Battlefield 1 Incursions Closed Alpha just started. Check your mails, if you are a lucky Battlefield fan like me, you might get one:

Starting 21st of September, 8:00 UTC

”Incursions" is a five-on-five, fast, and strategic competitive mode unlike anything else offered in the game.

Beginning with a closed alpha test in September — you can register on the Battlefield website — the small-scale Incursions mode was designed with the help of Battlefield 1 players and is meant to be an intense mode that is perfect for viewing in addition to playing. Players ”draft" their equipment and abilities at the beginning of each match, and the scoring system has been changed so every single point is important. Though it is on a small scale, there still will be some vehicles, including small anti-infantry tanks and these can change the course of a battle in an instant.

so....what exactly are incursions?

 

[McStickenstein]

When I play Battlefield I don't do it because I want a 5v5. This isn't for me but I wonder how far it will go.

 

[Croatoan]

Lol prolly BR mode

 

[buttery fistful]

Nah

 

[Atom Heart Mother]

so battlefield: counter-strike mode? lol

 

[Coolluck]

Lol prolly BR mode

What are you on about?

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

esports mode

Why do devs keep putting draft systems in games where they don't really fit

 

[WillyFive]

so....what exactly are incursions?

A branch of BF1 that is designed to be competitive and more eSports-like. It has been in development by a small separate team for a while now. All game mechanics, weapons, classes, and maps are entirely re-built.

Plays kinda like Counter Strike/Siege except with a small vehicle spawning during a match.

[rehnz]

Just got my invite. awwww snap...

 

[JigglesBunny]

Lol prolly BR mode

Lol prolly a 5 vs. 5 competitive mode based in Battlefield 1 which the OP directly states even though you clearly refused to read it

I hope they put more thought into this than their Bomb Defusal modes. They didn't even have a timer, when it launched, in BF4! The attackers could sit in spawn forever if they wanted. It was the laziest attempt at that mode that I've ever seen.
