The developers of Battlefield 1 are responding to player feedback.
On the official Battlefield 1 website, Daniel Berlin, the Lead World Designer of Battlefield 1, extends a big thank you to the beta players. Due to the high participation, the Battlefield test phase was the strongest beta of an EA title. He emphasizes how important player feedback is for the developers. Every report of a bug or other problems helps the development team to improve the game.
Changes to Conquest and Rush
In the open beta of Battlefield 1, players had the choice between the two mentioned game modes. Daniel Berlin emphasizes that it is important for developers to try new things in games. This is necessary to keep a new title fresh and innovative. However, player feedback is also important. Until the release of Battlefield 1, changes will be made to the ticket system of the Conquest mode. The total points will then count not only the capture of objectives but, at the request of many players, also the kills.
For the Rush mode, Daniel Berlin did not provide more specific details. He states that the developers have closely monitored player comments. It is exciting for the development team to make the Rush game mode available in Battlefield 1 as well. This mode is currently being “enthusiastically tweaked” to make it the best Rush experience ever. Player feedback serves as the basis for future changes.
Balancing of Weapons and Vehicles in Battlefield 1
Besides the planned changes to the game modes, the developers are also addressing feedback they received about the weapons and vehicles in the game. Regarding the light tank, both developers and players agree: Too strong! This vehicle will be revised by the team.
The horses had too many hit points during the beta and could therefore take too much damage. Changes will also be made before the release of the full version. Furthermore, more tools are planned to help deal with vehicles earlier. An accessory for supply soldiers that supports the neutralization of heavy vehicles is planned.
Battlefield 1 is set to be released on October 21 for PC, PlayStation 4 (with PS4 Pro), and Xbox One.
