Battlefield 1 - Open Beta | Epic Postmortem 5X Multikill!

- Click Here for Video -
From spawn to post muerte, this video captures one of the more epic moments of battle that I have encountered while playing the Battlefield 1 beta. This may be a taste of things to come with the upcoming release of Battlefield 1 from game-makers EA DICE.

Definitely getting that BattleFeel from BF1!

I spawn into the game near the train station at D-Flag. The battle is already hot and heavy! Because there are tanks and other enemy vehicles in the vicinity, I immediately lay down some anti-tank (AT) mines. This turns out to have been a good move even though the effort did not save my own life.

After dropping the mines, I run around the railroad cars and find myself facing a heavily armored tank. There is little I can do but throw some anti-tank grenades at it and run for my life.

You will, however, see me try to shoot the tank in a futile attempt to finish off the damage and disable the vehicle. Eventually, I run for cover in the direction of the mines I had placed earlier (hoping to lure the tank to its demise).

I take heavy damage but manage to survive the battle with this particular tank. But the glory is short lived as I am quickly run over by another armored enemy vehicle. The battle was not quite lost, however.

The tank which ran me over continued to drive around the railroad cars and eventually drove over my AT mines. All on-board the vehicle were lost along with someone standing nearby. I'm not sure that more than four people could have been in that particular tank at one time.

Either way, my single death resulted in 5 enemy deaths. And that, my friends, is how to play the game!



This video was captured on a PlayStation 4 (PS4) using the Elgato HD60 game capture device and a Blue Yeti microphone. It was edited using Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum.

So far my experience with playing the Battlefield 1 beta has been truly great. If anything, it has convinced me to pre-order the full game.

Looking forward to seeing you on the Battlefield!

Battlefield 1 - Open Beta | 4X Multikill with AT Mine!

- Click Here for Video -
Walked into some heavy Battlefield 1 action near the antenna tower at C flag and immediately set some anti-tank (AT) mines. Started taking heavy damage from bullets and poison gas so I ditched it near a wall hoping to recover some hit points before someone noticed me.

As I got up and made my way over to some nearby cover, I see one of the enemy vehicles return to the area. Luckily, they ran right over one of my AT mines and the entire vehicle was destroyed. There were no survivors.

This action landed me my first 4X multikill in Battlefield 1. It was awesome to see because I was not expecting to take out that many enemy soldiers at once.

So far my experience with playing the Battlefield 1 beta has been truly great. If anything, it has convinced me to pre-order the full game. The pre-order option that I chose will allow me to access the game a few days early. The game is going to be released to the public on Friday October 21, 2016. With the pre-order, I will be able to start playing on Tuesday October 18, 2016!

Battlefield 1 - Open Beta | Killed in Action!

- Click Here for Video -
Warning: Do not drive your vehicle directly into the ammo depot. Failure to follow these guidelines may cause severe injury including death.

Battlefield 1 is chock full of that Battlefeel!!!

I was driving my vehicle rather erratically and ended up crashing into a stash of bombs in the Ammo Depot at the G-Flag. The resulting explosion caught me so off guard that I dropped a G-Rated F-Bomb!

Oh, my goodness! This game is awesome and DICE has definitely paid attention to detail. I was not expecting that they would code the game with such logical precision that running into a stockpile of ammunition with a vehicle would lead to total destruction of the vehicle and a premature death.

It stands to reason that driving directly into a pile of bombs would be dangerous and ill-advised but it's something that previous game developers seemed to have allowed to occur all of the time. I guess it's time to stop assuming I can do careless things and not have to pay the price. Those days are long gone with the introduction of Battlefield 1 and this version of the Frostbite engine.

My hat is off to the folks staying up late at night and working long hours over there at EA DICE. Thank you for this glimpse at what appears to be an epic new game. If the full release lives up the the impact of the beta then you can bet your sweet jeep that I'll be staying up late on many, many nights battling for the wins with the awesome community that has grown up around this fantastic franchise!

Battlefield 1 - Open Beta | Operation Dead-Eye!

- Click Here for Video -
Here's a quick BF1 video which begs the question, "Was this a great shot with the rifle on horseback or did I simply pull off a WW1 era Han Solo Lucky Shot?"

...looks a little more like Indiana Jones actually.

This Battlefield 1 multiplayer beta gameplay video opens with my soldier riding in on horseback with a barrage of tracer rounds whizzing by his ears. Upon nearing the flag, I see a sniper off in the distance. While still in the process of drawing a quick bead on the distant shooter, I squeezed the trigger and pulled off an amazing single-shot kill.

I believe that the enemy had already been hit by other gunfire and had their health points reduced prior to my shot but, still, it was awesome to see the sniper fall after a single, well-timed, rifle blast.  The rewards displayed on the HUD tell the full story.

The rendering and game mechanics realized in the horses is simply amazing. The action is smooth and the horses are incredibly realistic. It's almost like playing a remastered version of Red Dead Redemption that somehow stumbled upon the Battlefields of the First World War! Did I mention that this game is tons of fun? I've only been able to play on one map and I'd gladly go back to the same map right now if I could. But, like most everyone else, I will have to wait patiently until the release date later in October of this year. ...in the meantime, I'll be surfing the YouTubes looking for more BF1 gameplay videos.

Skill or Lucky Shot? You decide!

Battlefield 1 - Open Beta | Dynamite Action!

- Click Here for Video -
I just wanted to drop a short note saying how excited I am to have been able to participate in the Battlefield 1 Open Beta and also be able to get in on the action one day early! I've been loving every minute of gameplay since launching it on my PS4 earlier today.

At this stage the beta has one very large map allowing up to 64 players to engage in a Conquest mode battle in the Sinai Desert. A second game mode, Battlefield's classic Rush, allows as many as 24 players to face each other in WWI style combat.

So far I am quite impressed with this game release. Never before have I seen a console game which allowed for 64 players at a time to be on the same map simultaneously. Also unseen in the past is the level of game customization that this PS4 release is capable of supporting. And I haven't even begun to rave about the high definition graphics and awesome soundscape!


The linked video is just a small shadow of the amazing audio-visual experience and game mechanics offered by EA DICE for this round of Battlefield. I will have more videos and a full review coming soon. Stay tuned!

Thanks for visiting the Skookum Valley Gaming blog! Keep coming back!

Looking forward to seeing you on the Battlefield!
