Battlefield 1 it was a good bet on the part of HE SAYS, with its atypical setting and a completely renewed multiplayer and more affordable for everyone. Precisely for this reason many players have approached the series with this title, but, despite the less hardcore setting, those coming from other FPS can feel a little lost. So here it is some useful tips to have fun and get the most out of Battlefield 1's full-scale warfare.
Use the scenario as a cover
The maps of Battlefield 1, especially in the typical modes of the series, such as Race or Dominion, are very large and designed in a particular way, with the presence of many open and flat spaces. These areas are targeted by the most experienced players, and it will take very little time to recognize them, also because they will be constantly guarded by snipers ready to shoot anything that moves. Avoid these areas, and stay as close to rocks and bushes as possible to hide. Buildings can also be good hiding places, but remember that it only takes a couple of well-aimed cannon fire to make everything fall on you.
All of this will extend your life on the battlefield, and if you still have trouble surviving take your time, stay behind cover and wait for the enemy icons to appear on your screen.
Pay attention
This advice may seem obvious, but it isn't at all, especially for those coming from very fast-paced shooters. Battlefield 1 prefers one tactical view of the match, where it is important to pay attention to what surrounds us, trying to acquire as much information as possible so as to move from goal to goal in a reasoned way. In this sense, it can also be very useful to lose a few seconds during the respawn phase to observe the entire game map and understand, based on the movement of allies and enemies, the best position for re-entry.
Don't shoot everyone
Battlefield 1 relies heavily on tactics. Given the boundless maps, the large-scale battles and above all the realism in the feedback of the weapons of the Great War shooting on sight is almost never the best strategy: in the meantime, by doing so you will reveal your position to the many enemies and above all to the snipers always stationed. It is much more fruitful to wait a moment, look at where they are heading and in the meantime report them with RB / R1.
All this while always making sure that the enemy soldiers are not followed by other teammates, otherwise you may even be able to take down one and then die miserably soon after. Move often, always staying under cover, and remember that once you take down one or two enemies from your current position it is highly likely that they are looking for you and catch you from behind.
Use the Behemoth
These mammoth monsters can really change the course of a battle, each piece was designed by DICE to take down the highest number of enemies, and this is precisely why you must try to guarantee yourself a seat on board, whether it is a Zeppelin or an Armored Train. Once on board, fire on anything that moves, especially in the proximity of goals to be conquered, so as to earn points and help your team to overturn the result.
Destroy the Behemoth
Just as the Behemoth is an opportunity not to be missed for the attacking team, the same importance applies to the defending team. Don't wander around empty ignoring that huge Zeppelin above you covering the sunlight. Instead, get on a plane, position yourself on an anti-tank weapon and try to land as many bullets as possible. Don't underestimate the grenade launcher available as a secondary weapon of the Assault class: it has a very long range so even from the ground you will be able to hit the Zeppelin.
Although the damage of a single grenade is not comparable to that of a fixed location, you will certainly contribute to the destruction of the Behemoth, and with a bit of luck, you may even be able to give the final blow, earning a good amount of points.
Find the class that's right for you
Battlefield 1 proposes 4 classes, each suitable for a particular type of game, characterized by a specific type of weapon and each with its own level to be developed: Assault, Medic, Scout and Support. Try them all, see which class you feel most comfortable with and develop it to the max so you can unlock the most advanced (and most effective) weapons for your style.
