Servers down?

It's £49.99 if you have EA Access on the MS Store but because it's being bundled in Xbox's at the moment if you're patient someone will put one up for sale for £35-40 I'm sure. They have on in the MM but they were snapped up.

I'm not patient enough and bought two £25 vouchers for the MS store for £42 and bought it that way.

Am I being thick or can't you exit a multi player game in between games? Proper dumb it makes you join the next game before you can exit.

Enjoying it though, big change from bf4. Didnt likd hardline at all.

You can exit but it only gives you 5 seconds or so to do so at the end of a round.

Seems to be taking me forever to rank up my class.

If you go to soldier in the main menu and select primary weapons you should be able to see your progress.

I think its 50k for Assault, 45 or 50k for Support/Medic and 30k for Scout.

Gave the game some hammer and wish there were more maps to play now

Is anyone else having no scoreboard/highlights etc screen show up at the end of a round?

I just get a loading circle in the middle of the screen until the next level loads up. I can see the scoreboard during the game though which is strange. Just nothing at the end of a round

yes me more often than not.

Anyone use the mg15 or Bar in support class?

Seem the popular choice in the class but not sure which to stick with, as I suck with both

.

I tend to go for the optical versions.

I despise how you can't leave games before they start...

I had to quit a few games today just for being plonked on useless teams. There must have been about 20 guys lining the sides of the map and leaving a hand full to defend the objectives. We got over run within 5 minutes.

I have to admit to being a little skeptical when the World War 1 setting was announced when BF1 was unveiled and wasn't planning on buying it but how wrong was I, its brilliant fun. Reminds me of the good old days of playing WW2 COD games instead of going to lectures!

Really enjoying it, Operations Mode is a nice addition and works well, I'm still rubbish with a sniper rifle but enjoying it so far.

It does feel a little like Star Wars Battlefront at times and I'd like to see what the new expansions will be but so far, so good, between this FM2017 and Civ 6 I might not need another game until this time next year!

Had one of my better games as a medic yesterday on Argnon Forest Conquest, might not play it again, end on a high

mid_gen · 2 Nov 2016 at 07:19

Do you still have to grind multiplayer for hundreds of hours to use all the weapons?

Plainsong · 2 Nov 2016 at 07:29

Nah levelling gets you credits which you use to unlock weapons. Nothing like as bad as BF4. A little too simplistic, if you ask me.

ZG002 · 2 Nov 2016 at 07:37

I've a feeling more weapons will be locked away in the DLC when it comes, probs already ready to go knowing devs these days.

Yup had the same last night. It is really annoying. There should be a limit on snipers. They contribute the grand total of **** all to conquest/operations and rush type games.

Instead of quitting my last game yesterday I decided to go support with gas grenades and just went round chucking gas grenades at them so they couldn't use their scopes without having to get up and move. Was quite satisfying

Good idea. I think I'll try that next time. Must be hell for those players when the fog/sand storms roll in.

Playing last night I experienced a couple of problems I've not come across before. The whole screen hangs, at the start of rounds it would hang and the people I was running with end up in front of me as if I've just been stood still. Also happened loads during fights etc, needless to say I died a lot. The other problem was end of round scores etc not populating, was just black backgrounds. Anyone else get that?

Aside from that am loving the game. Playing mainly conquest but have done medals for rush and pigeon modes and played my first few conquest rounds last night. Have settled on a gun and accessory set for Medic, Assault and Support (started this last night due to medal) but just can't do anything as sniper which is frustrating as I was rocking it in the beta.

Squad leaders not designating targets continues to be the biggest annoyance though, happened in every round last night. It really does help focus the squad together when done.
