*** Battlefield 1 ***

Spent some time with the single player campaign, it's ok but nothing special.

I did get a bug where the tank refused to move and the camera seemed stuck to one spot. The only things that seemed to work were the weapons and all they did was fire, be it very slowly.

Restarting the game didn't seem to fix it

I think I've still got a couple of hours left of the trial if you're about tonight mate.

TBH I've been a little underwhelmed by the trial version so far.

The weapons all feel different again, and particularly the support weapons feel next to useless in a lot of circumstances. I need to find the LMG that suits me.
The light tank nerf isn't too harsh, although you need to be careful not to get stuck surrounded by assault class.

What really annoys me is that the battlefield career page isn't up and running yet (as it was in the beta) which means that you need to do all of your loadout and purchasing in game. If you want to customise your tank for instance, you need to get the tank at the start of the round and then mess about configuring it while you should have spawned and be capping flags.

There's something about the minimap that doesn't seem right either. I know you don't show up anymore when you fire (which I don't like), but I swear people I've spotted don't always show up either.

Operations mode seems fun though, it could be the go to game mode for BF1. Whether it's balanced however..

This happened to me too, and again in vehicles on mp from time to time :/

In sp i removed my 360 usb pad from the pc as i thought maybe that was interering as in the options i cant see anywhere to change key binds, just a picture of the controller!

So removed it and it was fine! But then did it again in mp too

And yea a turret on the first mission did it too, like 1 bullet for 5 seconds maybe

I didn't have a controller plugged in at first when it did it.

I did try this plug in a 360 controller to see if that would sort it and although it fixed the camera the movement and weapons were still bugged.

Also had it in multiplayer but it resolved its self with a restart.

On a side note I couldn't get the game to detect my joystick, it all lit up but all the key bind options were still all grey out. (It did the buggy tank thing before this was plugged in)
 
bf has never liked controllers or wheels in when playing. i often leave my wheel connected while playing and every now and then i just start looking at the sky. you cant change it without disconnecting the device either.

looking forward to jumping on wont be long onw :(:D
 
Is it me or is there no way to upgrade any weapons? I have loads of war bonds but not sure what the explosive sign is next to each upgrade.

I have also unlocked some battlepacks with new weapons but can't seem to equip those either. When opened I added them to the inventory but then they seem to have disappeared!!!!

Apart from people crying about snipers, has the gameplay improved from Beta? Also, what're the maps like?

Careers up and running yet? (why didn't they just keeping Battlelog ffs?!)

I will try to be on tonight, as long as I don't get pulled into a heist on GTA

Not really played MP enough to decide if I like it or not, from the 2 games I had last night the guns on the bomber are really OP. They can rip apart a fighter before the guns on the fighter can take the bomber down to 50% health and the front gun is amazing at taking out infantry.

Enjoyed it, is it perfect? God no, is it the best out of the latest 3 BF games? Nope. That said there is nothing else I can be bothered play and it's a good game so I'll sink time into it.

Out of all the comments from people who played the game so far this has had the biggest downer on me. BF3/4 were good I hoped this would be on par or better, why's it not as good? :(

Battlepacks are just skins not actual weapons I think

Weapon upgrade/additions wise, I think you need to rank up the class to unlock them (hence the number by the explosive sign which I'm guessing was Assault?)

The battlepacks only contain weapon skins. You can change your weapon loadout on the deploy screen when you are on a server*, and buy "unlocked" weapons there if you have the warbonds and the are unlocked.

*This was why I was ranting about battlefield.com career page which existed in the beta and allowed you to buy weapons without being in game and set your default loadouts for infantry and vehicle classes. We used to be able to do it in battlelog in BF3 and 4, we moaned about it during the beta until they enabled it, and now it's gone again. :mad:

I definitely got 2 packs with weapons in them

good point on the rank. will have a look at what rank per class I am as I know I am past what I needed to be in total rank.

Nope, they were weapon skins. There are no weapons in battlepacks.

The worst thing about the restriction above is you can only choose your vehicle loadout when you've got one of those vehicles to spawn on. E.g. I couldn't change my light tank load out until one was free to be spawned on

Also the BF1 Trial was so CPU heavy (got the odd stuttering on my 4670k but constant warning icons on the right hand side) I've had to fork out for a new Mobo/CPU/Memory setup as well, so games cost me quite a bit more than intended :(

Yup, not only can you not choose your loadout, you can't buy others until you're in game in the vehicle wasting your team's time. Hopefully the battlefield career page will be up this week.

Personally I prefer it over BF4 (because I am burnout on modern warfare), I find it to be on a par with BF3 , but dont like it as much as BF1942 (which is still my favourite purely because I love WW2 related stuff)

Indeed. However, I think the puzzle pieces do unlock legendary knives. That is effectively a skin though, as they have no advantage over the default knife.

37 minutes until release!
