*** Battlefield 1 ***
- Thread starter antijoke
- Start date
Are the sniper rifles now one shot kills like COD? I seem to one shotted every time and some of the Youtube vids seem to show large hit box kills nowhere near headshots.
The horses are OP when they ride past several feet away and and you drop down dead apparently meleed after putting a clip into it with no effect.
The spotting is terrible not working most of the time and the tanks and aircraft have no tag most of the time to tell which side they are.
The anti-tank capabilities are pretty poor as you have to no way to get and effective aim with the grenades and are really close range allowing vehicles to roam around only challenged by other vehicles. They need an anti-rifle for one of the classes.
Had some fun playing but I hope they balance vehicles and sort out the sniping etc before release.

Great game with windle a while ago. Squad play with friends is such fun as you work as a team better, than just randoms in a squad.
Im starting to like this game a lot more, it's only taken me to rank 26 to start to like it.

The sniping is far, far too easy. The bullet velocity and bullet drop feels like the .50 cal from BF3/4. They will be getting nerfed I would imagine, it's far too easy to snipe right now.
What's up with them having a ranged anti vehicle option as well? :/

Yup, took me a while to twig you'd joined my squad. Like all BF games its miles better with a decent squad who follow their orders, also does wonders for your point score. Finished top in that last game on our team, shame we lost overall though.
Loved when we had a full capture bus going. Just zip round the flags with the 5-6 in the APC equivalent, quick capture and roll on
It's two shot, unless a headshot which is instant death.
Horses are broken, hit one earlier with two rounds from a tank and he rode off like nothing happened. Also when you get hit from several feet away is annoying as hell.
There is an anti tank gun on Assault, it absolutely recks anything light and 5 shots a bit tank.
Vehicles are fine, it's just we don't have all the unlocks yet. This is why games get unbalanced because people want balance before they even have all the tools.
Sniping feels way to easy though and pretty much half the games I play 80% of my team and the other feels like a sniper battle.
I didn't like this at first but must admit it's growing on me a bit. I like the general WW1 feel and the guns are pretty cool and different.
The medic class is pretty fun to play too and virtually no-one seems to bother with it. The semi auto rifle is pretty decent and seems OP to me if anything. I locked down a building for about 10 mins with it just catching players off guard and re healing myself each time I got hit. Even sniped a bit with it.

Until BF1 I was unaware that during WW1 or any WW in fact that bullets could turn corners and also that one could be shot in the head by a sniper sitting in the back of a plane.
History redefined.
If only Mythbusters was still on.

Getting hit around corners made me rage quit BF4. Seeing as they spent so much time and effort to resolve it, it's odd to hear it's return.

Nope, you aren't the only one that does this. If I can I will use the Cavalry class for the armour bonus and infinite ammo/health and run rampages with the Russian (Winchester) 1895 - I found it ironic they picked that rifle for the Cavalry class... its like cowboys and indians

Yeah i just go for the non scoped rifle and rush around with everyone else, absolutely destroy people. Do so much more than the other 90% of the snipers that just sit on a hill far away doing absolutely nothing.
I am no finding that at all. Sure there are snipers but on the whole I see plenty of people around C, D playing infantry trying to capture the points. Think I am around level 33 and I'm still loving it, despite it being only one map.
