Battlefield 1 Beta Impressions

Both those things are in. R1 for spotting. The revive symbol is horrible though. You can barely see it and I think someone has to ask for the rez for you to see it.

Ah, maybe that is why I haven't seen a symbol for revive. Saw a teammate go down, so I ran to him and revived but never even saw a symbol. Was confused, lol.

I'm not seeing any spotting. Maybe its just less "in your face" with the big doritos, or maybe I'm blind. Either way, it cleans up the HUD a bit!

As someone who has made Battlefield his primary shooter since BF1942, I am loving this. The changes to melee are great and really add to the intensity. I got my first kill by sword riding horseback. Was a great feeling. Loving the semi-auto the medic starts off with, and it feels like there is a slight penalty for using it in very close quarters which I think is fair.

No symbol when a player needs revived, spotting is either gone or Im just not seeing it, fall damage has been made more forgiving which was needed, the end of match screen is a good addition with many different types of rewards, the UI is awesome and very easy to navigate. Visuals and sound are never a problem with DICE so that goes without saying.

Map is meh. Its not Flood Zone bad, but its not the greatest either. E flag is like the E flag on Paracel Storm. So far out there.

Great job DICE! On PS4 by the way. Will purchase day 1 for PS4 and PC.

What do you mean spotting is gone?
 
The battlepickups seem pretty accessible. I've used all three. They all feel like a slight buff rather than a drastic one. I wasn't able to make good use of the anti-tank rifle though.
 
Exactly as I expected hero units are the dumbest fucking shit and have no place in this game.
 
I managed to get a semi decent framerate by turning Lighting down to low. Everything else is ultra at 1440. Definitely much optimization yet needed though. I also feel like the map is way too huge. The desert space between E and the other flags is vast as fuck. The permanent battle scars visible throughout the game are a neat touch though.
 
Any impressions from peeps with GTX 1060's yet? Based on the impressions from people with GTX 970's and GTX 980 Ti's, I'm thinking it is more than enough for max settings, 1080p and 60FPS.

They've fucked up the spacing between the flags, completely agree in regards to it not feeling like Battlefront at all. Because it doesn't, in the least bit. Shooting, movement, TTK feels nothing like it. I've played over an hour so I may not be the best of judge but I can tell instantly.

Damn, I knew it just by looking at the earlier streams. The capture points made no logical sense and seemed on top of one another. It's crucial they get the flag locations right if they are moving away from ticket bleed. Hope they release a new map before the end of the beta, like they've done in the past.
 
I love this grenade.

Really hope they put the the spotting back when you fire your weapon you show up on the mini map.

What? Firing your weapon doesn't get you on the mini map in red? Someone else was saying that spotting wasn't working. So, how do enemies get on the mini-map at all, or do they?
 
You can jump on and vault over horses. This is good. I lied on top of one and murdered like ten people.

I doubt it's possible, but I hope you can horsewalk. This would make it the best Battlefield game.
 
The new zoom in respawn is awesome. The frame rate for Conquest on PS4 is janky as fuck. I am dying lots to tanks. No customization for weapons, and default sniper scopes seem to be barely any zoom. Console FOV is rad.

Do five people fit in those tanks? And they're in the 12v12 Rush game mode? And I think our team gave the other team our tank? Oy vey.

I didn't like the feel of flying the planes but that holds for all console Battlefield. Hopefully this game works decently with a flight stick on PC.

Seems like it has the advanced controls from previous Battlefields, but max hipfire turn speed seems nerfed. And maybe I haven't set the right vehicle settings, I turned on "decouple" for vehicles but my tank would still turn where I was trying to aim. No. Don't do that. Bad Battlefield.

I said either spotting is gone or I wasnt seeing it. Spotting is in, I guess nobody was doing it, or its not as noticeable as it is in BF3 and BF4.

Battlefield is a pc franchise. Console players should consider themselves lucky to be getting anything at all.

PC players should consider themselves lucky that all the console sales give DICE a reason to make a new Battlefield at all with this kind of budget.
 
Super stoked to start playing when I get home from work. I've put 670 hours into BF4 so itll be nice to move on now lol
 
Some things I'm not happy about:

-Conquest and Rush timers, why? What's the point? Remove them and let the games finish how they are. 300 points to win in Conquest and 75 tickets to lose in Rush. There's no need for a timer.
-Rush feels really unbalanced, too many vehicles for such a small player amount.
-The new medic system sucks. You now have to alert any nearby medics to be revived... and that's it. If you don't do that, you can't be revived. Just go back to the old BF 4 system.
-Still not a fan of the Conquest scoring system. Needs to go back to the classic style.

It's good but it has a few big problems.

As for spotting, it's better now. You have to be far more precise so no more BF 4 style spam-spotting.

I have a 970 and was getting about 70 fps on Ultra 1080p, thinking you should be fine.
 
I don't know why, but my FPS are limited to 60 and there's a counter on the top right of the screen. Nvidia Shadowplay and Windows Game DVR are disabled. Help pls :/
 
My first 10mins, 0 and 8 I think, LOL.

I got killed by a Calvary horseman with his sword and a plane later kamikazed into me for no fucking reason and the pilot fucking lived too :@

Is this game like harder to aim then BF4? I can't aim for shit. How do you kill people, now I know how Snoop felt.

Go into video settings, mine was capped to 70 or 90 for some odd reason too, I changed it to 144. Nice they have options I guess.

How much weed had you been smoking? ;)
 
Tripwire mines are weird, cause there's no tripwire. They're just like differently shaped regular mines.

You can shoot apart wooden doors a bit, but you don't seem able to actually shoot them down or make a hole big enough to walk through. You still have to open them. This bothers me.
