Flag E was so far off in the distance that it was very rare for people to head out in that area. But when you got to the outskirts of the map like Flags G & E, the action seemed to die out. The biggest boots on the ground fights were in the middle sections of the map. Even the air strikes seemed to be much more brutal than they were in Battlefield 4. Huge explosions, tons of craters, massive destruction going on everywhere. You actually felt like you were in the middle of a large-scale war. Playing a ton of hours on a great game is fun and all but we kind of wanted to take out a windmill with a tank or Kamikaze with an airplane. It would have been nice to have a little bit of variety. But I was a bit disappointed that we didn’t get a chance to play on Monte Grappa, the map that they had in the closed Alpha. The map available during the beta was Sinai Desert. When its fully cleaned up this will be the best looking game to come out this year. I absolutely loved this new spawn feature.

I also enjoyed how when you spawn it dives down into the battlefield. IT IS SO MUCH FUN!!! You must do this at least once when you get the game. I also cant tell you how epic it is to run your bayonet through a player. As well as being able to jump and climb over larger walls. When on the battlefield being able to sprint and shoulder charge doors open was a nice upgrade. Careful attention to detail went into this game. What really impressed me was that you could see every nook and cranny in the rocks, even the detail on the soldiers cuff-links stood out when reloading weapons. On PC even on low settings the game looked amazing. It’s a beta so I expect it to be much cleaner on release. The game looked sharp on console, but there were some parts of the game that looked fuzzy and out of touch. Battlefield has always been known for its large destruction and maps and this instalment falls right in suit. Graphically it’s almost an exact representation of what we saw E3 demo. The game looks absolutely amazing both on PC and console. I’m going to touch on my experiences with both of them. I played countless hours on both Xbox One and on PC. Does the beta give us a true representation of what we saw at the E3 reveal? Or is it just another hype train? I’m going to go over The good, the bad, and the ugly in the Battlefield 1 beta. Not just because it’s another Battlefield instalment, but it seems like for the first time in years the Battlefield Series has a chance to finally one up the Call of Duty franchise.

Battlefield 1 is one of the most anticipated titles of the year.
