Battlefield 1 is the fifteenth main game in the Battlefield shooter franchise and as a main entry the follow-up to the 2013 Battlefield 4 . This time it is set during World War I and it is inspired by historic events. Like most of the main games in the series it combines a single-player campaign with an extensive amount of multiplayer modes. The campaign consists of six large missions, dubbed War Stories, each with a different protagonist, a different setting and distinct gameplay elements. The story follows several characters as they go through different experiences during World War I. Each story has a different approach and offers specific vehicles, weapons or play styles. From controlling a tank in France to flying as a fighter pilot over England, the missions are designed to immerse players in the history of the war. Multiplayer usually supports 24, 32 or 64 players on a single map depending on the game mode and most of these are based on the settings of the single-player War Stories. The game was launched with nine multiplayer maps: Amiens, Argonne Forest, Ballroom Blitz, Empire's Edge, Fao Fortress, Monte Grappa, Sinai Desert, St. Quentin Scar, and Suez. There are seven game modes: Air Superiority, Conquest, Domination, Operations, Rush, Team Deathmatch, and War Pigeons. Rush, Conquest, Team Deathmatch, and Domination all return from Battlefield 4 . Air Superiority was introduced in Battlefield 3: End Game .
War Pigeons is a team based mode where up to 24 players need to work together to locate pigeons. Once captured, a pigeon needs to be held and defended by the team, while the other team attempts to kill that player.
The Operations game mode builds on the concept of Rush with offence and defense. The map is split up into sectors which the offensive side needs to secure. When both control points of a sector are captured, they own the sector.
Multiplayer has eight distinct classes: Assault, Cavalry, Elite, Medic, Pilot, Scout, Support, and Tanker. A new element is the introduction of a persistent squad where a team of up to five players can remain together as a single unit, even when moving between different servers. The game features a large array of authentic weapons, including artillery, flamethrowers, hand guns and small arms, machine guns, many types of rifles, shotguns and mustard gas. There are also many melee weapons and armed vehicles, such as aircraft, battleships, tanks, trucks, and zeppelin.
