*** Battlefield 1 ***

I just don't know about this game, I played the hell out of BF3 and a lot of BF4. Hardline was bad and I have hardly touched it. A new Battlefield is welcome but I am just not getting a great feeling about this and I am not sure why. Think I wanted a new Bad Company to be honest as its been so long since BC2 and I thought that was a superb game.

I will certainly have to try the beta though I think, I might get sucked in!
 
The hero thing worries me.

Unless it was built into some kind of juggernaut game mode only I'd lose interest in the game pretty quickly.

Hopefully the beta will give more to go on. Iirc there was nothing in the alpha.

Might be like in BF4 where you can sometimes find weapons to pick up and equip.

Could be that, seems a very hokey mechanic though, bit different grabbing a weapon as opposed to grabbing a weapon and getting kitted out in bulletproof armour. Assuming it works that way.

I haven't been following this closely but will we see more than 64 players? Would be great to get something new in terms of scale, I still remember logging into 1942 and being amazed.

Pretty sure it's still 64 player.

We've had 64 player BF for 14 years now, I've never seen a good explanation as to why we're stuck with this limit. It can't be bandwidth or hardware. Maybe it's server side that is the issue? It's a shame because this is what made the early games for me, huge maps and the scale.

I'm pretty sure it's a combination of server side and client. Obviously more players would result in a beefier server needed and I could be wrong on this bit but the minimum specs would probably rise as well. The client would need to process so much more data relating to the extra players.

I imagine mainly it's to keep costs down whilst maintaining the large number of systems able to play it(along with the consoles as well).

Must admit I don't really know enough to say for definite.
 
Apparently the Mexico VPN loophole is closed (looking at reddit), anyone tried ordering via South Africa?

Also, any news on Premium yet?

Finger's crossed the hero only exists in certain new game modes. What we don't want is a situation where the entire team is fighting over who is going to be the hero because the hero wins.
