Ooooh yay! I can't wait to get a boring skin for a gun I'll never use.

Cdkeys. Europe Key. VPN.
Still down here, U.S., west coast.
I managed half a game and then I got booted out and now can't login to the web companion, origin or obviously BF1. If its a DDOS again then someone needs to find these brats and smack them on the ass.

Honestly, unless Dice themselves tweak the controls to get them to feel like BF4 I don't feel BF1 will ever feel like that. For me the closest thing is to turn on uniform soldier aiming as I did in BF4 and turning the sensitivity up to 95 (both the general soldier aiming and zoom aiming).

I have 50 to 60 hours in this game already, killed me not being able to play earlier. This for me is hands down one of the best shooters in the last handful of years. There has been a lot of fun and enjoyable shooters, but this game has a feel about it that amazes me every time I play a match.. Great game thru and thru. Every battle feels different than the last, such a great game

Alright, after around 30 hours in the mp it is safe to Say that 999 out of 1000 squad leaders don't give a fuck about orders!!

Which game mode(s) do you play?
The Dude

Conquest and TDM are my go tos pending the time I have. I find all classes enjoyable as well, always a medic or assault player typically but I been running support a ton lately and there is nothing more satisfying than dropping mortars on a cluster of enemies or on snipers, glorious moments
The Dude

Haven't had that an issue much but I do know it's so damn fun to see those kills rack up with a good gas grenades lol

how are the spawns in TDM?
The Dude

I think they're pretty spot on. A few times someone has spawned behind me but overall the flow of battle sort of goes from one side of the map to the other. Typically you spawn in and the battle is ahead of you unless you have a roamer passing near you. I thought the tdm might be a cluster fuck but honestly it's my bread n butter since I love to sit and bang matches out. I love it, I feel there is plenty of action with 12 on 12, the maps are pretty awesome as they have so many great choke points to really hunker in and battle. A nice mix of range and close quarter maps
Same as always, only everyone is sniping on a roof or in a building in this game compared to BF4 and BF3.
Unfortunate truth.

thank you for your reply. Sounds good. I have been playing Operations and Rush exclusively, but sometimes I don't like the cluster effect that capturing a single point brings.
I'm concerned with sniper spam in non objective based games though...

I think it's the opposite, I got sniped the fuck up in Battlefield 4 to where I eventually had to quit. This game has snipers but it's no where near as bad at least in my experience. In fact I was just thinking about how there aren't as many.. But there are campers of course, but a good mortar will always fix that
The Dude

Yea, I mean not sure how much tdm you generally play, it might take a little getting used to because it's quicker combat and alot going on... But it's a lot of fun and you can sort of play any style you want pending the map. Rush is cool but yea it's a match mode that if you're getting crushed you're not really going to make a comeback. Tdm you can sort of battle back at times and make a difference
Edit: there are snipers but they're easy to spot and you can take care of them in many ways I've found.. Only a few matches has areas where they go, but overall it's really not bad. I hate being sniped, hate it... So I would not play if it was insanely bad

You guys weren't wrong about this tips of being more aggressive with the assault class!
I was doing ridiculously good with the m18 trench last night rushing people and being super aggressive, I got my best ever games doing it too, and also managed some high KD games 2/3KD in conquest, people who snipe can't seem to cope with you being in their face, also fantastic to rush a group of 4/5 snipers out in the hills and wipe them all out before they even know you are there.

Yeah happens constantly for me. Also my gun sometimes won't shoot for like a second after doing something else like throwing a grenade. Really annoying.
Agreed BF4 completely nailed it right away. I'm getting used to BF1 but it's still far from where it should be.
The Dude

This game has a ton of good guns for being aggressive definitely. I enjoy assault, medic and support so much I struggle to decide which I want to play going in.. Some of the automatic medic guns are beasts also when being aggressive
Flood Zone was the only map really where it was even viable to snipe in TDM. In BF1 the maps have massive open spaces and tons of high places to snipe from. On top of that you can body shot one hit kill so everyone is sniping. It's pretty unbalanced and boring unless that's your thing.
Yeah gas grenades do that to me. I don't use them anymore.
The Dude

I totally disagree. These maps have many indoor areas to battle and outside you get snipers but I don't find them that much of a nuisance. In bf4 you simply had many guys especially in conquest nonstop sniping people. Here you get snipers but with some of the guns like in the medic lineup you can quickly kill them. I dunno, all I know is in 50ish hours I've loved every second and have been glued to it. Snipers here and there but nothing to turn me away /shrug
Guess we'll have to agree to disagree here. Completely different experience over hundreds of BF4 hours here.
The Dude
Member
Yea pretty much. But it's all good. I'm sure I'll get a few hundred here, I had about 150 in bf4 but I find bf1 so far to be the better game that will have more alot longer.

How is the VPN thing done?
Don't know if people are aware, but you can actually share emblems. There is also a Subreddit dedicated to that: https://www.reddit.com/r/BFOne_Emblems/

Quiet the contrary in my view, i've got more than 400 hours on BF4. Theres a ton shit of more sniping in BF1, its not even close...but its understandable, its a new game and the headshots do feel meaty.
Same, it all feels spot on. Everytime I jump in, I never know quite how it's going to go which I love. Something epic happens every time.
I've been playing 64 man operations, so good. Love the push and retreat dynamic. I'm playing as assault, definitely rewards aggressive play. Had my best ever game (top of the leader board, 41/23 kills, 15,000 score, made the highlight page with 14 flags captured ) on Fao Fortress last night, anti tank mines racking up the kills when I'm nowhere near, dynamite wrecking entire squads....was up on the battlements of the fort, peeked over the parapet to see 5 or 6 enemies trying to get past the sandbags, lobbed a couple of dynamites over....kaboom! M-m-m-m-multi kill, ha.
Had some amazing moments desperately defending on Monte Grappa too, just so much carnage, gas, grades, bodies flying everywhere, stuff falling down, the zeppelin burning overhead. So, so good. Amazing. Love it.

Damn, already up to my 5th service medal on my LoA's SMLE. That thing is just too good.
Also: fuck barbed wire.

Compared to BF4, it's very, very easy. I'm not surprised there's so many snipers around.

Thanks DICE/EAfor not rewarding me after getting all the medals.
Why would they?Also this ain't all medals.
All medals for the week, why not a reward for doing my homework?
You already got rewards for doing them.

You're annoyed you didn't get a reward for accomplishing something they never said you'd be rewarded for?
Yeah , it was pretty hard to get the five medals, i was expecting something else at the end.

but what reward did you expect?
there isnt much they could give you. A skin maybe or a dog tag but other than that?
