Battlefield 1 |OT| Make War Great Again

Really not a fan of Sinai Desert and Empires Edge. Way too much sniping.

Ballroom Blitz is great fun though, probably my favorite right now.

That's because AMD and DICE did Vulkan, so DX12 copping methods from that made it easier for them to "port" for DX12. For lack of technical terms. Nvidia has struggled hardcore with trying to implement Vulkan and DX12.

Vulkan isn't made by AMD / DICE. AMD / DICE developed Mantle and MS developed DX12. Vulkan is developed by Khronos Group with some contributions from AMD. Afaik Khronos Group is also ones developing and maintaining OpenGL.

AMD / DICE developed Mantle

...Which is what I wrote?

DICE/AMD->Mantle(MS notices they're doing this)->Vulkan
Split arrow at Mantle->MS trying to copy with DX12.

AMD being a sponsor of Mantle/Vulkan means their cards are able to do things that DX12 promised to do muuuuch easier due to that.
 
Not sure how reliable this source is but a mod on the Battlefield forums says no. :(
I will be super pissed if they removed it all of sudden, it was turned on in the early ea acess trial period (i used up all 10 hours before they unlocked the rest of the maps) It was the reason I finally went PC over console since I was actually able to have fun with a controller. Gah I might even ask for a refund if they got rid of it :/

Got to play on 3 of the newer maps before my origin access trial time expired, Argonne, Ballroom Blitz, and Empires Edge. I loved them all, man this game is just too good.

Again why did no one tell me the new maps at launch would be accessible through the trial version. Damn I may just make a new Origin account and pay another $5 to play until Friday.

It isn't?

Afaik Vulkan started as its own project, but thanks to co-op with Mantle was able to use parts of it as foundation. That doesn't mean DICE / AMD somehow created Vulkan when totally different group is developing Vulkan.
 
So what are the benefits of the deluxe version, I'm trying to rationalize paying $40 more than buying the game on G2A and waiting.

I really don't want to wait
 
Battlefield 1: They Shall Not Pass was revealed alongside Battlefield Premium on August 24th 2016. The pack introduces the French Army as a playable faction in addition to four new maps, and is scheduled for release in March 2017.

Defenitely a valid point, I paid about 36€ (compared to 71,99€ for the EE).

There you go then, that's probably almost the Euro price of the Premium pass, which is how I'm looking at it.

I'll create a GAF group on PSN tomorrow when my BF1 copy arrives. Looks like you can't make community groups on PSN for games that you don't have added to your library yet.

If someone beats me to the punch before that, that is fine too.

Awesome. I'll have a look for it on Friday! I'm in the Google doc now as well.

Wait a minute. I could get Origin Access now and play 10h before Friday? I thought EA Access thing would only be possible until tomorrow?

I think the trial will always be available to EA/Origin Access subscribers until the full game goes into the vault.

And why would I want them?
I've officially used up my early access time right in the middle of a match and we were winning and I've lost like 9 straight fml.

The DICE gods were most definitely not on your side.

I'm getting better though lol! Was on a rampage with the bomber. I have always sucked at flying and getting kills in the air in BF games, but goddamn, was on a major kill streak in the last game.

Also, I'm calling it, this is best looking game I've ever seen

How did you access these maps? Do you know if they are available in the console early access? I haven't run into them.

Thanks.

Does anybody have any suggestions control settings for the Xbox One? It feels too 'loose' by default, of that makes any sense.

In how many hours is the early enlister PS4 version unlocking? (Anyone with preorder who can tell me please?)

I'm confused if it's midnight tonight, or midnight tomorrow.

thanks

Is there anyone who could take a look at the community I made for PS4 and could give me some tips on the way it looks?

NeoGaf Battlefield1 community

Just joined it, bit roomy with just the 2 of us! Good choice of background, not in any other communities so not really sure what else could be added.
 
I can't believe Dice.... you did it again.

Against my mind, I pre-ordered... and now after seing a bunch of reviews and positive feedback, I upgraded my pre-order to early enlisted.

The positive feedback on the campaing made my mind. I want to play the SP first as an early game and go for the full launch playing online.

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!
