Hardcore History is fantastic and he does a great job with his WW1 episodes.

Interesting.
But there aren't many modern cinema movies about it either. Come to think of it.
I guess Lawrence of Arabia and Paths of Glory are a classic. But in modern cinema we've had WW2 such as Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, Schindler, and many, many more. War Horse the only modern big budget WW1 movie?

It's because the story is
made up bullshit from the lying, murderous, unreliable narrator / player character. I rather liked that one once I reached the end.

Spotted it on the BF subreddit, I'm gonna try that though next time I'm on the map.

Smoke grenades.
Hollywood isn't the only place where movies are made. You have classics from the 1920s-1930s in European films that are masterpieces (Abel Gance, Jean Renoir, Georg Wilhelm Pabst, Raymond Bernard). Since 1945 less movies but some, especially in European films, are far better than what came from Hollywood about WW2.

Anybody having troubles connecting to servers on Xbox?
Checked my network status and multiplayer connection and everything says it's good to go but I can't go "online" on battlefield.
EDIT: Took a while but eventually connected. Strange.

Played through campaign mode and about 6 hours of multiplayer. I am done. This time period just doesn't do it for me. I don't much care for the weapon and vehicle styles. Had some fun though. Cost me 47 bucks and I can get 40 trade in at Best Buy so 7 bucks for a rental isn't bad lol. (Thought my friend was going to get it as well for MP but he changed his mind last minute too.)
This game
Holy crap, looks like a painting.
Permanent.

Somehow I made a lot of points and got to level 1 medic.
And the Selbstlader is amazing.
No that's what the different variants are for. The Mondragon sniper has an optic.
I have to say as someone who's played every BF that's been released, I even played LAN in Codename Eagle back in the day. This is the best MP experience Dice has made, I played with a few friends yesterday and the immersion in this game is so freaking good. I'm going to play this game a lot.
We were playing on the Argonne Forest map and we managed to flank behind the lines and take almost every flag. Had a blast, the sound design is great, the game looks awesome.
The only gripe I have with the game is I haven't really figured out what options there are for taking out tanks, I know about the dynamite and the Limpet Charge, anyone have any good tactics for taking out tanks now that there is no Engineering class?
And the amount of Recon players, holy shit haha.

No shit? Nice.

There is an engineering class, its called Assault. Dynamite = C4, rocket gun = RPG, and it has mines. And AT nades.
I average about 10-15k per control game. And those are crap matches with negative k/d but I PTFO. In Operations I got about 30k, but it also takes a bit longer. Leveling up is rather fair. I play a few hours a day and now closing in on Medic Rank 3 (been playing since yesterday). Assault is halfway past Rank 1. Rest is 0.

Can I scrap skins once added to inventory?
I'm really happy how amazing this game turned out after being really disappointed in Hardline.
Somebody knows the name of that song? I couldn't find it anywhere.

Yes from the main menu, under soldier maybe? There's an inventory tab somewhere.
Nice sounds good.

It's like 5 second you can quit. Def need To be longer.
How much does the campaign go in to the historical stuff? Is it done well or just a series of levels?

Is there any way to see your beta stats? In the beta there was a Medic gun that I alsolutely loved. It had something like 20 rounds per clip and a decent scope. It WASN'T the Mondragon. I tried the Selbstlader but it doesn't have the optics like I remember.

Campaign are short separate stories. I like it a lot but its mostly fictional it seems.
1907?
It has 21 rounds.

Really loving the War Pigeons mode. I hope the mode keeps some players around because it's a really fun distraction from Conquest and Operations.

Haven't tried this yet. What is it exactly?

A pigeon spawns at a random location on the map and each team has to try and grab it and then hold it for a set amount of time to write a message, and then when that timer is up that player has to release the pigeon with the message attached into the sky for a point. The enemy team can shoot the pigeon down if they're fast enough.
It's sort of like a one flag CTF mode but without any bases, it's all mobile.
I guess Oddball from Halo is a good comparison too, except at a certain moment you let the object go.

Rush, CQ, and Operations. These are such fantastic pillars for the series.
I really enjoy the intimacy of 12v12 Rush. Fantastic decision to not do 32 or 64 player Rush
I dont know how I feel about behemoths in Operation.

Check out The Great War on Youtube
They do a week by week account of WW1
Extremely in depth and interesting

Behemoths are fun in CQ and deploy pretty fairly. But I swear they would be so much more effective if ticket bleed was still a thing. Im still surprised that people are okay with such a drastic change
They need to give planes a break. It is so hard for them to remain competitive in the scoreboard, especially since they can't capture most points.
You are given an extra challenge, since apparently the opposing team isn't giving it. That's good for both teams.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
So I just started playing MP. Am I blind or is there no way to buy weapons/gadgets from the main menu? The whole interface so far seems like a huge downgrade from BF4. I miss Battlelog.
I have to say, I'm rarely blown away anymore but 64 player operations is simply insane.
Any medic gun favorites? I bought this random gun with 5 shot magazine and it is great. But need more than 5 shots...
Menus in this game suck. Not intuitive at all, and simply quitting a game is too hard.

You won't let ticket change be?
Practice flying bombers and being front gunner, when those roles have decent to good players you can dominate scoreboard without ever touching single cap.

That sounds really interesting. How many players are in the game? 32?

Man I am bad at this game, I would kill for a bot mode.
Mondragon Sniper is the best one imo.
