Toggle lock animation is the greatest thing though.
That's a Pedersen rifle, but same deal
This is cheesing it a bit since Sinai is only that much bigger because of E, which most people don't run to.

I know, but I had to come up with some drawbacks to the 1906.
The gifs are from Forgotten Weapons, aren't they? Ian puts out a ridiculous amount of content, hoping to see some more weapons from there in BF1. In particular, the Farquhar-Hill would be nice to see

Indeed. Forgotten Weapons is fantastic.
Hey guys, gotta question
Forgive my ignorance, but how does this new revolution edition of BF1 coming out not screw us original premium buyers? I'm in Canada, so after I bought the game and premium, I spent $140 on it. You're telling me that I could have waited until now and got the same value for almost half that ($80)?
Please tell me I'm missing something because that seems pretty shite

Welp you played the French dlc early and already played the game compare to new adopters?
but yeah...I am salty but meh noting I can do besides voice my complaints.

I guess it's unfortunate, but They Shall Not Pass was so dead that I can't really care about it. Latecomers getting a discount on DLC I paid for is better than not being able to play the DLC at all.
You're not missing anything, and while they could give some rewards to premium early adopters, it's not something that's particularly rare. Game prices get decreased over time.
Premium on its own could use a price decrease however, as it is, it costs the same as the Revolution edition.
Edit: and yeah, if it means more players, I'm all for it.

So I traded in my regular edition and got the Revolution edition.
For those of you that got the game PLUS season pass.. yeah you got screwed. HARD.
But that being said, these new maps... kinda suck.
Way too much open ground with nothing between.

I think that's true of one map (Galicia) which, after you play it a few times, isn't really that way anyway.
A lot of the maps force you to move between trenches and crevices if you don't want to run into no man's land. I like that about it, it has something of an authentic feel to what a lot of the battlefields would look like, with wide-open stretches divided into two sides
It doesn't always make for compelling gameplay though, I can kind of see that, particularly because the game is centered around ridiculous fast-paced combat and everybody has an automatic weapon, instead of what would be more bolt action exchanges of volley fire.

I can't play more than one Ops map at a time, the game gets stuck on the loading screen whenever it goes over to the second map or starts up a new one. The game also randomly decides that it's not going to connect to the servers. And that on top of the absurd UI lag that's been going on for two weeks.
DICE, what the fuck. This game is inexplicably devolving into Battlefield 4-tier bugginess.

Seriously, what's up with Operations matchmaking? Every time I try playing either of the Russian campaigns, I'm placed in an empty server. Keep in mind that I'm trying at like 7PM PST, so it's not like I'm playing at 3AM or anything.
It has been like that on PC for any Operations for the past eight or so months.
In case anyone missed it, another Battlefest event is ongoing currently. Premium trials are live until the 30th, you get 100 scrap every day for logging in, plus there are new community missions - the current two are 50 heals for a Cei-Rigotti skin and 50 semi-automatic rifle kills for a battlepack. Double XP should be live this weekend as well iirc.

For those who are sick of doing the silly things to get the new scout weapons, both are here in action at Fao. No scopes.

Couldn't agree more. Imagine having to grind for the new maps too. "Win 5 games of (insert game mode nobody plays) on St Quentin Scar to unlock Albion!".
Wait, maybe I shouldn't post this joke. It might give them ideas.
We should have the option to unlock them. Especially those in my situation that paid for Premium and for the Ultimate unlock kit. I mean, I paid almost the price of the full game to unlock everything in the base game, of course I'll also want the DLC weapons to be unlocked.
I just can't understand what the person that designed those must be like, if they think this is fun.
If you really must have these challenges, can't you at least have something for all classes that is simple or maybe useful that actually promotes teamplay? Why does it have to be incredible boring, luckbased and just straight up annoying stuff? Why the progression doesn't work in retrospect is an other good question.
If they have to force us to do stuff it should be like this:
-get x amount of revives
-get x amount of resupplies
-do x amount of damage to vehicles as assault
That would all make sense and would just naturally happen as you play anyway.

Yup, it should encourage team play and proper use of gadgets as intended. Not fuckin shoot 2 planes with LMGs.
This exactly. If this was the case I wouldn't have a problem with it. Now I've got to chase down damaged planes in hopes that I get the kill shot with an LMG. No help at all to my team. And yet Dice keep preaching, PTFO. lol
Why does my BF1 have an 852.23 MB update? I was on yesterday and the day before and had the small UI update, which I assume was for Battlefest content. I want aware of any upcoming content updates after ITNOTT DLC. It feels too early for the weapon balance and conquest changes to come out of CTE. Anyone know?
Thanks man.

I think they thought people shooting at planes with LMGs would be much more common than it is, it happened a lot to the choppers in BC2 Vietnam. I think the chance of getting sniped while attempting it here is much higher.

Had a great night last night. Shot down three or four planes with the anti-tank artillery truck. Those heavy bombers going low n' slow makes them such easy targets. Then an attack plane tried to dive bomb me head on. Easy shot. Then on the next game I went 55 and 10. That's pretty much my max in a standard Conquest 64 right now.
I thought Galicia was too open at one point but I've been playing it with a shotgun and you can maneuver around really well in the trenches and craters. Captures the idea of a no man's land pretty well. I wish there was a more Amiens style map in this expansion but it wasn't a common type of battle in the war. I'm really glad they included the Russian Civil War, really good designs. Just waiting for that Galipoli map...

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Conquest doesn't feel as great as the value of capturing points has diminished and the game panders to sniper/distance play over close quarters. The difficulty of sniping is trivial compared to Battlefield 3/4, so you wind up with half of a Conquest server playing stop-and-pop shootbang over distance. And it's especially worse on the most open maps where snipers have an inherent advantage due to massive stretches of open terrain. Throw in the limited vehicle and equipment variety and bad maps highlight the poor pull and tug of Conquest BF1 and the weirdly skewered points system that's basically glorified TDM.
I still absolutely adore this game and Conquest is my always go-to for playing, because on the right maps BF1 is utterly glorious. But yeah. The choice of setting limited vehicle/equipment variety combined with DICE's emphasis on accessibility over complexity makes the worst maps just boring as hell in Conquest.

So... I just updated the game on PS4 and it won't leave the screen with the planet Earth and the music playing? Wtf?
Edit: restarted the PS4 and it solved the problem.

Haven't they updated it to classic Conquest yet? But yeah, nuConquest isn't that great.

The OST for In the Name of the Tsar is amazing
I think Classic Conquest is still on the CTE server. No word yet if it will actually be put into the game.

I hate how you can't see how many tickets are left in a game. Every server I join the match is over as soon as I get in, so I never get the map I want.
And thanks to the bullshit map voting you can't even learn the map rotation and join a server playing the map before the map you like to guarantee a full game on the map either.
Did I mention how much I dislike map voting and how terrible the average players taste in maps is?
I do complain too much though lol
The new maps are pretty fun. Recorded a few rounds. Really got it going on the last game with the machine gun. I honestly would have liked to seen more desert type maps like in the original release.

When DICE mention 2 more maps, I thought some Ottoman vs Russia maps were being made. But it was the red army maps instead.

O no, not that I know of, I meant when DICE mention they are releasing 6 maps for the Russian DLC instead of 4.

So is premium worth 40% off I'm currently on the fence about purchasing. Played a few of the new maps on the weekend quite enjoyed them but I'm not sure if I should wait and see if it goes into the EA access like battlefield four premium did. And is the premium only multiplayer content ?

It might be cheaper selling your hard copy and buying BF1 Revolution. Its all MP content. I have no idea. I know there were a limited time when BF4 DLC was free to download.
