Still within the confines of your homes playing online multiplayer FPS games rather than brave the freezing cold outside and play airsoft with your mates? Well, before the snow starts to thaw next month and if you are a Battlefield 1 gamer, then there is good news for you.

The Battlefield 1 Winter Update is a massive update, rolling out worldwide, the update will require a 4.6GB download for gaming consoles and a 1.6GB for PCs (hooray for PC gamers like us here at Popular Airsoft!).  Based on the feedback of gamers, they are implementing new features and improvements which they hope will keep the players coming back for more.

According to DICE, they are bringing back the Ribbons for players to collect, with a 300 XP increase whenever a ribbon is collected. These Ribbons are designed to promote good team play and playing the objective. Apart from the Ribbons, it is now possible to unlock an Elite Codex for 8 of the primary weapons available in the game. The requirement is to get 500 more kills per primary weapon and the player is awarded a shiny Elite Codex as well as 25,000 Bonus XP.

As for the max Class Ranks, the new one has been increased to 50. Once a player hits 50, he/she will be granted some extra Class flair in the kill card. There will also be Dog Tags that can be unlocked as a player progress towards the max Class Rank 50.

The Winter Update will also include the highly anticipated rent-a-server features. Admins will be able to kick out players from the server by using the in-game UI or ban a misbehaving player and they get priority access to the server. Players will be able to vote for the next map after a match is over and they are given two options which to vote for and whichever alternative that garners the most votes will be the map.
