“I want to personally thank you all for the great feedback you’ve given us,” said Aleks Grondal, senior producer. “We’re trawling through forum posts, social media mentions, and digging into some great data. We’re identifying what worked well, and what didn’t work as well. We truly value your input. In the near future, we’ll have more details on the changes we’ll be making to the full version of the game (yes, the Light Tank performed a little too well, that will be addressed).”
Battlefield 1 launches October 13 for EA and Origin Access members, and worldwide October 21 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
