Looking at these big streamers getting beta access to games like this and overwatch is sickening when you consider 99% of them wont even bother with the game when its released while genuine fans are incredibly lucky if they gain access.

Especially the tossers who primarily played CoD and are complaing that tanks are OP.

I find it a bit boring really...no real squad play at the moment and I find I just seem disconnected from it all..maybe its the map

I've been playing it a good bit last couple of days and the odd time you get into a squad that does a bit of good team work by reviving, throwing down med and ammo packs etc. But its only been the odd time.

I put it down to it being a closed alpha because, of all the lads I play with regularly none of them got a key so I've been playing with randomers all the time.

Not sure I like the repairing in the game. Seems only the driver gets a repair tool when he spawns in the vehicle and on top of that it only repairs 2 points of health with each hit from the hammer. That has put both me and my repair tool out of a job.

No sensors that I'm aware of.

Biggest team play elements from Battlefield in my experience have been revives, throwing health/ ammo, spotting, remote spawning and repairs. All of which except the latter are available in BF1. (To my knowledge)

Correct. Scout gets 1 flare which spots everyone in its radius.

That is cool

What are the team mic options on consoles like? Can you only talk to your own squad like in bf4 or is there more dynamic coms like the game 'Squad'

What do you think Misky. Will it be a Battlefield 1 purchase on PC or Xbox One for you?

As is tradition. XB1 first then pick it up on PC later for the craic.

If you have a choice PC every time, nothing like 144hz and high res, throw in gsync and its gaming bliss.

Yeah I only have a 1080p screen but choose Xbox for friends & zero hacks every time.

Is hacking an issue on the PC versions of Battlefield 4 at the moment?

Depends on who you ask. Most people will say they haven't experienced many. Search for it on YouTube and you will find thousands of videos of people hacking. Some very blatantly, others use it a bit more smartly. Either way, it's nice knowing there aren't any at all on XB1, yet...

It's not a huge issue but it has increased for sure. Mostly down to Origin offering a full week of free game time.
People create fake accounts and just join to be annoying little prats.
I've spectated a few and its very obvious in most cases with twitchy low level characters one banging with pistols from good distance etc
