Battlefield 1 Premium Pass is free (PC, PS4, XBone) also game is $5 on origin

[Morbo!!!]

For under a fiver it's a bargain really

Its pretty active, just in a slump due to the wait for V.

[Blueleaf]

Had an interest in 1 when the first trailer appeared just for seeing a big AAA FPS tackle WWI instead of the usual modern/sci-fi settings, but never got round to buying it before. But for this price it's a steal.

[Gigababait]

Bought it, it's pretty fun.
Unfortunately playing on the (imo) most fun 64 player servers is not as pleasant as it could be for me.
My i5-4590 is bottlenecking me harddd.
Oh well, guess it's still playable.

[Codemaster85]

With 1 and V avoid DX12 entirely. Its a massive performance sink even for extremely high end rigs.

[Gigababait]

I know, I tried DX12 in the open beta too hoping it would have been fixed there.
Nope, still the same crap, perhaps even worse.

[Raidyr]

I have the same CPU. Performance at release was great but last year they did a big netcode overhaul that hit quad cores and i5's in particular hard.

[Gigababait]

Well I'll be damned if that isn't some luck.
I'd love to get a Ryzen but I don't have the money to buy one, let alone the new mobo i'd have to get.

If you just wanna do the single player, I think Origin has this free psuedo-demo-mode where you get the game for a little while to try out. Just do that, the single-player is completable in just a few hours.

[Ancellax]

Its a free trial that lasts 10 hours

[The_J_Hat]

You can beat the game twice in that amount of time

[Techno Grub]

Downloading BF5 and all the DLC at a whopping 2mb/s with my mobile connection, here we come whooo--!!

[Riller]

Absolutely doable, I beat everything but the fucking plane story in about five hours. The fucking plane story I can't beat, 'cause the plane controls are godawful.

[DaCool]

Yeah, that is fine but I bought it anyhow, I may be cheapskate but not to that level, I can spare a fiver.

[StrawberryClock]

must be a nice view you're having on your high horse

[LeonS]

yeah everyone here loves chanting about how bad EA are but sure as hell are willing to pay up of the price is right. some integrity.

[StrawberryClock]

yeah, talking down to people doesn't make you look like a tool or anything

[VinLAURiA]

Screw it, bit the bullet. I've got enough in my cash buffer to take a little out. Got the $5 version here as well this month's Humble Monthly, because it comes with Overwatch and I'm not gonna turn down Overwatch for $11.

[The_J_Hat]

Really? The plane controls in the campaign felt so refined compared to the multiplayer controls

[CyclonatorZ]

Might as well. I finally have a powerful enough PC to run it. And if I like it, I'm sure there will be plenty of players for the time being - especially considering that Battlefield V is looking to seriously underperform.

[Riller]

Battlefield plane controls are just so fuckin' floaty I can't deal with them.
