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

So I have played the beta for around 4 hours and here's my first impressions: Its really fun and exicting, medics are useless without the automatic icon pop-up, Sinai is a shitty map to have for a beta and its overall just bad imo, "skip revive" is dumb since it doesn't make you respawn faster or anything, it just makes the medics more useless, new conquest is shit and yet again makes medics even more worthless since no ticket bleed, I like the medics semi-autos and I am getting plenty of kills with it but then again I used DMR's in BF4 a lot, sniping is fun, class ranking is weird how it works since there is no info about it and finally D flag is the dumbest flag placement ever. Edit: I don't fancy the idea of the weapon pre-sets, I wanna customize my weapons and gear how I want to, really hope they change that in the full release otherwise it's a dumb fucking thing to do tbh.

I will see if I can get a hold of FARVA, who played the closed [i]alpha[/i], see what's changed etc.

Anyone else having issues connecting to the EA server on game launch?

You can see a little tab when you are selecting your weapon at the bottom left that says "customise gun" or something similar, and if you click it, it explains that the feature isn't in the game yet, but it will be where you customise it.

I can Ultra at 40 fps (playable for me) but I get 2 second freezing every minute or so. Moving the options does nothing but maybe make it less common. Similar to what happened with Battlefield 3 before I updated from a 4 core to 6 core.

For some reason this beta makes my gpu and cpu temps got to like 80, should I worry and stop playing or?

Can anyone connect to EA servers in the BF1 beta? I can't for some reason :(

For the ones worrying about tanks, don't worry. As people learn the game and unlock more stuff, tanks will enter a very squishy role. Saw that happen in the closed beta myself. Tanks a really squishy if someone knows how to deal with them, more squishy than in any BF game. [B]Especially[/B] once you get the rocket rifle.

I wish there wasn't such a low limit for horses. I really like being on a horse but I seemingly never get to be one. I don't think horses are as strong as tanks or planes, so why the low limit? I do like how the cavalry guy is such a badass, though. He can fire a lever-action, one handed, on horseback, without bringing it up to his eye with pinpoint accuracy. Perhaps the limit is not on horses but on how many of these guys there are.

I don't understand why horses couldn't just be a simple quadbike-esc form of transporation instead of this ridiculous hero class thing that fucks with your loadout, gives you magical resistance while riding, and gives you a saber that can autokill everyone in a 5m radius

I don't think they've mentioned at all that there will be anything other than the pre-set stuff in the game.

Fuck me sideways, it's already happening: [video=youtube;S92m5A_n2P0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S92m5A_n2P0[/video] Disclaimer: I'm not advertising anything, I'm just stating BF1 will have its share of cheaters at launch.

what a buggy poorly optimised piece of shit this beta is you'd think DICE would have learned how to make a game by now

[QUOTE=Scot;50977451]what a buggy poorly optimised piece of shit this beta is you'd think DICE would have learned how to make a game by now[/QUOTE] Works great for me, aside from the memory leak issue. I get 100fps on all high 1080p on a 2 year old rig

[QUOTE=Scot;50977451]what a buggy poorly optimised piece of shit this beta is you'd think DICE would have learned how to make a game by now[/QUOTE] It is a beta. Runs surprisingly well for me, actually. You didn't play BF3's beta, did you?

Is this a place in sinai desert? [IMG_thumb]http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab317/ulvemann43/where%20dis_zpsgo4zmsde.png[/IMG_thumb] I don't recognize it at all. It even looks like there is a lake there.

[QUOTE=jonoPorter;50977605]I have to laugh every time people trying to defend open betas these days acting like they're not timed demos.[/QUOTE] Some are, but Battlefield ones have always been about finding bugs and getting feedback for tweaks for the final release. Hell they might even entirely revert Conquest back to its original mechanics based on feedback from the beta

[QUOTE=Samiam22;50977469]It is a beta. Runs surprisingly well for me, actually. You didn't play BF3's beta, did you?[/QUOTE] I did. And the alpha. Even the alpha was far far better than this.

[QUOTE=Scot;50977643]I did. And the alpha. Even the alpha was far far better than this.[/QUOTE] The game runs fine on ultra on my 970, I even have a really sub par cpu (fx8320) and I get a constant 80 fps, if you downloaded the new nvidia driver i heard that's causing severe performance issues

Which have a track record of running better in DICE games. My friend has an nvidia card and he's having the same crashing/framerate issues as me.

Yeah, I have a 750ti and I still get 70+ fps on low. It runs better than bf4 for me, aside from the awful memory leak.

cool I'm now level 15 and still rank 0 in every class

[QUOTE=Wulfram;50977639]Some are, but Battlefield ones have always been about finding bugs and getting feedback for tweaks for the final release.

[QUOTE=krail9;50977668]cool I'm now level 15 and still rank 0 in every class[/QUOTE] Yeah, I dont like this. Its making me not want to play different classes because I want to focus on one to get the unlocks for it, but it takes such a long, unspecified time to rank them up that I dont even know if I can get all the stuff for all the classes to try it out

[QUOTE=Scot;50977643]I did. And the alpha. Even the alpha was far far better than this.[/QUOTE] I am not sure we are playing the same game, then. The worst I've had is some prompts getting stuck, being unable to vault over some obstacles, and peoples equipment slingshotting around their waist (which looks funny but usually stops after a moment or two). BF3's beta on the other hand had me getting shot from inside the ground, people going invisible, and some real wonky animation and physics glitches.

The details aren't solid, but it seems to be that occasionally, if you play more than one round on any given server, you will stop progressing that class until you change. For what it's worth, I'm rank 30 with 4 in medic and 2 in support and assault.
