Welcome Fellow Couch Dwellers!



Battlefield 1 is the Fifth Battlefield. It takes place in the 1800s during the first war in Europe.

There's a lot of cool vehicles like horses and tanks

There's also cars

:siren::siren:Open beta starts August 31st:siren::siren:

:siren::siren:Release date: October 21st for normal edition, October 18th for Origin pre-orders:siren::siren:

ASSault
Equipped with either a shotgun or SMG for close quarters combat. He carries anti-vehicle weapons such as AT grenades and a portable 37mm canon. Basically he's the engineer class from BF3/4/Hardline but with more focus on blowing poo poo up.

Support
He is armed with a high-capacity light machine gun. In the alpha the LMGs all did less damage up close than the SMGs so don't worry BF1 is a totally realistic game where getting shot with a .30-06 round is less deadly than a 9mm handgun bullet. His gadgets are what they were in BF4, ammo supplies and weapons for indirect combat like mortars and mines.

Medic
Got himself a self-loading rifle that is good for medium/long ranges but far from useless up close. As the name implies he can equip bags of medical supplies to heal friendlies and a syringe full of what is probably heroin to revive them, which of course can be injected into an enemy to make them OD. If this sounds like the Assault class from previous BF games you are absolutely right (poo poo he even gets a grenade launcher), why they decided to gently caress with the names is beyond me!

Scout
His gadgets are designed to reveal enemy locations and provide intel for his allies and poo poo. His options were limited in the alpha but they'll probably be much better for the final release.

Tanker/Pilot
Is that a fifth class? The gently caress is this nonsense? When you spawn in a tank or plane you get a special class that is specially suited for that vehicle. Both of them are equipped standard with a repair hammer that they can use inside the vehicle. And if his vehicle is destroyed he can still roll on niggaz with his swaggin' carbine.

Hitler
Promised by the devs as a "prestige-like" unlockable, the Hitler class is primarily a cosmetic upgrade for any basic class (and a really good one if some of the leaked photos are any indication) but it adds a few selectable powers to your class's base loadout. Dice has promised to reveal more details on the Hitler class closer to launch.

Elite Classes
Tank Hunter, Flame Trooper and Sentry. Respectively armed with the T-Gewehr, Flammenwerfer and MG08/15 medium machine gun; weapon far too strong for a normal soldier to be allowed to spawn with. These three classes will function like more specialized battlefield pickups that you can find on the map.

In case you guys were wondering, you can keep a single tank really busy by running circles around it on a horse. From what I can tell, though, your sword can't take out a tank.

I got the demo and it's pretty fun. planes and tanks are fun. played support mostly so far and it's a good time. I'm not sure I understand the point of the horses though and they look ridiculous in motion, like they are floating above the ground

also the sound design in this one is excellent

You can chop people's loving heads off if you're on a horse even though they work strangely similar to speeder bikes

What's your loving problem, shitlord?

What the gently caress did you just loving say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US server. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the gently caress out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my loving words. You think you can get away with saying that poo poo to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of x bros across the USA and your account is being traced right now so you better prepare for the dust storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re loving dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my land ship. Not only am I extensively trained in FPS combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Bone Krew and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable rear end off the face of the map, you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re loving dead, kiddo.
