The which server question seems to get asked every day. We just find a random server with space and a sensible ping, we don't have any usual haunts (except maybe a quick visit to the FNB servers on a Friday).

This game is at best tiresome on your own. It's easier to stat pad I guess as you are more likely to be able to team switch, but relying on blueberries is like relying on a handkerchief as a backup parachute. At least with the redcurrants you know they're out to kill you, but blueberries can ruin your team's chances within 2 mins of the start of a round and are often more dangerous.

I actually find when I join servers on my own, I always get put on the good side automatically even in the next rounds after teams have been balanced.
I still standby my comments of DICE balancing the teams based on platoons/friends/parties playing together i.e. put all the single good players together on one side and put the clan guys with the **** lonesome players..... as every game played with friends/platoon has literally just been down to us..... You just have to look at the point difference of all the players to see this especially our points compared to the rest of our team, massive difference (granted that will largely come down to squad bonuses but still even when we have a squad leader not giving out orders or working together, we still trump the team when it comes to points)
But yeah either way, BF isn't a game to be played by yourself.

You bought SWBF2 yet?
Nope
Plus just remembered the other reason I won't be touching it, no squad system at all, not even able to play with a friend/partner like in the first game! 
EDIT:
It really does me ******* laugh when Ea/DICE come out and say we have heard the player base and are changing the game based on the feedback, oh really?!
Well then how about:
- a proper squad system like in battlefield!
- no loot boxes at all!
- proper aircraft play, none of this hold your hand ******** telling you where to aim
- no stupid wallhack scan cards
- no heroes in certain game modes
And so on!

About star wars battlefront 2...... but that game will surely have a big impact on future battlefield titles so I'm glad to see I am not the only one concerned about this issue:
https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefiel...efront_iis_convoluted_progression_system_has/
I can just see it now, loot crates and cards/perks with things like:
- 10% extra explosive damage
- 50% less/more suppression
- 30% less damage from sniper rifles
- 20% more damage when ADS
- 20% quicker run speed
And so on 
Yup game is still pay to win ****:
I hope this game fails massively otherwise future games are going to take up this crap, which means the game industry, at least where online/semi-competitive shooters are concerned will be dead to me and I'm sure many others as well..... BF 1 could very well be my last EA/FPS purchase if this is how things will go.
Really am worried about the next BF game now if this pay to win system succeeds as you can be guaranteed BF will adopt it too.....
Have to laugh at x though, gives of about it yet he went and give $90 to the systemBut unfortunately this is the world we live in now, no one has any will power or principles, they just bend over and let companies go in dry.

Next time Wickes or Screwfix (I know owned by B&Q group) will be the best bets. Good luck getting that sorted though.
Not my kitchen
for a customer so will let them try sort it out.Star wars does look fun nexus just so many retarded things about it.. the squad system is proper **** too.
I thought it was terrible, first one way more fun and better.

Lol Star Wars plays like ****. It could be any generic sci-fi it’s a soulless piece of garbage. Add to that the game mechanics that they removed and it’s yet another step away from BF. Plus as above the worry is that garbage ends up in the next full BF game.
Just gonna put my input here I have tried to get on with bf1 and never had any fun with it compared to 3 and 4 I found this a step backwards in all areas.
I had fun even playing 3/4 solo may of been I was lucky and landed on right servers but bf1 solo I find horrible

Hazard0 must be cheating again dirty aimbot shotgun whore 
Why has this been posted out of the blue?
Someone has made a complaint.
The shop has every right to take this stance, as we are bearing their name and are therefore, even if unofficially, representing them. I have refuted the accusation as I believe it to be unfair and untrue. I am also concerned that this accusation has been leveled without any proof.
That said anyone who gets caught cheating will at very least be kicked from the platoon. The same goes for toxic behavior, specifically racist, sexist or homophobic language.
Who made the complaint?
And who is this "cheating" in reference to?
Please don't tell me that an official member of ocuk staff have accused one of us for cheating with no proof other than "he killed me 4 times in a row!!!!!".....
Or did someone actually contact the shop to say about ocuk guys cheating on bf 1? If so then LOL!!!!!!!Maybe us saying in chat that we shop at a competitor instead was a step too far......
I have to laugh at the toxic behaviour, racist etc. given that a don on here is extremely guilty of this in bf 4
Whilst none of us regulars make racist, homophobic etc. comments, they could probably consider our comments to be "toxic" but if people in game are going to rage, throw hackusations at us etc. are we not allowed to answer back and have some banter fun? If not, then no thanks, that is part of the fun in these games.Fair do's though, I will remove the ocuk tag as I want to play games "freely".
Maybe ocuk should look into trade marking "ocuk" if they are that concerned about it?
Also, ocuk shop have already acquired a reputation in the past for being racist in the uk (due to comments that the founder i.e. Spie made years ago.....) So any tarnished image they have is down to not the "community" but their own founder.
