Battlefield 1: new details on melee combat, tomorrow will be unveiled the campaign
And developers we speak today more in depth of the melee combat system, extremely important at a time when the close contact between enemy soldiers were very frequent. Read on to find out more.
Check out The Battlefield combat 1
From rudimentary truncheons to bayonet charge: in Battlefield â„¢ 1 , hand to hand combat has never been so varied. One of the most exciting times in Battlefield is when you finish the opposing player with an execution: in Battlefield 1 we tried to emphasize this element, with an emphasis on the role of melee battles in World War I.
One of the most important elements, from this point of view, is the implementation of powerful bayonet charge. This move lets you jump forward into place, having raised the bayonet high in front of you. As you approach deftly in an enemy while charging, you'll put in place a brutal execution, without leaving your opponent's ability to escape. While charging your shutter speed will be higher than normal and will suffer damage slightly reduced from the blows of the enemy guns. This is because it will be the adrenaline to guide you!
Launch the attack blind, however, is risky. Your screams will alarm enemies and have partial control of your direction. A bayonet charge failed, moreover, it leaves you unable to take during the charging period. The use of the bayonet as the primary weapon also has a negative effect on the recoil and the speed with which you can prepare to shoot after one shot. The choice of the bayonet, moreover, will result in the subsequent waiver of any other gadget that you might have. Finally, consider that the bayonet is not the only melee weapon that has been improved, in Battlefield 1 .
After the introduction of the executions with the knife, in Battlefield 3 , hand to hand combat has formed an integral part of the experience of the Battlefield. In Battlefield 1 wanted keeping their emotional charge, but becoming deeper and more varied. We also listened to comments relating to the previous titles, where every now and then the players found themselves stuck, trying to grasp the knife before a frontal assault. This issue was removed from the game. The setting of the first world war has also put at our disposal many types of melee weapons, from medieval derivation bats, pickaxes, cavalry swords and more. The choices for the arsenal are varied.
In broad terms, in Battlefield 1 there are three classes of melee weapons, each with its own pros and cons: knives, clubs and guns with blade/specials. The main difference lies in three stats: the speed of use, the damage caused by each successful hit sign and ease of execution of the executions.
During the first world war took many raids in the trenches, assaults that were supposed to be relatively quiet. Confined spaces did not leave many chances to maneuver, so often these actions were characterized by the use of various melee weapons. Some of the soldiers were armed with knives with brass knuckles, some rudimentary impact weapons obtained with anything that came near them. One of the examples that we have included in Battlefield 1 , is a heavy stick in which they have been driven spikes, to inflict the most damage possible.
A knife, for example, relatively limited damage, but is quick to use and allows you to land more blows. In addition, the area is greater than other melee weapons. This means that, when approaching from behind an enemy to destroy it in silence using a knife, you'll have a large area to pull off a brutal execution. The clubs are suitable for all occasions: deal average damage and have a speed of use media, as media is their area of elimination. Weapons with special blade/shovel, axe and Pickaxe, are those that do more harm, but they are also slower to use. Their elimination also area is smaller.
At the beginning of the game you have a simple Mace, a shovel and a knife. Progressing in the missions, however, you can use melee weapons more creative, or specialized. Some of them will even cut the barbed wooden barricades, destroying or damaging light vehicles of the enemy.
You can experience the bayonet charge and all melee weapons the game, October 21 (or 18 October, buying the Deluxe Edition Early Enlister).
We leave you now the teaser campaign, referring to tomorrow for the full trailer. Good vision!
