Developer EA DICE has recreated World War I in Battlefield 1 and reviewers have noted it as an exciting military shooter. The developer has issued the full patch notes of the upcoming update 10242016.
The update weighs around 703MB on PC, though some have disputed the size. Meanwhile, Reddit users have complained that after the PC update, the stats of the players was reset and brought back to 0.
The update is for all the platforms that Battlefield 1 released — PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
The update has fixed one issue that was an irritation, incorrect class ranks. This fix will now let players find themselves at lower class rank.
Recently, players had witnessed a glitch in the Zeppelin Behemoth destroyer, where it turned into tornado of fire. But this has not been addressed in the update.
Here is what GameSpot said in its conclusion of the Battlefield 1 review, "With Battlefield 1, EA and DICE have proven the viability of World War 1 as a time period worth revisiting in first-person shooters. It brings into focus countries and nationalities that do not exist today while also shedding light on how the outcome of that war has shaped our lives."
