St Quentin Scar and Amiens are really good maps. Fao I think is a bit better than Sinai desert but average overall. Suez is pretty disappointing. Feels like it should/could be so much more. Kind of disappointing that DICE would make a 3 CP map again for conquest. Was hoping a remake or re-imagining of 2142 Suez Canal.

Been really enjoying the game. Hopefully come Tuesday I can get into some operation games, with ea access only players the matchmaking for it is spotty right now.

I'm kinda disappointed with the performance on Xbox One. I know there is a lot going on sometimes, but the frame-rate dips are very noticeable on the more open maps.

Tempted to hold off and see how the PS4 Pro version runs.

They both have terrible CPUs so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

From someone who hasn't played BF for more than 10-20 hours since BC2, this is the best in the series, hands down.

Damn, knowing me I'm going to keep my preorder in for this.

I'm gonna be on PS4, as long as the fps is stable I'll probably get it.

Only thing that suck I think is the battlepacks. I've played almost 4 hours and still no battlepacks. Still haven't got a clas to level 1 either. The gring will suck.

How is the performance in Operations on the XB1? Can it handle the 64 man one relatively well? I haven't been able to get into one yet.

At least overwatch has the decency to not lock gameplay items behind progress

That being said if it's a normal progression system I won't mind, however BF4's and BF3's was fucking overkill. But how does the new battle pack system work? Do they at least have a progression bar for class levels now unlike the beta?

In my ten hours. I was about to get medic, assault, and pilot to level one. I only got two battlepacks, but I really don't care about skins, so that part is whatever for me.

The BF1 battlepacks are just skins and puzzle pieces to unlock 2 melee weapons.

The unlock is basically tied not to overall rank but rather class ranks (goes up to 10).

Very happy with performance on my 970, this and Gears washing the taste of Horizon from my system

Holy shitballs, just played a round on Argonne Forest. I still can't believe that something that looks so good can run at 120+fps.

On xb1 with a 47" tv. Not particularly far away from it but man I have trouble spotting enemies. Ive got bad vision. Even with glasses its tough. I remember people talking about fov or something in the beta but never tried to play with it. Would that help? I wouldn't even know how to properly adjust that though

Just bought the Ultimate Edition on PC and I have no idea why. I feel like I'll be disappointed after playing Red Orchestra and Verdun. I liked the realism.

At least it'll be easier to convince people to buy and play.

Wow, I'm really impressed with the single-player.

How do these EA Access vault games work? Assuming like Xbox Gold and PS+ where I lose them if I stop paying the monthly fee?

A wider FOV could help marginally, but I dont think it would help much. Everything can look a bit smudged on the XB1, players blend right into the environment. I think it is more to do with the resolution the game is running at, but I could be wrong. Maybe try turning down motion blur?

Outa time on PC. Definitely buying this.

Man, the PC version is fucking awesome. 1440p, all settings at Ultra, solid 60 fps with maybe 60-70% GPU usage even in 64-player games. Didn't experience a single dip below 60 in MP or SP. So good.

Really like the single player compared to the trash that was BF4.

Every time I get into an Operations match, it boots me back to the main menu for Operations?

Would love to know how much money EA has made from Origin Access subscriptions this past weekend. Can only imagine the amount of suckers(me included) that eat that sort of thing up.

I think their both assholes and extremely clever for doing that.

I'm actually considering staying sub'd. This seems like a solid deal.

Same here. I was only able to play conquest and domination. Couldn't find any other games. I only played one round of operations before the game froze and I got sent to the xbox dashboard.

Off-topic but do you need an active xbox live sub to be able to play EA access games?

This early access shit is so clever. So much positive buzz resulting in people paying more to get in early


I got standard for $50 CAD but the wait is hard

Haha true. I don't mind the driving but the long, horrible, unskippable live-action cutscenes really turned me off.

So what's your go to settings on PC for BF ? Downsampling + 60 fps or 1080/1440p @ 144hz ?
Click to expand...

Only have a 60 hz monitor, so downsampling with everything maxed. Still have plenty of headroom.

GTX 1080 @ 2100 mhz
i7 5820k @ 4.4 Ghz
16 gbs ram
