*** Battlefield 1 ***

After 5 hours on MP I had my first sniper issue tonight, same bloke got me 5 times. Nothing I've not seen in the previous BF games, he was in a good spot and he got me more than I got him, other than that I can count how many times I've been shot by a sniper on both hands, really don't see what the problem with them is.

I think a lot of it is perception, people heard/saw there were a lot of snipers in beta and level the same criticism at the trial. But I have seen much fewer snipers in the trial compared to the beta. I'd say its SMG sorts of weapons that I see most used in the trial.
 
They need to look at the netcode for planes, this weird movement thing they're doing where they suddenly hit warp speed and move a large distance in the blink of an eye is getting irritating. It only seems to happen while dogfighting them though, not noticed it when using a flak cannon against them.

True I seem to get killed mostly by LMG's though, sniper being the least class that kills me, might be my play style being active and hitting objectives.
Tank's can he hard at times, though if I'm in a good spot and I can get 2 tank nades and a round of anti tank rifle this normal takes care of them on my own.

Had a go with the shotgun! Realy enjoyed it in close quarters! Not exactly great gameplay i admit :D really like in te middle how a guy led me away, gassed the area and tried to jump me! Nice tactics being deployed with the gas

The double barrel with the tank hunter pickup is awesome, at close range it's a insta kill.

The Lewis gun with the scope and 90+ rounds on the drum is decent, just unlocked it and holding some tight valleys on the forest map is excellent for it, just make sure you let off the trigger so it doesn't overheat sometimes.
 
had a quick bash at operations and I'm quite liking it :) graphics are AMAZING and gameplay is pretty good,i do find I'm getting a bit frustrated at the way some (most) people are playing the game though lol a lot of people seem to be running around like headless chickens! and I havnt seen one person spot anyone yet?

just about to have a bash on conquest now :)
 
Yeah, I haven't found much team play.

Some people who are medics or support... even if you stand in front of them asking for health pack / ammo... they just ignore you... that's rather annoying.

On the other hand... when you know how to play... it's easy to rack up silly scores in tank play especially... I managed a 40-0 the other night just because I know how to handle a tank, keeping it loaded and repaired along with aiming for the weak spots on other tanks means with a heavy tank I can easily take out even two tanks quite often.

So many people just sit still in a tank and shoot too... not realising that its harder to hit a moving target.

I just keep close to cover I can duck behind to repair/reload if I need to. Can easily get the first tank in the game and have it last til the end.

Would be nice to get a squad together with mic for some proper team play.
 
I'm really loving it. I think it looks incredible, truly, and plays like a dream.

Snipers OP, but trust they'll sort that. Needs to be a more skill-based weapon..too easy to shoot at the mo.

The CQC stuff is AMAZING.
 
well conquest was MUCH better experience than operations, there was more teamplay and I actually got healed and revived by medics a few times so was much much better :) I'm still yet to see anyone else spotting though and I seem to be the only one doing it lol oh I'm totally noobish at the moment as well as in I'm TERRIBLE! lol

for some reason I seem worse on this than I did the beta,best ive done in the 3 games ive had is mid board and that was with just 8 kills lol I captured a lot of flags though :)

I'm enjoying the game but a few little things I'm finding frustrating at the moment,im sure I will get better the more I play and hopefully the cod players will **** off when the new cod releases leaving good TEAMPLAYING battlefield players haha

Its definitely infinitely better when you play with friends, many do simply run about like headless chickens (not something unique to BF of course, thats applicable to just about every online FPS in existence) , but once you're running about with reliable friends, spotting and reviving etc. Makes a world of difference.
 
People that have the standard version you can start playing at 4pm BST instead of 11pm using a VPN and choosing Japan!
 
Never got to try the beta so signed up for a month’s Access to give the trial a bash, looks and sounds great but wasn’t what I was hoping for.

With all the tanks zooming about and automatic weapons in use it felt a little too... Battlefield 3 or 4. While I understand they can’t just give everyone a bolt action rifle, have no special optics and have ‘land ships’ move at 5mp/h and break down every 100 meters for "fun" it’s a little bit too far the other way for my liking.

Liked the new mode though, mostly, and in the 10 hours I played I had fun but while it looked it didn't feel like I was playing a game set in WW1.

Anyway, for the many who will, enjoy the game!

All the people that have come from cod to this game are ruining it for me,every team I seem to get in everyone is all running around by themselves all over the place like headless chickens not even caring if they die 100 times,its doing my nut in!

The game has MASSIVE potential and sometimes for a brief second or 2 seems amazing but then,,nope,,its a cod fest but on a bigger scale lol I just hope that all the people that have come from cod **** off when the new call of duty is out so I can have more decent games,last game I had 13 kills but died a whopping 23 times! as was mostly trying to capture flags on my own while the rest of my team were doing god knows what lol

oh there wasn't even 1 medic on the whole of my team either,not ONE! part of me loves this game as when its good its very very good but get on a bad team full of cod (they may not all be from cod but that's how they play) players and it becomes a VERY frustrating game
