Battlefield 1 |OT| Make War Great Again

Do I still need to download the entire game again?
Damn I love this game.
When your squad is playing the objective it's really amazing. So many great moments already!
Loving the gas grenade btw, wonder how many people don't know about the gasmask cause I've been getting quite some kills with them. Great to flush out buildings too.
Most maps are good to great but St Quentins Scar takes the crown for best so far, when it starts raining and you hear all the screams and explosions, very immersive.

Team deathmatch has much less going on though than conquest or other modes. Still good to see.
Are there any decent assault class guns, as far as i can the MP18 is the best so far. I unlocked the automatic 1918 and holy hell is the recoil out of control on that, not to mention the optic are garbage.
Unless you're trying to destroy vehicles the assault class seems useless on big open maps.

Hellriegel. The level 10 one. The automatic is also more like a real SMG.
Thanks i'll give it a try, now the journey to class level 10.
If you are fairly damaged and run into a gas cloud before you get your mask up that's basically it- you are dead within like 5-10 seconds if even. I would wager that's where a lot of those kills come from.
That's a good point- it's obvious when a revive is needed, but otherwise if I see a group I'll just toss out a pack and hope for the best. A better indicator may be nice.
And that's probably also true about the team orientated players being longer-lasting. Surprisingly have had good luck with that so far though- especially with bomber gunners all working together and not just spawn-bailing.

Neogaf Battlefield 1and there is a google spreadsheet in the OP
Is the spreadsheet just combining all platforms? The last time I looked at it, I don't think anybody stated what platform they are playing on.

Nevermind I am dumb lol. I see the tabs at the bottom now.
The automatic 1918 Sturm variant is awesome
Adding you folks on Origin for some PC good times. Mine's "rsfour"
And GMG sent me my key, too bad I can't actually "play it," at least I still have the trial up for 6 more hours lol.
At the bottom of the spreadsheet, it has PC/PS4/Xbox tabs but only the PC one is filled lol.

I think the bayonet gave more recoil, could be wrong.
For anyone that had pre-ordered on CDkeys, i've just received my key.
In the e-mail you received after purchasing, there should be a link to the page with your key.

So Im playing on Fao and its a pretty close game. My squad has been at E and F for around five minutes and it hasnt even been contested. So I was like hmm must be a hard flag to take, let me spawn on them and help. Four fucking scouts
they are all just up in a tower doing jack shit. I quit that squad real fast and went to one that was actually playing the objectives. We won like 1000-992, so it was real close. No thanks to squad dumb shit sniping.

Customize. You can change the target crosshair, zoom, weapon skin, etc.
The poster was asking about the zoom level on the minimap.
I do not believe this is available in the console version. You should be able to change the default zoom of the minimap in the Options > Gameplay menu tho.
I still don't understand why we can't just change loadouts in the menus. DICE will never cease to amaze me with their incompetent UI design.

Anyone have any luck picking this up from Gamestop early without paying for the Early Enlister edition? I know they are usually pretty strict with street dates but a friend told me our local Gamestop just has a bunch of copies on display for sale with no mention of early enlister.

Seriously, snipers are the biggest jerks. They play the game like TDM and they simply dont care. I guess making kills count towards the score at least forces them to contribute, but it really sucks that they dont fuck off and play something like TDM. Especially since most of them suck a lot.
Sniping also just feels a lot easier in this game, and it feels as if this would attract a lot more snipers. That said, I wish DICE didnt make the boneheaded decision to make sniping so appealing:
-Tripwire should have stayed with Support. Snipers dont deserve them and they will encourage protecting their high camp spots with these. On the other hand, this is potentially helpful for scouts who play CQC. This is how I plan to use it, but I sadly see it being wasted on snipers who will hide in an area to protect their back
-The trench shield also seems like it would have been useful for LMGs to lay down suppression fire. It doesnt seem too useful for snipers, but just the idea of it encourages long range sniping.
-The other gadgets seem useful, but how useful are they really? K Bullets seem awesome, but are flares viable at the long ranges snipers use?
And did the spotting scope get tweaked? It seemed rather useless too. I think it'd be great if it could spot enemies for a longer time than usual (2D Spotting). This could earn Scout classes a lot of assist points while helping the team. I dont know why Id bother using the spotting scope when I could just be shooting at enemies.
I have no issue with Scout classes that contribute to the team in some sense. But flags still ultimately matter most, and they dont contribute to that much, unless we have scout players flaring flags and spotting for teammates. I doubt that happens often enough. It really sucks seeing a disproportionate number of snipers, and I have no idea how DICE could possibly address that.
Also, I really wish Smoke would get you points. Smoke should give you bonus points for any teammates you hide and remove any spotting, netting you more points. They seem like a good Sniper counter, but people rarely use it.

Seriously, all the scout players are like a disease. While I was on respawn, I decided to count all the scouts on my team. 14 players out of 32 are fucking scouts, just lol.

Honestly, a hard cap sounds more and more appealing. There is just nothing else that can be done.
