Recommended Posts

Following some early leaks which suggested that the new entry of the Battlefield series was going feature a World War I setting, EA and DICE have finally announced Battlefield 1, which will be released later this year on consoles and PC. The general public hasn’t seen much of the game in action, but some Battlefield 1 gameplay has been shown behind closed doors, and new details on the game have managed to surface online.

Plenty of videos detailing the behind the scenes shown Battlefield 1 gameplay have surfaced online a few hours after the game has been revealed. According to these videos, Battlefield 1 will feature a huge old Battlefield styled map, plenty of Air combat, a new melee system and more. Details on the single player campaign have also surfaced online, with a more open feel that will make it feel different from the Battlefield 3 and 4 campaign
 
Medic has syringe revives
One of the maps mentioned looks HUGE–old BF style
Gameplay trailer looked similar; reveal trailer really didn’t seem “facetious” in comparison 
Air combat: dogfights, strafing runs, bombing runs–DICE wants there to be a lot of air options; you can sit in friend’s gunner seat while they do strafing/bombing runs or dogfight
You can control battleships; can demolish shoreline (ground deformation was mentioned in another description)
Horses will be best for scouting/flanking (like bikes)
Supposed to have a new melee system
Bayonet charge ability
Can likely use sabers
Support seem like they’ll have heavy machineguns
Seems like four classes will have weapons similar to what we’d expect
SP: more “open” campaign, make it feel like a “Battlefield” campaign as opposed to BF3/4 (he said it sounded more like Bad Company’s campaign)
Trying to make use of battlegrounds a lot of people don’t know about
Progression system wasn’t confirmed; neither was weapon customization
Didn’t find out if you can pilot the zeppelin/barrage, but it’s not just a part of the skybox; planes flying around it
Seems very close to completion
Mentions again that there is some kind of dedicated driver class for vehicles, related to how you spawn into them. Still not sure
D-Day style map (obviously not D-Day)
There are double-propeller planes, much larger planes than were shown
Clip of horses riding alongside a train–can you board from your horse?
Gas mask does reduce peripheral and also really changes the soundscape, too
Big emphasis on close quarters engagements and melee
Can get entire squad into tanks–sounds like tanks may be team-oriented vehicles
Really cool maps; one had train that ran through forest

Trailer looked amazing, about the details: "Progression system wasn’t confirmed; neither was weapon customization", I am sure the game has one.. Since all Battlefield games had one. :P

 

I also heard tanks were not drivable by themself? I hope that's not true... :/

Battlefield 1 senior producer Aleksander Grøndal answered a series of questions about the World War 1 game today as part of a Twitter Q&A. Among other things, he confirmed that the shooter will have a server browser (though he didn't say if this was PC-only or offered on consoles, too) and that settings include the Italian Alps and Arabian deserts, just to name two. Scroll down to see more from today's Q&A.

 

Battlefield 1 Twitter Q&A Details:
 
Via: DualShockers
 
Vehicles are "unique," and the gameplay reflects that.
The campaign will feel "much more like Battlefield."
Multiple people can fly in the same plane.
There will be classic modes and new ones.
There will be a server browser, but not clear yet if it's on all platforms.
Naval vessels are also included, though no word yet on what they are.
Settings: Italian Alps and Arabian deserts, just to name two.
All weapon attachments will be "era authentic."
There are single- and multi-person tanks.
Battlefield 1 launches on October 21, though people with an EA/Origin Access membership or those who pick up the deluxe edition can get in on October 18. Additionally, a beta will be held sometime before launch.
