I am not pleased with Battlefield 1

Weird, camping scouts never make it to the top of the scoreboard, neither do they come close to having the most kills :/

@R4gn4r0k: which makes it more infuriating when in every game the vast majority of people are snipers. They're annoying to get killed by and they're the least helpful class because people mostly just sit and camp in one spot

But people wanted bolt action rifles mostly in a WW1 game, so what's wrong with people taking that class ?

I get killed way more by shotguns, smgs, lmgs and self loading rifles than I do by sniper fire. I get killed way more from up close than I do from afar. (Except in Fao fortress where everyone snipes from the fortress and suez where everyone snipes from the village)

And when I play scout, I'm actually a huge help to my team. If you have a bayonet and a decent pistol, there is no way I'm staying in one spot for the rest of the game.

I've got quite a few complaints about the game myself. It's still buggy. BF games usually are, but I've seen more bugs in BF1 than I can remember from BFBC2 and BF3.

Also, the menu is 100% reta****. It's probably the worst game menu I've ever seen in my life. Not even exaggerrating here. Why the **** can I not equip shit for my soldier in the menu? Why the **** doesn't "cancel" work when searching for games? Why the **** is the fucking menu bugged even? Sometimes things don't work to click on and stuff don't get shown. Same for my friends, so it's not just for me. I had a "conquest quickplay" button before, but now it's gone. The menu is just fucking weird and confusing.

@R4gn4r0k: good for you, you're not most people. Most people sit and hide in one spot. It doesn't help that they took all the skill out of sniping by making them automatic one shot kills from certain distances. Sniper class is OP as **** and takes little skill anymore and they encourage you to just sit far away and snipe instead of helping your team

I like the campaign

Yeah but all classes are whack if not used properly

most medics don't give heal packs and run past you when you are downed

most supports don't give ammo packs

most people when downed don't even wait 2 seconds for a medic that is very close by to let them revive them, screwing over the whole team in the process

If people want to play totally egoistic, that's their choice. I find a lot of fun in having this medic, who is just some random person I don't know, risk his life for me, in order to revive me :)

@R4gn4r0k: except none of the classes are overpowered like the sniper class except maybe the medic. They need some major balancing

I'm loving the game (scale, setting, vehicles, weapons, etc), but i agree that it feels too fast. Pacing is one of many reasons i hate CoD games.

I flipping love this game. The 'Operations' play mode is by far my most favourite. Only the weaponry let it down just slightly. There needs to be a mode where you can't play with the auto-loading rifles. A mode with just bolt actions would be very interesting as although these auto-loading weapons are authentic (for the most part) 99.9% of all infantry in WW1 used bolt action rifles. It's just a thought.

Medic has the same change to take out a support in mid range, it all comes down to who lands the most bullets.

Close range assault will always win, long range sniper will always win.

Maybe hardcore mode will make people play a bit more tactical ?

I've been saying the same for a long time.

Operations mode combined with only bolt action (none scoped) rifles for every class would be a lot of fun !

except the medic has a gun that dominates everything at medium to long range and the sniper one hit kills anything on long range. those classes aren't fun to go up against and there is a reason most people play medic and sniper. they have the best guns by a country fucking mile.

That's simply not true.

You take a medic rifle that is good at long range, you will lose against weapons good at mid range, like support or other medic rifles. You will lose against assault too.
You take a medic rifle that is good at mid range, you will lose against weapons good at long range, and snipers

There is no end all be all weapon for medic like you put it.

Same with scout. Only headshots are instakill, and frankly they should be, they require skill.
If you don't go for headshots you need torso shots and you need the right rifle, which again comes with disadavantages at other ranges.

Sorry, but I'm not seeing these matches dominated by Medic and Scout classes :/

the medic gun with the sniper sight and 26 round clips 3 hit kills anyone at almost any range. that gun is OP is ****. For scouts most rifles are 1 hit kills anywhere on the player at 70-100m. Its not just headshots.

I personally hate the selbstlader and almost never use it.

The medic weapons I use the most are the auto loader, mondragon and cei-rigotti. All with iron sights.

This is a handy video to show you which sniper rifle fits you the best:

This is the first Battlefield game I've played since 3 and I really like it so far. I'm usually very very high when I'm playing, so sorry guys if I end up on your team im usually near the bottom of the scoreboard. However I am not one of these 'spawn as soon as you die' players, I often get help from medics. I did find it a bit odd when I watched a buddy die whilst I was reloading only for him to spawn right next to me a second later. Took the immersion away until I pretended it was his ghost. Also I m sure I've been killed by people who have shot through buildings or something. Maybe some kind of cheating going on? Tanks are also a pain as they seem to kill me no matter where I am. My single player is also broken, I have reached a door I can't get through. Who knows, maybe that's just me not knowing what to do.

That's pretty much muppets who haven't learned how rank the classes up yet. A medic who doesn't heal and drop health or a support who doesn't spit out ammo packs and repair vehicles will be level 0 for a very long time.

Good, good.

In fact class rank up should only be dependant on team actions (giving heal, reviving, giving ammo, spotting, repairing). So people that don't do teamwork should stay at level 0 forever.

I agree with the bullet drop thing and don't care about the rest. I just join a server and start shooting, don't give much thought on balance and all that.

Yeah, it's missing a lot of options that should be there. Pretty sure that's because EA rushed them out the door, and they were unable to polish or finish a lot of that stuff. They'll fix it in time, but yeah, not being able to customize your soldier and vehicles out of game is annoying. You also can't customize your vehicles unless you manage to click on one during a game in the spawn screen. That's just stupid.

I'm going to wait till its on EA access.

Not fond of the one man mortar teams and magical planes.

Also reusing the previous games art style of orange and blue everything, aside from the grass.

It will be a while before I consider buying this anyway.

Games great. However I do sometimes get weird graphical glitches when the game loads out of the menu sometimes. I will move around the map and my graphics produce crazy black images that sometimes take over the entire screen flickering. Yet when the next map loads the graphical problems go away. Also sometimes the train/airship will explode and I'll be left with this blinding light that takes over the area where it exploded preventing me from seeing anything and can also be seen from the top down spawn map.

I do believe that snipers need bigger bullet drop or a damage nerf as right now you just have to line up the crosshairs on someone that might be 400 yards away to hit them.

If you want to take your time customizing your soldier and vehicle/vehicle class I suggest joining an empty server.

Is that worse than being able to customize in the main menu ? Well, not to me because loading a map takes around 30 seconds. Which is really awesome :)

Hmm that's funny. The first few sniper shots I made I was surprised by how much bullet drop there was. I can somewhat regularly hit targets moving at a consistent speed. But if they start having a dancing competition I move on to another target :P The bullets have quite some travel time... At the point you get the Marksman bonus to kills, it feels like three quarters of a second of travel time or so.

Anyway if we are here to complain about the game; I'm really enjoying it. I love some of the changes they made. If there is one thing for me to complain about it is the U.I.:
Resolution scale is 4k at 100% and thus 1080p at 42%, which is in no way shape or form made clear to the user.
You can't customize loadouts in the menu's. You can do it in the app, but why not when you launch Battlefield 1? You have to go into a match and have a free slot available to be able to customize that load out. The game does not communicate at all that you can customize vehicle load outs.
When a game ends and you want to quit you only have a few seconds to do so, or you are stuck loading the next game fully before you can quit. Except when you open a battlepack, because after that the quit button magically reappears... Huh?
And you cannot easily check the weekly medal progress unless you, again, load into a match. When you are changing load outs it tends to snap out of the weapon selection so that it becomes quite annoying to compare weapons or read the descriptions.
You can't easily switch the medal you have active during a match. AFAIK you need to press ESC and then medals to pick one to track. If you have several medals that only work when in a tank and such, you can end up switching a lot during a match and it feels weird. It would be nice if you could just cycle through them more directly. (Can you?) And some servers haven't been updated and are still running last week's medals... So if you are really trying to get one of this week, you have to get lucky to end up on a server that has this week's medals.

These things are relatively(!) easy to fix, but they are damn annoying to me.

It's true. It does load incredibly fast, but still kind of stupid that you can't customize vehicles unless one is available to spawn in. :P

So, while you're sitting there customizing your vehicle, someone may have already spawned in it. One time, I spawned on one after customizing, and it let me spawn on it, but without the vehicle. So, not only was I left at spawn without a vehicle, but I had the tank driver kit, which is near useless in combat. Lol

Keep in mind that the tanks are often housing 3-5 players, plus the tanks are much more rare than in previous BF's. I don't think you are meant to destroy a tank on your own... but it is possible if you're lucky. They are probably balanced in such a way that it should take multiple assaults at least... and it does right now because of all the headless chickens... Once people get a hang of it, tanks may even be a little too weak for the imposing presence they are supposed to have. I like that for the first time in a BF game (at least that I can remember) a tank can create an 'oh ****' moment by driving to a point.

In BF3 and 4 for example the tanks would dance on hills as far away as possible because if you got anywhere close to infantry you'd explode within a second.

It's not ideal, but it gets the job done. Me and my mate often spawn in an empty server to try out stuff :P

And you spawning as the tank class was a bug, not because someone took your tank, haha

It's a bug that occurs very often, especially at the start of the round: cavalry class spawning without their horse, pilots spawning in mid air without their plane, resulting in falling to their deaths.

It's a really annoying bug that I'd hoped be fixed after the beta. But they didn't fix it.

well, my opinion of this game is really not improving with time. Honestly, I think this is less enjoyable than BF3/4.

It seems much more infantry focused, but the infantry combat is not that great. Vehicles seem kinda clunky and shallow compared to past games. The cheesy bullshit of lockon weapons and flares has been replaced with the cheesy bullshit of snipers hiding on rocks and guys hiding in corners.

honestly, I think i'd rather play Verdun. Janky as **** but at last it feels like a real WW 1 shooter and has a soul. This feels like a inspired idea ruined by board meetings with EA execs. I reckon if a WW 1 vet saw this shit he'd lose even more faith in humanity. Probably for the best there aren't any alive anymore.

That's what my argument originally was--that it's a buggy ass game. :P

I'm enjoying it more than BF4(and I love BF4) now that I've gotten the hang of everything. The game is definitely harder on newer players than BF3 and 4 were.

@jhonMalcovich: Sucks to be you. I had fun with it. Although I don't play the mp because halo 5/gears 4 have all my time for that.

I LOLd at wanting historical accuracy with speed of tanks (were too fast) but don't want a Calvary soldier amid regular battles. They were there its been verified

TC you didn't play the game good, the animation is top notch and the graphics are amazing.

Weapons are NOT the same, every weapon is a totaly different play style.

Rag dolls are amazing man. Go figure.. I think you missed all the gives popping up on the internet of rag dolls.

Sniping from far is perfect, no problems here with it. (bullet drop is perfect)

Tanks are moving pretty fast ok and the horse is like a tank itself but besides that you are all wrong.

What is wrong with this forum? Why are so many people trying to be different and special?

The comment about sniping is interesting. I'm a self-confessed terrible FPS player, at least when it comes to online multiplayer. And yet, I've found myself gravitating towards sniping in BF1 because it's so satisfying. The bullet drop mechanic has been interesting to work with, and so long as you lead your shot appropriately...all seems fine. I haven't really had a scenario where I expected to hit someone and didn't (if I didn't, it was because I mis-judged the timing or bullet drop...or if my enemy did some weird about-turn or something I wasn't expecting).

I'm really loving BF1, but I'm not an experienced BF player...so I can't comment from that perspective. I think the graphics are quite incredible, and I really like the Calvary, haha. Interestingly, I think they nailed the horse-riding mechanics, and that's a very difficult thing to do from a game design perspective. It just feels so good from a player's perspective. But I'd say the same is true for the mechanics in the game across the board.

As for tank movement, I think it probably depends on which exact vehicle you choose - they all handle differently and are appropriate for different scenarios. I might have more problem with tank movement if they were invincible, but they are far from invincible. To a degree, I think there is a balance to strike between movement speed and vulnerability, and I'd say the developers pretty much nailed that too.

I am vey displeased With Battlefield 1 especially Sniping. For 1 camping is allowed and is something i care. They are snipers you meant to camp. One thing Infinite Warfare has going for it is the 1 shot sniping with a 2 shot when you shoot the legs or Arms. With Battlefield you need a head shot, no matter what, you can kill people in one shot unles you are point blank range. Now that is stupid. It should be 1 shot kill in body and head just like Cod, it piss. I know its not meant to be realistic but im pretty sure it is meant to. Balancing is in place, but why balance sniping when they are meant to be OP in the first place. It makes smart thinking when you are assault.

Another is the armour Peircing rounds. On an enemy it has no effect and no one hit kill when it should, or a tank it does work but only 9 health so is useless, and with the plane does 2-3 more damge than a normal bullet. Now that is stupid. I liked BF4 because it was at least more realistic. This when they tried to be realistic made it worse. Infinite Warfare is starting to be the Better game. Actually scratch that is the better Game.

Something else is off topic. Loading takes for ever. There is only 6 servers (1 frontlines, 1 domination the rest conquest) but are all full so i need to queue which adds to the 1-4 minute loading times to join. Truing to load the Options in game takes 1 minute as well. Quiting a game after match takes another 1 minute+. Another is Iperations. Takes 10 minutes to find people and join a match. With all this loading. IW takes 4-10 seconds to find a match, 10minutes for a round and then 1 second to quit after. I can play 2 whole TDM matches on IW before i even find a Operations match. And half a match to join a Conquest match.

I only bothered to play the SP so far and I liked it for that and that alone, picked up the Deluxe Edition along with Titanfall 2 Deluxe Edition for like $59 for both so I feel I got my money's worth all around, Titanfall 2 especially since it's maybe got some of the best MP I played in years.

Anyhow, just got my new soundbar the other week, just played BF1 the other day to give the sound a whirl, man does BF1 sound impressive on it. Overall, a technical achievement on the graphical front too.

Wait this thread is months old.

Actually, after 100 hours of play, my Battlefield 1 impressions changed drastically LOL I actually like it now pretty much. My only complaint now is Operations map variety is VERY small and goes stale pretty fast. I am playing mostly conquest mode now, where map variety is considerably better. Anyway I will be getting DLCs, as maps count is still short for 100 plus hours of gameplay. My only concern is that greedy EA will charge a premimum price now for every 4 new maps that will come with a DLC. It will suck for early adapters as I have no patience to wait for when they drop the price for an all-included bundle.

I wasnt too crazy about BF3 and 4, mostly because of the average at best maps. BF 1 was better from what i played.

It's weird because I like conquest in most Battlefields but here it just feels aimless: just way too much running around from objective to objective, not really facing many real war or fun encounters.

But I love operations in this game, it's the game's shining game mode and a great addition to the series; Playing as both defenders and attackers is hectic, but a lot of fun !

The only downside to operations is inherent to its design: some maps get played way more than other maps... I think operations is a mode that could be improved upon. For example make it so the second maps get played first (which wouldn't make any narrative sense). Or have a stopwatch mode where one team sets a time on the map by finishing it within their given reinforcements... And then teams switch and the defending team that is attackers now has to beat the time set.

I also really love playing dominations, it's a lot more infantry focussed and smaller than conquest.

I hope they go ahead with the premium friends model so more people get to play on the maps. Seriously the maps and setting (based on true events) is the most interesting part of the game !!!
