The open beta for the DICE’s upcoming FPS, Battlefield 1 concluded recently, and based on the feedback, DICE has announced some upcoming changes to the game.
Lead World Designer, Daniel Berlin said in the official post,”When we build a new Battlefield game it’s important for us to try new things, we want to stay fresh and renew the franchise with each new installment. However, it’s equally as important that we take the feedback that you, the community, are giving us.”
One major change being made to the game would be to the Conquest Mode. In the open beta teams had to gain points by capturing and holding points, but that’s going to be different when the full game is released. Here’s what the official post says,”The next time you play the game, capturing the objectives AND getting kills will both contribute towards the final score of a Conquest match,” Berlin said. “You have spoken, we have listened!”
Talking about the Rush Mode, “We have also been monitoring and listening to your comments in regards to the Rush game mode. It’s super exciting for us to bring back Rush for Battlefield 1, and we are aiming to make it the best Rush experience to date. We are making tweaks to the game mode as we speak with your feedback as the backbone to the entire process.”
Finally, there will also be some changes to the multiplayer elements, which are mostly focused around vehicles and horses. Berlin goes on to say, “We’re also looking into balancing other elements, including the weapons and vehicles,” he said. “The Light Tank, which is a bit too effective in the open beta, will definitely receive some work, and we agree that horses can take a few too many rounds at the moment. We’ve also learned through the beta that you guys need more tools to deal with vehicles earlier, which we’ll definitely look into (including a gadget for the Support class which should help neutralize powerful vehicles).”
Battlefield 1 is set to release for the Windows PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4 on 21st October, 2016.
