Battlefield 1

Still can't connect to the EA servers ingame. Starting to get annoyed by the "Hey, you enjoyed the beta right? Buy the full game now!" pop up when I quit the demo after giving up on trying to connect. I hope the game sucks so I'm not missing out on anything.

Despite being based on WWI, this game manages to be the exact same as every BF game before it, you run for a minute, then get shot by someone about a mile away that you couldn't see. I managed to spawn without weapons on one server, which was cool considering that DICE has now put out 5 or 6 battlefield games on this engine.

Oh what the fuck, if you set "Resolution Scale" to 100%, it renders at 2x your actual resolution. I can't tell, but 0% seems like it's below 0.5x. That's not how percentages fucking work

EDIT: also why the fuck does it take 30 seconds to close after pressing alt-f4?

Can't agree more with that.

We can feel that they've have been through Battlefront, the iterface is pretty much the same, the game is much more casual (which is not especially a bad thing, it's suits my well as i'm a bad player). People said that vehicle where only available from the selection map but nope, it's bullshit, you can find the vehicle on the map just like before (beside the planes). Btw, the interface to select vehicles is way clearer to me like this. Plus you can only select to spawn in vehicle on certain points so I felt like there would be much more tactic to control specific points to allow your team to use the vechicles or at least to have an advantage.

Honestly, I played 2 hours, I like it and I'll probably buy it in the first few days of its release. The old weapons feelings are so gooooooood :3 Plus the graphics are amazing, I'm running the game in ultra at 80FPS in mean with my gtx 1060.

Sure, it's supposed to be frantic and hectic but right now it's so so random who happens to see who's back first etc, there's no structure. I'll agree to disagree.

Bug in the UI, default is 42 which is 100%

Definitely in conquest mode, I'm getting shot across the map all the time from someone hiding on a sand dune.

I feel rush provides more of a head on combat, except for the last points where it becomes a snipe fest again. Hopefully the other maps will be a bit better

I could connect mid day but anything past 6pm was completely broken, spam the connect button enough and it connects you. But have fun trying to get into a server x(

give in to their terroristic demands already, I wanna play a videogame

Ok...pre-ordered.

@Pampers do you think if you were to start working on 2142's sequel the rest of the office will just follow suit? Herd mentality and all that

Was attacking the F point today from the direction of D. As I moved into the point and into that wooden shelter area I looked towards C to see some enemies approaching so I opened fire only to have a team mate literally on fire run over the hill screaming and spraying his gun as he was dying. Looked awesome

FINALLY got to play it (thank u for capitulating to terrists Pampers).

The game actually runs way nicer than I was expecting. At 1080, all graphics settings on low, it runs at 45-60 FPS on my i7 + gtx 550 system. Nice! It played kinda alright, I guess. Definitely need to get used to it, and also unlock shit, and also figure out the unlock system. So many things are locked behind "Three bar icon: 1" and there's no explanation of what that means. I guess it's a level requirement but I have no idea how much I need to do to get to one "three bars" icon. I'm currently at level 6, w/ one bar. Got vastly more war bonds than I can actually spend because so much is locked.

Tanks fuck up everybody if the tank driver knows what they're doing and isn't constantly adjusting position and throwing off gunner aim. The antitank grenades should maaybe come with more than 1 per person. I actually managed to disable an armored car with the "K Bullets" of the scout class, which felt awesome for three seconds until the driver got out and killed me, lol.

Only got to be in a plane once in four matches, and it was over very quickly. The view bounced around way too much to track things with the gun as the pilot tried to fly around crazily to avoid getting shot. Put 200 rounds into the sand, maybe 1 into another plane, and then we died. I wish it would auto-level to try to make the gunner view less puke inducing.

The revive indications for living medics is way too tiny and almost impossible to see. I barely found anyone to revive, as everyone quickly was taught to give up on trying to get revived and just mashed space bar, in a big ole negative feedback loop that made me give up on playing medic.

I know it's a desert and all, but dis bloom is ridic. Actually hurt my eyes in a couple instances, including some unpredictable moments when in a vehicle and the world suddenly lit up like an asteroid was hitting, taking ~20 seconds to fade back into visibility.

Got a game tonight but had to go through server browser (ps4) to do so, very impressed so far, graphically and audio-wise it's a big step up from battlefield 4, everything feels way more punchy and brutal. I love the little touches like running into doors and smashing through them as well. Only minor complaint I have is that the woman keeps calling the rush objectives apples and butter, that's going to get old really fast.

Am I blind or there is no option to stop the music ?

Light Tanks are OP as hell Just had a 25:0 match. I had plenty of fun, but i think the opponents didn't.

Also my buddy stole an abandoned tank of the other team and together we dominated the whole map on our own.

Edit:

No idea why i spent 2 hours doing this...
