You get a little message holder for a carrier pigeon (i blanked on what it was called earlier lmao) with a code for some ~exclusive~ dlc that they haven't announced what it is yet.

Not gonna lie, was thinking that that dlc would include a [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cher_Ami#World_War_1_service"]'Cher Ami' scenario.[/URL]

Where are my horses DICE?
So that's hard confirmation of the artillery truck and motorcycle, as well as the camel and caproni for anyone still worried about that.

You can see a horse spawn menu at the part immediately before it shows the vehicle spawn menus (when it's still on the assault class menu).
I just received an email asking me to select a platform for the battlefield one beta.
It's happening.

They've been asking people to do that for like a week now, I don't know why they didn't just send an email then.
Beta will probably be immediately following gamescom.
BUT I WANT IT NOOOWWWWW
You could join a reenacting group and get the same experience.

Some map names leaked
[QUOTE=usaokay;50885212]So is Battlefield 1 going to follow Battlefront's model of only including four distinct locations in the base game[/QUOTE]
In that case, I miss BF2 and 1942, which had lots of maps. It at least felt like they did.
I was going through the alpha "datamining" again and I don't know why no one really talked about the fact that there are announcer voice clips for fortifying objectives. Seems in operations mode you can specifically build some sort of fortifications at objectives.

[QUOTE=usaokay;50885212]So is Battlefield 1 going to follow Battlefront's model of only including four distinct locations in the base game[/QUOTE]
There's desert maps, alpine maps, city maps, European countryside maps, deep forest maps (seems almost like a jungle/rainforest), coastal maps...
Don't compare this to Battlefront. The door has already been blown off content wise from battlefront. There's at least 4 [I]wheeled[/I] vehicles already (probably a final number, but plenty), and that's not to mention the three distinct tanks, [B]six[/B] aircraft, the behemoths, and a naval component I don't think we've even scratched the surface of (reminder that there's voice clips for spotting [B]submarines[/B]). Plus horses.
The vehicles are very versatile as well regarding equipment. Just the artillery truck alone can equip an AA gun, a direct fire anti-tank/HE type gun, or a mortar (mobile mortar bunker sounds like a lot of fun).

Only the Ypres map is 'new'. It's unclear whether it was a legitimate leak but I do seem to remember a "come back for more" type blurb in that fourth slot that is now gone, as if they removed something else and left it blank.
So from my understanding, the tank classes work like RO2? Or can you still leave the vehicle and others drive too?
[QUOTE=Megadave;50885500]So from my understanding, the tank classes work like RO2? Or can you still leave the vehicle and others drive too?[/QUOTE]
You pick vehicles to spawn in to from the spawn screen, whether they are from your uncappable spawn or on an actual flag. This spawns you inside the tank with your tank class. You can get out and run around with that class and anyone can drive it regardless of what class they are. But you need to have a repair tool (in the alpha, tank and pilot both got one) to initiate self repair. You don't have to be a tank class to drive though.
I really hope that they will have the vulkan api choosable.

I'm gonna guess that the trailer today will have the beta date at the end.

It would be weird to provide more information about it before the date, so most likely.
Open beta start date : [url]https://www.battlefield.com/news/article/battlefield-1-beta-dates[/url]
31st August
21st August for Insiders.
What is that pistol at 00:53?
Really disappointed that the 08/15 is exclusive to the sentry pickup kit, had my suspicions though.

Steyr m1912.

Looks like a Steyr M1912
Awesome, thanks! It feels fresh seeing another environment instead of st quentin scar
Sweet sandstorm, damn that looks awesome.
Was rush confirmed before? I seem to remember most people assuming it was replaced by operations.
[quote]Rush. A 24-player mode where the Attacking force must find and destroy the Defending force's Telegraph Posts, which can be used to call in artillery strikes. The Defenders can deny the Attackers their mission by disarming explosives they plant on the telegraph positions. Should the Telegraph Posts be destroyed, the Defenders must fall back to the next sector and protect the Telegraph Posts there.[/quote]
Looks like 5ish horses per team? Hopefully there's a horse superiority mode.

Doesn't actually say 21st for insiders. Just that you have to sign up by then.
Could be the 22nd, since that's a week from now - but I would venture a guess that it will be a 1-3 day head start.
