I have only seen one dick emblem during my 50ish hours on PC.

I saw one. Kid was quite creative with black asterisks.
I've seen entire lobbies full of them lol. They're super common.

Just started playing a lot in the past couple days.
Your probably right. Which is crazy. Dick jokes stop being funny pretty quickly after you hear the first one.
Also saw one of a girl blowing a dude. Surely DICE is gonna step in right? Yea right.
It was super easy to report people with the old battlelog but not anymore. You used to be able to check out a battle report and look at profiles and report anything that was super offensive (racist, etc).

If it's just rude, or explicit images I don't really care as this game has an age rating anyway. If it's racist shit then yeah, they need reporting.
Well they missed the time period slightly.
So much fun and win when 5-10 minutes into CQ game you can already tell your team is going to lose.

DICE is dogshit at balancing weapons
BF3s un-nerfed FAMAS and the M26 MASS were untouched in their bullshit killing capabilities. And even worse it took them 3 months to fix it
I expect no balances until the end of december or maybe even jan/feb
Also
Does anyone else get that insane bug on Amiens when your whole screen flashes red/yellow and blue. Its only if you look at the C or D flag though
Makes the map basically unplayable for me
DICE Stockholm is bottom tier studio when it comes to balancing and maintaining balance in their games. DICE LA was all over that shit and actively and rapidly maintained BF4 balance after fixing it.
Edit: I bet Stockholm leads BF1 balance. They didn't listen to feedback after Alpha. They didn't listen to feedback after Beta. They are barely listening now. Stockholm written all over it.

I'm fine with the shotguns being able to one-shot kill, but right now the range on them is ridiculous.
DICE loves making weapons, attachments, and gadgets brutally overpowered only to over-nerf them later. They make it even harder on themselves by being stubborn and wanting guns with similar rounds to do the same damage per shot.
Other than the anti-headglitch garbage and shotguns really being OP for Dom in BF4 they did get things about as perfect as you could hope for eventually though. I expect the same here.

You mean shotguns arent snipers?
Why is this suddenly a problem? Compared to BF4 the range is way less.
Is it because there are less guns and more people use it?

Well apparently they are!
Maybe it's more people using them. I have definitely gotten sniped by shotguns from ranges I neeeever saw in BF3 or 4.
You realize right that this is maybe most balanced BF since BF4 post DICE LA because they normalized so much of stats withing weapon classes?
They are snipers.
The Model 10 seems to be one hit killing at a higher rate than any shotgun in BF4, on top of that the general TTK for guns on average is up compared to BF4 so it makes them seem even stronger too.

I was using one to finish up my medal and yeah, i can confirm that they are TOO amazing.
You could snipe in with flechette further ranges then what you can do now in BF1.
The BF1 model 10 has the damage drop off starting 5m earlier then compared to BF4.
Do you guys think shotguns are worse than shotguns + slugs in BC2?
The shotguns in BF4 are pretty inconsistent by comparison though.
I think it's because we don't have the continuum of super accurate automatic assault/carbine/machine guns that we had in BF3/4. Snipers got a buff, handguns/DMRs/shotguns stayed roughly the same, and therefore they all feel more powerful because without the assault/carbine/machine guns of BF3/4 they are more powerful relatively. Although TTK might have increased in BF1, the accuracy of most people "main" weapons have not.
CQ is quickly turning into flaming pile of garbage. Making KDR matter removed all comeback mechanics from it. If your team is 100-200 tickets down 5-10 minutes in then you are 100-200 tickets down 40 minutes in. In alpha and beta you at least could flip it by being better at holding caps even if your team didn't have squad of KDR 5+ farmers.
The M60 at launch in BF Vietnam (not the mod, the original) is probably the only thing that comes close to the brutality of shotgun+slugs pre-nerf in BC2 haha.
People are talking the last pages also about inconsistent shotguns.
It doesnt matter really. You still have one shot to kill somebody most of the times otherwise you are dead. The model 10 wich is the most powerfull and slowest shooting is even slower then the 870 shotgun from BF4 and has less damage and range. So imo they are nerfed to be more in line for BF1.

I'm not denying that shotguns were technically more powerful in previous games, I'm just saying they were never a problem like they seem to be now. You don't weapon balance based on theory, you balance based on practice.
Not sure why Dice would have to step in to fix anything. There's no immersion to be pulled out of and it's hardly offensive at this point. Censoring stupidity is stupidity.
Exaggerate much?
You'll have to expand on that a bit. Do you mean you can't tell where shots are being fired from or something? I've had no issue with anything audio related and I think it sounds pretty great to be honest.
Even with headphones setting game provides very poor directional audio and game has very bad audio level priorities. I can hear enemy sniper rifle going off from 30m out, but 1911 shooting at me right in front of me barely makes any sound. Soldier at random yells some random shit that has nothing to do with anything happening within 10m radius.
One can't trust audio for anything in BF1. They clearly wanted make game sound good as first priority, miles ahead of making it support gameplay.

Travecy Abbey(point B) on St. Quentin Scar has got to be the the most hell on earth point to capture.
I swear that most Operations battles stall at that point because it just seems to be so damn difficult to take over even if you have a Airship supporting you. Point is a fucking slaughterhouse.

You may be fine with it, but that doesn't make it okay. It's annoying and yes, immersion breaking. I don't recall British tanks rolling in on German troops with dick decals and Cartmans ass painted on them.
I've never had this issue, maybe a bug? Battlefield has some amazing sound design.
I can agree the levels seem a bit off indeed.
Mostly foot sounds are low and bit "disorienting" but I somehow manage to make out the approx. area it's coming from.
