I have now played the Battlefield 1 beta for a few days.
Lets just say it's a silly game.
1. Automatic weapons for all!
2. No country spesific weapons.
3. Tanks are just M1 Abrahams with diffrent models.
The Assault class starts with an MP18
The Medic class starts with some sort of Semi auto thing.
Support class start with Lewisgun(with is just an M60 with a diffrent look)
Snipers are the only one that actualy have bolt action rifles(you know the most common infantry weapon of the war)
The game is fun, but not WW1, mabye som alternat histry thing.
Personaly I found the sniper class can have a Mauser with out a scope. So while most other people cheat I do it propper. I also got 5 magic bullets that I can shoot at armored cars and tanks, A few well placed shots can blow them up(I have personaly gone Mano a mano against an armord car, I fired a shot and damgaed it. It saw me and started fireing of a Maxim, Not giving a I reloaded my magic bullet, fired and blew it up)
You can ride horses, that increases your HP by 3 or something. So killing someone on a horse takes many shoots.
Gas grenades have a radius of about 5 meters, no problem standing just outside it's range with no mask.
One of the best guns in the game is the 1911(that everybody has) While the MP18 or Lewisgun takes some 5-10 shots to kill, usualy the .45 takes them down in 2-3 shots.
