Battlefield 1 Open Beta: 5 Ups & 5 Downs

3. It's Glitchy As Hell

Again, not massively unexpected, but frustrating all the same given that the game comes out in less than two months and DICE don't exactly have a great track record for improving their games beyond the betas.

Some of the more egregious and prevalent bugs include horses being able to leap over walls they absolutely shouldn't be able to, environmental objects such as boxes getting blown up and lingering around in the air, the player's clipping through the turret on some vehicles, and getting snagged on the environment and being unable to move, such that you're forced to wait for the sweet release of death to get back into combat.

While some of these nagging issues will be remedied before release, it's probably best to expect a few to linger around for a while, which is a damn shame. Given how polished the game is in some areas, it feels woefully lacking in others.
