In Battlefield 1, we look at the destruction of objects, buildings, and the environment.
What would a shooter be nowadays if it didn’t bang properly? EA probably thinks the same, which is why the upcoming FPS Battlefield 1 does not skimp on brutal firepower and destructible elements meant to convey action on the battlefield.
The YouTuber jackfrags took a closer look at the destruction in the Closed Alpha and created his own video about it. Here you can see it:
The Destruction in the Closed Alpha of Battlefield 1
Initially, the user drives tanks across the battlefield. He notices: The little things that are “randomly” lying on his path can be easily run over. Almost every wall can be completely destroyed.
Moreover, the tanks are capable of blowing bunkers and huts to their foundations. Other, sturdier buildings can only be demolished: The walls can be ruined at will, but some buildings cannot be completely destroyed.
Then there are certain walls of already destroyed houses that cannot be destroyed at all. They stand firm:
By the way, windmills behave like larger buildings. They can be heavily damaged, but not completely leveled. Many trees can be uprooted with the necessary explosive power, while large trees defy all danger.
But not only with tanks and vehicles can you let loose at will: On foot, you can for example “redesign” wooden fences, windows, chairs, or tables. You can also shoot holes in doors. However, not in walls.
For terrain transformation: Granades leave craters that vary in depth depending on the ground. You can even blow yourself a protective crater where you can barricade yourself.
The summary from the YouTuber: There is plenty of destruction in Battlefield 1. While not everything can be destroyed and blown up, much can. Sometimes it can be a bit confusing, as one cannot be sure whether the upcoming wall can be driven through or not. It may become more transparent by the launch.
Note: Battlefield 1 is still in Closed Alpha. How the destruction will look in the final game is still unknown.
