Battlefield 1

Gameplay

Multiplayer modes

• Conquest: One of the standard game modes in the Battlefield series. Teams capture objectives across the map, earning points based on the number of objectives they hold and eliminations they get. If a team is suffering from a major point deficit, a Behemoth-class vehicle becomes available for their use.
• Conquest Assault: Same as conquest but is differences one team will start as 300 hundred points, but the second team will got all conquest sector at game start. Available only in Heligoland Bight, River Somme, and Caporetto.
• Domination: a version of Conquest with a smaller map, no vehicles and only 3 control points.
• Rush: another standard game mode in the series, played between a defending and attacking team. An attacking team with a limited number of respawns must attempt to plant bombs in two telegraph stations located within a sector of the map, while the defending team must protect the stations and defuse planted bombs before they explode. If the attackers are successful, their respawns are replenished and the defending team falls back to the next sector. The game ends if the defending team exhausts the attackers' respawn tickets, or the attacking team captures the final telegraph stations. Unlike Rush modes in previous Battlefield games, the telegraph stations can also be used to call for artillery fire against the attackers.
• Operations: A new mode which takes place across multiple maps to simulate a campaign from the war. An attacking team controls a battalion with limited respawn tickets; similarly to Rush, they must progress across sectors of a map by capturing their control points. If the attacking team exhausts their tickets, they lose one of their three battalions, and must try again. If the attackers are successful, the teams move onto a different map. The attacking team wins if they successfully clear all maps without running out of battalions, while the defenders win if they eliminate all three of their opponents' battalions. The attacking team can be granted a Behemoth vehicle if they lose a battalion. Conversely, if the defending team lost all sectors in a map without costing the attacking team one battalion, they will be granted a behemoth to even the odds on the start of the next map in the operation campaign.
• Team Deathmatch: a standard game in which teams compete to reach a target number of kills, or the highest number of kills before time expires.
• War Pigeons: a new, capture the flag-like mode in which two teams must attempt to capture a messenger pigeon used to signal artillery fire. After the pigeon is captured, the player must be defended while they prepare the message to be sent, and the pigeon must be released outside. However, the opposing team can still shoot down the pigeon. The first team to successfully release 3 pigeons wins the game.
• Frontlines: A new mode added in the They Shall Not Pass DLC, described as a "tug of war" combining aspects of Operations and Rush. A map contains five control points along a linear path connecting the bases of the two teams. Beginning at the centre of the map, a team must progress towards their opponents' base by capturing each successive control point. If the point is captured by the opposing team instead, they are pushed back towards their own territory. If a team reaches their opponent's base, they must then destroy the two telegraph stations within to win the game. As in Rush, the defending team can use the telegraph stations to call for artillery fire. If the attacking team does not destroy both stations before they run out of tickets, they are pushed out and must capture the final objective again before they can make another attempt.
• Supply Drop: A new mode was added in the "In the Name of the Tsar" DLC, inspired by the vast areas of the Eastern Front in World War 1. In this game mode, teams fight over supply drops that provide various resources, including ammo, health, vehicles, and pickups for Elite classes. The team that captures more points wins. While ammo and health are more commonly found in the supply drops, vehicles and Elite class pickups are designed to give the attacking team an advantage, potentially turning the tide of battle.
• Air Assault: The newest multiplayer game mode, added as part of the Apocalypse DLC. This game mode, only available on two maps, features "frantic dogfights" and centers on aerial combat. Each opposing vehicle destroyed gains your team points. On the map "Razor's Edge,", only single-seat planes are available, while in "London Calling", a wide variety of planes - and a zeppelin - are at each team's disposal.
• Shock Operations: A new mode added in the 2018 June Patch. Shock Operations are like Operations but instead these are shorter, faster with 40 players per server unlike normal 64 players per server and only play on one map. There are only five available maps in this game mode. These maps are called Giant's Shadow, Prise de Tahure, Lupkow Pass, Zeebrugge and River Somme.
• Back to Basic: A game mode in which you can only use standard-issue rifles as main weapon, all other weapon classes are banned. The vehicles and elite kits are also unavailable.

  Classes

• Assault: The primary CQB/anti-vehicle class. Assault players have submachine guns, machine pistols, and shotguns at their disposal. They contribute using explosives such as dynamite or anti-tank grenades to destroy vehicles such as tanks and armored vehicles. Their AA Rocket guns deal considerable damage to aircraft.
• Medic: The Medic class is primarily focused on reviving teammates and healing them. The primary weapons in this class area are semi-automatic rifles, and some fully automatic rifles. One semi-automatic rifle can also be used in bolt-action mode.
• Support: Support troops have access to light-machine guns and semi-automatic carbines. In addition they have access to smaller explosive devices, such as mortars, limpet charges and crossbows which launch grenades. They also contribute to the team by replenishing their teammates' ammo and repairing stationary weapons and vehicles.
• Scout: Scouts use a variety of bolt-action and lever-action service rifles. The unique contribution to the team of the scout class is spotting enemies either by firing a flare gun, which spots nearby enemies in the vicinity of the flare on all teammates' mini-map, or by using a periscope, which makes spotted enemies' whole silhouette visible even through walls.
