Wtf is up with the PS4 framerate? I don't recall bf4's being better on the Xbox one...
Game is CPU heavy. And the consoles have crappy CPU's.

Someone please tell me there is a fix underway for how slow the Start Menu operates while in game. Going to check the options or scoreboard is an exercise in frustration as the screen and controller become very unresponsive.
Dont think its a easy fix. The CPU is already under crazy load from the game itself.
Started up through the EA Access app?

Not good man. Might be forced into getting a Pro but the Scorpio is more enticing...

Yup. Just reinstalled the app and restarted the console and now the "Free Trial+" thing showed up. Thanks, though.

Where and how can I buy other loadouts for vehicles etc.?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Nothing beats those half hour rounds of 1000 ticket conquest large where the final score is only three tickets difference. Holy shit.

From what I understand, pro uses the same cpu but has a slight boost to clock speed.
Go to customization on the map screen. There you can change loadouts and buy new weapons.
Had a 1000-999 win yesterday!

A jump from 1,6GHz to 2,1GHz is more than a "slight boost". You won´t get rockstable 60 FPS on Pro, but I guess at least a plus of 10 FPS on average, which helps alot.

Just had a situation that was just like the end scene in saving private Ryan.
Was up a tower scanning the surrounding area and randomly sniping off enemy soldiers, when i noticed in the distance a hidden tank sat between two buildings,its main gun pointing right at me. Before I could say 'get out! ' to my fellow squad members we were all toast.

Spent about thirty minutes on the phone with them. They gave me the digital copy of the game for now at least until the physical copy arrives.
Woo!

How big is the day1 patch on PS4?
Not really. Arround 5 hours. One mission is pretty long 1.5 hours. The other 4 are arround 40 min.
Arround 2.5gb i believe.
Thank you!!

When's you open the map there's Customization. It should let you check from there.

I really don't like it either.
Can you make progress towards medals that are untracked too? Or just tracked ones?
As someone said a couple pages back, mines are now persistent after death (unlike in the beta), but has anyone figured out how many you can have down at a time before they start disappearing? Also does anyone know how many are needed to destroy a full strength heavy tank? I've been dropping all 3 together and have destroyed plenty of tanks but I don't know if that is most efficient.
Say you're tracking 1 medal
- get top 5
- win a round
- get 20 kills
If you win the round but don't get top 5, it doesn't matter, you have to get top 5 first. Then you have to win a round, finally get 20 kills. Have to do them in order. Like one game, I had 20 squad heals but it didn't matter, because I have to do 20 squad repairs first lol. Which leads to the next part...
Won't count unless you're tracking it.

Yep this is how it works. This makes sense as to why the "get 5 kills in one life" wasn't triggering even though I'd gotten it. That's fucking garbage that you have to do it in order.
I had no idea that's how medals work lol
Yep. Totally agree, I have gotten three so far and I absolutely hated the last part of the Revolver medal, but I just had to finish the damn thing because I did the work on the first two parts of it. Finally got the 5 kills in one life for it and will never, ever use those POS revolvers ever again. Holy fuck was that stressful and just completely not fun.
Most of the medals are not that bad for what you need to do. But the fact that you have to have it specifically selected for it to even count towards its progression is stupid. I don't understand why all the weekly medals don't simply auto track and you can just select which one you want to show up on screen.

You have to pick the vehicles before you spawn. Personally I hate how you can only customize and unlock stuff in match. Wtf was DICE thinking.
So, I completed the single player.
It was.....okay, at best? At least the first mission Through Mud and Blood, that one was actually really good. I liked the characters, the length, the setting and the overall story. Then after that I feel like the rest was just lacking. Like they were really the low priority and they made one really good in order to constantly showcase it.
Friends in High Places had a interesting story but was short and had some seriously stupefied controllers for flying the airplanes (think Battlefront).
Avanti Savoia was short and played out on a multiplayer map. Felt a bit alright story wise but didn't really flesh out the characters.
The Runner had interesting characters but boring missions and was also short (this is pretty much the theme of all the missions except the first).
Nothing is Written had barely any characterization, played out on a multiplayer map and was just honestly boring too with a boring climax.
The Epilogue in the end was just a video.
Then there is not to mention the slapstick A.I which did some really silly shit while I was playing, you'd think in the budget they could afford some of the programmers who made the A.I for more successful open world shooters like Far Cry, Crysis etc. These were just really dumb.
As for the whole "Battlefield 1 Single-Player Campaign Embraces Series' Open Sandboxes" it really didn't. The airplane missions were strictly airplane when it was time for airplane and on foot when it was time for foot, though you could fly a little bit here there (but with seriously simplified controls, if this was supposed to prepare you for the multiplayer, prepare to fucking crash and burn repeatedly cause the controls were Battlefront style of simple while there is not such option in the multiplayer). Same with everything else, the only sandbox, sorta, was Nothing is Written which used Sinai Desert map from multiplayer as playground and you went around and did some stuff.
All in all, can we stop asking DICE to make single player now? There have been hints that they can do it (Through Mud and Blood was one such hint) but I feel that in the end it's just wasting people's time. It drains development resources and for those who buy the game for its single player only as some weird people do, its only gonna come out as a disappointment. Not that any of that budget would be reallocated to the multiplayer part as you would assume like a reasonable human being, that did not happen in Battlefront which had one of the most lacklustre contents ever for a multiplayer only game.
Yup, find it really annoying having to focus on one (at a time) of the objectives on each medal at a time. They ruin gameplay rather than enhancing it when I try to fullfill their objectives by going out of my way on focusing on singular things rather than picking a medal that fits my general style of play and just over time slowly filling it up.

The hell?
No Medals for me then lol
Yep, I feel like they nailed how an Aussie talks, especially the swearing and I had a good laugh at the New Zealand joke.

Yeah. I love the medal requirements but getting them in order isnt worth the hassle.

When a tank/plane/horse become available, you move your spawn icon over to it, before hitting the spawn. You may notice a lower bar showing the type you can select, on Xbox you just hit the right trigger until the last one where you can see options to select what type.
So far I've only done it with the tank and black horse.
