10 tips for staying alive in the Battlefield 1 open beta

While playing the Battlefield 1 open beta, I was once again reminded it’s hard to stay alive in a game full of die-hard players. I lasted only minutes in the Sinai Desert, the new multiplayer map that Electronic Arts is opening up to all players today. But that’s only because I spent a lot of time running or riding into the action.

In those rare moments when I was in combat with other players, I only survived for seconds. Here’s a few tips that I learned during my short encounters with the enemy so far. Check out the video of gameplay below. You can see that I rarely execute on my own advice. But hey, remember the old saying. Old people for counsel, young people for war. I played the open beta on Origin on the Windows PC.
