*** Battlefield 1 ***

Does anyone else feel there's sometimes just TOO much going on like a visual overload? You've weather smoke and gas effects, explosion effects all clashing together and sometimes its just one big visual cluster****.
 
Few Questions:

1) Does this run well @ 1440p on a 290x / 2x 290x?
2) Does this play like 'most' BF games? I played a small amount of the beta. I have previously played and enjoyed BF3, BF4 (hardline but only in beta).
3) Where is the best place to grab this? Worth waiting a week for Black Friday deals?
 
I have to admit this is the first BF game where I am struggling to see people.

I find the guns not very good, but overall the game is fun to play. Some of the maps are better than other and the game can be quite epic at times.

It's solid and doesn't deserve the over criticism it does some times get.

We need more maps tho so the first DLC cant come soon enough. And ideally some new weapons.

it should play quite well at 1440p as overall it has good performance but you can/do get fps drops since the latest patch (I do anyway lol) but it dosnt run well in sli so use a single gpu

it plays NOTHING like other battlefields really imo, its a lot faster, its more of a twitch shooter now

not sure where you would get it cheapest but most the black Friday deals have started already on origin, steam etc
 
as for for jack frogs being right no he isnt.also he was with friends stacked against retards.all on voice coms.

pretty much like the battlefield 4 thread used to be on here. people bragging how they used to pub stomp when up against casuals then think they were the best players ever.
used to make me chuckle that did.

That spawning with no vehicle glitch is really irritating. It seems to be if the ground directly underneath where it spawns has been deformed by an explosion you spawn as the character class with no vehicle. Happened to me twice in a row trying to spawn in the artillery truck on St Quentin scar on the F flag. :mad: Same with the A flag on the same map, if that area of ground is deformed in the trench area where the vehicles spawn chances are you spawn as the class looking like a spare one.

Really annoys me that one, and gives your team a real disadvantage at the beginning of the round when it happens.

Am I missing a trick with the artillery truck, was completely laying into with a load of other guys but we just couldn't get it down, I'm sure I even saw it blow up, I know I got a kill. But it litterally went from being a wreck to a brand new truck and just drove away.

Was it on it's spawn point? Is it possible the driver just respawned in another one?

I get the feeling it's supposed to be slightly disorientating, I've been using low for pro settings which helps a bit.

Erm some of our players were very good indeed. Good enough to get into Team GB. It wasn't just casuals who got stomped ;)
 
against public or normal games any reasonable player will win most games get 4 or 5 of you same team you obviously going to ruin even more. especially with voice coms.

to be fair there is some great players on here some are probably upto semi pro standards.

boasting/jesting though is more often meant as fun tbh. other than oh im the best.:D

some of us play together regular or speak to each other regular. so jibes and such posts to those who dont play in those groups may look at posts a different way or think hes having a go at another.in reality they just having a bit of fun.:p

would be nice if the game could filter to make games more balanced.just it never seems to work.
 
gg's overall last night. That's the first time I've seen operations starting on ballroom blitz get to the argon forest section, normally the defenders have it easy, but we smashed it so hard the defenders had the behemoth for the first round of Argon. Seeing as none of us had played that mode on that map before, it was really satisfying to manage to win it.

Only game we lost was the one we joined halfway through and swung it back from an all cap again. :)

Shame we didn't get to try war pigeons though.

I have to admit I wasn't a fan of operations but after playing it with you guys last night, it was the most fun I've had on the game since starting to play. I think I ended up with about 72000 points at the end of the operation after the 2.5 x multiplyer :p
 
Wondered why only a couple of people from here had added me, then spotted someone had changed my Origin name on the google doc to "gho" :( Fixed now, so feel free to add away :D

Hahaha! You're kidding right? Too much going on visually in a war-based FPS :D

Brilliant.

Haha, just looked on that doc, there is also some questionable names on there too! :D

If you read the post you'd know i'm referring to the visual effects of the weather, smoke, gas, fog, explosions etc. On some maps it just seems to grind things to a halt rather than help the gameplay along
 
Downgraded Graphics Fix

In order to improve the game's visuals, PC gamers can try a little simply guide made by cdub4784, it apparantly fixes the the downgraded look of Battlefield 1 (and should work).

Additionally, These steps can be taken to force the workaround

1- Open battlefield 1 in My Documents
2- Open Settings folder
3- Delete everything, EXCEPT PROFSAVE and PROSAVE_backup, these files is your campaign gameplay and has nothing to do.
4- Enter the game
5- set the quality to ultra, or whatever you had before


Additionally, Changing the settings to Auto prior to joining a server from the main menu, And then Joining a server with the settings on Auto and then changing to Ultra upon joining also can force the workaround

I did read the post and that's what i was laughing at.
Gas, smoke, fog, rain and explosions SHOULD slow you up. It should be shocking and immense to aid atmosphere and make gameplay more interesting.
Otherwise, what's the point in it really?

If anything, i think they should add more rain, make it real heavy and loud. Would be cool to have wind physics in there that through medium to long range off.
