The term "AI" has been used in video games since their inception, but it rarely means true artificial intelligence. Instead, it's a generic term to describe a preprogrammed opponent or character that feigns intelligence but is really just following a narrow set of instructions. This is slowly changing, though -- and the people who build video games are helping out. At GDC today, EA announced that it's been training AI agents in 2016's WWI shooter Battlefield 1.The company says it's the first time this sort of work has been done in a high-budget AAA title (which is disputable), but more importantly, it says the methods it's developing will help improve future games: providing tougher, more realistic enemies for human players and giving developers new ways to debug their software. EA's AI agents -- which, unlike bots, are expected to learn how to play instead of merely following instructions -- are being trained using a combination of two standard methods: imitation learning and reinforcement learning.

We've already seen Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and now it's time to get a look at the competition. EA, DICE and The Daily Show host Trevor Noah are set to reveal Battlefield 5 today at 4:00 p.m. ET, pulling back the curtain on EA's flagship game for the fall release season. We know some things about Battlefield 5, but there are some big questions as well. The first thing to watch for is the setting: it's widely rumored that DICE will be following Battlefield 1 with a game set in World War 2, an idea that the developer appeared to confirm with a teaser featuring WW2-specific iconography. The series started in 2002 with Battlefield 1942, adding in the franchise's signature large-scale combat to what was at the time the standard setting for a AAA shooter.

We recently got a look at Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and tomorrow it's time for EA and DICE to pull the curtain off of Battlefield 5 in a reveal stream hosted by The Daily Show's Trevor Noah, of all people -- it seems the events department got the memo about the charming if very strange Battlefield 1 reveal in 2016. The Battlefield 5 reveal stream is happening tomorrow, May 23 at 4 p.m. ET. We don't know exactly what to expect, but a new teaser posted on Twitter today would appear to confirm earlier rumors that the series is returning to World War 2 for its 2018 installment, following the successful throwback to World War 1 for Battlefield 1. The teaser isn't all that specific, but as Eurogamer points out the HUD at the top of the screen shows both the British Union Jack and the German Balkenkreuz, used from 1935 until the end of World War 2. The teaser would appear to confirm one big rumor, and the other one is all but assumed to be true at this point. Battlefield 5, already known for large-scale conflict, is expected to add in a battle royale mode to attempt to follow the massive success of Fortnite and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

It's been a couple of years since AI-controlled bots fragged each other in an epic Doom deathmatch. Now, EA's Search for Extraordinary Experiences Division, or SEED, has taught self-learning AI agents to play Battlefield 1. Each character in the basic match uses a model based on neural-network training to learn how to play the game via trial and error. The AI-controlled troops in the game learned how to play after watching human players, then parallel training against other bots. The AI soldiers even learned how to pick up ammo or health when they're running low, much like you or I do.

Finally, it seems fans of the military shooter series Call of Duty are going to get what they've been wanting for almost a decade: the past. On Friday evening, Activision announced Call of Duty: WWII as the next instalment in the multi-million selling video game franchise, taking it back to the original setting. For several years, the games have been moving forward in time, advancing beyond the near-future setting of the Modern Warfare titles into the space battles of Infinite Warfare, introducing drones, robots and, most controversially, rocket packs, along the way. But as the diminishing returns from the game's annual instalments have shown, hardcore fans have become alienated by the endless new technological additions, preferring the'boots on the ground' authenticity of the first Call of Duty titles, with their cinematic renderings of Operation Overlord, the second battle of El Alamein and the advance on Berlin. It was similar feedback, aimed at the rival shooter series Battlefield, that encouraged Electronic Arts to set the latest title during the first world war – to critical and commercial success. There is no information yet on where in the conflict Call of Duty WWII will be set and fans will undoubtedly be watching closely on 26 April when Activision promises to reveal more.
