Battlefield 1[BF1] Here's all we know about BF1 so far! (self.Battlefield)
submitted 2 months ago * by MartianGeneralEnemy Boat Spotted
So in an effort to keep everyone up to date with all the information about BF1, I've created this thread listing every bit of information that I've come across. If you know anything else, please list it below in the comments! I really hope this helps everyone and becomes a one-stop for all your BF1 info!
RELEASE AND UPCOMING EVENTS
Standard Release
21st October 2016 (worldwide)
Early Enlister
18th October 2016 (worldwide)
Players will be able to get early hands-on with the game at EA play event on June 12th, held in LA and London.
Early open beta access will be granted to Battlefield Insider members.
BF1 will be digital-only on PC in North America. The retail version of the game will only include the activation code, and no disc.
GENERAL INFO
The game will be set in the real events of WW1, and not some alternate timeline.
.
Everything you see in the game will be authentic to the WW1 era, but DICE will take some liberties to make sure the gameplay is fun too.
. The game will have at least one free map post-launch. Those who pre-order will get that map 7 days early. No signs of premium YET.
.
The game will feature micro-transactions as well as paid maps and other large scale content.
CAMPAIGN
The campaign will be about the experiences of different people in different places during the great war.
.
It will incorporate lots of "only in battlefield" moments from Multiplayer, much more than the previous games, by having more vehicle gameplay as well as larger play areas.
.
The campaign will give you the freedom to choose multiple playstyles.
.
The woman you see in the trailer, chasing on a horse, is a playable character.
MULTIPLAYER
Battlefield 1 will indeed have a server browser. It's unknown whether it will be browser based or in-game.
.
The max player count will be 64 (32v32).
.
The multiplayer will have a mix of old as well as new game modes.
.
The confirmed settings for BF1's maps are the Italian and French alps, urban french cities and the Arabian desert. A jungle map was also shown in the behind the scenes gameplay footage. More maps will be announced later on.
.
The destruction has been clocked up to Bad Company levels and it's dynamic, rather than BF4's levolution. You can bring down small buildings to huge forts. Terrain deformation after constant battles has also been confirmed.
.
The game will feature at least some sort of dynamic environments. One of the key focuses for this game has been dynamic environments. Not much detail than that.
.
There is a persistent squad system where you can squad up with your mates and go from server to server without having to worry about being separated.
.
Battlepacks are going to return.
KITS/WEAPONS
BF1 will have 4 classes: Assault, Medic, Support, Scout. There are 2 vehicle classes: Tank and Pilot. Functionality is unknown but it is being said by playtesters that your kit will automatically change once you enter a vehicle, and will remain changed until you die or decide to pick a dead man's kit.
.
Assault will have SMGs(and shotguns?) along with anti-tank gadgets. Medic will have Semi-Auto Rifles as well as medbags and a syringe (WW1 equivalent of defibs). Support will have LMGs and ammo box along with the repair tool whereas the Scout will have sniper rifles.
.
There are going to be light as well as heavy machine guns. Heavy machine guns were mostly stationary in real life but the game will allow you to be mobile with them.
.
Dynamites have been confirmed. They're basically WW-1 equivalent of C4. It is unknown whether you can use them on horses or not!!
.
There won't be any sorts of night vision or thermal optics. Every attachement in the game will be authentic to the era.
.
There are going to be various melee weapons in the game, from shovels and knives to bayonets and swords. Each melee weapon will have a different playstyle. You can choose a weapon that suits your playstyle.
.
The bayonet is what we know about the most. You can attach the bayonet to your weapon and then charge forwards, stabbing anyone who gets in your way. Also, once you start charging, you have to commit to that charge, meaning you won't be able to stop until the animation runs out or perhaps you hit something(soldier or a wall).
.
Weapon Customization is more focused than previous titles. Weapons will have up to 3 presets that you can customize acc. to your liking.
.
For most weapons, you be will able to equip a bayonet, as well as tune the handling of the weapon and changing your weapon sights' magnification.
.
You will be able to pick weapon skins authentic to the WW1 era.
.
Sniper rifles have seen a huge change. To be the most effective, you will have to be at the right distance from the enemy. "You'll want to make sure you're not too close, but also not too far away."
.
Each melee weapon in the game will have different attack speeds and damage outputs.
.
Some melee weapons will also act as tools- for cutting barbed wires, destroying barricades and even damaging light vehicles.
.
The bullet velocities have been increased to make the weapons seem a little faster than you'd usually expect in this setting.
.
There are going to be different types of grenades, such as frags, incendiary, gas, etc.
VEHICLES
There are lots of vehicles in the game, ranging from horses, jeeps and bikes, to tanks, planes and Battleships.
.
The tanks will also have sub-classes such as light-medium-heavy tanks. Every tank in the game feels different. What's unknown is whether this variety in controls will carry on to every single vehicle type.
.
You can fill your whole squad in some tanks.
.
Battleships are going to be player controlled. According to an interview, the battleships won't be periodic like the AC130 in BF4 and they pack quite a lot of firepower but are also fairly easy to counter.
.
There are going to be other naval vessels you can choose from. The types are still unknown.
.
BF1 will have dynamic vehicle damage system, at least for planes, where if you shoot down certain parts of the plane, it directly affects the controls of the vehicle.
.
Scout planes will be crucial at spotting targets for the bomber planes. Scout planes will also be the primary dogfighting planes.
DLC
These are the DLCs that you will be getting with the deluxe edition. (NOTE- Hellfighter pack will be available for standard pre-orders too).
.
Red Baron Pack
Vehicle Package: Red Baron's Triplane
Sidearm: Red Baron’s P08
Emblem: Red Baron’s Flyer Pin
Lawrence Of Arabia Pack
Horse: Lawrence of Arabia’s Black Stallion (new visual appearance for the horse)
Weapon: Lawrence of Arabia’s SMLE
Sidearm: Lawrence of Arabia’s Jambiya
Emblem: Lawrence of Arabia’s Emblem
Hellfighter Pack
Hellfighter Trench Shotgun
Hellfighter M1911
Hellfighter Bolo Knife
Hellfighter Emblem.
New visual appearance on the largest vehicles in the game
Frontline Camouflage Train
Night Raid Airship
Dazzle Camouflage Dreadnought
MEDIA
Official Battlefield 1 Reveal Trailer
The music used in BF1 reveal trailer.
Official Battlefield 1 Concept Art and Screenshots
MISCELLANEOUS
The headshots in this game feel very satisfying and they do have that "ping" sound effect from BC2. According to someone I don't quite remember, sniper headshot blows up your face, thereby making it impossible to revive.
. BF1 will be analog in nature, meaning there won't be any lock-on weaponry. You're going to have to aim and shoot in this game and this applies to everything.
.
.
.
.
So this is all I know(I think!). If I remember anything else, I will make sure to edit this post! /u/PTFOholland requesting sticky for this thread in place of the other one!

One thing tho according to the leaks is that there will be dynamic weather (fog,rain,snow,etc) like even tho if you play the same map 4 times in a row it will have different weather.

I'm pretty sure the same guy has said that there will be pickups similar to Battlefront so hopefully sometimes he is wrong

Can they not be floating orbs, could they not tie something into the game with them, like you find a storage locker, or something that you take the kit out, if its an orb you teleport to I will cry.

[–]Shark3900 12 points 2 months ago
Since your comments recent, it seems a lot of people lately have been saying that the flamethrower is a battlepickup (They had them in BF4, off the top of my head the USAS slightly north of the B flag on parcel storm and the sniper on the roof of Hainan Resort).
Hopefully if that's how the Flamethrower works then that will be how the knight-guy will work, which at least in my opinion is a ton better than the stupid floating discs.
permalinkembedparent
[–]Toshiro46 8 points 2 months ago
And DICE LA even went to the extreme of placing the Battle Pick Ups only in areas that made sense - i.e. the M60 ULTRA was only on the downed heli, and you found the Accipiter in the testing room for it.

Nothing wrong with pickups, if they aren't floating discs or something as stupid. Instead a container/realistic looking woodbox of gear, that you open. Tied in reality, not a floating stupid icon.

On the contrary, I'd love battledrops because of the WW1 setting. Picking up a flamethrower feels more balanced than having 32 guys with flamethrowers.

I first got into first person shooters my freshmen year of college when Call of Duty:Modern Warfare was released. I can't count how many classes I skipped playing that game. Then, Call of Duty: World at War came out. I was hooked. The amount of hours of sleep I lost.. Oofta. I continued to buy Call of Duty games, never really ever trying another first person shooter.. Fast forward to the previous couple years, I haven't bought a new COD game for the past 3 releases. I am so sick of this futuristic, hop around, flying, outer space BS. It was to the point where once they stopped making new games for Xbox 360, I was going to hang up my controller for good. Now that Battlefield 1 is coming out, I will be purchasing an Xbox 1 and this game. If the game itself is as half as good as the trailer appears, I'll be happy. I've never played a battlefield game before. The amount of players allowed in each match, the vehicles, and the classes intrigue me. Also, some of the most fun I've always had when I would play COD is when you'd have an actual team "working together" using their mics. It seems like team work is an essential part of this game. I can't wait for October!

[–]SwanBridge 3 points 1 month ago
If you can try pick up Battlefield 3 or 4. Hell even Battlefield 1943 for the last generation as an arcade game was awesome. I went from COD to Battlefield, and there is a lot to learn. It is punishing, but once you learn how things work and get it right you'll never go back. Although I suspect Battlefield 1 will have very different game play, it won't hurt to familiarise yourself with some aspects of battlefield before it comes out.

One thing that still amazes me in BF4 is when you are close to a few trees and a jet pass by close to you, and the just shakes in that direction, it is amazing. I feel like neebs in the battlefield friends episode about the close quarters dlc in bf3.

[–]royhenderson771 3 points 2 months ago
That would be amazing. Dynamic weather would make the map feel like a new experience and depending on how far they're willing to take this part of the game, we may have to formulate different strategies thanks to weather. I am so in favor of this.

This needs an expansion. A close range shotgun to the face should have the same if not WORSE effect than a sniper headshot. It should be implemented. Shotguns are NASTY weapons at close range. The mechanic should work like that or at the very least send a body flying from the sheer force of the shot.

Oooh terrain deformation. I hope the map starts normal looking but by the end of the game it turns into a complete mess like you usually imagine a ww1 battlefield to look like, along with dynamic weather to turn it all into a slouchy muddy mess. Also if I can't make a proper trench, I sure hope we can improvise and make our own explosive made foxholes to dig into.

BC2 destruction was MEANINGFUL. BF3 toned it down too much and levolution, IMO, was not successful in implementation (aka, it failed to impress). Bringing back destruction that is useful and forces both teams to rethink strategies is how battlefield should be played. I cant wait!

Terrain deformation was in Bad Company 2 and worked fine. I think (if I recall correctly, it was a long time ago) the issue with the Battlefield 3 Alpha/Beta was a glitch where the developers turned off terrain deformation, but the game still registered the deformation in the code but not visually. This lead to craters existing in the ground but the players could not see them.

You should divide your posts into sections so its more organized and people can easily find info on the parts they want. Something like:
Edition and Release Info
Standard

Early Enlister
Releases October 18
Singleplayer
Story and offline stuff here
Multiplayer
Game modes, maps, and other multiplayer related stuff.

How the game works mechanically such as analog combat style and dynamic destruction.
This is just my suggestion. Your thread is very helpful for people who don't want to go through dozens of threads and links.

The one thing I really want to see from this game is the player count increasing to 128 players. Battlefield is known for it's large scale battles and I think it would get a lot more intense and varied with an increased player size. Even if they couldn't increase it on console hardware, they could still increase it on PC, just like the PC version of Battlefield 3.
permalinkembed
[–]MartianGeneralEnemy Boat Spotted 17 points 2 months ago
64players is the max amount, it's already been confirmed. Also, I don't think we're still at a point where 128p is possible from a network standpoint.
Ever since BF2, I've always found the perfect player count to be 48 players. 64p feels a tad too chaotic and incoherent whereas 48p, you get the togetherness and the gameplay is quite slow, which I really like.
permalinkembedparent
[–]Sierra419 10 points 2 months ago
IIRC, there was an interview with a lead at DICE for BF3 or BF4 and they asked him when they were going to have the ability to increase the player sizes on a server to 128 or 256 like MAG. His response was something on the lines of: we have the ability right now to have as many or as few players as we want on a map at any given time, but we've found that 64 (32v32) is the magic number for balance and gameplay without overwhelming an individual player or making the maps feel too crowded or barren.

[–]Riotstarted 19 points 2 months ago
There is few stuff that makes me worry.
First - is the smg's. Lots of auto-weapons would lower chances of melee combat to zero, so showels and swords will be used only from behind, like in the rest bf games, because if you approach from the rear you will be shot in the face.
Second - more destruction. I hope they will also work on the remains after destruction, so tanks will no be able to create a flat field instead of a small town to easily take out any infantry approaching them, like they can in bf4. Houses should leave ruins behind (currently only 3-floor house leaves it) instead of collapsing to nothing.
Maps... most maps in bf4 are mid or close ranged, where points are very close to each other, and more important - in most maps there is only few ways to reach points behind the front line, map design usually forces two teams into fighting. I very much dislike that and usually play on maps like Dragon Valley or Altain Range, where points are far away from each other, and also having complicated building (or other cover) systems on it, allowing me to go behind the frontlines, capture points that nobody deffends, and then set up traps for incoming deffenders. Sadly, i was limited even in traps - i could use anti-tank mines, yes, but the only anti-infantry mine i got - is SINGLE claymore. Concidering how easy it is to spot and remove it, it was useless. So i hope that in this game will be a lot more big maps with lots of passages to allow guerilla warfare, as well as a any choice of traps you can place. It is so boring to play a game if all gameplay comes down to just shooting people...
And, of course, the performance. I doubt that i will ever be able to launch this game, but if for some miraculous reason minimal system requirements will be same as in b4 - i would be very happy about it.
Also, there is one more thing - game price. I wonder, maybe EA will finaly add regional prices to the origin, like Valve did in Steam? Because most of the people i know (inluding me) just can't offer to buy the game at full price in post-soviet countries, because it worth all money that i earn in month! I can't spent so much on the video game - i need to buy food for me and my pets, pay the rent, pay for the intertet... If i will give all month income for the game - i will have nothing to live for, same as many people from my country. That is why there is a regional prices in Steam, where game that worth 60$ in usa are worth 30$ here, but can be launched only on post-soviet countries territory. I hope that EA will finaly realize that most people here just can't pay so much for the games.

Details on the weapons shown in the trailer, a list I took it from my other post here.
Lewis gun, mounted in the backseat of an airplane in the trailer and also carried by foot.
Winchester M97 pump action shotgun.
MG08/15 modifed for airborne use. Also the guy in armor is carrying one.
Mauser 1918 Tankgeweher or T-Gewehr for short, is a bolt-action rifle that could go through fucking tanks. I imagine that if you managed to make a headshot with this it would send your helmet to another city.
M1911 as seen in many other games.
Most probably a Lee-Enfield Mark III rifle, as shown worn by Italian infantry in the trailer.
A Gewehr 98 rifle fitted with a scope.
The Mauser C96 that we saw the most-presumably Harlem Hellfighter wearing in the game's poster, alongside a...
Bergmann MP18 sub-machinegun, yes, that's correct, we have SMG's in BF1.

anyone else worried that bolt action rifles wont be all that prevalent in multiplayer? from the classes it seems like most people will be running shotguns, semi auto rifles, and SMG's, LMG's, HMG's. And if someone is using a bolt action it probably has a scope on it. kind of disappointing that it doesn't seem there is going to be much iron sight bolt action rifle combat.

Classes you say, using SMG's but they aren't the most popular weapon choice of WW1. You can't imagine a WW1 without the presence of bolt ction rifles, and if they give players a choice many will (unrealistically) choose SMG's.
But I'm sure that they've already came up with a plan against this.

"The headshots in this game feel very satisfying and they do have that "ping" sound effect from BC2. According to someone I don't quite remember, sniper headshot blows up your face, thereby making it impossible to revive."
I'm going to have to ask for a citation on that one. Where did you hear that?

This is the video where the ping is mentioned.

BF2 Special Ops was able to introduce the grapnel hook which had physics applied to the rope. Granted it was sorta wonky looking...
But I reaaaaaaaally hope they use something like that for the TNT. It really bothered me how in 1942 you'd just throw it and it acted like C4 even though we all know you need a wire connected to a detonator for it to work.
I'm stoked for BF1 but I honestly do not want to see C4-style TNT in this game.
permalinkembed
[–]royhenderson771 5 points 2 months ago
I really want 2 things. Rush Mode being relevant and extremely fun again (like BC2) and being able to destroy mcoms with TNT (BC2, they could be destroyed with tanks, c4, grenade launchers). I like this gameplay style because it forces players to think about the way they defend. Now you're not just standing in a spot waiting for the enemy to arm. Now you have to worry about the mcom being destroyed from a distance.
This allowed the defense to RUSH the offense numerous times in order to prevent the mcom from getting destroyed. It created various FUN gameplay styles and really dynamic as the offense had to defend and the defend had to attack.
AMAZING! And I can only hope this comes back.
permalinkembedparent
[–]Darthmullet=rTr= righttorebel.net 3 points 2 months ago
TNT was so temperamental, I wouldn't be surprised if it would detonate on impact. Not 100% reliable though, of course. The idea of throwing it around not expecting it to go off is absurd. It will hopefully need to be planted.
permalinkembedparent
[–]CndConnection 5 points 2 months ago
Wait I'm p sure TNT is very stable and safe. You might be thinking of Nitroglycerin which is an ingredient of dynamite.
TIL: In the search for more info about this to reply back to you I discovered that TNT is not Dynamite and they are separate. As far as I know (so if anyone wants to chime in feel free) TNT is used in explosives for like grenades/bombs/etc but the sticks they used to build the mines in WW1 must have been dynamite sticks.
permalinkembedparent
[–]Darthmullet=rTr= righttorebel.net 5 points 2 months ago
Well, I'm no expert. I just know that dynamite is unstable. I guess TNT is separate - that's what I get for getting my info from AC/DC !
permalinkembedparent
[–]CndConnection 2 points 2 months ago*
But that's the thing....dynamite IS stable.
You can throw a stick of dynamite and hit a wall and nothing will happen. However, dynamite is susceptible to heat and if you leave it in the sun it will sweat out the nitro....then it becomes unstable and can explode.
EDIT Actually while I am right about the sweating of nitro it seems that enough impact or weight can detonate dynamite. Here's what wiki says : "Dynamite is moderately sensitive to shock. Shock resistance tests are usually carried out with a drop-hammer: about 100 mg of explosive is placed on an anvil, upon which a weight of between 0.5 and 10 kg is dropped from different heights until detonation is achieved.[6] With a hammer of 2 kg, mercury fulminate detonates with a drop distance of 1 to 2 cm, nitroglycerin with 4 to 5 cm, dynamite with 15 to 30 cm, and ammoniacal explosives with 40 to 50 cm."
IDK if throwing it at a wall is similar to dropping 2kilos on it though.
Another thing is military dynamite has no nitro and is more stable and safer so you might be able to throw that one : ""Military dynamite" is a dynamite substitute, formulated without nitroglycerin. It contains 75% RDX, 15% TNT, 5% SAE 10 motor oil, and 5% cornstarch, but much safer to store and handle for long periods than Nobel's dynamite.[9] Military dynamite achieves greater stability by avoiding the use of nitroglycerin and uses much more stable chemicals.[10]"
I am not sure whether or not WW1 dynamite is military grade or not though.

Full auto may not be the best choice for a player. Remember DoD (Day of Defeat)? It's been a while but I think the bolt actions in it were superior to the semi autos in some cases, and superior to the full autos in most cases.
permalinkembedparent
[–]MeanMrMustardMan 3 points 2 months ago
If they make bolt actions 2 hit chest kills outside 30-50m, which they probably will, the only way I can see full autos being worse is if they take 7+ hits from that range which is ludicrous. Bunch of fucking curtis jacksons running around with 9 bullet holes and no limp.
Not going to be a problem for hardcore mode, so maybe I should just not care.

[–]Shepherd336 4 points 2 months ago
It could be salvageable by realistic recoil. The trailer footage with the Lewis in the forest hints at a long time-to-kill, I'd guess due to low accuracy. Pistol caliber carbines in real life still have a fair bit of kick to them and I don't think you would really be able to burst with WW1 ergonomics.
permalinkembedparent
[–]S3blapin 1 point 2 months ago
Automatic weapon would have a lot of spread making them extremely inaccurate at mid long range. this combine to lower damage, and it would make them quite awfull to use at anything but trench warfare/CQC.
And IMO they will make the BA rifle 1HK at quite long range if you aim for the head. something like that:
0-50m: 60%
50-100: 60-40%
100+ : 40%
(that's just an assumption)
And then they could differentiate rifle by the damage drop off. Rifle with short barrel or carbine (like the Lee-Enfield) would be better at close range but the damage would drop faster. Example:
0-60m: 60%
60-70: 60-40%
70+ : 40%
Which would make them better at closer range but less at longer range...

I believe the Mauser anti-tank rifle was shown in the desert scene being carried by the solider next to the tank. This wasn't designed to blow tanks up so I suspect there could be a damage model similar to Red Orchestra where you can snipe crew members and target vision blocks, etc.

I don't think there will be actual tank sub-classes, but what the developer meant to say tanks have a lot of variety among themselves, something which hasn't been done in BF.

You might also want to add some kind of french or belgian country map.

This is just speculation but playable factions possibly:

I hope the revive physics becomes a little more like reality, for example, if you die by getting shot in the arms, legs, butt you can only be revived. Not only that you die by getting shot in the head like in BF4 but also in the heart, throat, etc.
permalinkembed
[–]CyberDemonVZ 4 points 1 month ago
There could be problems with this idea.
If they go in this "reality" direction, game could become more hardcore, and EA does'not want to loose a lot of casual players.
More demanding hit calculations. Probably game would become more CPU hungry, and hit detection could become worse.
A LOT of players got used to revive mecanic from BF3 and 4. So WW1 is enough shock for now, no need to change everything else

[–]BrownstinkerBolt-Action-Jackson 2 points 1 month ago
There's no point in arguing it dude. Lets just disagree.
It was a team play thing before revive came into play. Medics needed to stay on the ball with actively bandaging, not dropping a passive medical kit. It was true team play, you moved with your medic and you moved from cover to cover. If you didn't you got the 15 second respawn. Don't give me the "CoD exists for those that don't want good teamplay" bullshit; BF2+ is a simplified game compared to BF1942. Hell, anti-tank soldiers in BF1942 only had a pistol and a rocket launcher, without team work you were screwed. BF2+ rewards shit gameplay, you fuck up, you get revived and you keep pushing. In BF1942, if you fucked up and didn't work as a team, you had a 15 second respawn and a 5 minute run back to the action.
