Battlefield 1, notorious for its massive maps and lengthy combat from afar, has turned itself on its head with a new “competitive” mode being added to the game. “Incursions” will give players an opportunity for fast paced combat like nothing else seen in the Battlefield franchise.
“Incursions” will begin in closed alpha and is designed to an intense game mode for players that are wanting to jump into a quick strategic game of Battlefield. The game mode won’t be taking away vital aspects that players love from Battlefield 1 such as the vehicles. The game mode includes the use of small anti-infantry tanks which are quite powerful and can change the course of the game very quickly when used effectively.
With this new game mode on its way out we will no doubt start to see some professional play of Battlefield 1 since it is in fact a 5v5 game mode. So expect perhaps an eSports scene for Battlefield 1 as DICE refine all the edges to their new game mode and move forward from their big open world war zones into tight nit 5v5 matches but still keeping that same feel players love.
“Built in collaboration with the community, the Battlefield 1 IncursionsClosed Alpha brings the authenticity of Battlefield 1 to a contained, small-scale battle. The Battlefield 1 Incursions Closed Alpha’s uniquely designed smaller matches make it more than just another mode.”
It wouldn’t be Battlefield without vehicles. Much like the Behemoths in the main Battlefield 1 experience, vehicles can turn the tide of an Incursions Closed Alpha match. But they aren’t unstoppable, and destroying an enemy vehicle can be just as decisive as deploying one.
Your choice in kit plays a critical role in the success of your squad, while every destroyed piece of environment can shift the entire momentum of battle. Only the sharpest strategic teams will rise to the top of the competition.”

Hello! My name Jak Connor I’m based in Australia and I picked up PCgaming as child when I was around ten years old. I mostly played RTS games back then, putting many hours into Age of Empires 1/2 and Age of Mythology. My love for PC gaming grew and stayed with me as I now have a passion for gaming and the amazing technology jumps developers show us all the time. I pledge that I will be bringing you fine people of DSOgaming the most unique and interesting news I can find!
frostbite’s netcode and competitive? are EA and dice out of their minds?
5v5? is this call of duty? what is happening to battlefield? where is the big battles? the standard issue rifles? oh right… their horrible scrooge mcduck pay us 2$ a day to host a server (which no one even joins because of bad ping)
damnable company, good thing they went mad on the new SW BF2, nobody, and nothing can justify pay 2 win, which will results in less purchases and/or more refunds on origin

thats whats going on
greedy publishers, wanting that EZ sponsership money from unsuspecting plebs
Esport is nothing but cancer.
I like it sometimes, I just wish it weren’t forced in to every corner of gaming. How long until we have a competitive rhythm game?
I bet there is already plenty of rhythm games which have competitive modes. For example, after really short searching I found out that Guitar Hero has a 1v1 mode.
Don’t mind him. There’s a ton of misinformed people who still use BF4’s launch as a sword against the franchises performance.
don’t mind him. there are ton of dumb people who don’t even play the game themselves or if they do they’re too dumb to realize the issues.
That’s quite a few assumptions dagoat. I bought the game and play it all the time. What I’ve seen on the subreddit is that the physics might mess up, not the netcode.
just because some greasy fatties on reddit didn’t say anything about it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, most greasy nerds on the internet think high ping is an advantage, doesn’t mean they’re right. majority are dumb teenagers.
Wow, you seem to be projecting really hard.
Usually those gifs show physics failing rather than netcode issues per say.
