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

I have yet to play multiplayer (saving that for tomorrow) but completed the prologue and the through mud and blood campaign and I will have to say I'm very impressed. Battles are huge and filled with troops, flak guns, tanks and the game actually gives the room to outmaneuver the enemy. The pigeon part was a nice touch basically operating your own rescue as the tank was being overwhelmed.

Only part that felt a bit off was the stealth part in that small town, game goes full out far cry like Hardline did but with much better success. Anyways the 2 hours I had with it was superior than the entire campaigns of BF3&4 so I'm very hyped to get into this game even further. Gonna get a good couple hours with the multiplayer tomorrow and it's exciting that I get to play something that is not that fucking Sinai desert map.
 
Let me just say this. If you're unsure you want this still, go play Operations. Holy FUCK this is everything I've always wanted Battlefield to be. I wasn't sure on the game back in the beta nor even just playing conquest but Operations is just incredible. Seriously, holy shit.

Just played Operations. I thought this game was good, and now I am sure it's the GOTY for me. Everyone play Operations. Conquest what?

Has anyone actually got into an Operations game on XBox One? I've spent probably an hour of my 10 hours on matchmaking and have never succeeded.

it's like every other BF game just really nice graphics and it's very immersive.

Map knowledge/spawn camp> everything else.

you still need little to no gunplay skill in this game and that bothers me.

Why wouldn't you? The guns don't aim themselves, and there's recoil this time around.

So... best BF ever?

I played all games in the serie, except hardline, and i was pretty afraid that it will be only a reskin of BF4. It's pretty amazing and i am pretty sure it'll be the best. The train add the necessary tense that was lacking in those game where there was a clear advantage. Everything is great.
 
You know, even given that this is Neogaf, I'm kinda amazed at the gulf between the impressions here and the IW beta. Especially given how lukewarm the response to BF1's own beta was.
 
Oh man, why the fuck did they make the spotting so BIG again. I really freaking hate that you dont even need to use your eyes to find enemies. I hate seeing someone because of spotting spam, especially if I may have missed them otherwise.

The beta had it perfect. Small dots that didnt clutter the screen.

Any other changes to spotting/marking/radar?? Please tell me all they changed was the size. I dont want to spam the spot button over a field and magically find enemies and light them up for teammates. That shit killed any kind of longevity on the field and forced everyone to use radar.

Did 3D spotting appear on the minimap? I cant remember

I attempted to play the IW beta earlier. But I couldn't find a match, so I gave up. Perhaps I should try again to see what's happening with the feedback.
 
Ok, what a complete 180.

After playing the beta I questioned whether I even wanted to keep my pre-order for this game. Now after playing 2 rounds of multi(on maps that weren't the beta one) and finishing the single player stuff currently on offer this game is incredible.

The map was definitely the problem for me in the beta, I hated it and it made me think the game was bad. These two rounds I just played though were a tonne of fun.

The single player stuff is some of the best content I've played in very long time and to see it in a Battlefield game is awesome. The graphics are top notch too, giving my 1080 a work out and far out it looks good.

It's back because people are whiners.
 
Alright, so Im on board as long as:

-Spotting isnt spammy and people arent lit up 90% of the time
-No appearing on map for firing a weapon
-No cross-class weapons (seeing snipers with shotguns is just dumb and ruins the class distinctions)
-No P2W guns to randomly unlock
-TTK is still the same as beta


I seriously loathed BF4 for low TTK (made worse by full auto guns), cross class weapons (Engineer was both anti-tank and anti-infantry god), spammy as fuck spotting (so many gadgets, bullshit commander mode, spamming the spot button at a vague area, and appearing on the map for shooting a damn weapon). I hated BF4 and didnt put in many hours because I hated all of this.

I also hated BF4's maps. Are BF1's significantly more enjoyable? Is there some logical flag placement, and are maps big enough? Do they feel like clusterfucks with middle flags feeling like a meat grinder, and outer flags feeling mostly worthless?
 
I have been watching some game play and I have one question...Is Amiens as great as a map to play as it is to watch? This map looks fucking outstanding and makes me have Karkand or Wake vibes. Not that its like those maps, but it could be one we remember years down the road as a great BF map. As much as I loved BF4 (after the shit launch) it didnt have a map I would say is one of the all time best BF maps.

-No appearing on map for firing a weapon You do not appear on the map for firing a weapon. Which is the best
-No cross-class weapons (seeing snipers with shotguns is just dumb and ruins the class distinctions) There are no all kit weapons.
-No P2W guns to randomly unlock As of now, no. Could there be a DLC weapon in the expansion that OP? Who knows
-TTK is still the same as beta TTK is the same, to me

There is only one linear map in the Early Access, Suez. It's still wide open compared to Metro and Locker.

Yep, it's superb. It's vast, urban and chaotic
 
This game is good. However, I’m not trying to play that much because I don’t have that much time left and the wait for Tuesday is a killer. In my view, this is the best in the series since BF 2. They really did a fantastic job this time around. I haven’t even had the chance to play Operations. So far I just played mainly Conquest and a few games of Rush; which plays well compared to some of the past titles. One of the big things though are the classes. They did a really good job at making them equally useful, it’s very rock/paper/scissors. In some of the past titles, certain classes stood out; however in this they are all needed to some extent.

The maps have also been great, the only one I’m somewhat eh on is Suez. Three flag Conquest is just a meat grinder, but some people like that (24/7 metro and locker.) I fucking love the aircrafts, the bomber is so much fun. I also like how vehicle operators have their own loadouts. The cavalry loadout is pretty good since you get ammo and health packs.

I didn’t play BF 4 that much due to the fucked up launch, I was like level 68 or something and Hardline wasn’t good at all. So the last BF I put serious hours into was BF 3. So, maybe that’s why I’m loving this so much because I miss playing a good BF game and now we finally have one.

Oh and the fucking music, it's good.

Yeah, I don't get the comparisons to metro and locker, it's nothing like those maps. Those maps were defined by 2/3 lane choke points, indoor explosive spam, meat grinder maps. Suez is nothing like that, it is linear, it is chaotic, but it's not those things at all. Wide open, plenty of ways to flank and spread out, moderate amount of cover, and vehicles. It's not my favorite map, but it's not metro/locker 3.0.
 
Really enjoying the trial on Xbox.

I'm debating whether to get this on PS4 or Xbox. Has it been confirmed that Xbox is 720p and PS4 is 900p like in previous Dice games?

XBox is dynamic resolution, so 720p to 1080p. I don't know what PS4 will be, buy likely 900p or dynamic.
