The new squad system allows a group of players to enter and leave game servers together. The game's multiplayer mode supports up to 64 players. Unlike its predecessors, the game features a collection of war stories, similar to an anthology. When the player dies, a name appears on the screen of a real soldier, along with their birth year. These roles can range from tank gunner to rifleman. If the player dies in the prologue, they will then take control of another soldier and role instead of reloading from a checkpoint. Players can control several characters in the campaign. The game's world designer, Daniel Berlin, said the campaign mode has larger and more open environments than those in previous installments in the franchise, with more options and choices in terms of paths to completing levels and how to approach combat. Destructible environments and weapon customization, features present in the previous games, returned in Battlefield 1 and are more dynamic. Players can also take control of various armored vehicles, including light and heavy tanks, armored trucks, cars, torpedo boats, bi- and tri-plane aircraft, an armored train, reconnaissance vehicles, a dreadnought and an M-class zeppelin, as well as ride horses into battle. These melee weapons were divided into three groups: heavy, medium and light. Melee combat was reworked, with DICE introducing new melee weapons such as sabres, trench clubs, and shovels into the game. Players can make use of World War I weapons, including bolt-action rifles, submachine guns, automatic and semi-automatic rifles, artillery, flamethrowers, and poison gas to combat opponents. It is set in the period of World War I, and is inspired by historical events. Similar to its predecessors, Battlefield 1 is a first-person shooter game that emphasizes teamwork.
