Hey guys Ebontis here. Playing the Battlefield 1 Open right now, and everyone can. Just search Battlefield 1 and you should be able to find it, its available for everyone on PS4, Xbox and PC i think.
So far the game plays a lot like Battlefield has previously. The Snipers have travel time and bullet arc at long range. Feels good to connect when you do though.
The Horse is actually a lot of fun and more useful than I would have guessed. You can either fire a gun but do it on the run, good luck with that as it seems rough, but to cover ground and then be able to swing the sword at melee range is a lot of fun to basically be cavalry.
The machine guns feels as you would guess WW1 guns do, inaccurate and somewhat unreliable. You can connect better with the semi auto guns at a bit more range but you need to be pretty close to mow someone down with a machine gun of any kind.
There is no radar so if you don't hear it or see it, there is no way to know where someone is until you spot them or they spot you, and hopefully its you first. Its cool though, we don't have space radar or anything like destiny so its pretty realistic.
The weather on the desert map is pretty awesome when it comes in, the Sandstorm will change the battle and then using a horse to run around can really be effective.
Overall if you like Battlefield, it looks great, graphics are good and the gameplay has that same feel. If you are coming from something like Destiny, Conquest is going to be overwhelming with the scale and size and number of objectives.
