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

[QUOTE=Joshii;51234962]It's so cool seeing people use emplacements for once.[/QUOTE] The field gun wrecks

Has anyone received the dog tag and 1911 skin from the community mission? I just finished the campaign and about to start multiplayer and I don't have any battlepacks to open. What was the closed alpha challenge, because there's a dog tag for that and I don't recall a challenge when I played

[QUOTE=TheTalon;51235172]Get outta here, Nod is where it's at The Emblem looks really nice though[/QUOTE] Thats some terrorist talk right there.

Wonder if I'll be able to recreate my Squad 422 emblem in BF1. *looks at his S422 emblem on BF4 battlelog* Nope, god that was a garbage emblem. N7 emblem again it is. Or maybe a Valknut again and see how long before the Neo-Nazicusations start rolling again.

I really wish you could permenantly set your zero distance on bolt actions. At the 75 mete zero you the point of impact is like a quarter of the way down the front sight post, and when you set it to 300 its properly at the tip BUT your zero gets reset every time you die. Its caused me to fuck up getting easy headshots so many times. I'll aim for their head and end up hitting them in the back or shoulders.

I could probably make a UED one too like I had in Black Ops 2. That shit was rad. [t]http://i.imgur.com/06Lex2J.jpg?1[/t]

So I won't be able to play Battlefield 1 day one cause CIV 6, University Work and 25 GB limit download where I live before shutting off access to internet for the rest of the day, I want to know if dynamic weather is only exclusive to each computer or something cause I remember that was an issue with the beta that people complained about

BTW, if you have the standard edition you can play the game right now if you use the VPN trick: [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_one/comments/57vkh4/how_to_play_battlefield_1_release_in_10_hours_pc/[/url]

It just unlocked for me.

[QUOTE=Shabcos;51234396]I haven't really composed an argument as of yet. I suppose I was expecting either a truly harrowing and heartbreaking experience or either a romantic globetrot with a certain boom and campness. (Maybe such things were hampered due to the game's sort of limited mechanics.) [/QUOTE] I've been asking the same thing about what "a Battlefield campaign" should be now that I've played them all through Bad Company to Battlefield 1. Out of all of them with their usually Call of Duty centric identity crises, the first Bad Company is the only one that consistently felt like it deserved the label, even if it wasn't the greatest single player experience ever. Every other Battlefield campaign since has had single levels or moments within single levels which come close to an understanding of what Battlefield is about, surrounded by so much content which thematically and mechanically doesn't. Yes, you capure a flag from inside a tank during one of Battlefield 1's missions. That doesn't necessarily make it a good Battlefield campaign: Battlefield 4 gave you the similar pretense of leading a squad, right down to being able to issue a single, simple order to engage targets as they fight alongside you and Battlefield 4's campaign is considered as bad as Battlefield 3's. You're also presented with large open areas with objectives guarded by lots of enemies who don't know where you are, but the way those areas are designed and the tools at your disposal feel more like the outposts and missions of the recent Far Cry games (and other games which have in turn borrowed from that series, including certain missions in Battlefield Hardline). That has less to do with Battlefield's potential for campaign content and more to do with how enjoyable Far Cry can be.

[QUOTE=Naitomere;51228296]My old i5 CPU can't get me to 60fps even though I have a GTX 980. It's time to refund and wait until I can upgrade it, bummer...[/QUOTE] What i5 do you have? I have a 2500k and a 780 and I get 60+ on almost all ultra at 1080p and have heard similar from others. It's a pretty well optimized game.

I had some pretty bad hiccups and stuttering on my i5 3570k and GTX 1070 Then I switched to Fullscreen and I get a solid 70 on Ultra :wideeye:

You have a lot of very stupid (but still potentially dangerous) soldiers grouped up around something you want, a few stragglers and the tools to achieve total situational awareness and cheese them down to the last man, or just pull them all into a fight. Before anyone says "Far Cry invented outposts/markings/stealth takedowns/distractions" I felt that the way all of those mechanics come together feels more like Far Cry than anything else I've ever played. The only respect in which I'd say it's like Battlefield is if you deliberately choose to start shooting after you've done as much of all that to improve your odds, since stealth in Battlefield's multiplayer tends to be (when it works) about deciding how best to start and end an inevitable fight.

Seriously though fuck this 5 explosive kill award. Half of the things that should just count as explosives don't

I got 4 in one but haven't killed 5 yet

Man if people just gave me some fucking ammo I could kill the tank that's been decimating the entire team

I think i must have had the worst luck this evening. The whole evening i won just one match, and the others were one sided steamrolls where me and the two guys i were playing with was the only ones on my team capping points/not going negative.

Holy fucking shit what is up with this game's controls? Feels like I'm moving through a vat of corn syrup. I didn't remember the Beta being this horrible.

[sp]I was just thinking a bit more about "Nothing is Written" and it actually introduces a lot of things of what you could be doing in multiplayer, and I think that's why I actually like that war story the most. Like in the 1st level you have the stealth segment and then it has that sandstorm roll in and there it helps show you how you can use weather effects to your advantage. The 2nd level introduces you to one of the multiplayer maps with 3 objectives which are, conveniently, placed where the flags would normally be in conquest and show that it's up to you to decide on what it is you want to do. Between each location you have patrolling vehicles that you can choose to either avoid or destroy, like in multiplayer where you can see something in the distance and you decide on whether it's something worth going after or you should ignore/hide from it. Each location also has a different element to it, One that's urban, One with tanks that you can either destroy, steal, or the AI can use against you, and one that's mostly an open area which allows for long range sniping if that's your thing. Then the 3rd level introduces one of the Behemoth's you'll encounter and sets up a scenario where you have 2 teams of AI fighting eachother while this Behemoth is rolling around where you can learn what's the most effective way of taking it out, i.e. using placement cannons, rocket gun etc, and lets you find its weak spots.[/sp]

whoever at DICE who approved Suez needs to be shot in the balls

So, why do I suddenly get horrible framerates after a little while? Like five matches in, halfway through my FPS tanks, and it's usually after a moment where the whole game becomes floaty and laggy

Is anyone else getting these moments where the game starts to stutter for like a minute or two, drops down to mid 20s? Completly random.

I just discovered you can slam fire the trench gun by holding down the trigger thats awesome.

It usually runs 60 fps for me but there are some rare occasions where it freezes for like a second or two and goes back to being smooth. I always blamed my crappy CPU though.

I got two headshots with a single bullet, I can't believe there's no achievement for that

[QUOTE=Zeos;51236278]So, why do I suddenly get horrible framerates after a little while?

After it had crashed, it went back to normal. But yeah, my game stutters a quite a bit normally on medium settings as well. Time to replace the ol' 770. All I have to do is find a job. In other words, I'm fucked. Edit: Can't even get constant 60 on low. I'm feeling there's something wrong here. My specs GTX 770 2gb i7-4790k @ 4.00GHz 16gb ram Does anyone know what could be going on here?

I still need those 3 headshots in one life. I actually got it once but I wasn't tracking that medal at the time because I had given up on getting it. Being able to track only one medal is annoying.
