Battlefield 1 Early access,Road to Battlefield 1 streams (BF1 prior release thread)

I couldn't find anything that's not Conquest last night, I found a rush game but that was like like 14 players.

I'd rather try something new and not something I've played before and in the beta as well but oh well.

Whats going on with Operations? I thought this is the new hit on the charts.
 
Isn't it a connection warning?

There are different ones:

One thing that really irks me in all BF games and I wish Dice would fix this is giving us the option of changing loadouts when a game ends before the next round begins.

I hate having to spend time when a game is in progress changing my loadout.

They added the ability to change load outs in your web browser via the battlelog back with BF4 a while back
 
I'm gonna ask something stupid....

MP is amazing... as expected.
But how about the campaing?

I had a feeling that each character would setup a Movie-ish experience with 1 hour-ish of content. Is it like that? And.... is it good? The cutcenes shown last week were amazing and set the tone pretty well.

I haven't played it, nor watched it, but based on video part numbers and average video length it seems like the first character's story averages out at 90 minutes end to end, so yeah, movie-like.
 
Oh? How does that work?

And does EA Access give a discount for the season pass on XB1? Thanks.

By EA Access for Xbox and you get to play the game for 10 hours.

There is also a promo on xbox.com (in the UK at least) that if you pay via PayPal you get a second month free.
 
This is gonna sound silly, but my favorite thing to do in St Quinton Scar was to run at closed doors.

This game is great.
 
What's everyone's strategy for milking the 10 hours before release date? I think I played about 90 minutes last night, but I don't want to shoot my wad too soon and have a gap between being locked out and launch.

Side note: Anyone using a nostromo or orbweaver type keypad with this game? If so, what do you find is most comfortable for key configs?

There are still browser and matchmaking bugs. The browser only shows me a list of 20-50 mostly empty servers with no filter, buy if I add a filter I get the full list of populated games. I have not gotten Operations matchmaking to work.

Well...Guess I'll jump in. But on PS4. Hope it's gooooooooooooooooooood.

Already bought CoD for the remaster, Dragon Quest Builders and Rise of Tomb Raider.... BF1 is a must.

I'm so broke now....
 
So what does everyone think of the multiplayer? Battlefield 2 is one of my favorite games of all time and I'd love to get into a Battlefield game... Maybe I'll signup for a month of Origin Access to play the trial, I Imagine I can pay for a month then cancel?
 
So again we cant change loadout in the main menu? Why are they doing this?
This was one of the most requested features that people wanted to get back.

Some tips off the top of my head:

- You want weapon/gadget switching off your keyboard so you don't compromise your movement. I have gadget 1 and 2 on the mouse wheel up and down and switch weapon on my thumb mouse button.
- Sprint on toggle instead of hold.
- Crouch toggle and prone on hold on "C" for example or another key of your liking instead of using one key for both.
- Try to keep "Full map", "Firing mode" and "Map zoom" on easy to access bindings, map awareness is key on BF games and switching to single firing/auto, etc, can help you win fights if you're able to switch fast on the go.
 
Oh man taking out all those enemies with the silenced sniper and rigging some bits with dynamite and trip wires was fucking awesome.





Got to be a bug. I haven't experience it at all.

Weird. My whole squad has it and its over Reddit also. Most of the time in the party chat someone is raging because of the poorly timed pop up. P
 
Does the Support feel any useful? Felt it was useless and underrepresented in beta.

Hate it when no one plays full classes and all you really saw was Medic and Assault and snipers in the distance.

Its better now. You even have some sort of C4 now and overall the BAR is maybe one of the best guns. Also the mortar is good.
 
Visuals leave a lot to be desired in Multiplayer (XB1) but my hunch from the Alpha was right, this is the best Battlefield since Bad Company 2.
 
Not really feeling this one so far, kinda just feels off. I also don't like that they are using the same unlock system from Battlefront for weapons. I don't want to grind currency to buy equipment.

This fucking trial pop up on Xbox during match is getting really annoying.

I didn't get it a single time while I was playing a couple matches last night, weird.

You get Warbucks very easily. I was getting atleast 90 every rank up. Most guns are around 200 so shouldn't be too bad. I kind of like the battle pack system but man some of those skins are awful
 
How is the shimmering?

It was vomit inducing in BF4 and Hardline.
Shimmering isn't all that prevelant, the biggest issue is blurred image quality and a whole heap of poor textures, most of which pop into a higher quality as you approach them.

Performance hovers between 40-60fps too, at least in Conquest. That's to be expected though, I suppose.

I expect similar performance on the PS4 then. My hopes is on the Pro.
 
OMG that third mission! A mission designed around stealth and sniping from vantage points at the top of windmills. Even just these first few levels have been varied and amazing. It doesn't hurt that it's absolutely gorgeous.
 
Just had my first game of conquest was suppose to wait till the weekend to play with friends but just couldn't lol!

This and MWRemastered is all I need, maybe a bit of rocket league too...
