Please add construction to BF1 to make battlefield an even better game. It would be awesome using barriers and barbwire to slow enemies down and mounted MGs to fortify objectives. ---

Most I could see them doing is having mounted machine gun placements in a support class, can’t see how taking the time to build a sand bag bunker/ or digging a fox hole would be worth it ---

Class = Fortifier Weapons = SMG/flamethrower/shovel Has a build selector gadget,that can build mg emplacement,cover,barbwire as you said,or a hole to block tanks Second gadget is some kind of wrench that “dismantles” enemy tanks,fallen planes etc to get resources for building. ---

I think a resource counter would be a fun and fair way to balance construction, forcing the player to actually do something in order to build fortifications, I also think it resources should be granted after capturing an objective ---

Sounds like a silly name for it. Just call it the Engineer. That’s what Army engineer’s are for mostly. ---

I based many of these thoughts off this YouTube video: [![Video: WHAT BATTLEFIELD 1 NEEDS TO SUCCEED?

Take by what? The Medic? There is no Engineer in BF1 that I see. There’s Assault, Medic, Support, Scout. ---

It’s been stated by plenty of people here numerous times. They brought medic back if you hadn’t noticed. Which means either assault or engi had to go. So, engi got dropped. And Assault is probably taking up that role this time around. So instead of Assault, Engineer, Support, Recon. We have Assault, Medic, Support, Scout. Recon also being changed out for scout. ---

I remember that BF Vietnam (the original , not BC2) had a foxhole-like ability for Vietcong that worked as a spawn point (I think it was not on all maps) That sounds like something akin for BF1… ---

I’d say it’s definitely the future for Battlefield, but who knows how many iterations it’ll take. The engine doesn’t allow for objects to be added into the world, and I imagine it’s a hard task to implement that functionality. I’d love to see construction though. It would be amazing to build walls, and fortify a base throughout a match. It would give me something to do as I defend it. Although, I’d hate to see resource management be a part of it - time spent building structures would be enough of a resource, imo. ---
