A new "Battlefield 1" video presented a part of the Storm of Steel mission. The clip lasted 12 minutes, featuring many intense moments and close-quarter combat. Overall, fans acquired new details about the upcoming "Battlefield 1."
GameSpot reported that Storm of Steel is among the featured "Battlefield 1" missions in the EA/Origin Access Play First Trial. As previously announced by EA, the "Battlefield 1" campaign will consist of several playable characters, divided over five different war stories. Having more than one protagonist would allow players to immerse and experience the setting more. The "Battlefield 1" single-player campaign will also introduce real-life historical figures like Lawrence of Arabia. Players can expect to play a character who is very close to the icon and learn more about the tale.
The "Battlefield 1" gameplay video started with a statement that over 60 million soldiers fought in "The War to End All Wars." The war ended nothing, but changed the world forever. Before the gameplay officially started, more statements explained that the next scene is a frontline combat and players are not expected to survive.
Throughout the video, "Battlefield 1" players was shown in the middle of a warzone, fighting off enemy soldiers and tanks, dodging bullets and bombs and trying to look for cover. The character moved through the desolated battlefield, moving through barricades, foxholes and trenches with the objective of overcoming the opposing forces. Whenever the "Battlefield 1" player dies, a line would appear, indicating the name and years lived of the fallen. The clip seemed to hint at how the game mission intends to showcase the grand battle in the eyes of the various soldiers who fought in it.
Destructoid stated that "Battlefield 1" boasts of excellent graphics. The gameplay also featured the minimalist HUD, which some players may take some time to adjust to. "Battlefield 1" appears to be a very promising installment that will bring back fans of the series. The classic setting, engaging and rich war stories and multiple protagonists are other features that add to its uniqueness. "Battlefield" is set to launch on Oct. 21, 2016.
