to the front lines.

Wonder what kind of perks you'll get? Resistance to mustard gas?

Maybe a licensing deal with DC to use Wonder Woman in the single player campaign?!

Synchrony!  :D
