Battlefield 1 Fall Update brings huge fixes and highly requested features

DICE have really hit the money with their FPS Battlefield 1. It topped sales charts for the first two weeks after its release, and sees thousands of players online every day across all the major platforms. Today marks the start of what the developers have named "The Road Ahead" and sees the servers for the game switched off for a short time while the Fall Update patch is implemented.The first of the Road Ahead additions will be a large number of gameplay tweaks, and changes surrounding Operations and the Suez Conquest map. In the case of Operations, "Going forward we are addressing the balance issues with the Operations game mode. It’s clear that attackers need a boost. To increase the effectiveness of the attacking team, we are increasing the overall tickets for both Operations & Grand Operations. In addition, we are also making it somewhat easier to capture sectors as an attacker by reducing the amount of time it takes to capture a flags," the DICE explains. Meanwhile, as seen in the picture below, Suez will now feature five flags instead of only three.

The developers have clearly been listening to Battlefield 1 fans as new additions, like a quit button between rounds and squad leader demotions for not issuing orders, were much requested from the community. DICE has just released the full patch notes of what is in store for the game this time around. Though the complete list of changes is exhaustive, some of the highlights include:

Additionally, the Road Ahead page confirms that Battlefest will begin on November 16th. This will see Battlefield 1 players take part in a week long celebration that will include log-in rewards, a battlepack revision and community events among other things.

Further updates are expected in the near future, including a free new map dubbed “Giant’s Shadow” due for release in December.
