Battlefield 1

[PoeticWhisper]

 

Heard they plan on doing Vehicle skins soon. Faction "camo's" seem like a good enough idea as well.

 

I finally got another puzzle piece for the sawtooth blade. FINALLY. I'm pretty happy aboot that.

Last question, where do you get the puzzle pieces ? Battlepacks right ? I opened a battlepack and it said i had a puzzle piece

 

 

You do indeed. Once you get, I think 6 (or maybe 4) pieces per melee weapon you unlock said weapon to use. I have 2 pieces for the Sawtooth Knife and I have 1 piece for the Bartek Bludgeon.

I got this as an early Christmas present and played through the campaign (I'm not a multiplayer guy, just not my cup of tea) and really loved it. Even though it's not a completely accurate portrayal of what WWI was like (too many automatic weapons, not enough trench warfare), that was really to be expected, and they generally nailed the atmosphere and feel, and it's so cool how many obscure weapons from the time they dug up. I also really loved the aspect of having a bunch of different mini-campaigns exploring different viewpoints of the war that you can play through in any order you like, all with solid stories attached that mostly carry genuine emotional weight (and they even changed things up some with the fun and pulpy "Friends in High Places"). I also loved just how varied it was - there's shooting, tank driving, aerial battles (oh my GOD those were awesome), and even stealth.

 

My only real gripe is that there's just not enough of it. They really could have beefed up the campaign considerably by adding War Stories for more Allied factions like the French (duh) and Russians, and maybe even the Central Powers. I guess most people would think it's kinda weird playing as the Germans after years and years of them being the evil bad guys, but it'd go a long way to show that this was no purely black/white conflict and that WWI was a seething, bloody hell for everyone involved. Also I really would have liked to see more of the Harlem Hellfighters - one of them narrates the game and is even on the cover and all the advertising, but you only see them in the brief prologue. I dunno, I just thought it was weird. But overall, the fact that I was wanting more really says a lot about how good what I did get is.

 

Also, I think it's kinda funny how times have changed. Years ago everybody was sick to death of WWII shooters (and in all fairness, they did become over-saturated), but nowadays, this game set in the very similar WWI feels like a breath of fresh air.

The free map Giant's Shadow will be releasing to everyone along with a very large patch addressing loads of issues and nerfs/buffs. Along with the much anticipated Spectator Mode. With loads of cinematic tools for cinematics, obviously. Which is also coming to consoles!

 

Also included is the gamemode called Standard Issue Rifles, (I think) where it's basically the base game of conquest, but you can only use your countries primary standard issue rifle. So you can play Medic, Assault, Support or Recon but if you're British you can only use the SMLE MKIII. And there's no optics. Seems pretty sweet.

Other than that, there's general fixes, like the quit button not working, and other performance issues. Also adds the grenade crossbow for Support, there's a frag one and a HE one for vehicles. Vehicle skins are also supposed to be coming soon.

Model 10-A Hunter and Factory are getting range nerfs, LMG's are getting their first shot recoil reduced along with spread I believe. Mortars are getting a slight accuracy buff, the Martini Henry is getting fixed (it wont randomly 1 shot kill now unless it's a headshot or it's center mass in the "sweet spot".) Some guns are getting slower to faster reloads, and some recoil nerfs.

Server's are supposed to be down for about an hour starting at 4AM PST, to allow the update to flood out.

Also if you have the harlem hellfighters pack you're eligible for the map tomorrow, or if you have premium. Otherwise you need to wait until the 20th. The map won't be part of the vanilla rotation tomorrow since not everyone will have it, but they said it "most likely" will be next Tuesday.

Edit: the update is cool

I feel like every gun in the scout class was nerfed

Was just the Martini-Henry. And the only thing they fixed was a glitch which caused leg and arm shots to be a 1 hit kill. I was doing work earlier with the Gewehr 95 on Operations.

 

 

Awesome article of the "They Shall Not Pass" DLC coming out in March, with some really nice concept art of the maps. They looks really f*cking cool.

Indeed. The first DLC "They Shall Not Pass" is a DLC based solely around the French Army.

I tuned into bf1 to see the new map and right when i got a game going, ea shut down its servers. So im not sure how long it'll be down but did you guys get to play it yet ? How are you liking it so far

battlefield 1 was my first battlefield game since 1943 and it kicks ass.

 

i play almost exclusively as the infantry. i've been playing with the model 10 factory and it is a room clearer.

I've been playing it since last week. It's a good map, it's just there is a serious lack of cover between B and C & D which is in the crashed airship. That's where pretty much all the fighting takes place, and not to mention the airship crash is on a hill. So there is snipers galore. I like the way it looks a lot, and at A & B and E & F the fighting is very St. Quentin Scar-ish. But the lack of cover between those flags and C & D kinda sucks. I find myself having trouble doing good on it, despite a stellar tank game I had on there yesterday.

[ShadowPerson]

This new DLC will be quite interesting. As well show us in a certain way how brutal and destructive was WWI.

[Oldsport]

I havent played much on the new map, i think they should add it to operations for the kaiserchacht since its in the same area. I wished this game server system was fixed already , i know theres people out there playing service rifle only but i cant find any!

 

I was also playing operations just now and god damn this game in particular was sooo goood! I was the commander of the squad and for once my squad actually followed my orders. For the last 2 american battalians during ballroom blitz , they had a zepellin and i didnt want to bother with it so i just told my team to protect and defend the ball room aka point C. We held it down , but it got sooo intense. Best round of ops i think ill ever play

[Oldsport]

I think i may have to put this game down for a while, its the lack of hardcore mode in operations. Hardcore mode doesnt feel like hardcore mode anymore. I was playing conquest hc and i was landing some good upoer body shots that shouldve been one shot kills but instead it isnt. It makes me mad when im aiming some guy down and hit him but he doesnt die and just runs away with the quickness.

[esmittystud101]

Hardcore mode.........I shoot more of my own team then I do the other team. It takes way too long to tell if it's your team or the other when looking at a player.

 

I gave up on it.

Just know the uniforms , austria-hungary/germany are grey , us/uk/italy are shades of green, turks are whitish beige. Its easy

Any discounts for Battlefied 1?

 

Don't want to spend so much money for now...

Bought it and lovin it. Finally a game that takes advantage of the ps4 pro 1080p mode.Best looking game i've played so far, sp and mp. Also introducing FOV to consoles ( I know gta v has it but never seen it before elsewhere)Made me loving playing online again. At first i thought is this cheating? Why i run so fast and see enemies quicker then i realized what this feature was. Went back to normal view and everything felt slow af. So far everthing runs smooth. No lag,no long loading times no server/lobby problems just great.

 

I'm looking forward to play the sp and find out how they bring the Great war on screen.

 

I hope other developers taking notes from features like FOV because the experience is a lot more fun.

 

Besides that, the sound is as always fantastic and the balance is good. Ofc i bought it after the patches but still.

 

There's one thing that bothering me a little and that's the controller layout. Throwing grenades must be done with L1 instead of R1. Melee doesn't work for me because of the stabbing and long animation. I prefer direct kill. I wish there was a way for removing the r3 hold button(for holding your melee weapon) Because when i stab somebody(idk if people having this problen) i accidentally hold the r3 button and loose the fight.

 

I think Dice did a fantastic job with the whole package. I'm curious what's Activisio's answer is with their next COD.

There's a button layout I think it's called veteran which makes it so you use R3 to crouch/go prone and "O" becomes you're Melee button. I use it, and honestly it's a lot better. I've never liked "O" as the crouch button in Battlefield cause I have always been used to R3.

It's better but i still getting killed because of loosing time. I found a solution what works for me: i switched R3 with right d pad via the button layout from the ps4 itself. Right d pad is used for second gadget, what i don't need anyway and melee is uselesss for me. It's not perfect but it solved my problem.

I don't know man, those second gadgets are handy. The Rocket Gun and AT Grenades in Assault, Med Bag and Syringe in Medic, Ammo and Mortars in Support and Spot Flare and Trench Periscope for Scout. I'd be lost without em.

[Dutch Psycho]

^ It's better than losing fights because of that button. I play mostly with assault and the rocket gun is enough for me. That's 3 weapons plus my grenades.

Get away of my landship, infidel

[Professional Amateur]

Get away of my landship, infidel

What about field guns?

 

Speaking of landships, though. Just had a beautiful moment where some bloke jumped out of an attack plane and landed on the top of my landship. I'll take that easy kill, thanks. Best part was that his gamertag was 'He4dsUP', or something like that.

[Murdick]

Wish I had a pound for every time I walked around a corner and got ambused by a bunch of campers. Its funny when they dont move tho and you go back a second time and blow the lot of em up.

The landship with the Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr its simply so fun. Snipe individuals, damaging seriously plane and striking distracted vehicles, what else you want?

[Switch]

Please play the objective. That's all i had to say this time.

[Oldsport]

This game is getting boring, i love it to death tho. Line of sight was a good custom game, but eye to eye and this blind delivery are kinda dumb tbh not even fun. Im pissed i havent gotten a standard issue rifle match going also, why dont they make that a custom game mode if anything

its the triple A game curse. If you dont add content as soon as possible the game will slowly lost people. Remember Titanlfall.

[Switch]

Just wait for the new maps to come out, then the game will feel fresh again. I'm not bored of it yet tbh, i dont play it everyday so im not burned out, it just needs more weapons and maps soon.
