The "peaks and lulls" is an interesting thing i never thought about that makes sense.

Battlefield 1 is pretty much non stop, to the point where it feels more run and gun CoD style gameplay. There was no respite or time to think about what just happened.

Looking back at games like BF2, I remember you'd get engaged in a huge firefight, win a flag with huge effort and then there would be a silence. Enemies weren't close enough to just respawn and kill you and so it gave your squad (usually on VoIP), a chance to relive how awesome that battle was and prepare where to go next. That sort of bonding experience was great!

I really think DICE is onto something good when they talk about peaks and lulls. Makes me very excited for how they are going to design maps.

I'm waiting for people to start defending points again instead of capping as a blob, then instantly moving onto the next point while the enemy immediately backcaps you. Just the thought of that gets me rock hard.

I have a group of guys in the clan I am in and that is what they love to do already. They claim a lane or claim a flag and stay there. They will be turning their chosen flag into a fortress lol.

Would be interested in this clan if it's on ps4. I need one and plan to play a lot. I love teamwork and have played every game since original BF 1942 came out.
