'Battlefield 1,'official gameplay trailerThe flagship of the Battlefield multiplayer experience, Conquest was for the most part as much chaotic fun in the new game as it's always been. The amount of all-too-familiar snipers kills that I endured during this mode, however, was not. A wild, 64-man conflict, dogfights, tank battles, and straight-up solider-on-solider shootouts were all ways to play, giving gameplay the variety the large map demanded. I tried the tanks a few times, and while I enjoyed running over everything in my path, I felt their overpowered nature made it too easy to take an objective or kill an enemy.During Rush, the other mode available, the issue of the tanks was even more prevalent—having played both, I definitely preferred Conquest. Most of the time, I stuck to being an infantryman, and I found this to be the most rewarding way of playing the game. One moment that I found particularly gratifying while on the ground was when I randomly came across a flamethrower. Donning my old-school gas mask, I obliterated all the enemies in my vicinity, the ring of fire I surrounded myself with being one that Johnny Cash would have been proud of.
