Battlefield 1 PC Boxart Release Date: October 21, 2016 Developer: DICE Publisher: Electronic Arts Series: Battlefield Platforms: PC Playstation 4 XBOX One Genre: First-Person Shooter

Battlefield 1 is a first-person shooter under development by Swedish game developer DICE and to be published by Electronic Arts, and the next installment in the popular Battlefield series. It appears to be set in a fictionalized version of the First World War, with players taking on the role of soldiers in the trenches or controlling vehicles from tanks and early fighter planes to armored trains and zeppelins.

Current footage is from trailers, and E3 2016 footage and online streams of a highly incomplete multiplayer pre-alpha build. The main map seen in this footage is "The St. Quentin Scar," set during the Battle of Mont Saint-Quentin in 1918.

The following weapons appear in the video game Battlefield 1:

Handguns

Colt M1911

The Colt M1911 appears as the "M1911".

Colt M1911 (dated 1913) - .45 ACP

Colt M1911 in the Harlem Hellfighters DLC.

Mauser C96

A Mauser C96 can be seen on the boxart as well as second gameplay trailer.

Mauser C96 "Red 9" Version for the German Army - 9x19mm

A Mauser C96 being fired right next to a soldier's head.

The carbine configuration may be a little overpowered in this early build.

The weapon in the soldier's left hand is not a spiked grenade as it might appear to be, but a "trench raiding club," a type of improvised melee weapon made by WW1 soldiers.

Webley Mk VI

The Webley Mk VI revolver is shown being used by a tank crewman during the second gameplay trailer.

Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk. III* Signal Pistol

The Marksman class is equipped with a signal pistol for marking targets, the icon for which is a Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk. III* Signal Pistol.

Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk. III* Signal Pistol - 1 inch - brass frame and barrel

The icon for the Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk. III* is visible on the list to the right under the M1911.

Luger P08

A Luger P08 appears in the Red Baron Pack, which is included in the Early Enlister Deluxe Edition.

Luger P08 - 9x19mm

Note that the second "Behemoth" is the HMS Dreadnought or a ship of the same class, while the third is the WW1-era Russian / Soviet "rail cruiser" Zaamurets, later known as Polipanovtsi, BP-4, Lenin, Orlik and Train No. 105. This train served on both sides during the Russian Civil War and undertook a remarkable journey across the world, ultimately ending up in the hands of the Japanese military after being seized from Chinese forces in Manchuria.

Submachine Guns

Bergmann MP18

The Bergmann MP18 is also seen on the boxart as well as second gameplay trailer.

Bergmann MP18 with 32 round Trommelmagazin 08 - 9x19mm

A soldier wields a MP18 with a 32-round snail drum magazine and a spike bayonet while riding in a motorcycle's sidecar. The MP18 was never actually fitted with a folding bayonet in real life, so this is probably treated as an "accessory" for multiple weapons in the game.

Beretta M1918

The Beretta M1918 submachine gun is shown in the second gameplay trailer. Presumably due to the continued existence of Beretta's name trademark, in the pre-alpha multiplayer gameplay footage it is called the "Automatico M1918."

Beretta M1918 submachine gun with folding spike bayonet - 9mm Glisenti

A soldier holds a Beretta M1918 submachine gun as he gets buzzed by a Sopwith Camel. The sight visible to the left of the magazine is based on an experimental magnifying sight developed for the Lee-Enfield rifle, though it was never used on the M1918 and is probably another "accessory" upgrade.

Shotguns

Winchester Model 1897

A soldier is briefly seen with Winchester Model 1897 Trench Gun.

Remington Model 10

A soldier is briefly seen shooting a Remington Model 10 pump-action shotgun appears as the "Model 10-A".

Rifles

Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III*

British soldiers can be seen with Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* rifles.

Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* - .303 British. This was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces during the First World War.

Springfield M1903 Mk 1

A barrel is seen that is very similar to the Springfield M1903 Mk 1 rifle.

Springfield M1903 Mk 1 - .30-06

The barrel on the left likely held by a US soldier.

Placeholder Rifle

Italian soldiers in the first trailer are seen with what appear to be ersatz Carcano 1891 Cavalry Carbines made out of the game's other rifle models. Since the soldiers are only seen briefly, the models are almost certainly placeholders for an actual Carcano model to be completed later.

Carcano M91/38 Cavalry Carbine with folded bayonet - 6.5mm.

Mauser Gewehr 1898

A scoped Mauser Gewehr 1898 is briefly seen in teaser trailer as well as in multiplayer footage.

The Winchester Model 1895 appears as the "Russian 1895" in multiplayer gameplay footage with a scope mounted.

Cei-Rigotti - 6.5×52mm Mannlicher

A soldier charging with a Cei-Rigotti rifle.

Winchester Model 1907

The Winchester Model 1907 appears to be a weapon for the medic class; it is shown with a 10-round magazine which somehow contains 20 rounds. While 15 and 20-round magazines were used on French Model 1907s, the one shown in the game is not nearly large enough. One player character is also shown with one fitted with a bayonet and Thompson submachine gun foregrip, a modification made in real life by members of John Dillinger's gang, though it is not known to have been done to any French military rifle. Of the two attachment presets available in the game, one is semi-automatic only while the other is select-fire; French M1907s were often converted to select-fire.

Launchers

1.59-inch Breech-Loading Vickers Q.F. Gun, Mk II

The 1.59-inch Breech-Loading Vickers Q.F. Gun Mk II, a rather obscure weapon designed for attacking enemy fortifications and quickly replaced in infantry use by the Stokes Trench Mortar, is a deployable weapon for what appears to be the engineer or anti-tank class, similar to the rocket and missile launchers of previous games. It is referred to in the game as the "AT Rocket Gun," which is an error not entirely of the developers' making: due to the two flames emitted from holes in the base of incendiary shells for the aircraft-mounted version, it was popularly known as the "Vickers-Crayford Rocket Gun"

1.59-inch Breech-Loading Vickers Q.F. Gun, Mk II - 1.59 in (40 mm)

Explosives

Geballte Ladung

The Geballte Ladung appears to be a weapon used by the engineer or anti-tank class, and is seen on the belt of an Allied soldier in the teaser trailer as well as in a multiplayer footage.

Mounted weapons

Madsen M1902

A Madsen M1902 light machine gun that is mounted on Zeppelin.

Lewis Gun

The British Mark V tank incorrectly has a Lewis Gun mounted on the bow, which can be used by the driver; in real life, there would be a separate gunner for the machine gun mounted here. Lewis guns were mounted on previous Marks of British tank, but the Mark V used Hotchkiss guns instead. Mark V tanks seem to be used by both sides, which is actually accurate; huge numbers of tanks were abandoned following failed advances and pressed back into service with German forces.

Lewis Gun - .303 British

A German soldier leaps dramatically into his pilfered Mark V tank, showing the pan magazine of the bow-mounted Lewis gun.

Maxim Gun

Fixed Maxim machine guns can be found around maps seen in the multiplayer pre-alpha. These are shown fitted with a Russian-style ribbed water jacket. A similar Maxim is seen mounted in a cupola on top of the British airship, which is actually a German P-Class Zeppelin.

Maxim MG08

The German A7V tank is equipped with a 57mm main gun and a number of Maxim MG08 machine guns that can be used by the crew. As with the Mark V, the A7V is shown being used by both sides, which is a little less likely since only 20 were built and the British and French already had tanks that were superior to them.

7.7 cm Feldkanone 96 n.A.

During the second gameplay trailer, one player character is seen manning a 7.7cm Feldkanone 96 n.A., followed by the POV player character taking control of one and using it to shoot a British Mark V "male" tank. More Feldkanones are seen around control points in multiplayer footage.

7.7 cm Feldkanone 96 neuer Art - 77mm

21 cm Mörser 16

Fixed 21cm Mörser 16 heavy howitzers are seen in preview trailers and around base areas in the multiplayer footage. In the E3 2016 multiplayer footage the teams did not seem to be using them, implying that whatever mechanics they are to use have not been implemented yet.
