Open beta for Battlefield 1 is underway.
Open beta for Battlefield 1 is underway.
So I don't think BF1 matches SWBF well—it's way more enjoyable for me. But as a sniper player, it feels pretty unbalanced since it covers both anti-infantry and anti-tank roles. As expected, the beta has some issues, but I hope they address them, especially the spawn bug where you start without weapons or melee. And yes, conquest remains my favorite mode, which makes sense.
In the short time I played it, it doesn't seem like a battlefront experience, and I don't understand why that's being criticized. While the visuals are similar, I don't see any real drawbacks. The weapons feel more precise than in previous BF titles, the vehicle handling is solid, and the animation details are impressive. The aircraft performance was smooth with full control options. It appears the game offers a comprehensive set of features right out of the box, and the pricing feels fair considering the value over the following year. The performance on my system—2 GTX 4GB 680s—consistently reached 50 FPS at 1440p without screen tearing, especially on medium-high settings. Overall, it seems like a strong launch I'd recommend.
Well, it's tough to see, but there are other clear instances... Keep your eyes on the player when they fire with pistols—it really mirrors what you'd expect in battlefront when using single-handed blasters. I've played it a while now; the gameplay is solid, the visuals are impressive even at 1080p, and I usually see around 75-100 FPS.
