Yeah that thing is absolutely crazy. I guess I'll try and get some use before it gets toned down lol

Also, I really wish Medic and Support were forced to always have the ability to heal and drop ammo. I dont want to play with jerks who abandon these gadgets and go full lethal to play selfishly for themselves.
I also really wish they'd just drop ammo and health automatically after a while, to combat players who have ammo and health but dont drop them for whatever reason.
I hear there is some kind of ammo/health zones around maps too, like in Killzone 2.
BTW, we know Sinai Desert had Elite pick ups, but what about other maps? Any cool reasons to hold a flag? Air raid stations maybe? Or supply drops, etc? Exclusive vehicles perhaps?

For example, Operation Kaiserschlacht. The German team starts with ~150 tickets and are attacking 2 objectives. In order to progress, the German team must hold onto both the objectives at the same time. The British team must stop the German team and can recapture an objective. If the German team complete this, they move on to another 2 or 3 objectives, repeat this until the German team pushes the British team across the entire map. Then there will be another map and the same process begins again.
However if the British team bleed the German team out, that is the first wave of attack. The German team will get another attempt and start with an airship. For this example, the German team has three waves of attacks. Don't know if its always three waves for the other operations.

I'm so jealous of the people that get to play it now before Friday, but I just can't justify spending more to play early.

It really does sound amazing. Cover a bevy of perspectives, dont get tied to an overarching narrative (because DICE suck at it), allow for more creativity by doing isolated chapters. Sounds absolutely amazing.
I am so hopeful they do more. I bet we'll see a surge of WW1/WW2 games because of DICE. It's so freaking refreshing and it's clear from impressions that people are incredibly happy with something new.
This is never more clear than with the maps. Truly BATTLEfields. They all sound so freaking memorable.

How does VPN unlocking work? Exit origin, connect VPN, boot origin, open bf1, then shut down everything, disconnect vpn, play normally
Si or no?

Why are you pocket watching? who cares how a grown man or woman spends there hard earned cash. I spend 20 on my nephews candy without even thinking about it.
How long did it take and how's the replayability?

God damn operations is so much fun.
Just wish it was in the server browser

That would be amazing if Activision had to respond to BF1 by making WWI/WWII games; the reverse of what happened between EA/Activision last gen after MW.

Does Amazon prime still do release day delivery? I went to order this game but Amazon said I wouldn't be able to get it until 10/26. What gives?
Absolutely not. I get 80fps average in a 1070 in 1440p. I can get close to 60 in 4K.

So I guess the new Battefield Companion app launches tomorrow? Is it available for anyone where tomorrow (18th) is already today?
I wanted to play with it, but can't find it in the store.

I should have been a bit clearer. I know my GPU is more than fine, it's my cpu I'm wondering about.
A good 5 hours. Replayability is okay. There are alot of sections where you can decide how to approach them.
The replay value should be fairly decent since each mission is essentially a self contained mini story that lasts for about an hour.

I've seen it asked a few times but no answer yet.
Anyone know which part of the game downloads first on PSN?
Useful info for people with slow internet.

Can't speak for others, but I've been playing a lot as sniper lately because I'm trying to do one of the medals (Get 20 kills using a single action rifle, get 10 headshots with a single action rifle, and get 5 kills with a single action rifle in a single life) and knock out the rank achievement (Reach Rank 2 as a Scout) so I don't have to play a whole lot as a sniper later on cause it is my least favorite class out of the 4 main classes.

Go to your library and search for the game.

Awesome, thanks for that.
If you bought from GMG, I assume you'd get your key later in the week (the Standard Edition releases Friday).

First days are always rough. I'm a sniper! Got to get a good k/d 360z. They'll get weeded out the longer the game is out.

I am ready! I would love for them to do WW2 next and then Vietnam after.
Okay cool. Ty!
No.
When you get into main menu with VPN on just alt tab to Windows, disable VPN, alt tab back into the game and play.

I don't think it's up yet. It's usually added down the line.
I hope Battlefield 1.5 is set in WW2 and uses same multiple fronts approach as BF1 is doing. Seeing Pathers and Shermans rolling around and hearing clip pings of Garands with these graphics and audio would be dream come true.

Yeah. I had to have the VPN still on, launch the game, THEN close the VPN.

A couple of hours ago it wasn't, is it getting adjusted though? All I ever saw on the PSN store was that it was a midnight EST release on 10/21 for the regular copy and "play on 10/18 with the early enlister edition".
