Game Mode Concept "Beneath"

Battlefield 1 General Discussion
1

John Norton-Griffiths “Hellfire Jack” Engineer with a revolutionary plan to take his workforce to war. But “Beneath” the enemy.

So what is “Beneath”
I have had a passion for World War 1 since a young age, Trenches to me was gritty, dirty, a true dark warfare. Always wanted to learn the history from back in 1914-1918. But one ghost squad always stuck in mind…179th Tunnelling Company.The tunnelling units were occupied in offensive and defensive mining involving the placing and maintaining of mines under enemy lines.

This is what “Beneath” is based on. Tunnelling through to the enemy side to destroy their position. I’ll go in depth a bit more. So bare with me.

-64 Player
-32 players each side.
-5-10 players from each team goes “Beneath” (or this could be AI) to dig to the enemy side
-1 tunnel entrance per side
-An over the top trench charge into no mans land, where 2 obejectives are to be captured by either side.
-Which ever side have these objectives held gain an advantage to the tunnellers. (A boost of some sort)
-the players or AI “beneath” will dig thier way to the enemies position. Place a charge to destory the enemies position.
-Matches last 45 minutes to an hour. Or could be no time limit until the objective is complete.

Here is an illustration of the concept.

I can easily imagine a future map with many underground tunnels, but I doubt we will ever see shovels digging through dirt.

An hour of being underground digging does not sound like the most fun in a game.

Giving the support class the ability to use the shovel to dig a small fox hole and set up an MG nest on the other hand sounds like a great idea

4

Entertained the idea until this.

5

Could be fun but who would want to dig instead of fight

6

the 10 million minecraft age kids that also happen to fall in the same casual bracket this game was aimed towards.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh bazinggggg 10/10 liked commented subscribed donated on patreon

You don’t have anything productive to do in your life right? The last part doesn’t even make sense, BF1 and minecraft are aimed to different demograhics if you haven’t notice

8

Doesn’t sound like fun. You probably won’t have enough room to teabag in the tunnel. If you can’t get your mouth ‘beneath’ my balls it’s not gonna work for me

9

Yeh bit long cut it down.

10

what would you suggest? Could be AI under ground or they even used to fight under the ground.

11

That is 2 completely different ideas lol

Love the idea, however actually going underground digging I think would strain the game, maybe AI digging(locked mine door until complete) that then once they reach the site opens up the mine shafts to then place the charges. Similar to how carrier assualt opens the ship after so much damage is done. The flags/zones up top in the trench warfare zone speed up the teams diggers.

However underground tunnel warfare would be a super grenade spam clusterf*$%. Which is only issue I could see happening in theory. Unless it has a random spawn in tunnel system once they opened that limit the players in the tunnels, and maybe holding flags up top power the lighting systems in the tunnels or something? Just my random input! Great Idea!!
