Random people (again -.-*) got invited to the Battlefield 1 Alpha today.

And so as expected leaks are popping up.

Here is the newest one. Not my screenshot, found on reddit.

 

[stan423321]

Heh, I already forgot BF1 is the NEXT one. Oh well.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Nice watermark of their name, lol

Are they presumably going to take the "give codes to streamers for months" route?

 

[DeathSparks]

Neat

 

[jediyoshi]

Dude really couldn't take a second in paint to black out them incriminating themself

 

[Granadier]

Warbonds? Wonder what those will be.

 

[RoboPlato]

Glad they're going the purchase weapons you want to unlock route as opposed to having to grind out individual weapon classes.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Map?

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Sad I didn't get in o well

 

[OfTheOverflow]

Warbonds? Ruh roh...

Also yeah, didn't make much of an effort to hide his name.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Disappointing that it seems like they're not even attempting to make the UI/presentation match the era of the game. That UI looks right out of BF4/Battlefront.

Hopefully this is what they are for.

They said they wanted to unite the UIs for their Battlefield/front games. I personally love that, it's nice to have a consistent UI and it helps if it's a very clean and minimalist one.

I'm torn on it. I always appreciate UIs that look well ingrained in the game world but I'm also a fan of how clean and easy to read this is. In order for a more WWI appropriate UI it would probably need a complete redesign, not just slapping a typewriter font or something on it, and the layout seems to have a fair amount of thought put into it.

I agree, but its a double edge sword.

 

[thejpfin]

Sigh, I didn't get in :/
Reddit is saying that alpha is also available for Ps4, cool.

Oh neat

Expected the closed alpha to be PC only, maybe Xbox One. Hope we get some PS4 media.

 

[wbEMX]

Seeing a server browser in the actual game after six years without having one in a Battlefield game is like a gift from god.

 

[Hellwarden]

Man, what type of helmet is that?

Looks straight out of science fiction.

Ehh, it's not a huge issue, but it does bother me. It's bland. In its sleekness and unification under the DICE Menu™, there's no character, or dedication to the period. It extends to the in-game UI and game announcer as well.

 

[TheRed]

Man I wish I could play some of that.

 

[Foxxsoxx]

That Battlefront UI though...

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

Wonder how the controller support is for the PC version. Hopefully you can plug and play with a pad unlike the last games. Very cool that we can see the tickrate in the server browser now as well.

 

[TimeEffect]

War bond. Typical currency system. Too bad they probably will charge for maps on top of this

I wish they made a model where old maps were free after a second dlc pack releases

UI clashes with the Era. But whatever.

And where's rush!

The announcer does need some more pizzazz. Different accents for each faction and making it sound more like a radio communication would go a long way.

Link please because I am apart of the BF1 reddit and have not seen reports of any console players getting in.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

I just dont get why they are still doing this random Alpha invites and then expect nothing will leak.

This part really has to change. Let people sign up for it etc.

Link please because I am apart of the BF1 reddit and have not seen reports of any console players getting in.

Ive seen two already.

Someone claims that he got a Xbone key.

Need his gamertag to check if true.

 

[Falchion]

The orange to grey background kind of reminds me of MW2's menus.

 

[xDUMPWEEDx]

I really can't wait to play BF1. This is the most I've anticipated a game in years. Definitely going Support class main and rocking these:

That's one guy showing image proof. Also DannyonPC in that subreddit hinted possible Ps4 alpha.

It'd be nice if they had some magnetism for aiming with controllers this time around, though I completely understand why that would be left out (Even if Pc players will still do better, I can do quite well in games like CoD on PC with a controller)

 

[UnforgivenTwin]

I really want to see some PS4 footage. Hopefully it looks pretty good.

I want to see Console footage in general


Annoying that you have to rely on Leaks again...

 

[SirPinkyNose]

The server browser makes me hard.
No more battlelog is always a good thing.

 

[Hidden One]

Man I never get in these things.

 

[Kibbles]

Was there a sign up I missed? These screens are lame btw where is the game

 

[UnforgivenTwin]

It's random. You weren't special enough to be chosen. I'm sorry

 

[Zyae]

So you buy guns with currency

 

[OdysseusVA]

That Battlefront UI though...

Its utter trash

 

[Mahonay]

There's another thread devoted to footage from the PC alpha http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1239366

The point of these screens is to share what the menu UI looks like and how weapon unlocks might work.

ah nice thanks I thought the sub I was in with JackFrags was the official BF1 sub. Awesome news never the less. Here is the sub I am in. I see its for Battlefield as a series and not just BF1 https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/

 

[DTKT]

Warbonds? wut

 

[josecitoxnyo]

I'm playing it, it runs like a dream. Getting avg 75fps with my i7 3770k @4.5ghz, 16gb ram and a single GTX 970.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

Warbonds? wut

Probably something similar to what Hardline did where you can buy whatever weapons you want instead of grinding them one by one.

But I'm sure it will lead to shortcut microtransactions.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Seems like it's a BFH/SWBF-type system.

Which is FAR better than unlocking in a predetermined order. You don't have to waste time and energy on weapons you won't use that often.

 

[tr1p1ex]

Disappointing that it seems like they're not even attempting to make the UI/presentation match the era of the game. That UI looks right out of BF4/Battlefront.

Maybe a hint this isn't a next-gen BF game. Just a mod of bf4.

 

[Heroman]

Maybe a hint this isn't a next-gen BF game. Just a mod of bf4.

But It is really noting like bf4.

Sadly Battlefront isnt like that anymore. You now have to do contracts to unlock Weapons/Gadgets...

I hope they dont add such thing to BF1.

 

[Insane Metal]

XB1 only?

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

XB1 only?

No, this are PC Screenshots.

So far only PC Alpha is really confirmed. Some reported they got a mail for PS4 but it seems like it was just a mistake and the code was for PC too
