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

[QUOTE=nightlord;50974338]Why do you think it has less depth than previous Battlefield games?[/QUOTE] It just seems like they keep dumbing it down and removing features more and more. Medic just stabs people now and it's hard to find people after they die. Killing people almost always seems like dumb luck instead of skill. I really wish they did BF2142 again. Between the huge variety of vehicle types and gadgets (squad leader gadgets, shields for support, etc.), it had some unique gameplay. I remember having fun just shuttling people around in the transport. BF1 reminds me too much of COD, run and gun, die, spawn, repeat. Even in BF4 I still haven't hit max level and there are 20+ different guns I haven't even tried yet.

Conquest rounds are too short. Medic is useless DICE just go back to the old system ffs

The lack of a spot button is strange. There's pretty much no way to spot people other than marksmen using the flare gun.

How is 20 minutes short? [QUOTE=Svinnik;50974390]The lack of a spot button is strange. There's pretty much no way to spot people other than marksmen using the flare gun.[/QUOTE] What are you talking about? Q is spot, as always.

[QUOTE=Smoot;50974371]It just seems like they keep dumbing it down and removing features more and more. Only 4 classes now. [/QUOTE] What? How is that any any different than what BF3 or BF4 had? Or even BF2142? Battlefield games haven't had more than 4 classes for over 10 years now.

[QUOTE=Svinnik;50974390]The lack of a spot button is strange. There's pretty much no way to spot people other than marksmen using the flare gun.[/QUOTE] But there is a spot button? It's Q, as it always has been and it works exactly as it always has?

[QUOTE=simkas;50974398]But there is a spot button? It's Q, as it always has been and it works exactly as it always has?[/QUOTE] dang im stupid then, I checked keysettings and didn't see it

[QUOTE=Zeos;50974246]1080gtx, i76700k, fluctuating but I have been so used to shit ports on this computer[/QUOTE] Resolution? EDIT: Totally finessed the shit out of EA support... Told them I never received my key and they added it to my account. Never was subscribed to BF insider program at all LOL

Just don't touch the resolution scale, 42% is the default value for native res.

Played a few games, still as fun as it was in alpha, but I'm not really feeling the map so far. Just feels too big. Fights in the city and at E are fun as fuck but everything around that is just a deadzone with no cover. The train seems a lot more powerful too but I'm sure that will change by tomorrow when everyone has everything unlocked. I actually saw a comeback within my first 3 matches thanks to the train being able to camp one flag and shell another. [QUOTE=Svinnik;50974401]dang im stupid then, I checked keysettings and didn't see it[/QUOTE] Why wouldn't you just hit Q as soon as you loaded in and saw a bad guy lol

[QUOTE=sa2fan;50974481]Just don't touch the resolution scale, 42% is the default value for native res.[/QUOTE] what the fuck I put it to 100% thinking "holy shit this game thinks my pc is so garbage that it's going to run my game at 806x453" is this real life

[QUOTE=sa2fan;50974481]Just don't touch the resolution scale, 42% is the default value for native res.[/QUOTE] That thing is really dumb and makes no sense. 100% resolution scale is totally not 100% and it's way upresed, that's not how percentage works at all.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;50974494]what the fuck I put it to 100% thinking "holy shit this game thinks my pc is so garbage that it's going to run my game at 806x453" is this real life[/QUOTE] Here's what you need to do to revert it back. [QUOTE]If you already changed it from the default 42%, you might need to change "GstRender.ResolutionScale" to "1.0" to get exact native resolution again, in my case 42% was ~0.99 something. The file you need to edit is "Documents\Battlefield 1 Open Beta\settings\PROFSAVE_profile", confirm with render.drawscreeninfo 1 in console (the "internal" resolution).[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure they could have picked a more boring map for the beta

[QUOTE=Pandamox;50974555]I'm not sure they could have picked a more boring map for the beta[/QUOTE] my problem is with how the flags are laid out if they had two flags within the town itself it'd be a nice place for really intense fighting [QUOTE=sa2fan;50974505]Here's what you need to do to revert it back.[/QUOTE] oh my god dude I love you

[QUOTE=nightlord;50974396]What? How is that any any different than what BF3 or BF4 had? Or even BF2142? Battlefield games haven't had more than 4 classes for over 10 years now.[/QUOTE] You're right about the classes, sorry about that.

God I hate AA vehicles such as Tunguska.

im having huge issues with "ghost" tank/cannon shells that dont seem to do any damage, or sometimes only on direct hits but no AOE

Just like in the closed alpha version, looks like BF1 open beta is a giant memory leak waiting to happen. Not only that, it throttles my i5 4690K to 80-90%, sticks to those values for about 15 minutes then it blacks-out and wrecks the 'client'. Several players mentioned this issue on the reddits (one [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_one/comments/50ddye/4690k_very_high_cpu_usage/"]example[/URL]).

So how do you unlock the locked weapons? They just list what looks like a rank next to them but even after hitting level 10 I still don't have any unlocked.

[QUOTE=Trooper0315;50974638]So how do you unlock the locked weapons?

[QUOTE=Trooper0315;50974638]So how do you unlock the locked weapons?

It's just that rank is not visibly tracked anywhere other than having a small number show it during the class screen. It will tell you when you ranked up that class if you keep playing as it.

[QUOTE=Trooper0315;50974638]So how do you unlock the locked weapons? They just list what looks like a rank next to them but even after hitting level 10 I still don't have any unlocked.[/QUOTE] purchase with warbonds, if you need kit rank to buy them, play a match as the kit, leave when the round ends, rinse and repeat. some people here have said theres a bug with rank progression on kits atm and consecutive rounds dont give you any kit xp

Well, can't get it to work on my computer, but I'll try it out on the PS4 tomorrow. Might make me feel better if it ends up like BC2 on the PS3 and I end up on average with a 4.0 k/d ratio. Although kills don't really matter too much except for my own ego. [editline]30th August 2016[/editline] I won't be buying AMD and MSI products anymore.

They need to give defenders more space on Rush. By the time you move up to the spot you're supposed to defend the enemy are already all over you. It doesn't help that all the anti-armour emplacements are in shit locations for Rush. Of course the game mode would be infinitely better if the retards who spend all their time sitting on top of a cliff would learn to play another class, or even just get good and learn to hit something. Being literally the only person down to defend a point gets tiring quickly.

Honestly going to wait a while after the games release to consider buying. The map doesn't do a good job of showcasing anything in the game except how overpowered tanks and airplanes are at the moment, and none of the weapons feel that great to use aside from the Sharpshooter because it's basically a laser with no bullet drop. This beta just left me feeling "meh"

Downloaded the beta, 60FPS DX11 with those settings: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/xAlTCNd.png[/IMG] in my 750ti And holy shit this game is optimized.
