Battlefield 1’s World War I setting is awesome: It’s just the kind of change-up we need when we’re down with the Sci-fi shooter blues. But considering that the game’s set one hundred years ago, you might be wondering just how well the multiplayer weapon loadouts will work out. Well, fear no more:
Interesting history tidbit: The German MP-18 was the first-ever submachine gun and entered service with the German army just months before the war ended. Schimek also added that a number of melee weapons will feature–this is in line with earlier information that melee combat will play a more prominent role in the game–the brutal trench club has seen an awful lot of press lately. Schimek stated that the weapons in Battlefield 1 are more specialized, so there may be more to it here than spray and pray.
