The Battlefield 1 multiplayer beta is finally out and it’s awesome. If the true game is anything like this demo, then it may be a masterpiece.

     The game developer Dice goes back to basics with this showcase and expands on the first-person shooter, or FPS, multiplayer genre.

     The multiplayer beta showcases four distinct classes, each having their own abilities and weapons. The beta shows off the upgrade system which allows gamers to purchase weapons specific to each class using war bonds. Each class is significant in their own way, and team diversity is the key to win matches.

     The beta showcases the map “The Sinai Desert” which is amazing and enormous field. It is so huge that it features different areas which have their own individual battles.

     The southern portion of the map is one big desert, which is basically a sniping fest. The desert is a very flat area and anyone can be seen from far away and easily picked off.

     To the west is a small cliff with tons of anti-air and anti-tank weaponry which is key area in order to fight off enemy planes and fighters.

     To the east is a huge mountainous canyon. The canyon is a spawn point for the British so large convoys of troops walk through. Trekking through this area you can look up and there are always tons of Ottoman snipers trying to fight off the fleet of British troops. This creates epic moments that are amazing. While playing, half of the British forces spawn at one time and push through the canyons. It was a large company of ground troops, two tanks and an eye in the sky dropping bombs on the enemy.

     As Samus pushed through, the battle becomes something from a movie. Ducking behind cover, Samus could look around could look around at the rain of gunfire being brought down on to the company. Tank fire slowly blowing away the canyons, dust from the explosion blurring gamers view of the battle. It’s impossible not to get immersed into the battle.

     The northern portion of the map contains a huge town. Each building in the town is fully open and allows players to snipe from the rooftop or shoot through windows. Gamers will notice that fighting changes in the town area because everything gets so close. Close combat is key. Gamers can turn down an alleyway and come face to face with the end of a shotgun barrel or peek from a window and get shot by a rooftop sniper. It gets extremely chaotic. While all of this is going on, the town is slowly crumbling due to the bomber planes and tank fire. By the end of the game, the town is just one massacred battle field.

     “Battlefield 1” features a wide set of authentic replica vehicles. There are many different light tanks and land ships to spawn in and wreak havoc with.

     Gamers can also spawn in awesome bi-planes and fighter planes to have dog fights in the sky. It’s awesome to be playing on the ground and look up to see two planes going at it in an all-out sky war.

     If the full game is anything like the beta, then gamers are in store for one of the greatest games of 2016. “Battlefield 1” is set to be released on  Oct. 21.

     If you’re into the FPS genre, then you should check it out.
