When is the 50 rank increase dropping lads? its all i play for i love the grind it keeps me playing without it i have no real feeling to play once i max out.

What is the problem battlefield has always had a two year rotation? 1942, BF2 and 2142 you had to buy the expansions at a much bigger cost than premium ever was!

Not sure about 1942 or bf2, but there was 1 expansion for 2142 and it was £8

 

[Gerard]

1942 had 2 expansions i think, road to rome and secret weapons of ww2, bf2 had the spec ops expansion and several "booster packs" with new maps and factions.

Game is 50% off for veterans of other games...

Still showing as full price for me on Origin, although from reading around it may just be for consoles

Is there anyone who EA and DICE aren't trying to **** over at present? The game has been out for less than 1 month and already 50% off, what a great way to reward the core of the player base who purchased that game for full price at launch.

oh dear so no new maps til spring next year when we get 1 more!!! Oh dear Oh dear. back to bf4 then!

While BF4 does indeed have more maps how many are actually on the rotation of any server? Half a dozen if you’re lucky and generally no DLC maps either.

I got BF4 1 year after launch on Xbox One as I was still playing BF3 on 360 and rarely buy a console on launch. All DLC was already basically dead. BF3 was the same. DLC lasted a couple of months even though a lot of it was awesome. This is much better. Fleece the kids with unassuming parents credit cards and profit!

Still downloading this ******* update. Was going flatout but slowed right down and is now just bursting up and down.

Interested to hear any opinions on the Medic changes.

Sten looks, at least on paper, to have benefited the most with a horizontal recoil and bullet velocity change.

Yeah, I’ll report back on the sten by the weekend no doubt, since it was my favourite gun before the update

Cool thanks

Im working away so cant get my BF fix then a 17GB patch to download when I get home so probably Friday before I can have a bash

 

[TheBrooder]

Why has the patch gone from 10.4gb to 22.8gb?!

 

[Gerard]

Panzerstorm only has 7 tanks per side, could do with a few more each imo.

 

[Junglist]

Taking forever to download this....

Same for me.

 

[Gerard]

Same for me.

Been doing that for ages now, when i dloaded it earlier today it was the same thing, said 10 mins then upto over an hour then back to 10 mins, up and down constantly. Took about 45 mins overall.

 

[Junglist]

I find pausing and resume makes it speed up for a few extra seconds
