The main issue I am having is with matchmaking. I still have not got into an operations game after countless times trying and I also have a hard time trying to find quick matches. Hopefully they can fix it by launch.

But other than that I am loving it. In my opinion it is the best looking game I have ever played and the fun factor, gameplay, destruction and all out crazyness in the multiplayer is just immense.

By the way, I got an Operation to work last night. Took about an hour or so to complete the operation. Opted for 64 players. The Operations have a narrated story about the war, and video intros. The areas of maps at each moment are small, but open up as the war pushes in different directions. Your troops die you start to run out of people, so you'll hear "100 troops left" etc.

It's chaos and AMAZING. I had no expectations for this mode, but as we started storming over the trenches a long time into the battle I realised; I haven't played anything like it for a long time. It was a battlefield.

Games great but spawns are still broken as hell just like beta and early battlefront

You can clear a room and have enemies spawn directly behind or in-front of you. I've had multiple enemies spawn directly on me, nowhere near a cap. That and snipers are still everywhere. Performance seems worse too. The fun still outweighing my annoyances though

e-yea spawning is dogshit lol

I am glad when those terrible ea access only players are soon gone.
Just battled 10 min on E and F our home flags with my buddy and we didnt see 1 teammate. They were all rushing into D and C like COD players.

Really debating switching to the early enlister edition now on xb1. Think its worth it? Is it basically for the extra days (my access time is almost up) or more than just a few skins?

I bought it for the extra time, but I love the Lawrence of Arabia sniper skin. Looks amazing. the skins are just a nice bonus imo

Only an hour left on trial, then the wait until Monday :(

Operations are the most fun I've had with a FPS in many, many years.

I've basically only played a mustard gas lobbin' Medic though, should really play the other classes.

You are talking about regular Battfield players. Seeing people play like that isn't caused by EA Access trial.

Support + ammo pouche + gas grenades is one of my favorite way to play. Just spam grenades everywhere lol. Good thing they added a smsll cooldown to replenish the grenades though. In the beta it was almost instantaneous.

Jim2point0's shots are amazing as usual. I still have a folder full of your Witcher 3 shots that I rotate around as backgrounds.

Played through the campaign of Through Mud and Blood and had a good time.

Through Mud and Blood Spoilers:
The part where you have to get out of the tank and scout ahead was awesome! It really felt kinda nerve wracking trying to get through the fog and smoke in the forest and trying to stealth plant as many C4's on the stationary guns as possible.

The mission where you have to get the spark plugs was really awesome. Creeping from windmill to windmill sniping people was a really awesome change of pace and gave me some really cool Medal of Honor vibes.

Gonna save the last 8 hours of time I have for tonight to try and play with some buddies.

Yeah, only played one match of it with 40 players on Xbox one, but Operations was the highlight of this game so far, so epic with atmosphere, I was honestly blown away playing it at times. Just wish it worked since then :/

C4 wasn't invented until 1956. The remote explosives in BF1 are bundles of Dynamite

I haven't found the community of one popular online shooter to differ significantly from any other. There are poor sports in every online game.

I am surprised that they're saying easy instead of ez. Makes me think bf's community probably skews a little bit older if not any more mature. It has been my experience that people who grew up texting are less likely to spell words properly anywhere they can use an abbreviation.

No, it seems like it's actually gonna be pretty good. I wish I could keep going with it but the Origin Access only let's you play the prologue and first section of campaign which seems to be about 2 hours or so total. I did them on Hard and was having a great time. There are some really great moments in it that surprised me coming from Dice. I'm actually looking forward to finishing a Battlefield campaign. Weird...

I saw people mentioning "extra hours" via early enlisted bundle, which I have. So if I sign up for origin access, how many hours do I have to play until the 18th when I get full access?

BF4 has a pretty awful community so this doesn't surprise me much. I just hit H and turn off the chat.

Just sad.

On another note, my trial just ended. Now 2 days of waiting

Why do people dislike Sinai? I love the look and style of map tbh
Click to expand...

Bad flag spacing, mountains that encourage camping and sniping, and an E flag that is so far out of the way I never go there and will never go there. Spawned there once by accident, had to spend what seemed to be an eternity running to D.

Its not Flood Zone bad, but its what I'm hoping the worst map in the game.

Are there any map overlays/overviews out or available? I am curious which one is the next Operation Metro so I can blacklist the shit out of it.

Sinai is such an awesome Battlefield map. With the exception of D (which any who dare go to it is asking for death), every single point works excellently in many different ways and are fun to play. It has it's own corners of the map for infantry, while the rest are great vehicle playgrounds, with a lot of great ground design for horses to gallop and navigate smoothly and swiftly (especially A and F), and E is even big enough for planes to capture and contribute to the game.

It seems a lot of people that didn't like the map mentioned that they dislike running from E to D. Why would one even do that? Seems like a problem for people who want to play only infantry; which is a problem because that's only half of Battlefield's basic gameplay.

So the XB1 versions seems to have received some graphics improvements from the beta? Dose the screen still look like it was covered in vaseline?
