*** Battlefield 1 ***

Lads...... Thank you!

Bought it, played it..... AND GOD DAMN LOVE IT!

Everything about it is brilliant, visuals, gameplay, hit reg, server stability, sounds, music... WOW! Happy shopper here. No intentions of sending it back.

Also need some buddies... Anybody wanna throw at add on orgin my way? Thegoon84.

I need to work out now how the whole things works, unlock wise, whats decent whats not. Been smashing the Assault on TDM, feels like one of the first mp versions of COD ww2.

I hate to say it but nexus was right lol after putting in just over 30hrs I'm finding it a bit boring,its no way the best battlefield in years! bf4 was MUCH MUCH better, bf1 is waaaay to fast and its no longer a skilful based shooter, its now a full on reflex twitch shooter to the mass degree!

if anything it reminds me of a mix between the old cod games and battlefront,yeah production is high on it theres no doubt about that and it can be fun for a quick blast but I just cant spend hrs on it like I could the previous battlefields.

its good for a quick blast and has amazing graphics but a skilful shooter its not, my score now for it would be an average 7/10 :)

I hear you - let me point you to my last thoughts on the game, which were remarkably similar to yours at the 30-35 hour mark:

I am kind of horrified at the PC numbers tbh. Compare to BF4 which consistently matched (and often exceeded) PS4 numbers for peak and players online. I enjoy the game but don't feel it has anywhere near the tactical depth of BF3/4 (sorry, didn't ever play BF2) in terms of map design, vehicular combat, or play-style. I still enjoy the game though, no doubt about that, but certainly considering Titanfall 2 and was even thinking about re-installing BF4 (although less tempted with that given the number of hours I have already played it).

I agree, will be interesting how this bodes for the franchise in general i.e. way more console focus and taking the COD-mantle completely meaning even lower-common denominator game mechanics compared to the previous entries in the franchise.

Now nearing the 80 hour mark, I have to say the game is keeping me coming back in spite of my initial impressions. The skill-base has gone way up since the early weeks and that old BF feeling of pushing a point, employing sneaky flanking strategies, and total squad co-ordination (when the stars align on a public server that is) are back. Also appreciating a lot more how the scoring system is re-aligned to encourage playing the objective, and yes there are still things I have issues with: frequently unbalanced games, worse performance post-patch and so on.

That's good to know! I was so fed up with the direction BF4 went, BF3 Alpha was superb, but then it broke. I have actually been playing BF2 Revive for months, coming on to BF1 has left me gobsmacked. Its like they've actually listen to the community.

As for the vehicles, since BF2 I've literally despised what they did so stick to inf only. So BF1 is everything I want.

Sorry for the previous hate toward this game... So glad I have a game to smash over the holiday.

There's a few of us on Josh's Discord in the evening, but we mostly play conquest and and the odd operations.

If you like infantry only, be wary of the fog of war game mode at the moment as there's a glitch which will allow people to use any weapon they want on what is effectively a pistol only server..
 
It's getting tedious as a whole now, 4h grinding for an increase of 1000 if your lucky.

Meh - it's like when a new DLC dropped on BF4, people were all over it for a week then went back to vanilla maps.

Need to grind **** bucket on BF1 instead.

No surprise there! :D :p ;)

As I said in another thread, hats of to anyone that can manage to get to **** bucket, no matter how much I tried, I just couldn't do that for hardline or battlefront :(
 
Is there some sneaky method for spawning on vehicles before anyone else ?

Every time I try and get a bomber plane for myself and two mates to pilot some randoms have spawned in the gunner seats before the ability to spawn is even available to my mates. I will fly fully off the screen so you can't even see the plane on the map and some people are still managing to spawn on it.

How is this possible ? Is there some sneaky tactic we don't know about ?

It's not a fair system and it depends on several things AFAIK:

1) The arbitrary counter your client counts down from before the start of the round.*
2) How quickly your game loads from disk once the counter has reached 0
3) Latency between you and the server
4) How quickly you can hit the target with your mouse and then click deploy.

* In the beta, the differences between the arbitrary counter values people were given before the start of the round were massive. If yours was low, you could grab a tank and get to the first flag and nearly cap it before some other client's counters had reached zero :eek:

It's also possible that DICE have implemented a subtle anti-tank/plane/horse whore system whereby people who always try to take one of these assets may be punished with a longer start timer. It's also possible they've done the opposite and the higher rank players get lower counter values, but I have no proof of either.

The spawn systems for tanks and the artillery truck seems broken to say the least. You can click on a tank and it'll say you have it, yet still spawn as regular infantry. Some maps like st quentin scar on the A and F flags if the terrain has taken a hammering a lot of the time you'll try to spawn in a tank and it'll spawn you as the tank class but no vehicle.

As for getting it fast, just seems to be luck of the draw.

"Battlefield 2 - the PWNED life" is pretty good as well :p The parachuting bit around the 7:50 mark with the dumb guys scream is great.
