Thing to mention, that EA Access gives 10 hours free trial and then if you use those 10 hours and then order/buy the digital version you get another 10 hours before the game comes out. Once you buy it gets reset to 10 hours, so if you play 2 and then buy you only get 12 total. But play all 10 and then buy and you're golden.

I used that method on NHL 17 and a buddy did it with Madden and NHL. Honestly not sure if it is intentional or title specific but it might work.

Figure it might help some people out.

whaaat? wish i knew that before buying some ea games.

How is it possible that this game is about a week out and we have only seen 2-3 of the multiplayer maps? Am I missing some news or something? For most of the recent BF releases we were getting trailers on each map it seemed or at least info on them.

Just played through the first War Story.

I've played on normal and didn't rush that much through the levels. All in all it took me about 1 1/2 - 2 hours to complete "Through Mud and Blood".


All I can say is, it's awesome. The story, the setting, the visuals, I'm in love.

Played arround 3 hours. Overall feel. Better then the beta. The shooting overall feels better and the other maps are way more fun then the beta map. XB1 version also looks better.

Menu is still abit laggy and the play trial pop up during the game is really annoying.
Really hoped they also improved the squad feature more. Its still abit weird to make a group and join a match.

Also, what's the difference between buying the digital ultimate edition or the game and season pass separately?

One is 130 and the latter should be 110..? Do you get extras for the Ultimate not available with just the season pass?

Ultimate is like digital deluxe edition + season pass. I think you get "exclusive" skins, 3 day early access and 10 battlepacks

I don't enjoy multipayer shooter games in long form so this is a perfect opportunity to sink 10 hours into this on PC and ditch it completely! Best £4 spent ever.

Just played some campaign on xbox one S. I mean it looks pretty but I was expecting more. I found it to be too dark btw and too much shit going on so hard to tell where to aim. Kinda disappointed TBH. I only play games for campaign. I don't play MP and I'm skipping this one.

Here's a screenshot I just took, that shows how dark overall some of the lighting is.

Well, even on daytime scenes, something looks off. Like there's a foggy misty part with foliage that reminds me of SW Battlefront but Battlefront looks way better in terms of texture quality.

Yeah some of the shadows are overkill for daytime maps.

Dude that part is supposed to be more dark because it is in the NIGHT. It is actual nighttime....unlike the "night" we got in BF3 mp maps this one looks more real and MUCH better.

If it really annoys you just turn up the brightness

Not sure if that's known already but appearantly server owners can turn off/on specific types of weapons on their server.

So lets say you want sniper only you can just disable everything besides snipers, or you turn off all automatic type weapons, etc...

No way it's 1080p. Looks like 900p to me, at least in the campaign.

I'd expect under 900p, to be honest. At best, 900p Campaign and 720p Multiplayer, but I'd bet 720p across the board.
Scorpio and PS4 Pro could bump this up to 1080p, though.

It's 720P on Xbox One, and 900P on PS4. Atleast the beta was, I assume it's the same now.

It's a noticeable improvement from the beta. My guess is they've implemented dynamic resolution scaling so it's hard to say what it's hitting. Probably around 900 but not sure. The beta was blurry as hell but this is much better.

I'd play where your friends are and on whichever platform you prefer. The game currently doesn't have HDR on XB1S either so hopefully that'll look even nicer.
