Battlefield 1 may eventually play like an entirely different game

4.3
Battlefield 1 developer DICE is planning some major changes for the very core of the newest Battlefield experience through a broad and courageous initiative.

DICE recently made an official post to one of the game’s subreddits, in which user DRUNKKZ3 (aka Florian Le Bihan) gave a preliminary overview of DICE’s upcoming Battlefield 1 “Roots Initiative.” The initiative will focus on improvements to the game’s “core gameplay” and “game mechanics”, with the post listing which general sectors of the game will be targeted going forward:

Soldier movements
Vehicle movements
Suppression
Weapon mechanics (including grenades)
Gadgets mechanics
Melee mechanics
Destruction
Interaction mechanics
Game mode mechanics (win conditions, catch-up, flow, rulesets, scoring)
Communication (spotting, chat, commo rose, orders, VOIP)
Scoring feedback
HUD real estate (timings, placement, 1p HUD as well as killscreen and deploy “the main loop”)
…More areas based on your feedback!


The developer is aware that these are broad topics in terms of the game’s scope. With the help of feedback from the community, DICE would like to start the initiative by focusing on soldier and vehicle movement, specifically addressing ADAD spamming. Some of these changes to the core gameplay are already underway, like the adjustments found in the shooter’s recent Spring Update that mitigate grenade spamming.

As long as it doesn't ruin the game entirely. Because it's a great game.

Saiko So why cannot they implement this as a different game mode?


Why would they revamp all that just for a game mode, that's illogical this is definitely needed as some times it can be sluggish... as for the rest they wouldn't change all that if it was not that of a big deal...

However to make this kind of a change it suggests that their was a lot of people that wanted these changes but I don't think they they knew it would be a whole game revamp... I wonder the file size of this.

Well it never really felt like Battlefield without destruction (I'm aware tanks can destroy certain walls/buildings and such but in previous games you could collapse any and every building with grenades lol)

I'm guessing all these will be improvements for a more realistic war experience. I wouldn't bash it until you try it.
