What We Learned From The Battlefield 1 Open Beta
We’re making changes to Battlefield 1 based on your feedback.

Hello everyone! My name is Daniel Berlin, and I’m the Lead World Designer on Battlefield 1. I would like to give you all a big THANK YOU from everyone here at DICE Stockholm for helping make the Battlefield 1 Open Beta the biggest Beta in EA's history. It’s a real treat to see the game being played by our fans and newcomers alike! Every single issue you encounter, every bug reported, and all the feedback given is invaluable to us here within the development team. Trust me when I say that we listen closely to all of your comments.


But what does this mean? Well, first off I’d like to talk to you about the Conquest game mode. When we build a new Battlefield game it’s important for us to try new things, we want to stay fresh and renew the franchise with each new installment. However, it’s equally as important that we take the feedback that you, the community, are giving us. That is why we're going to be making changes to the Conquest game mode ticket system for launch. The next time you play the game, capturing the objectives AND getting kills will both contribute towards the final score of a Conquest match. You have spoken, we have listened!

We have also been monitoring and listening to your comments in regards to the Rush game mode. It’s super exciting for us to bring back Rush for Battlefield 1, and we are aiming to make it the best Rush experience to date. We are making tweaks to the game mode as we speak with your feedback as the backbone to the entire process.


We're also looking into balancing other elements, including the weapons and vehicles. The Light Tank, which is a bit too effective in the Open Beta, will definitely receive some work, and we agree that Horses can take a few too many rounds at 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).

I hope you all had a great time playing the Battlefield 1 Open Beta, and I can’t wait for October 21st to come around so you'll be able to see everything else the game has to offer. Who knows, maybe you’ll find yourself on my Squad in Battlefield 1.

I know man,game in beta is hugely fixated on vehicle warfare in order to be dominant.
I wasn't complaining though,I'd quite happily mop up with a light tank lol

I just hated when the other team has 3 tanks and our team had none. Drove me crazy. Or better yet, when we do get a tank and the blue berry let it die almost instantly

sent using my Note 7

That's what I don't get about the tanks.. The map itself is favorable to vehicles and sniping, so of course they will seem overpowered. Though, I thought they were quite well balanced. A plane could take out any take in two or three strafes with the right loadout. A squad could take out a tank almost immediately with grenades and rocket guns. Plus other vehicles could snipe you from afar. I think the fact that the map favored tanks and that it was an open beta (so many, many blueberries) made the tanks seem more powerful. In a more tight map with real battlefielders most people won't be able to go on such an insane spree.

...Noted whatever they do to the tanks I will certainly still be going on those sprees. I never even used the light tank, all about that heavy.
