Did you play on console? I found BF1 much more enjoyable on PS4 than on PC.

Battlefield 1 |OT2| "All Quiet on the GAF Front"
- Thread starter iRAWRasaurus
- Start date
Glad they patched out players suddenly being able to place AT Mines on vehicles and have them stay on.
I had a some rounds of Conquest where a couple of dudes just kept repeatedly taking out my tank with motorbikes covers in AT Mines. Really infuriating. Was funny at first but they just did it every round.

Awwww I didn't even know this was a thing
Yeah, we def need more maps like this. Kudos to DICE.
It seems they are planning to stretch the DLC over two years instead of one, but they are only going the same amount of content as if there was only one year.

One of the upcoming Russian DLC map will be available in August.
lol they appear to be trying to adjust their release cadence for content on the fly, it's a mess.

Haven't played BF1 in over two months and now I'm at a point where I'm afraid to start playing again 😥

If you join a friend who has premium you can play the dlc maps. But you don't get xp or any unlocks. I think as of now, it's all summer.
But way better designed.
It's not bad. But it's the same style. It's more like operation lockdown actually.

The game doesn't really incentivize teamwork. Maybe if they erased k/d ratio from the game and made things like spotting work. And made emplaced weapons and tank mg's worth using.
Yeah, no details, but I'm guessing a time limit or number of maps played for each DLC pack perhaps so people can try before they buy without using the Premium w/ Friends feature.
As someone who bought premium on sale this week I wouldn't even be mad if they just straight up gave the previous DLC away after a new one comes up or something. Anything to keep the playerbase from fragmenting.

agreed I bought premium 2x and would be happy if it was made free.
Yeah from launch to now, tanks became either nerfed to fuck (aside from that POS artillery truck) or the anti tank weapons got a huge buff.
Players using the Hellriegel have a good chance to fight against any weapon in the game so combine that along with the anti-tank grenade, mines, rockets, or dynamite and it's tough business for opposing tanks. Especially on maps like Amiens or Suez. I feel like I have most of my success in the light tank on St. Quentin Scar.
Nivelle Nights is a joy to play so far. I've gotten one Frontlines contest and a few Conquest. Battles seem to go all over the place and no fights seem to get jammed in one area.

Or people actually decide to focus on the Tank nowadays than before
It's the biggest thing from BF4 to BF1 that I don't like. Vehicle play (tanks, specifically) is not as fun, dynamic, useful, etc. in BF1 as they are in BF4. Other than that, I think BF1 is a nice upgrade in most areas compared to BF4.
It also seems like there are far fewer tanks available in this game. Maybe DICE needs to create a couple huge maps and give each team 5 tanks or something. Don't really have any maps like that so far in BF1.
EDIT: I just played a few rounds in BF4. Maps like Silk Road, Firestorm, Dragon Pass, etc. Waaaayyy bigger than anything in BF1. When will BF1 get some giant maps like that? I think it would really help with the vehicle play.

Could be both. People actually team up and try to take out the tank most of the time. That's what I've seeing for a while.

On one hand the spear looks like a lot of fun, on the other the time from when he starts to charge it and the time where it actually kills people seems a bit too fast. Could delay it by a half second or two probably.

Yep. New map is legit. Visually stunning and fun to play.
Will the next free map also be available for TSNP owners or only full fledged premium owners?

Wait... is August making all previous DLC free??
No. We suspect it is time limited trials, but no official word.l

from what I heard in those YouTube videos, the new Russian map is as big as the bf4 maps.

I'm digging operations because it has a frontline, which gives the game much better internal consistency. The maps are balanced super bad though, how is it even possible to win Monte Grappa as the attacker. Desperately needs reset buttons like gassing an entire bunker.

Yup on both. Love leading the best squad with the three top players on the match.
New map is pretty fun. Last time it was just moving in a roving pack from point to point. This time I tried to stay at one of the trenches when I knew the enemy would be rolling up. Needed a lot more firepower to deal with it. Those kinds of deaths always remind me of Saving Private Ryan.

New map is really great.
Having two servers to play on is not great. Why is it always so hard to find a damn server in this game, I feel like I am doing something wrong.

BF1 stats
BTW does anyone know if nivelle nights and prise de tagure will be an operation mode?
edit: according to the bf reddit discord, nivelle nights and prise de tagure will be made into an operation mode. Soo take that with some salt.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Really, really like the new map. Feels really intense.
