These are apparently all showing up in "the coming weeks".

HARDCORE SERVERS ARE COMING SOON

We know that elite Battlefield 1 players have been eagerly awaiting fighting on Hardcore Servers, and we’re just as excited as you are. They’re coming soon, so keep an eye out for more news in the near future.

WE’RE TWEAKING THE SUEZ MAP

Based on your input, we are changing the layout of the Suez map in Conquest to make the matches more balanced and the map size more fitting. We have expanded the layout to feature five instead of three flags. We’re also reducing the capture area size of the two control points located within the map’s villages (currently flag A and C) to create more dynamic matches. Furthermore, we’re adding one armored vehicle to each team’s base to give dominated teams a better chance to quickly get across the map and capture a control point behind enemy lines.

BATTLEFEST STARTS NOVEMBER 16

Bring out your calendars and mark November 16 with a big “PTFO” – a new Battlefest is en route. This week-long celebration of the Battlefield franchise will be packed with new activities, including log-in rewards, a livestream, a unique Battlepack revision, community missions, and much more – stay tuned for more information!

FOG OF WAR: INTRODUCING CUSTOM GAMES [Nirolak's Note: I think this is basically Brawl mode?]

As the first Official Custom Game, Fog of War will premiere at Battlefest. In this unique Team Deathmatch experience, you will be challenged by limited sight as you’re fighting in fog with the mini-map and soldier name tags turned off. You’ll find Official Custom Games in the Battlefield 1 Multiplayer menu.

NEW BATTLEFIELD 1 UPDATES COMING THIS MONTH

During the month of November, we will release a major update for Battlefield 1, filled with various tweaks and improvements. Among other things, we will be adding the Rent-a-Server Program, a new Custom Game and tweaks to matchmaking and server balancing.

GET READY FOR GIANT’S SHADOW

Giant’s Shadow is an upcoming new map for Battlefield 1 and will be arriving in December as a free update. Apart from the info already available on the Maps page, we will be sharing more about this epic addition soon.

There’s plenty more in the works for Battlefield 1, and we can’t wait to experience these new features and updates with you in the coming weeks. See you on the battlefield!

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

I haven't stopped playing since it dropped. Hyped for this

Incredible game

What map is gonna be the standard 24/7 map? Ballroom blitz?

 

[harz-marz]

Announce the Pro Patch please! Amazing game

 

[Str1ke4]

Wow, this is the first time DICE have changed a map after launch.

 

[Ferrio]

I'm unfamiliar with modern day BFs, what's a hardcore server? Realistic damage?

 

[N° 2048]

Addicted to this.
Having trouble finishing games because I only play this.

 

[Pankratous]

I'm unfamiliar with modern day BFs, what's a hardcore server? Realistic damage?

No HUD and very little health.

 

[BigTnaples]

Awesome. Can't wait.




Want some details on the Pro patch. It's the one I'm looking forward to the most on launch day.

 

[ThisOne]

Wow, this is the first time DICE have changed a map after launch.

Thank god. Suez is garbage. Hope they tweak Fao Fortress too.

 

[Nirolak]

Wow, this is the first time DICE have changed a map after launch.

They couldn't do anything besides changing boundaries last generation because it broke the memory limits and patching structure of last-gen consoles.

No more last gen consoles, so no more problem.

This was also what was preventing them from doing things like fixing floating gun attachments last generation.

 

[Skab]

Thank god. Suez is garbage. Hope they tweak Fao Fortress too.

Fao's fine though

 

[Jb]

Did they say anything about letting you customize your loadouts in the home menu?

 

[Latvian Hitman]

I'm unfamiliar with modern day BFs, what's a hardcore server? Realistic damage?

Less starting health, no/limited HUD and friendly fire is turned on.

 

[forms]

I am enjoying this game immensely. My previous bf high points were BF42, BF2, Bad Company....and to be honest Codename Eagle.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Thank God they're fixing Suez. That map is terrible in Conquest.

 

[ThisOne]

Fao's fine though

Weird graphical issues on ps4.

 

[BigBeauford]

Which is the map that has a bunker under the control points where their entire team can gather at a choke point and throw grenades up or down the stairs?

 

[Nirolak]

If it exists, it's presumably part of "During the month of November, we will release a major update for Battlefield 1, filled with various tweaks and improvements."

 

[The Beard]

Probably Suez for that GRIND!!!

 

[Aztechnology]

Suez Map fix is so needed. I have quit every time Suez has come up on rotation, boycotting that shit until fixed.

 

[Jake2by4]

Which is the map that has a bunker under the control points where their entire team can gather at a choke point and throw grenades up or down the stairs?

Monte grappa I think.

 

[Haines]

I'll bite if the pro patch is great.

Looks like some decent post launch support.

 

[BigBeauford]

Monte grappa I think.

Thanks. Had a lot of non fun on operations trying to take those bunkers while the entire enemy team camped out underneath and bottlenecks those stairs.

 

[deoee]

I hope they will tell us a date quickly :3

 

[T.O.P]

I haven't stopped playing since it dropped. Hyped for this

Yup!

Can't wait to see the new map and try Hardcore

 

[GustyGardens]

Thank the heavens for hardcore mode. Hopefully it comes sooner than later.

I'll bite if the pro patch is great.

Looks like some decent post launch support.

The mainline Battlefield games have been pretty good with post-launch support. I'm not just talking about the Premium stuff, either.

 

[CHC]

Sounds like good stuff. I actually enjoy Suez but it's 10x better on Operations, when it is expanded to feature the desert on either side of the city. It should just always be like that.

Curious about Giant's Shadow. Does anyone have any idea of what it is / where it is set?

 

[Jb]

If it exists, it's presumably part of "During the month of November, we will release a major update for Battlefield 1, filled with various tweaks and improvements."

That would make sense. Not worth making a bullet point for it.

Thank God they're fixing Suez. That map is terrible in Conquest.

It's so fucked and ends so often with one trampling the other. On the other hand there are a few very good sniping positions that make it really easy to get any scout medal you want.

 

[Jake2by4]

Thanks. Had a lot of non fun on operations trying to take those bunkers while the entire enemy team camped out underneath and bottlenecks those stairs.

If I remember the map correctly b and d flag on conquest are under bunkers.

 

[The Dude]

Great game, pumped. Haven't put it down since release

 

[Horseticuffs]

I haven't loved a BF since 42. Now, I only tried 2142 and 4, but they were too fast paced.

This game really gives me a 42 vibe. I really enjoy it and am glad to have great post-release support.

I'm not much of a DLC guy but my brother and I have already gifted Premium to each other for Xmas.

 

[fabricated backlash]

They're fixing Suez before Mt. Grappa in Operations? Talk about priorities. One is shitty, the other is literally completely broken.

 

[Lulu23]

Thanks. Had a lot of non fun on operations trying to take those bunkers while the entire enemy team camped out underneath and bottlenecks those stairs.

Please stop with this already, you can cap it from above the bunker.

 

[jediyoshi]

Which is the map that has a bunker under the control points where their entire team can gather at a choke point and throw grenades up or down the stairs?

Monte Grappa. They may as well lose the windows next to the doors.

 

[Schlorgan]

Love this game but I'm pretty hooked into Titanfall 2 right now. Good to know there will be a lot to look forward to when I come back to it.

 

[The Beard]

Hopefully they integrate the new map into the vanilla rotation.

I hate how DLC maps have their own servers, especially if it's a standalone like this one. Then you have to keep playing that same map over and over or switch servers again.

 

[Woo-Fu]

I'm unfamiliar with modern day BFs, what's a hardcore server? Realistic damage?

Playground for bushwookies, mostly.

 

[BigBeauford]

Please stop with this already, you can cap it from above the bunker.

I am aware of thIs. Getting the other 19 or 31 people to understand this is another story. Also, standing up to will get your team blown to hell by the airplanes, or sniped.

 

[Jake2by4]

I just blow the doors to conquest maps that have 2 entrance. Like fao fortress in the castle or e and f.

 

[pitchfork]

Oh man, the carnage of friendly fire!

Looking forward to this

 

[Exteromate]

Can't wait to see the new map! Game is addicting already 67 hours in.

 

[T.O.P]

Oh man, the carnage of friendly fire!

I run Assault with shotgun

I'm ready to get screamed at and insulted like there's no tomorrow, i'll shoot at everything that moves anyway

 

[OdysseusVA]

Can they push an update that will fix terrible teammates?

 

[zma1013]

I'm unfamiliar with modern day BFs, what's a hardcore server? Realistic damage?

A very unbalanced version of the game where spraying bullets and camping is far more prevalent and effective because you die in one shot to your little toe and you can't see your HUD so your soldier guy has no idea how many bullets he has, cuz it's realstick or something i dunno. Also it splits the playerbase.

The only good feature of HC mode in BF3 and 4 was removal of 3D spotting. Besides that it blew.

Yeah, pretty much. Medic rifles, Sniper rifles, and gas grenades are going to be a nightmare in HC.

I played a little bit of HC in BF3 & 4. The OHK snipers, and the 2 hit DMRs are enough to make you rage your pants off.

 

[Night.Ninja]

I hope they don't put dynamic weather behind a pay wall

 

[DaciaJC]

Bah, Hardcore, pfft. Where's Classic mode?

 

[BigTnaples]

I hope they don't put dynamic weather behind a pay wall

Huh?

 

[orthodoxy1095]

This sounds like some dope stuff. I'm down.

 

[old manatee]

Hopefully there will be an option to let me change my loadouts from the menu, instead of trying to bully me into installing the dumb companion app so that EA can harvest data from my phone.
