Thing u will going to miss in BF1

Battlefield 1 Console
1

So BF1 is coming up… The whole BF-comunity has been playing modern BFBC2, BF3 & BF4 (… and Hardline to some extend) for the past 6 years in modern settings…

So now we are going back in history and have the chance to experience the “great war”…

Therefore I will expecting there will be missing things like:

  • red dot sights
  • odd gadgets like MAV
  • Electronic upgrades for tanks like Active Protection

Do u think the playerbase is ready for a bigger skill-gap and less electronical assistance from gadgets/veheicles, etc. or do you think there will be even more hackusations when you have skilled players go on high killstreaks because they know their way around the battlefield…

I don’t think I will miss anything. I’am ready to embrace the change.

If you do a little historical digging you will find that there were red dots around. Surely they were lightly not as modern as they are today. But i doubt they would be missing in BF1.

There may not be MAV’s and other modern gadgets, but there may well have been gadgets that were modern/prototypes during the war ? I don’t know which ones, but i am guessing there will be some.

Considering WW1 was the beginning of tanks i would be very surprised if AP or similar upgrades would be present. However it doesn’t mean there won’t be upgrades to tanks.

Personally - and i can only speak for myself of course - i am curious to see what they may bring. I won’t be missing lock-on weapons, but i would not expect to find such weapons in that time period either. Why would you expect modern weaponry in a game that themes an old time period ? I don’t think that would make sense.

Engineer class and rocket launchers

im sure stingers will somehow find their way into the game. The BF3 USAS Frag rounds prepatch shotgun will be added as an easter egg

Given BF1’s time era, I won’t miss anything at all.
Aircraft will fly lower to the ground and be susceptible to infantry weapons, so there’s no need for lock-on RPGs and air mines.
Tanks will be slower so they will be easier to avoid.

Claymores…

Stat padding badmins that ban you if you stinger their heli, Kappa.

Claymores are life

10

Choppers. I was never much of a pilot, but I love seeing a good crew wreck the opposing team.

11

I think they have confirmed explosive traps… right!?

12

Trip mines, I believe.

13

Can confirm

14

One concern I have is trip mines aren’t OHK, at least in the pre-alpha. I watched Levelcap’s impression video and he said they do 99 damage.

I don’t think I’ll miss anything at all. Everything that needs to be in BF1 should be in there (I think).
I also don’t think the skill gap is going to be as large as you and some others might think (or want).
Take lockons, for instance. Casual gamers won’t need them to engage enemy aircraft in BF1 because the WW1 biplanes and triplanes are much slower and will have to fly lower to engage ground targets than their BF4 counterparts.
Also, BF1 airplanes will most likely be susceptible to ground based infantry weapons fire (much like in BFHL and SWBF).

16

Battlelog…will miss battlelog the most. SWBF had nothing and this looks a lot like it so far.

Can I get a hooah?

Will miss my kobra sight
