Er, how are you playing it this early? :eek:

Has the EA access trial started?

Edit: Seems so, although when I click trial I just get a 'waiting' label.

Edit 2: Get it from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/battlefield-1/bwttw53m5b98

Then if you already have the game preloaded, away you go :cool:

It looks great on Xbox One... if it's 720p it's a good 720p.... :-)

It does look very good. There is some graphical lag when things get busy though.

Not noticed any lag but I have just done the first off the story's....

McBain · 12 Oct 2016 at 22:16

Can't seem to actually get into a MP game, it just sits on loading.

CliffyG · 12 Oct 2016 at 22:44

I've played quite a few rounds of conquest now. Got to rank 9 and medic rank 2. Maybe the graphical lag only happens in big conquest games?

Does everything carry over to when the game is actually released?

Just been reading about fps issues on it just now.

It does carry over yeah.

Played a few maps, they've definitely nerfed the light tank feels like you die much quicker in it.

I'm really enjoying this. As per every other Battlefield game I'm pretty crap at it but finding it enjoyable. The single player stories are pretty good too....

Spikey · 13 Oct 2016 at 10:45

Going to play this shortly. Is the HDR patch for Xbox One due on launch day?

CliffyG · 13 Oct 2016 at 12:16

I had a look through the menu's last night after playing, why is it you cant customise your soldier unless you are in game. Rounds turnaround quite quickly and i'd like a more leisurely browse through all the options.

This really irritates me about all battlefield games.

You cannot change your class mid round and can only do it during a game, taking you completely out the game for what could be ages.

Yes I am aware there is an app that allows you to do this, but that does not make it right a core feature of the game is not available after a game has finished and before the next one.

CliffyG · 13 Oct 2016 at 12:23

Oh I didn't realise it was the same on all of them.

What is the app you can use? Still means doing 2 things at once though.

There is no app for BF1 yet, EA will be launching a new one which will work for all the BF games.

Yep, ridiculous you still can't do it out of a round.

Load times are bad today for some reason. Matchmaking is so slow I've given up but even going through server browser load times are mental.

Far too many medics in the game too. None of them ever bloody revive either!

ScarySquirrel · 13 Oct 2016 at 19:52

I'm really enjoying this, used 3 hours of my trial already so I doubt it will last long. I'm also getting annoyed with medics not reviving.

My favourite battlefield was 2 and nothing has come close for me. I wasnt looking forward to this but im really impressed so far. I might actually but this

quickshot89 · 13 Oct 2016 at 21:17

Best place to get digital for xb1?

CliffyG · 14 Oct 2016 at 12:32

I was shockingly bad last night, one round I went 1-17. Literally running into bullets the second I spawned, had to quit in the end. Night previous I was always top 5 in the leader board.

I've found most squads never designate targets and everyone runs round like headless chickens. So much better and organised with a proper squad leader. Has anyone come across someone using voice comms yet?
