Battlefield Franchise Megathread V2 - 'The Future of Warfare Is in the Past' Edition - Games

If I preorder before release, will I be able to refund at release?

Which setting affects shadows?

I keep getting disconnected a few minutes after I join every match :saddowns:

I think this is the game that fried my GTX 670; you lasted so long my friend finally time to upgrade

Yeah, so I played Battlefield 2142 on that Revive project. Had better memories of it, is the most I can say about how fast I uninstalled it.

Operations is the best game mode and it's so cinematic. I'm probably just going to play that when the game comes out. Perhaps War Pigeon as well.

Going for the 100 M1911 kills made me hit exactly 300 hours and Rank 111 on my last map which is pretty neat. It's the Battlefield I played most so I guess looking back it was pretty okay. Question about new Origin: When I Shift+F1 ingame nothing pops up. The overlay appears and I can mouse around it and click friends when they log on to chat with them but I don't see a friends list anywhere.

Well, used up my 10 hours in the trial. Tuesday feels so far away.

so is there preset weapon variants like the beta or can you fully customise them now?

[QUOTE=krail9;51204386]so is there preset weapon variants like the beta or can you fully customise them now?[/QUOTE] attachments are preset, but you can change the skin/optics (kinda) and recoil direction/magnification.

Do I have to redownload to preload?

[QUOTE=Zeos;51204635]Do I have to redownload to preload?[/QUOTE] the trial is the entire game so no, once you have the trial, it will just idle till launch.

I wonder if they'll have a patch for the official release.

fffFFFUUUCK ITS SO GOOD. its like a much much MUCH better BF4.

[QUOTE=sa2fan;51205134]I wonder if they'll have a patch for the official release.[/QUOTE] While I wouldn't be surprised if they end up with a day one patch, from what I've played it seems pretty bug free, aside from funny things: ex. I got the tie fighter death scream as I got launched to the moon from a boat.

Well, I do know that there's a glitch wheere occasionally you get "stuck" when trying to use emplacements or in vehicle weapons (cant move them in any direction)) and the only fix is getting off and then back on the emplacement and if that doesn't work a game reset.

When does the trial end? On the 17th?

damn.. my poor 980ti. I have to bump it down to high @ 1440p.. what has the world come to!

[QUOTE=surfur;51205608]damn.. my poor 980ti. I have to bump it down to high @ 1440p.. what has the world come to![/QUOTE] i have mine upscaled the resolution @ 1080 by 130% and ultra and keep 144 fps. Again, bf1 (as shown with the guy with the i5 that was using all the cores at max) is a very, VERY CPU intensive game. I upgraded from a i5-3570 3.4ghz to an i7-6700K 4.0 ghz, and gained 3x my fps with the same GPU (980ti golden edition 6GB). Beta was a slog of 60 fps if lucky and 40-20 on high/medium. Since the upgrade i get the stats said earlier on every map in every condition. just tested it and my cpu usage was at 90% on every core. I mean at least its optimized for the most part.

Now I want to get BF1, but I don't want to pay $120 for all the stuff. Damn you EA. Would buying the game at launch and then getting premium when it goes cheap be good? Never bought premium before.

have they fixed the massive memory leaks from beta?

Joining at the end of a bf4 game breaks my soul

There needs to be a way to quit the game after a match. Kinda frustrating.

After watching so gameplay of someone using the BAR, Im actually kind of annoyed and I feel like the game is just going to turn into everyone playing support and using that since its the most like an assault rifle.

[QUOTE=markfu;51197800]Also if anyone hasn't seen it yet, you can get a unique 1911 skin if you get 100 kills with the 1911 in either BF4 or BFH.

How can you track it and know when you've completed it? Edit: Nevermind, found it on the frontpage in battlelog.

[QUOTE=Wulfram;51206286]After watching so gameplay of someone using the BAR, Im actually kind of annoyed and I feel like the game is just going to turn into everyone playing support and using that since its the most like an assault rifle.[/QUOTE] I'm getting similar worries to the smg, I've seen a couple videos or people effortlessly walking through 4 to 5 guys with it. Hope we don't get another battlefront where there are only 2 - 3 actually viable weapons.

Yeah, it seems like the weapons that weren't included in the Beta are above-average in performance i.e the Hellriegel easily killing 3 or 5 people in one mag, the 1887 having [I]INSANE[/I] fire rate for a lever action along with slamfire and ofc the BAR where Levelcap described as most similar to an AR which tbh is a big-ass bad thing knowing Levelcap's nature. Seriously hope I'm wrong or DICE would do something about it as one thing I really liked about the game during the Beta was that there was plenty of weapon variety with no clear 'jack of all trades' gun which usually translates to 'no weaknesses lol have fun destroying shit' in Battlefield terms.
