Battlefield 1 general discussion

I think for the first time ever in a BF game, my vehicle kills are 3 times higher than my weapon kills...

I haven't actually piloted the planes, as I've always been pretty rubbish with them, but being a front gunner in the bomber is fantastic fun - so satisfying to strafe with.

Running at 50 now and getting a smooth 100fps so me happy.

Also NVIDIA just released some new drivers for BF1. Gonna download them and test out later.

mossym

couldn;t even get the game to run until i downloaded that driver, kept getting a directx error. fine now though with that driver. crazy thing is i was notified of a new driver this morning and updated but it must have been to a version earlier than that

Also guys for anyone wanting to unlock everything during beta, you might want to watch this for now:

TL;DR - Dont stay on the same server.

There's a glitch with this: Select loadout and you can buy anything you want as long as you have Warbonds to buy it.

No need to level up class to unlock stuff for beta.

I just went on a 30 kill streak with the light tank.


That thing can be a proper monster

Anyone else running it on PS4 notice a bit of in-game lag. Solid connection + Irish servers but in-game lag? Reminiscent of BF4 start, hopefully it's only the beta

Playing rush and came across 6 of my team mates on the mountain sniping into the town. If TK was on I would have dynamited them all.

6 of them, all beside each other ffs.

Strange stuff happening on xb1. Game will finish and straight away give you the option to spawn in. You'll see team mates spawning in already and the game looks like it froze with menu's not responding. After a min or so you get the end of match report. The odd time the menu's will freeze and be unresponsive too.

I like to bayonet charge way too much.

thanks for that!

I can try out all the weapons etc now

I really love it so far, it feels like a fresh spin. Gritty and frantic are how I would describe it, its like a proper all out war. Can't wait for October.

Mini tank so OP. Should be a filter on what you hear in game after a while of firing in that thing. If you think about it 4 or 5 shots IRL would deafen you.

The Specialist

I'm sure they will nerf a few things based on the feedback they get but I hope they leave tanks alone, they should be fearsome. Not some rolling tin can you should just run Rambo towards with c4. I dread seeing them rolling in to an objective in this.

in conquest the light tank > landship/heavy tank.

It only needs one player to operate has both anti tank and anti infantry capabilities and can poop health and ammo supplies. makes them great defensive units for holding points

In rush though I think its reversed. At least for attacking as it lets you hit harder then a sledge hammer and dig in on top of a point.

appears to be a dos attack by some group call poodle something something according to some anonymous person on the interweb

TerrorFirmer

**** sake, clear my evening to play this and servers are down for the past few hours.

Noxin

yea I've stopped for the night. Too many connection issues. Got a few games in though.
Will come back tomorrow.

Anyone with the lost connection to ea error, click on multiplayer and then click go online. Usually takes a few attempts but it will let you in that way

Down again on PS4. Got to love EA

I've tried everything, can't connect to any server. Just get matchmaking failed/cannot join game or similar for the past 30 minutes solid.

it's not EAs fault in so much it is not a general issue, it's just that their security is not all that it should be -

so are all the bf's and battlefront

TerrorFirmer

For me the really annoying thing is EA's silence. The game's have been largely down now since this morning, you'd think they'd say something at least 12 hours later.
