Battlefield 1 |OT| Make War Great Again
- Thread starter iRAWRasaurus
- Start date
I spam it like a twat because I want an order.
All squads are set to private, I'm lucky I'm in one and it has no orders. Make my own squad and no one joins.
It's bad.

Sometimes I don't realize I'm the leader, it takes me a while to start issuing them 
As a first-timer in the BF games, I am finally feeling that the game is clicking on me, and I love it. I've been improving a lot these last days, I'm starting to learn the maps and predict enemy routes/strategies, and I'm improving my KD a lot as well, went from 0.5 in my first games to keep a constant 1-1.2 KD ratio in my last games
Also I've started using the Mondragon with my Medic and I really like it, my favourite weapon so far for this class

In MP yes
But in SP it's once again a storyline that follows only the good guys ("the Allies") against the bad guys ("the Central powers").
They went Hollywood all the way but didn't even make one story from another point of view. That's strange because they like to emphasise how war is terrible for every human being etc etc etc (more in order to get your tears than for any other reason anyway)
The problem is you're plugging your headphones directly I to the controller which basically guarantees distortion and garbage sound quality.

Can you kick people out of squads on Console? I never thought to try...

Can you use the weapons you get in battlepacks ?
The skins?
You have to customise your weapon during a match. Before picking deploy location press Triangle and customise the weapon and you can change the visual look with the skins in your inventory.
They're camp/skins.
Under weapon customization, you'll find them under "Visuals".
I'm not the biggest fan of Jackfrags due to some shady history with EA, but I pretty much agree with him on everything that is wrong with the game: https://youtu.be/7TPydcY1TJk
Some of his complaints he isn't sure about if they apply to the consoles as well, but mostly they do.

They are skins for those weapons. Not weapons itself.
Oh, thank you guys.

I think it's poor game design first and foremost. Squad leaders have no indicators telling them to issue orders besides requests given by teammates in the tiny chat window. And why WOULDN'T a squad ever have orders? What I'm getting at with that question is if orders aren't given within ~30 seconds, they should be automatically assigned by the game. I mean, the squad leader system has the depth of a puddle anyways. Literally the only command you can give is to go to a flag. There's absolutely no reason why this shouldn't be handled by the game itself if a squad leader doesn't take the initiative after so much time has passed.

From what I heard, yes I also agree with him.

In defence, the game doesn't really prompt you to give orders, neither is their any on screen prompt explaining how squad orders work or how they give you more points.
Dice really should have implemented some kind of on screen tutorial the first time you become squad leader.That and there should be bonuses at the end of the match for 'best squad leader' to encourage more use of the function.

I agree with the general idea here. It's hard to look at it from the other perspective if you've been playing Battlefield games or even FPS games for a while, but a lot of the little things are not explained clearly to players. This extends to things like pressing Q to spot or 3 to throw an ammo pack, basics that we take for granted.

I agree with him on gas nades. I like the idea of them, but they are way too spammy atm. Argonne Forest and Suez are pretty much gas 24/7.

The starting one maybe? It took me forever before I realized it can be switched to full-auto mode.

Yeah, gas is everywhere in this game. What also bothers me is that it never seems to serve any kind of "intentional" purpose. People just throw it out and it gasses up the area without directly benefiting either side. It always seems like a complete mess.
I played quite a few matches and I think Battlefield might not be for me. I can tell the game is good, but the way I play shooters just doesn't work for Battlefield. I do want to like it and I'm going to keep trying but I'm probably going to stop playing by Friday.
Question: Can I be a medic and just use the first aid crate instead of reviving? I really like the semi-automatic.

Increases your peripheral vision. The more you can see the more likely you are to see an enemy, and it gives things a better sense of distance and scale. Too high and it looks bad though imo, like a fish-eye lens.
In the menu they list it as Vertical and Horizontal. Those numbers in that gif are associating with what value? The Vertical value or Horizontal value.
To me, 85 looks the best. Good view but no fish-eye effect. But is that value of 85 vertical FOV or Horizontal FOV. I want to match it with the settings in BOF1.

Yeah if you want. There is a rifle nade you can replace the syringe with.
Oh yeah the friends list/join/invite stuff is borked. It's bugged and it's not feature complete yet. Looking up your stats isn't feature complete either compared to previous games. I don't think they have Platoon pages/chat in BF1 yet either. But this stuff always borked for first few months in a BF game.
NOt sure why they put all of it back in the game. I liked the browser method. You could get on and just leave browser open letting friends know you are there. You didn't have to boot up the game. It seems like more of a chore to boot up the game to check servers, friends, platoon, group chats and stats.
Ok, I'll give that a shot.

Unfortunately if they do create "changes" to the game like they did with Battlefield 4 then I'm out. The community complaints ran that game into the ground homogenizing all the classes and nerfing the vehicles into oblivion so badly that they were damageless paper boxes.
People, particularly the call of duty crowd running towards this series, are so desperate to make this a bland infantry-only series. You only have to go back and look at the best games in the series 1942, 2, and 2142 and compare them to modern titles to see what a skeleton the core gameplay is today. Vehicle spawns are sparser, maps are smaller, and round times are shorter.
I laughed on Ballroom Blitz today because some guy was screaming into the squad chat that this game was stupid and he couldn't kill tanks. I spawned near him and blew up up one of those heavy tanks with a AT-rocket gun from a distance and he proceeded to ragequit the server. People are incapable of strategy or putting in teamwork.

So this is probably a general PC question but I tried a long HDMI cable from my PC to my other TV and well the game started dropping frames like crazy no matter my settings. I can get a locked 60FPS in MP at 1440p Ultra on my monitor but when I connected it to my other TV via the HDMI cable the game just could not keep 60FPS.
Probably just setting it to surround mix and headphones for type of audio source. I don't know because I don't have a surround set but I think that'd make sense

This.
If you care about sound quality in the slightest, you don't want to be plugging your headphones into the controller. It sounds nasty as fuck.
I'd like to clarify an error I saw many times about FOV
It's not "fish-eye", it's the effect of a wide-angle lens (like 24mm on a full frame captor).
Fish-eye is way more distorted
I love that kind of pseudo-elistic generalisation towards newcomers.
Looks like my grandpa talking about immigrants "it was better before, everything was fine, the life (gameplay) was ok, then THEY came, these criminals (noobs) that don't understand and master the life (core gameplay) as I do, I like to humiliate them and shout it publicly on a forum"
Just go back and masturbate on the good old Battlefield, you'll feel good.
You mean the three that had horrible (okay 2142 wasn't that bad) infantry gunplay to where most everyone was just a jet or tank whore? Those entries?

When the main theme starts on the menu screen, hold me.

Finished the Ottoman story campaign.
It's not bad actually, at least it tries harder to justify all the stealth and one-man army stuff you do.
But that gets to another point. Holy moly there's too much stealth in this campaign.

Yep. They relied way too much on that.

You just reminded me how strangely forgettable/subtle the music is in this game, save for the main menu and "urgent" songs that play when close to victory/defeat. I literally can't recall a single loading screen tune. DICE has completely failed at creating memorable soundtracks since Battlefield 2 and 2142 IMO.

Really? I've been super impressed by the music. Found myself humming a bit of the menu screen song while at work today. I couldn't tell you anything memorable about the BF3 or BF4 soundtracks, however ...
Yeah, this is the first game since the release of 2142 that lives up to the musical standards of Battlefield. All the new themes are fantastic and memorable, and especially because they are now played in-game (where they belong) instead of just the loading screen.
It seems like they didn't want all that stealth tech written for Hardline to be left forgotten in Hardline.
