Horses, too
A whole mess of people played theBattlefield 1beta.13.2 million, to be more precise.
While many of us just used the limited experience to find out ifBattlefield‘s move to WWI was indeed a good one (and to have fun with horse-related hijinks), others took the beta as a chance to voice their opinion about how the game is shaping up. In general, DICE has been receptive to that feedback.
Writing in a blog post, lead world designer Daniel Berlin specifically noted that the studio is tweaking Rush and Conquest mode, with the latter getting a revised ticket system whereby “capturing the objectives AND getting kills will both contribute towards the final score of a Conquest match.”
“We’re also looking into balancing other elements, including the weapons and vehicles,” he wrote. “The Light Tank, which is abittoo effective in the Open Beta, will definitely receive some work, and we agree thatHorses can take a few too many roundsat the moment. We’ve also learned through the Beta that you guys need more tools to deal with vehicles earlier, which we’ll definitely look into (including a Gadget for the Support class which should help neutralize powerful vehicles).”
Was your time with the beta fruitful? I only got a few matches in, but they left enough of an impression to confirm that I can still get down withBattlefield. Loved that sword-slinging, steed-riding action.
