Man the first campaign mission was deep. Really love the idea of them adding the history behind the war. Those little touches make you feel for the characters.

Seems like being higher on the scoreboard gives you a higher chance.
That's pretty much been my experience at least.

Like saving the Death Star, best bit, for paid DLC, no thanks.
It would be incredible. Like the second level of the SP.

It seems to vary person to person. But top scoring on your team appears to significantly increase your chances of getting a Battlepack drop.

I know. But that was because the game launch was really bad so they did it to make up for it.
SW won't get free DLC, neither will this.

The horses are janky as fuck. I didn't have trouble with them in the beta, but I seem to be getting stuck on everything, having to press R3 multiple times for it to register me wanting to sprint, and getting wildly inconsistent sword swings.

Gives you time to move around without getting shot, wait for more teammates, get a couple nades in there, set up quick mortar or rocket launcher. Surprisingly there's a few options available when you can stop people from aiming at you.

FOV is 85. I upped the sensitivity to 35 or 40 (can't remember off the top of my head where I settled). And right now I have 1-2.5x magnification at 85% and the higher magnifications at 80%.
They are releasing a free BF1 map in December.

I caved and bought Premium.
This game is just that good.
No need to get another shooter this year.

Random people in Rush are terrible. They never attempt to attack or defend. Squad Leaders refuse to give orders and nobody joins yours if you go ahead and start one so you can get the free points. I can't tell you how many people stand inside a bunker with the doors locked while a point is being armed and they do NOTHING. It's like they think the objective is purely to not die.
If you mean SW = Battlefront so yes, it got free DLC. Battle of Jakku, Twilight on Hoth and Survivors on Endor.

Operations mode is intense. Only played the first one over the weekend, but I'm happy with discovering the others further down the line.
Its so important to try and prejudge the behaviour of the other team.

I think the most annoying thing about Operations is that getting into a game takes forever, then when you get in you have less than a 50% chance of getting into a squad. There are always 3-4 squads just locked at two members, then no squads available otherwise. Creating your own squad and basically playing solo is only so much fun.

I knew that would be your reply, Carey.
Yes, every BF game gets the free map in December. I don't even consider them free, just late to the party because they ran out of time.
No, it wasn't. BF4 just has great support, it's nothing to do with them "making up" for stuff.

Holy shit, it did too. I totally forgot and I've played the hell out of that game, lol.
Oops.
i'm at a loss with this game.
Feels like call of duty map design. Die from every angle. No strategy. No nothing.
This is not battlefield, feels arcade. This is something else. They won't steal BF4 players with this emo battlefront style arcade shooter.
You guys may like it, but this is not battlefield.

I'm just happy I don't have to buy Premium until March with the first DLC pack. I do really wish they didn't stick with the same pricing structure, which is steep for modern multiplayer DLC standards.
Nice bait.

I agree.
Especially now that prices have gone up in Canada.
I think Premium is $70 CAD. That's just too much.

Eh I'm always in top 5 and I don't necessarily get showered. I get 1 like every 5 games.
Now only if AT placements were useful. They deal extremely pathetic damage, reload cycle is way too long in comparison to tanks and most of them is placed by apes with zero understanding of tactics and smart placement of stationary gun platforms. They are next to zero damage dealing death traps, from which you get OHK'd by AT shell that lands 4-5m in front of cannon.
Flak at least deals good damage to planes assuming bombers don't destroy placements with bombs and/or front gunners automatic nuke cannon.
I'm specifically talking about top XP like the MVP ribbon in BF4.
I feel like I have to be way more strategic in this than BF4.

Feels like about the same as any other Battlefield game from the last eight or so years.
Although I do miss the very complex and realistic strategy of launching ATVs covered in land mine into tanks.

2.bf has always been a arcade shooter

What's the general census so far compared to other Battlefield games, especially 4 and Bad Company 2? I'm liking this game so far.

As good as 4 if not better.

This. Sometimes wonder why people even choose medic.
I play medic since yesterday and i try to revive everyone as fast as possible. Do not care if i die in a storm of bullets after.
Timeout.
It's as good as the current iteration of BF4, if not better. This is lightyears ahead of BF4 at release.

I can't settle on a gun I really enjoy using. I was always a huge assault rifle guy in BF4, anything close to that here? LMGs and SMGs just don't have the feel I'm looking for.

played 12 hours and had more than 10.
I am in the top 5/10 of all 64 players most of the time. Maybe that helps.
about medics
Players on Ps4 revive me all the time but sometimes there is somebody like 2 feet away and doesnt care to help me...

For the greater good, I'd say no. New game, new maps. If they are going to make re-releases, make them free and/or not part of the planned DLC.
Am I missing something or is there really no way to hide the actual messages in chat on PC but leave the requests etc visible? The medic requests are useful, but I'm getting tired of the """trash talk"""" i.e. folks calling everyone faggots and so on.
2 drops after 5 hours, and I'm usually around the middle of the leaderboard so definitely no top scoring happening here. Guess I've gotten "lucky".

I still prefer BF4 at the current moment, but BF4 went through years of balancing to reach it's current level. BF1 just came out. We'll see where it's at in a couple of years.
Bad Company 2 is bad compared to the mainline Battlefields, outside of 3.
Nah, it's not a Battlefield until Gulf of Oman is here. And Marshall Islands would make sense, since there has to be a Japan DLC.

You could have a Gallipoli inspired map in that style.
