Anyone on PS4 getting long loads back to the main menu when hitting quit at the end of a match?
I waited and then it said it kicked me from the server for being idle.

Yup, I watch some videos of popular YouTubers and the other teams look trash. On the LevelUp videos I saw him get quite a good amount of kills without being taken out. Me though I seem to get one or two kills then dead. I'm always checking my surrounds and it just seems the spawn system fucks me over alot.
That's always the case in the first two weeks or so in a Battlefield game. The main priority is learning the maps so you don't get shot in the back from 10 years away 24/7.

Do machine guns get more accurate the longer you fire them?

Yep, the old case of "wtf I've played every Battlefield in history, wtf is going on?"
Give it time
Trouble is there doesn't seem to be any breathing space. Like the poster above you, you can go two kills and you're dead by the time you look around. Long time Battlefield player here so not a noobie or anything.
Right now, it all just seems abit...much.

Oh, do you have to play the single player to unlock any guns for MP like in BF4?

The aiming / sensitivity seems way wonky compared to beta (ps4) anyone else experiencing this!?

Ha! Maybe that's what it is. Just didn't expect myself to be so bad at this stage.
Hanging with your squad would probably help that. Happens to me all the time to be honest, there always seems to be that one extra guy that kills you.

Are you just using defaults or something? Look at the settings, then look at advanced settings so you can set things like how strong the aiming speed is when at close range or aiming with a scope, etc.

YES. It's smooth but when I try finer aiming it fucking goes everywhere I don't want it go.
Like it gets super sensitive even though I'm at the default settings.
Going to try re check the settings like xenorevlis said.

Anyone else on Xbox get a lot of hitching in MP? Happens most often in Conquest. I'm guessing it's just the massive amount of shit going on.
Two ticket influencing things are;
- Kills directly impact tickets by adding to them
- More flags you hold more frequently ticket gets added to total
That said capping point doesn't always make sense. Maybe it's in spot that your team can choke and by not capping it a lot enemies keep spawning there and can be contained to that area. Maybe cap is so out of the way that contesting it doesn't make much sense if overall match is going yours team way with clear margin. If team is unable to contain and kill then they need to contest and cap everything that is nailed down to the floor so they have even one cap.

Wait... revives dont stop enemies from getting a point?
Yes. This mechanic doesn't matter for best LMG in the game because mag size is so small that you run out of rounds before accuracy increases. I'm talking about BAR and it has 20 round mag.

I feel you man, in my 10h trial it's the same thing. I think they need to sort out spawns a bit better, but some of the maps DO feel a bit claustrophobic.
That's my one main complaint honestly. It feels like that's a holdover from the Battlefront design

You'll find your calling eventually.
I was doing really shit when I first started playing, getting sniped and gunned down from all directions. I find playing a supporting role now much more rewarding, I normally follow a reasonably sized group hide around a corner or in the dirt throwing ammo pouches or heals to my buddies.
I finish most of my matches in the top 5 players this way.

Enjoy it. I'll see you in 5 hours.
So I'm done with operations fuck the people who thought this was a good idea to play a crazy fun mode and then give the losers a blimp to just pound you from above. Some maps defend spots it's impossible to hold the points and protect an AA gunner. I'll play round 1 then back my happy ass out to a new game if I can't switch teams.

So the maps are bad? Seemed a lot of people's initial impression was super positive.

I haven't finished my 10 hour trial. Do you think when this game unlocks at midnight, I'll stop getting reminded how many hours I have left in my trial?

I had to change always the sensitivity for soldier, soldier zoom, vehicles and turn on uniform soldier aiming.

What? The map lineup at launch is better than 3 and 4 imo, overall.
Not at all, imo. Been playing since BF1942 and I'm pleased with the maps overall, after being disappointed with BF3 and 4.
Literally every game has people who say the maps are horrible no matter how good they actually are.

DICE completely lost the ability to make good maps. BF1's are pretty shitty especially the Suez map: 64 player Conquest with only 3 flags, 15 feet from each other, in a straight line. Seriously?
The "big" maps in BF1 really arent that big by old school PC Battlefield standards - they are actually tiny. DICE hasnt made anything like the scale of BF2's Highway Tampa or Road to Jalalabad. Even the remixed BF2 maps in BF4 were cut down and edited from the originals. Not every map has to be ginormous - but at least make a couple...
Their entire design philosophy these days is just to force you into constant action - little room to breathe. This creates total chaotic gameplay. While they werent ARMA, the old school PC Battlefields had a much greater emphasis on strategy and tactics - this has been dulled substantially ever since. Shitty map design is a main reason for this.
BF1 is fun in small spurts but as a hardcore BF fan since BF1942 - and someone who played BF nearly every day for over a decade (1942 thru Bf3) - I am not feeling the path this series has gone. Its actually gotten pretty stale. BF1 is better than BF4, i'll give it that, but thats about it. No where close to the classics.

Yes it's all over the place now, I've tried to change sensitivity setting and it helps a little but still way too floaty for me.

If someone dies, you lose a ticket. Reviving them gives you a ticket back.
shits in bf3 and 4.

I just want to say this is a huge improvement from BF4 launch. I am not seeing any game breaking glitches or that many hiccups. For such a good looking game and large numbers of players playing it day one, it is going smoothly.
I am still adjusting to the new controls and everything. But I'm having fun.

Whoa, is the Battlefield honeymoon already over? People were swooning over this during EA Access trial, now I'm seeing posts saying that the maps are horrible, the SP sucks and Operations is not a good mode. O_O

Man, this dampens my enthusiasm. This is exactly what i dislike and I really want big maps with breathing room and spread out flags.
I worry about maps where you cap the home flags and most the action happens to gravitate towards the ill placed middle flags that act as the focus

Bf4s maps were big, but it just amounted to a lot of dead space. Would rather the maps be tighter tbh. No necessarily small small but tighter.
All people who actually enjoy the game are playing and won't post here
The maps are brilliant, beatiful and very open which gives you enough room for flanking and strategy.
Not in BF1. BF1 doesn't use original bleed model of tickets.

Ive mostly played operations and I have no problems with the maps, apart from the mountain map, fuck that map and its 90% sniper battles. Theyre huge maps, but the game mode funnels all the action into sections so the chaos is constant.
I'm yet to try out all the maps in conquest.
