Every time they patch this game the server and general UI performance gets worse. I feel like they're trolling us. My game pretty much froze for 2-3 minutes because I decided to open a battlepack mid-load.
Jumping back in this after a long time not playing because I have premium. I hate how I can never find a 40 or 48 player server in this game. 64 players gives me frame drops because of my cpu limit but 24 in Rush is silky smooth. I'd be perfectly happy to play in a 40 player server but it's impossible.

Only 18 more headshots to go. I should get these in no time.

Yeah that's kind of complete ass, playing on conquest is much better. Operations (well that particular one) is roughthis looks good but the rubber banding and lag made the 3 games I joined unplayable. Hopefully have this sorted soon

These menus lag even worse than before. How are menus so difficult to do?

Spent an hour in a frontline match. Got all the 20 headshots with the MP-18 optical, had over a 100 kills and somehow won the match after defending the last radio for 20 mins.
Feels like there should be some kind of timer?
FUCKING HOW!?
I gave up on that one tonight and KDR bombed for the stupid-ass "get 15 kills in a round" with the slug shotgun (did it camping once, found out it wouldn't count until I got the other shotgun
FUCK YOU DICE FOR NOT ALLOWING THAT SHIT TO COUNT BEFORE THE FIRST ASSIGNMENT ONE IS IN, YOU REPEATEDLY DO THIS SHIT.
FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU.
FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU.
I got like 4/6 of the guns unlocked today from playing for around 4 hours. Not too bad.

Yeah I wish 48 player matches on PS4 were filled. It's a shame because it plays like a dream and isn't as chaotic.
How are you guys liking the new maps?
It's been like that on PS4 since day 1 :\

Nice to see the menus are slower than they've ever been, following the Battlefront tradition of fucking shit up with each expansion pack.

There is supposed to be a time limit, but it's bugged.

Definitely.
Time it @ 30 minutes max. Who captured to most flags or destroyed the most M-COMs wins.

Anyone else have serious framerate issues on these new maps on ps4 pro?

Given each of the four maps a solid round or two, and I actually like them all. Early brainfarts:
Fort de Vaux: My least favourite of the bunch due to its chaotic bottlenecking reminiscent of Operation Locker and Metro, but it's the most coherent variation of this type of map and a little more on the wavelength of the kind of maps in Battlefield 3's Close Quarters pack. Despite the carnage I didn't actually feel overly bottlenecked even on a 64 player match, mainly due to the addition of outdoor pathing.
Verdun Heights: Didn't realise this was an infantry only map. I kinda feel it needs vehicles to break up the infantry play maybe a little bit, especially since the centre of the map is a hellzone, but it's not like Suez where it's restricted by linearity. The open sides and capture point layout can lead to interesting flanking. Love the escalating fire effect, by the match's end a red hue enveloping the battlefield.
Rupture: Hard to gauge. Only played this once and our team got utterly slaughtered. Seems okay though, and quite pretty with all the poppies growing. The bridges are an interesting touch, taking notes from Amiens but with a more open layout. Definitely need to give this one another crack, but it seems okay. The poppy growth height could make for some fun vantage point sniping.
Soissons: More or less Scar 2.0. Layout and flow is hugely reminiscent of the aforementioned, but not in a bad way. Centrepiece town guarantees some nice firefights, and some surrounding structures gives it a bit more condensed residential feel over Suez with less total levelling of certain areas. A bit more emphasis on some upper hill capture points tapering out at the peak.
All four maps look gorgeous, and the newly added tracks are nicely brooding as matches reach their climax. Verdun and Fort in particular go all Hans Zimmer towards the end, evoking a lot of intensity. I didn't have an immediate repulsion to any of the maps like I do Suez and Fao Fortress, or did Giant's Shadow.
Haven't had a chance to unlock and try any of the weapons. Hoping they don't take too long to unlock. New tank seems neato though, particularly its heavily slanted sides leading to a lot of ricochets.

I finally finished my MP18 headshots. It took around two hours. Every time I tried to ADS and get them, I couldnt. I got a majority of them just hip firing. I had around 20 MP18 kills when I started now I have 226 kills, lol. So now Im done with everything, but the shotgun and sniper. However, I dont give a shit about them.

Yeah at least the Loading times are faster for me on XboxOne lol
But the Menus are almost dying now when you try to do stuff xD
It is. I've gotten to 10 on Assault finally.

My longest was 75 mins. Gave up trying at the 40min mark and just wanted it to end.
Great gametype but there really needs to be a timer.

They're puzzle pieces. So battlepacks.
Ohh alright. Thanks !
Anyone doing the medal national order of lafayette? I'm on the last stage where you have to get 25 kills as a french tanker. Is it a bug that kills in a tank don't count but rather only kills on foot? If it's on purpose, dunno why DICE would encourage ditching your tank. It's hard enough as it is to get a tank in the first place!

I decided not to pick up the expansion. It's funny. I had been playing this game for three months straight but Horizon and Zelda have taken over my life. With Mass Effect coming next week, i think i am going to skip this for now.
It sucks because no one is going to be playing these new operations in summer. they really need to get away from paid expansions.

Frontlines isnt fun in its current state and I think Im done with it for now.
First, they need to fix the time limit. It should be 40-45 minutes max.
However, what is killing it more than anything for me is the player base. Its just full of a bunch of 90s/100s squads. Competitive BF1 is fucking frustrating. Its just a bunch of fuckers running around with Automaticos and A-10s. Thats not even counting all the fucking explosive spam. Shit feels like CoD because the kill times are so low in this mode.
At least in Conquest you see a wide variety of weapons and players skill levels. Furthermore, everyone isnt condensed into a small area. So explosives arent as annoying.

Since the DLC I'm experiencing severe packet loss and latency variation according to the little icons late in the day. It's 10 p.m. here atm and the game is basically unplayable. Does anyone else experience this? This never happened before. The game turns basically into a slide show.
Edit: Turns out it is only the Irish Servers which is basically 90% of the DLC ones...

You can pretty much do all your assignments in one Frontlines match.
So yeah, patch in that timer for Frontlines right away. It's supposed to be there, but Dice being Dice..
Wanted to try out a round, ended up spending and hour capping and re-capping 2 flags.
shit, its lit
Trench Hunter IS an assignment, FYI.

The assignment is for the slug.
Slug AND Trench Hunter. AFAIR. There were two shotguns in that class for the two unlocks.
