I don't do it for anyone else out of fairness but I'll send you an invite as soon as I open the party mate.
Be ready to accept at 22:00 though because last night it literally filled in 3 seconds.

Nah, don't send it. First come first in. Fair for all. I do appreciate the thought though

We are such a good force attacking that we actually start pissing about
Redders was, as usual, top of the board.
I decided to respawn every time I died rather than letting him revive me and get the points.
Lol we still won massively and he still topped the board.
He always runs in to danger, revives a player, and then both leave unscathed every time. Pro player Redders.

Following me about all day is easy mode for medics. I die soooo often.
Uh Hell no. Shit was a buggy mess.. I would be lucky to load in depending on how a patch went. After the Windows anniversary update I couldn't even fucking load the game because of the stupid browser setup.
Good riddance. Coming from someone with 2k hours +.
Plus you can easily alt tab and do whatever you want in windowless boarder.

And battlelog in general was completely useless on consoles. We basically had what we have now, only with the option of opening an in-game battlelog menu that didnt load half the time. Was complete garbage.
I get a similar deal when I play Domination a lot of the time. I can either play musical flags and lose the flag I just capped as I'm going to another flag or defend and hold one flag the entire game with my teammates never capping the other two flags. It's a no win situation.
Random players just don't play objectives properly. They never will either so I should just shut up about it I guess lol.
The battle reports were great though.
Man, I really enjoyed the intense defense we had last night. We kept them at bay in the first zone the entire time with tanks all over the place.
That was great fun.
Also, might be missing the games tonight as the wife and I are tackling organizing the basement this afternoon (evening for you UK'ers).

Anyone else having problems with Origin and cloud sync?

Hey guys, picked this up on Black Friday despite being disappointed by the beta and man i love it. I love how visceral the gunplay feels, i love the gorgeous graphics on the Pro, and the absolutely chaotic war scenes. It's like playing Saving Private Ryan.
Anyway, I have always struggled with BF games due to the constant running and getting sniped, but with some patience I have learned how to stay alive in this game. Are there any groups that play every night? I have added myself to the google spreadsheet. PSN: SlimySnake
The thing i hate the most are medics who dont revive you. Why are you playing medic if you just run away from the dead guy?
Had this amazing moment yesterday when i snuck into this bunker where an entire team was camping and amidst all the mustard gas smoke i ended up taking out nearly all of them. hilarious.

Yeah, I actually really disliked the Beta, but since I'm a huge Battlefield nerd, I still bought BF1 day one and don't regret it at all. Turned out to be my favorite Battlefield ever.
Can't wait to see what's in store for this game.
The Conquest scoring system being fixed after the beta helped tremendously. Rush was absolutely broken in the beta as well.Yeah, I actually really disliked the Beta, but since I'm a huge Battlefield nerd, I still bought BF1 day one and don't regret it at all.

I made my origin name during the Bf3 beta. Add me, my name is battlelogsucks.
Haha, nice.
Never experienced anything like that! Never heard of the issue either, but I guess I was lucky. Thing was marvelous though and easily the best server browser ever.
I didn't like the idea at launch but they did a fantastic job with it after launch. A real shame they decided to go backwards in this regard.
I've recently re-kindled my old love of conquest mode with BF1. A solid 30-40 minutes of non stop action, where all roles are vital and its a load of fun.
Haha, nice.

I just don't see what it adds.. you can choose whatever kind of server you want in game. By using Battlelog, there were a lot more variables involved with connecting to and joining the game, resulting in lots of fuckups. It didn't get a whole lot better after launch, but I'm glad it worked for you. I like just connecting with one click instead of having to pray everything goes well and that the game launches and that you also made it into the right server. Lots of things went wrong, which is why they ultimately abandoned it, I'm sure.
Again.. why not just alt tab? I guess I just don't understand the convenience or advantage Battlelog provided (aside from a more robust server browser).

The UX overall has suffered because they haven't carried feature parity between the site companion and battlelog. What can you do in the loading screen in regards to your loadout for BF1? Even if you make the choice to give up exclusive fullscreen for quickly alt tabbing while ingame, you only get basic loadout slot options on the site. It's actually more absurd now because they're arbitrarily drawing a line between what you can do in the browser and what you can do ingame.
Nonsense, the game is much faster now that everything is in game. Booting up the game from scratch everytime you wanted to enter a server was a disaster.

I feel ya man, was good just jumping over quickly to the bookmarked server browser and having it load in the background. Now I have to fully commit haha

:lo; bf news update is pretty much "please buy the season pass".
jokes on you DICE! I already bought the season pass twice! .....
Needs testing but I'm pretty sure you can self repair tanks without being tanker clad if you spawn as support with the wrench as one of your gadgets.
Came in super useful when I pinched the opposite teams tank....
Unsure if big or intentional but I found it SUPER useful so I thought I'd share for you tank thieves haha

I didn't know you can't change your loadout from outside of the game.. I agree that needs to be fixed. My main gripe was the fact that there were so many bugs just LAUNCHING the game and entering a server through BL, so I'm glad that shit is gone.
While you're loading though, you can always customize your entire loadout through the phone app. It's easy to do and super fast.
On that note.. seriously screw people who abandon vehicles or get out for any reason other than to quickly repair (I still wouldn't do this though since tanks are so crucial now and fewer per match).
Never get out of your tank as driver.. it's far to risky.
But wow people who abandon vehicles at 5% HP, seriously you're fucking up the game badly. It's just begging to be repaired and stolen by the other team. I do this all the time when I see someone jump out.
Is it better than the BAR? Been using that for almost 1k kills. Is it as good as the BAR for long distances?

Shot down a bomber with AT rocket gun :') Sweet revenge
Is that a one shot just like in heavy tanks? I feel like the trajectory is way off, like it shoots a LOT farther than a tank shot. Messes me up, haha.
Wouldnt say better. Have 1500 kills with the BAR also.
Its just more stable and bigger mag. Just abit less RPM and that mag placement.
Its good at range also. Just because of the low recoil and bigger mag.

Yeah, I joined a game and transferred to a squad and for some reason was immediately made squad leader. The other guys in the squad started ripping me for it, until I started dropping orders left and right while we capped stuff which got them a ton of points and made them happy. I'm thinking, "great, these guys are actually going to be a good squad, they want to work together." And then all of them holed up in a building in one place because they decided they were all trying to get some medal that involves getting 5 kills without dying, and they just camped there for the entire map doing fuck all. I'm still dutifully giving objectives and following my own orders (which is a great way to get points; I was leading both teams for most of the map), but without any support whatsoever. This game would be perfect if not for all the dumbasses.
Fatty with the 117 kills with the sniper.

That fucking dreadnought though.
That beast spits venemous bullets. Some outstanding scores tonight.
Got my PS4 Pro tonight from the Amazon Cyber Monday sale. Graphically, I don't see a big difference. However, it is really nice to not have the menu lag or those stutters like the OG PS4 had. I have been getting some weird sound glitches though. I may delete the data and reinstall the game.
I wish my Sony 4K TV had HDR enabled as I'm sure that would make a difference. Kind of annoying a 2015 Sony can't do HDR mode. (I have a Sony XBR55X810C)

It adds convenience and flexibility; it gets rid of loading screens and forced waiting times. I could choose whatever kind of server I want in Battlelog too, I just didn't need to start the game and wait out the "Welcome to Battlefield ... Personalizing the experience for you ..." before being able to do so.
Alt-tabbing is slow and fucks up the window each time, which has been the case since Battlefield 3. Not worth it.
Being frustrated with technical issues is completely understandable, but I'm not sure how it works as an argument in this case. It's not an issue with the model per se, just the execution. I'm not sure if your particular issue was widespread but I'm having my doubts considering the growth of the player base during that period. I mean, a lot of players would probably abandon pretty quickly if the freaking matchmaking system wasn't functional.
But wouldn't it be great to have the best of two worlds? I don't see why not!
How on earth is it faster?
You're not "booting up from scratch everytime" with Battlelog. I don't think you know how Battlelog works?
Yeah, it was great, especially if you had a favorite server. The server browsing was so trivial and now it requires ~2min of unnecessary attention before I'm on a server.
It's not a biggie, but it is a downgrade nonetheless. I've found myself playing less because of it.

Not sure I'm proud of this, but the other team didn't seem to want to kill us. We both had a heavy tank the entire round. I don't know the other dude, total rando.

Defending on operations is a total slog. It often comes down to holding a specific bunker for like 500 tickets.

I’m finally starting to get bored. I started up BF 1 then I’m like eh I really don’t want to play this and quit. I mean I pretty much done everything. I have all the level 10 weapons. I still need to get level 10 for tanker and pilot (I’m at 8 and 9) atm, but all you get is some skins so that’s whatever. I’m just getting tired of the meta (it’s pretty much everyone with a Hunter) and the maps are starting to annoy me at times. I've probably been playing too much really and need a break for a bit, probably until the new map that is supposedly this month. TF 2 is always a nice break from this game.

Me and you suicide running them tanks down 9 seconds into enemy territory. That was a great moment haha. They had no clue what was going on.
Redders is my satellite. Stay within 10m of me at all times and it's guaranteed revives haha.
