EA servers down again????

Down for me too Getting tired of this, only managed about 3 games in the space of A day

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;50986226]EA servers down again????[/QUOTE] Seems like it.

GOD DAMNIT I JUST GOT HOME

[QUOTE=Daemon White;50986257]GOD DAMNIT I JUST GOT HOME[/QUOTE] From what I can tell the servers go down an hour after I get home and come back up an hour after I go to bed then work all day while I'm at work.

I got like 13 kills on the horse. I was just riding around in a circle around a big cliff and the enemies kept on coming.

once again i get home to find servers are down. christ what is going on

Probably poodlecorp blasting the servers during peak hours...

Damnit, I want to play more! PSN is also completely destroyed apparently, it's under maintenance now lol.

I saw a guy running in the street so I started shooting him and he turned around and I saw he didn't have a gun so I stopped and he just went ":(" in the chat and got sniped from behind traumatizing

War is hell.

I tried shaking my head at someone who held me up with a gun and he just considered me for a moment before gunning me down. WW1 was fucking brutal.

They definitely need to change the revive icons for medic. So far in maybe 6-8 hours of play, I've been revived a grand total of 3 times, and once was by my friend when I said," Hey revive me!"it doesn't help that whenever I play medic the syringe doesn't seem to work half the time

They all got mowed down trying to charge me

the only real complaint i got is that light tanks are way too strong. they feel like BF4 tanks but with no way to do direct damage like rocket launchers. the only way we get stomped in rush is if the enemy holds onto the light tanks the entire match.

I think this game will be better in hardcore mode. If you're within 20 meters of a guy, you can bayonet charge him and get him before he can kill you. The time to kill is so ridiculous that you can cover so much ground and a stab a guy faster than the fire rate + damage per shot will drop you Unless you get hit in the head

I have trouble trying to kill them since they take so much damage and I find it difficult to hit the riders, and then they come up to me and OH GOD THE SABER HAS KILLED ME FUCK and now i'm dead and there's no medics because why would there be. it's just, it's gotten to the point where i fear them more then most vehicles.

Now it's the main attraction of the game Battlefield 1, making horses great again

[QUOTE=RookieXtz;50986641] Battlefield 1, making horses great again[/QUOTE] I wouldn't mind a jousting mode, where players cannot dismount horses and are forced to rely on their swords. No guns, just the swords and frantic horse 'ragdolls/hitboxes' :D

We need the ability to throw AT grenades from horseback

AT grenades need to explode on contact or have a shorter fuse, real fuse time is useless when the tanks are so much faster than they were irl

Ok no one answered me but I'm pretty sure my game is bugged. I've leveled up 5+ times and been told I earned currency or whatever they call it. However, I still can't unlock any class weapons and my points/currency shows as 0. So that's great. Really wish I could try different guns and weapon modifications, EA.

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;50986732]AT grenades need to explode on contact or have a shorter fuse, real fuse time is useless when the tanks are so much faster than they were irl[/QUOTE] considering the AT grenade is essentially a bunch of stick grenades tied together idk how that would work. I also have no trouble landing my AT grenades on target

AT grenades need to have a guaranteed chance of causing a critical effect like blowing a track off or stunning the vehicle if you get a direct hit. They also need to do more damage - 2 AT grenades should be enough to put a vehicle on its last legs, not scratch the paintwork and put it on 50-60 health

[QUOTE=Kyle902;50986686]We need the ability to throw AT grenades from horseback[/QUOTE] You can. You get 2 AT grenades when you get on the horse.

You have to remember that theres the rocket gun too, and dynamite. I think the grenades should disable the tank and give you an opportunity to finish it off with the rocket gun or dynamite, not be the main offensive AT weapon. Use the grenade to soften it up so you can finish it off with your other gadget.

-yeah no fuck this shit-

Ive never been into BF games and damn is this one fun. Im having a blast.

Sorry if this has been mentioned but it just happened to me. If you get revived literally the instant you die, you'll get stuck on the deploy menu indefinitely because the game thinks you're alive and won't let you deploy.
