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

I'll have to dl it by using mobile data (@ 800kb/s)..

God damn it. Of course the beta starts while I'm two states away from home and ends two days before I get home. I even got me beta code today. :(

played for about an hour. game is okay. [editline]30th August 2016[/editline] lmg's are weird in this game. you get more accurate the longer you hold down fire, rather than tap firing for accuracy.

Oh so they're sending out the codes in batches. Gotta wait I guess.

to be honest i fucking despise the ingame UI and menus. it's basically torn directly from Battlefront - and the only thing DICE should be taking from that game is the graphics

First dogfight as the gunner was quite the experience.

so i was playing the BETA and this happened [video=youtube;p5o2nKrtEzM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5o2nKrtEzM[/video] i guess they could use some weapon unusing animations too lmao the game's amazing i bayonetted so many people that round

The one map gets old fucking quick And the lack of bolt-actions is sad

Anyone wanna squad up for abit?

i feel like there's way too much visual clutter even on low settings. also people aren't smeared in vaseline in bf1, instead they jumped into a tarpit.

I cant connect to any servers, anyone else have the same problem?

Beta ends on September 8th seems a little short, but it's average so I'm not gonna complain. Plus they might extend it.

ehhh im really not a fan so far, it feels like battlefront with shitty guns and a WW1 skin

[QUOTE=Dissolution;50972455]ehhh im really not a fan so far, it feels like battlefront with shitty guns and a WW1 skin[/QUOTE] What shitty guns? So far all the guns I've used have been pretty damn effective, even the pistols.

the pistols have been the most effective weapon for me (apart from the smgs) at close range. they just fucking outclass every gun except for snipers at close range. lots of fun, loving it so far, last battlefield i played was hardline and this is a massive improvement.

Oh fuck, the Gotha bomber can be equipped with "Firestorm" which effectively makes you a napalm bomber. Gotha is love, Gotha is life.

Just played my first Rush on bf1 and i think my team lost in about 2 minutes as pretty much my whole team were snipers in the hills, away from the spots they're supposed to defend

How do you get the train? I saw it active and shooting at me in one match but I've not seen it since and I have no idea how you would get on it. [editline]30th August 2016[/editline] Also how does the ranking up work? It said I've ranked up to 3, but all the ranked weapons are still locked and the class screen still says 0 under rank. Is there some kind of separate class rank?

[vid]https://my.mixtape.moe/zrkorr.webm[/vid] Melee combat is kinda difficult sometimes

This feels a lot like Battlefront and I don't like it really. The weapons almost feels the same as well. I'm really not sure about BF1, the map is also pretty boring in the beta.

[QUOTE=Mitsuma;50972565]This feels a lot like Battlefront and I don't like it really. The weapons almost feels the same as well. I'm really not sure about BF1, the map is also pretty boring in the beta.[/QUOTE] probably physics on how guns work they feel very swb'y

seems pretty mediocre so far, I expected more based on the reactions in this thread just feels extremely rehashed and vehicles are still op as fuck

How do I gain class levels exactly? Played a bit of medic but haven't leveled up the class once, and see no XP gauge or anything.

just uploaded some gameplay [video=youtube;McTYEKXnZaI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McTYEKXnZaI[/video] the bayonet charge is amazing

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;50972409]i feel like there's way too much visual clutter even on low settings. also people aren't smeared in vaseline in bf1, instead they jumped into a tarpit.[/QUOTE] No idea what you mean. This game is a billion times more crisp than BF4.

[QUOTE=Samiam22;50972533] Melee combat is kinda difficult sometimes[/QUOTE] Huh, now I can see why people don't like the UI with this quality webm. Those fonts look way too clean, would've been a whole lot better if they changed it.

small critique that wont matter to some but I wish the UI designer for Dice would give up the 'sleek' 'niche' look. It's not really in tune with a game based in 1918 World War 1 lol. [img]http://i.nommiin.xyz/i/sbagsk.png[/img] it's just really plain looking [editline]30th August 2016[/editline] also everything looks like it was heavily recycled from battlefront.

[QUOTE=krail9;50972580]seems pretty mediocre so far, I expected more based on the reactions in this thread just feels extremely rehashed and vehicles are still op as fuck[/QUOTE] How are vehicles OP at all? Yeah, you can kill shit pretty easily with them, but they're also super easy to kill. Anything below the heavy tank takes like 2 AT grenades to kill and the heavy takes like 3 or some TNT. [editline]30th August 2016[/editline] Also, I think this map is great, horses are awesome, the train is awesome and the map has a really nice mix of CQC urban combat, big open areas for long range encounters and some areas with a bunch of hills and stuff.
