This week marks the start of Battlefest, a 12 day celebration of all thing Battlefield 1, and to celebrate the game is getting a major update. Players can now play the game’s Hardcore mode where players will not be assisted by a mini-map or a crosshair. It’ll be all up to the player’s natural skill. Also added was a Fog of War mode, which gives player’s limited sight.
