Reply To: Battlefield 1 Closed Alpha review

That a pretty good review man. You got me really hyped right now. I have a ton of questions but ill just ask the most important ones i can think of right now. Chris/Vanessa just answer the ones you want to answer, you dont have to answer them all.

Graphics:

You say the game is very beautiful and that it runs well on a GTX 960. I would like to know a few things about that.

1. What graphics settings are you running and what fps are you getting?
2. If you set the same settings in BF4, what is your FPS?
3. If you set the same settings in BF4, which game is more beautiful?
4. Tell me more about dem graphics!

Rag doll effects:

Rag doll effects are super important. They add so much joy to a kill and keeps you immersed if they look realistic.

1. Are the rag doll effects physics based or animations? Or both?
2. If they are physics based, are soldiers clothes static or do they move like objects on the soldier?

Combat and weapons:

Some games are just better at giving you that powerful feel when you shoot a bullet. CSGO does a great job with the Deagle and AWP but not so much with the Colt compared to BF4 with similar weapons.

1. Would you say this is done better in BF1 than in BF4?
2. Do you have a favorite weapon?
3. What is the range of the weapons? Is it like BF4? How far can a sniper rifle shoot for example?
4. I think not even a percent of my kills in BF4 are melee kills. Some maps give you the opportunity more often than others but even on those maps (like Lockers for example) are melee kills rare. Why is melee more common in BF1? Is it because of the way the maps are designed or is it because of the way the weapons work?
5. Are any of the maps you’ve played so far famous historical battle sites?
6. How big are the maps?
7. Are there any big houses or something? What i want to know is if you’re always outdoors fighting. Is there any maps like lockers or metro where you are inside?
8. Does the respawn system work like in BF4?
9. Most important question!! How is the teamplay? Do you have squads? If yes, how does it work?
10. Didn’t really understand it when we talked about it on TS but, are there going to be medics in BF1?

Vehicles:

I love the vehicles in BF4, basically all of them. Having helicopters, fighter jets, tanks, jeeps and boats all in one map adds a lot of ways one can play the game. It creates this feeling of large scale battle that i love about BF4.

1. What types of vehicles are in the game? Is there boats and jeeps?
2. Horseback riding? Do you think it will be in the game?
3. How fragile are the planes?
4. How hard is it to aim from the back of a plane?
5. How much can the ground be destroyed? When you shoot with the tank for example. What happens if you shoot at the same place twice?
6. Are there objects that can not be destroyed?
7. Do you think Dice has done a better job at having vehicles encourage team play compared to BF4?
8. Are the planes of BF1 effective against ground vehicles and infantry?

User Interface and stuff:

1. How does the chat function work? I hate it in Battlefront, just hoping they won’t do it that way.
2. Deployment timer? How long do you have to wait before you can respawn?
3. Are there addons to weapons?
4. Can you change the appearance of your character?
5. XP and leveling? Did you get to see any of that?
6. Did you launch the game from a server browser?
7. How many players maximum in one game?
8. I’ve heard there are weather effects, do you think these are customizable for server hosts or just random? Also, are they any good?
9. What game modes are there?

Gamescore:

Give 1-10 points on each one.

1. Graphics
2. Optimization
3. Gameplay
4. Teamplay (yes its a part of gameplay but i want it emphisised)
5. Weapons
6. Vehicles
7. Classes
8. User Interface
9. Server manageability
10. Overall score

As i said, you dont have to answer it all if you dont want to. I’m just so f ing siked about this game!
