Totally forgot it`s out in an hour... bought it 10 minutes ago. Download takes 3 hours to complete even with 8 Mbit/s.

oh well still better than waiting till friday.

edit: PS4 allows to play even before the download is finished. Can i play Multiplayer in an hour? i guess the rest is the singleplayer files, right?

getting my hopes up again :D

I caved and pre-ordered for Friday.

I immediately was taken back to Battlefield 1942 when I played the Beta. It's not quite the same - but it felt like it.

Now we're getting more comparisons in this thread. So I wasn't imagining it.

Damn - nostalgia is one hell of drug.

On par with Battlefield 2 and 1942. There's some instant classics in here for sure.

Empires Edge reminds me of Monte Casino from the Road To Rome expansion pack, it's that damn good.
Argonne Forest is quite possibly the best multiplayer map in a decade. It's incredible.
Sinai Desert is really good, a classic 1942-esque map. The people who hate it must have been hitting a few, if ya know what I mean.
St. Queintin Scar is a childhood dream map come true. Imagine how immersed you felt playing Day Of Defeat and BF1942 and intensify it by 100x. Beautiful map.
Fao Fortress gives me serious Battlefield Vietnam vibes, but in a desert : D
Amiens is AWESOME. Reminds me of Allied Assault multiplayer maps. Just an all around blast.
Suez is a terrible map. It's not very fun, flag placement is uninspired and uninteresting. No good choke points. It's a fun killer.

I have yet to get into a Monte Grappa or Ballroom Blitz game.

Fucking hell you lot are hyping me up. Wasn't even planning on getting this at launch but the hype might just grt to me.

Is the forest map truly GOAT? Because it seemed too good to be true. Love forest maps.

Also, do mines stay after death for assault? And what specifically did they change with tank/anti tank values? (Rocket launcher, health, etc)

I received my physical copy of Early Enlister Deluxe Edition (PS4) from Amazon today.

When I try to redeem the Early Enlister Deluxe Edition content packs code (Hellfighter Pack, Red Baron Pack and the Lawrence of Arabia Pack) via the PS store I get an error saying the code is invalid. I'm assuming because the game officially releases on the 18th is the reason why the code isn't working.

Anyone else in the same boat?

I'll play assault, medic and support and try to keep them at the same playtime. Will rarely or never use the scout class, I like to get into the action, not snipe from far away.

I play Scout more like an assault class. I love rushing up, using my shotty to clear the way. Then be able snipe when necessary. I hate camping, waiting on kills.

I'll have to try this, was rushing around as a scout yesterday and was doing well covering flags, but was getting wrecked close up.

Jelly of you guys about to be playing. Think I am going to play GoW4 horde mode for a few hours, go to bed and wake up around midnight EST.

Played like 10 minutes on Monte Grappa, loaded the map, spawned in a bunker where a lot of people were being pinned down, manage to get out of the stairs, whole screen turned white from the sky, vision adjusted, saw the whole battlefield in front of me with the huge mountain as a backdrop.

I don't think anything comes close to the graphics in this game, man what a surreal experience that was, top notch, movie like, what a fantastic game this is.

Given the reviews that rolled out this morning in NA, I might just pick this up in a few minutes and try to play tonight when the download is done. This far exceeded the reception I was expecting it to get -- I was honestly expecting an off year for Battlefield. Glad to be wrong, and it's REALLY tugging at me with that new rendition of the classic Battlefield theme.

The OP says that the Early Enlister edition has 5 battle packs. Are these future DLC packs or something else? Right now I'm not tempted with reskinned horses and planes.

On xb1 (east coast North America) in server browser all servers are always 0. Only one or two full rest are zero. How come?

Also any iOS companion app? Not sure what to search.

Cannot wait to play on Friday.

Can someone explain how Operations works? I've heard a lot of positive impressions about it but I don't really know what it is.

Alright. Attackers have 3 sets of troops with x amount of tickets each. Just like rush, if defenders kill the x amount of tickets then the attackers will lose 1 set of troops. They will then re-group and try again.

The defenders win when they successfully ward off 3 sets of attacks.

Attackers have 2 flags in each sector that need to be taken, without losing too many lives. Once 2 flags are taken, the defenders fall back just like rush. When all objectives are taken the defenders will fall back to the next map.

Attackers will still have the same amount of attacks. (Say they have 3 at the start and spend 2 of their 3 attempts on the first map, they'll only have 1 attempt left)

Whoever posted this, bless you. I got tired of the hype filled impressions with 0 details.

Waiiiittt!

Did they make Support more useful!?

I see they lost tripwire to Scout, but gained Mortar (already known about, seems OP and likely to be nerfed), limpet (powerful anti tank), and REPAIR HAMMER??

I'm so excited at the thought of this. I love Support acting as an Engineer. We're bound to see more of them as a result of this.


The scout seems to have great CQC tools, but Im a bit annoyed that DICE rewarded selfish snipers with tripwires, and a camping shield. Presumably they are balanced out okay, but the less useless snipers the better.

I still wish they had an artillery strike of some kind like in BC2. Did the flare gun get tweaked to spot/flash better? That'd make snipers useful too.


Medic seems to be in a good position, what about the Assault? Mines should stay after death, and the rocket launcher seemed fine in beta, but Im guessing the tank nerf made them more powerful?

I really hope we see a fairly even split between classes

So the $80 Deluxe version (and Ultimate) is the only way to play earlier right?

On PC and Xbox you can also pay for a month of Origin Access to play now, it's a 10 hour trial. So that's always an option for desperate people. :p
