The game looks good and looks to be a traditional BF game. I am wondering if there will be some trench emphasis somewhere in the game though. This is WWI after all. People didn't run around all crazy in the open in different directions (unless they charged from a trench only to get mowed down). I do like the bayonet charge how the guy yells. Pretty cool. I can imagine melee only servers with teams charging each other in a semi organized fashion.
I think this title is probably going to be nvidia sponsored, unlike the past few that were with AMD. If you read that twitter thread it sounds like they are going full on with DX12, as well as explicit DX12 multi gpu support. This may wind up being how we see BF1 play out on PC.
I'd bet there will be a trench only map
I just wish there was more emphasis on bolt action rifles with iron sights. So far all I've seen is scoped bolt actions or full auto weapons.

Of course there will be some like the original Battlefield had or Day of Defeat but having everything bolt action would definitely not make for a fun game.I just wish there was more emphasis on bolt action rifles with iron sights. So far all I've seen is scoped bolt actions or full auto weapons.

It would make for an extremely competitive and fun game if you ask me. As long as I have the option I will be going bolt action iron sights.Of course there will be some like the original Battlefield had or Day of Defeat but having everything bolt action would definitely not make for a fun game.

Depends if all bolt action & iron sights means two guys bunny hoping and running around in a circle while they reload. I'd pass if it's stay with your squad to increase fire power I'm in!
Battlefield 1 Big Changes - Multiplayer Gameplay
Battlefield 1 Multiplayer Gameplay - Top Differences in Battlefield 1
Some of the changes sound really great to promote a bit less of spam fest run and gun gameplay. The changes to flag cap speed in conquest sound awesome.
Typically, a round in a Battlefield game is completely contained to that one match. You play, you win or lose, and then you move on to the next round. That all changes in Operations, a new game mode coming to Battlefield 1. In it, the outcome of the current round carries over to the next map, giving you the opportunity to fight a sequence of inter-connected battles.
Operations offer epic journeys across several maps based upon real battles of World War I. We wanted to offer a large and epic experience with a focus on teamplay and frontline combat. Adding this meta-layer to the game mode, and stretching it across multiple interesting locations that both look and play very differently, adds a whole new layer of scale and variety to the battles in Battlefield 1. Your team can win on one map, proceed to the next map, and actually see the map you previously fought over on the horizon.
As an attacker youll hear the commanding officers whistle as the order to charge the enemy trench is given. Youll run side-by-side with your teammates as you storm towards the enemy defensive positions on foot, in tanks, airplanes, boats, and on horseback. As a defender, youll dig down as you hear the alarm go off signaling an incoming attack. Youll man the stationary machine-guns and cannons to aid you as you rain hell on the advancing enemy attackers.
The attackers must capture and hold all defensive positions in order to capture the sector that is being fought over. Once this is done, the defenders will fall back to the next sector and regroup. The pacing and variety between the different sectors vary widely, since each sector offers a different amount of objectives to capture and defend as well as varied layouts and choke points.
The attackers must take territory and push the frontline forward, while the defenders are trying to hold the line. Should the defenders fail to hold their ground on a map, the Operation doesnt stop here: they will fall back and regroup on a different map, while the attackers will continue to push. Sectors may fall, but players reinforced by gigantic Behemoths can still turn the tide.
We wanted to create a Battlefield experience that was not just bite-sized, but actually spanned beyond an hour of playtime. Something epic and compelling for players who wanted a chance to immerse themselves in this first global war, and capture the stories of how different battles were deeply connected to one another. This kind of frontline combat really captures the essence of WWI clashes, intimate and deeply rooted in breaking through or holding ground.
Not interested anymore, been playing BF series since BF1942 demo, it's been taken in the wrong direction.
But hopefully it turns out well for those who will play it, let's hope it won't be another BF Hardline (or even SW Battlefront) where it dies out in a month.
felt more like call of duty twitchfest with explosions going around everywhere..
Desert Combat was great.I don't like this direction either. The focus has shifted too much to twitch-style fps and away from vehicle-based combat on large maps imo. I was hoping a WW1 setting would slow down the gameplay compared to BF3/BF4 but from the videos out now it looks just as frantic and twitchy.
For me Desert Combat mod for BF1942 is still king
It would make for an extremely competitive and fun game if you ask me. As long as I have the option I will be going bolt action iron sights.
My son got a closed alpha key.......
Ive been playing on his account while he is away.
Why have a NDA with all the videos by Jack Frags and such already out there? They covered it pretty nicely.
Ill just say Im still on the fence about pre-ordering, slightly slower pace than the last couple of BF's.
My main concern is what this guy starts talking about at the 2:28 minute mark in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IekdXi6LjF8
But we all know they will buff/nerf and keep changing everything in each patch for at least year.
