I really wish we had the option to maybe turn down some effects or resolution. Id gladly play in 720p for solid framerate. I hope its something console communities push for
If BF1 took pages from BF4's manual then BF1 released with suboptimal server software, they are working on it and patching new versions in which doesn't require client side updates. If menus need servers and they do because stat, server etc. syncing so if server backend works better it could mean better working menus.

Lol. That's one of those "just in case" moments, like the "Kobe" grenade.
I think 64 is fun because it's chaotic. 40 is a little more strategic. Both are great.
Oh! Nice. Gotta love the ragdoll.

I love the feeling of being part of the effort to capture objectives in conquest, and also the sense of dread when your whole team turns back to run the other direction when a tank appears at the end of the street.
Love this game, it's brilliant.

OMG Randoms suck so bad. I'm having fun but I can't carry these fools who sit back and snipe or just run around for kills. They were taking objective A and no one was coming in to help. I destroyed a tank and killed a couple of guys and my shitty teammates were sitting back not trying to capture A. They don't even spot.

I want the Soldier tab to work properly. To buy a Weapon I need to enter a match. And it was Sinai Rush just because I wanted to buy the Mondragon. And I kept on playing that travesty.

My Lordddd.Booo Snipers....
Only map i have a real problem with is St Quentin. That one is low frames all the time. Maybe they should remove some of the background things that are happening.
Rest of the maps is pretty oke for me and overall better then BF4.

I had a cool moment where I was battle a sniper long range with my medic rifle and I ran to the artillery placement and perflectly got him. !
I've found that creating a new squad and be an active leader will get you a full squad of people playing the objective sooner than later.
And if not you at least are getting bonus points for following up your own attack orders.

I agree with the first sentence only. I just don't understand why we haven't enter a new match in order to work with our loadout or quite to the main menu.

Yo, snipers ruining rush mode. Defenders don't have a chance at all.
Thank you. I'll give those a try when the battle moves towards tanks or trench warfare.

I just started with an attack plane in Conquest. I flew to the enemy's first flag and shot on their flag with my mg. Wiped out a complete squad to my surprise. They must have sat all around the flag..
This game is so frustrating when you're on a shit team. Ballroom Blitz is especially frustrating when the enemy team has all the flags, your entire team is around the C flag playing Team Deathmatch, and your squad is nowhere useful to spawn on, fuck this! Also, Behemoths are fucking.

So, is the campaign really only five hours long?

A big part of the problem is that your team's snipers only focus on the infantry in the middle of the map (inexperience), not counter-sniping (for which they award additional points). So not only are you down players playing the objective, but you have to compete with the other team's snipers who have free shots on the objectives.
Eventually we'll have less people playing as scout and more people that understand their role in that class (and others).
It should update fine on the in-game counter. It is really slow to update in the menus.

Why the fuck would they remove the option to choose if you want to be revived or not. FFS idiots always reviving at the worst times.
On PC just hold space down, not sure what key is on consoles. You deny revive window so fast, that if medic isn't sitting on top of you as you die he most likely won't get to you in time to revive.
I've played a few hours and not a single medal had updated ::
draughn101

No one was reviving, so they tweaked the system. I would be more pissed if I ran over to revive and you disappeared, which was happening constantly in the beta. It sucks to get killed instantly, but it happens. No one has the time to check all the corners or clear the sector before reviving.
So when you get a kill or win a round, are you seeing it update on the in game counter? It should be in the bottom left corner. That is how I track it. The medals in the menus have been messed up since this launched. Sometimes mine update, sometimes they don't, but it has always tracked my progress in game.

This is happening to me constantly. I run across dangerous ground dodging bullets and mortars, get to the downed guy and I'm just about to revive him and he dissappears.
Drives me crazy.

Thats too bad, I had no idea, thanks for letting me know. Is there any way that can change?
Also what everyone else has mentioned in here, please spot enemies. I just learned how to spot in this game and spot everything even in sp lol

You can leave post match, but you only have like 5 seconds to do it.

Playing as a medic:
Squad mate goes down
Run over to revive
Get shot and die mid revive
Or
Squad mate goes down
Cower behind cover looking at him and think sorry I can't revive you and watch him die
The struggle is real.

In BF4 they allowed you to choose if you wanted to revive or take the death when someone tried to revive you. That was best for both parties.
PS4 players, did anyone adjust brightness according the icon visibility when you started the game? Seemed like it made everything too dark and I couldn't see enemies well enough.
Ended up turning it up to 50% brightness (was 5% before).
P.S: How do you unlock weapons? Can you only buy them with war bonds?

Ah yeah. Just saw it. Ridiculous. Should be like 30 secs so you can actually see the results before you leave.

Yes, it's based on class level and war bonds. Battlepacks only give weapon skins at this point.

if they died out in the open its best to let them go normally that means the enemy has that on lock down and you should stay in cover

Agreed. This game does a lot right, but a few things really wrong.
Only the medal you are "tracking" gets updated. Also, you have to do the objectives in order from top to bottom.

I love how your custom emblem gets engraved into your gun rather than painted on. Wonder how it is with tanks, haven't noticed yet.
