*** Battlefield 1 ***

Please tell me why it's "casual" now and"dumbed" down.

People keep saying that without ever seeming to elaborate. I've played every battlefield game to death and this is more of the same in a different setting. What did I miss? you'd think previous battlefield games were operation flashpoint the way people keep spouting this noob dumbed down tripe :rolleyes:
 
Honestly, it's boring and feels to arcade-like from the way planes/tanks handle to the gunplay.

Bullet drop seems less pronounced.

The shotgun is laughable (Shooting a guy 5times almost point blank in the chest to kill)

and just the single map adds to this, now I know some things can be fixed but it still feels like it's trying to be another "progression arcade" shooter rather than a re-imagining of the battlefield we love
 
I've played a handful of hours and so-far I'm enjoying it. It does seem a lot faster paced and chaotic than BF3 & 4 but I'm wondering how much of that is down to the Sainai map's numerous and scattered flags, and the new scoring system which urges players to play the objectives rather than pitch a tent?

It'll be interesting to see how more linear three-flag maps play in comparison.

DICE have totally messed up with this map for the open beta

The Alpha map was amazing fun and showed the game off...but most didn't get to try it as was closed alpha.
Now when the open beta is on for MILLIONS they do this map and putting people off the game lol

Shocked they haven't released the Alpha map as a "Thank you" for like a couple of days before the end of the beta but on Twitter they even ruled that out!
 
Had the chance to play for another couple of hours yesterday.

I have to say the game is growing on me. Managed to get into a decent squad which helped.

Also played as support class which I enjoyed much more than the medic. The MG feels nicer than the rifle.

Players really aren't utilising any kind of anti-tank yet, which I feel is the main reason why tanks are OP. Managed to go 20-0 last night playing in the land ship without breaking a sweat.
 
I was a massive 1942, Vietnam and Bf2 fan, played 3 quite a bit but was not a patch on 1942 or Bf2, never played 4. I played a small bit of the SWBF demo, thought it was **** poor.

I played half an hour properly last night (after the server issues the previous evening prevented me) and must say I enjoyed it. If this map is the worst one then it looks good for other maps, I may pick it up post release from CDkeys or sum such as I think it's right up my street.

I will also play the revived Bf2 and Bf2142 (which for some reason I never played on original release).

Its definitely that yes. I went 44-1 yesterday in a tank, just to see how long I could go for. At no point did anyone use one of the cannons against me, at no point did anyone use the antitank rocket gun of the Assault class against me. Couple of people did try attacking me with a tank of their own but nobody thought to use the obvious antitank items (cannons and antitank rockets) which simply enabled me to go the whole match unopposed.

Conversely, I spent a few rounds specifically trying to destroy vehicles and tanks and ended up with one round where I destroyed 12 (got on the end of game scoreboard thing with that), using cannons and the antitank gun. Thats almost one a minute. They arent OP at all, its just that players arent countering them properly.

Lame OP bullet spounge hero pick ups

No need of specific class to rep anymore, the auto repair whilst flying and tanking is insulting. What happened to good old days of returning to airfields and landing.

The spawn system, it's as lame as I've ever seen, just helps players stay close to the fight ie doesn't punish for being killed.

Flying is stupidly arcade like, no optimum turning speed, can fly the biplanes like chuck Yeager, it's laughable the flying model.

Don't get me started on the red outline around soldiers through buildings so you see exactly where the run to so you can revenge spawn them.

Left click full mag dump for the win. Just hold away, no loss of accuracy, no increasing recoil.

I really could go on and on. This isn't battlefield, this is a console experience now for the care bears
 
Any further info about Dice giving us another map? Sure I read on here that we were getting another one today.
 
I like the game although they need to make sniping more like bf4 with bullet drop, it's far too easy over distance. Add the fact that the pistol is as deadly as any weapon over short distance makes the class OP. I've started using the pistol in CQ with every class other than assault with more success. The heroes need to be reduced to one a map, if any. It's obvious that they are OP deliberately and can ruin the balance
 
How long is the Beta running for? I couldn't play when they were DDoS'd, i was out for birthday dinner last night, getting wasted tonight so hopefully tomorrow sometime if it's still up.
 
I've seen the 8th mentioned a few times, not sure how official that is though.

IMO, they need to extend it by a day due to the DDoS attacks and they need to add St Quentins Scar as that map is 100 times better than this one.

I've played all the Battlefields (bar Vietnam) and I'm loving this game. Just sayin!

I've been getting this every now and then too, frames don't seem to be dropping, picture frozen but sound keeps going :confused:

Yes mine is the same, freezing for a few seconds but sound carries on normally, seems to play ok when it is running otherwise, although I have had to put the graphics on minimum with my i5-2500k and GTX 580
