Welp, we probably should have known that this was coming, but Battlefield 1 is now (according to DICE) the biggest launch in both the franchise's and company's history. In a new post on DICE's official website, the developer laid out some seriously impressive and in-depth statistics about Battlefield 1 to this point.
Since the game launched back on October 21st, players from all over the world have put in over 59 million hours worth of gameplay with 9 million of those being spent in the game's Operations Mode.
Here's a breakdown of the other statistics:
- 32 Million Battlepacks have been earned
- 1.6 Million Behemoths have been deployed
- Most melee kills have been made with the Scout Knife
- 123,084 horses have been killed by Flame Troopers, Anti-Vehicle, and Sentries (sad face)
- Conquer Hell has been the most popular Operation to date
- 842,426 Carrier Pidgeons have been sent in War Pidgeons mode
- Ground vehicles have produced the most road kills with 1,667,353
- The average number of weather changes per match is 2
We loved Battlefield 1 in our Official Review, and the game is due to receive a massive update that will bring two new modes to the game among other things.
