Right off the heels of its debut trailer months ago, "Battlefield 1" has received nothing but positive acclaim, in part to its World War I theme, cinematic visuals, and frenetic gameplay. However, it would seem like gamers need to keep up with the qualities aforementioned, as EA finally released the rundown for the game's minimum and recommended specifications.

According to earlier reports, "Battlefield 1" will be running under an optimized version of the Frostbite Engine, which might explain its steep spec requirements. Furthermore, DICE Studios' director of technology Per-Olof Rommell has mentioned that they are trying to helm the game as intensive as ever, when quizzed regarding their choice of engine.

Here are Battlefield 1's spec requirements for PC:

EA also posted an article explaining their learnings from the recent open beta release of BF1, and went on to share that they are taking in as much as they can to improve the game, particularly the players' woes to add in Rush Mode, as well as balancing the output of the weapons and vehicles.

"We have also been monitoring and listening to your comments in regards to the Rush game mode. It's super exciting for us to bring back Rush for Battlefield 1, and we are aiming to make it the best Rush experience to date. We are making tweaks to the game mode as we speak with your feedback as the backbone to the entire process.

We're also looking into balancing other elements, including the weapons and vehicles. The Light Tank, which is a bit too effective in the Open Beta, will definitely receive some work, and we agree that Horses can take a few too many rounds at the moment. We've also learned through the Beta that you guys need more tools to deal with vehicles earlier, which we'll definitely look into (including a Gadget for the Support class which should help neutralize powerful vehicles)."

"Battlefield 1" is slated for an October 21 release.
