After releasing a new gameplay and talking about the Beta of Battlefield 1, DICE decided it was time to clarify the biggest question many: How will the horses in this FPS? Thus, in an entry on the blog Battlefield , Tommy Rydling, manager of DICE community, shared details about the role they will have these units in Battlefield 1 .
Horses in Battlefield 1 will be powerful units melee thanks to its speed and agility. While offering trample enemies or shoot them down as you approach them with your sword, also they can be used to maintain distance and attack opponents with medium – range weapons.
Also, the member said that DICE is trying to beat the ideal units for vehicles. This since its speed allows you surround slow and mechanized vehicles and attack with explosives.
Finally, Rydling said what many wanted to hear: the horses will be different vehicles. This is because DICE developed them as living beings and not as an instrument of battle, so you can expect to react to the environment.
“If you accelerate a car at the edge of a cliff, but if you go to the same cliff on horseback, surely this panic and refuses to continue. Is a brave and loyal animal, but happily not jump to his death, “said Rydling.
