Amiens is a dream come true for me. Was rushing through the town with my friends and another squad and had warm fuzzy flashbacks about Allied Assault, BF1942 and Day of Defeat pre-retail.
Scar just blows my mind. Can't believe maps like that are actually playable with 64 players + vehicles + planes.

It's a mix of german and Austrians there... interesting.
Well I retract my criticism then.

Played Operations last night with a couple of GAF here on PC. I think Operations is gonna be the mode I play the most on release. I really enjoyed it. It's really intense the whole time, especially when you essentially have to stay in the trenches as anyone that tries to cross through no-man's land is dead. Though it does feel a bit unbalanced in that one side gets an insane amount of vehicles for the first couple of early rounds before both sides finally get a decent amount of vehicles.

the game is ok.. nothing really special. feels like battlefront but in a different setting.
Really? But it can't be anywhere near as shallow right?

Still have yet to get on four of the maps in the game. And none of them are on any servers, even going through filters and all that.
Really disappointing.

there is more game so far but the trial is supposedly limited. I am just concerned about post release content. It is fun just like battlefront is but I have a few questions about the content multiplayer wise.
the single player is a plus but I havent tried it yet
The trial is only limited to 5 maps and 2 missions. Rest opens up on tuesday.

The ground textures bother me in 4- amongst a number of things. The first thing I did when I played the beta was look at the ground and OMG that sand looked good!
I tried not to get BF1 because it eats up my game time and I wanted to play more different games, but heck, if other games can't win over my attention, then so be it. The point is entertainment anyway and I have a lot of fun with BF games.
I may try For Honor, but Andromeda is what I am excited about MP-wise. I don't even know what its MP is, but it's the next Mass Effect.

I really recommend people to watch this on YT about WW1. For every year starting in 1914 there is a vid. Its really well explained (great voice also) in about 12 min and has great graphics also so its easy to understand. I know alot of people didnt learn much about WW1 in school compared to WW2. And this really helps. Do yourself a favor.

Seriously, the trial hours left screen popping up every few minutes is pissing me off. I've died multiple times because of it.
Weird, I only ever had that when I had under 15 mins left.

If you're on XB1 do a factory reset but tick KEEP GAMES AND APPS and that'll sort it

Man this is $170AUD for the Ultimate edition on Origin - Anyone know of a promo-code or any place cheaper to get the Ultimate edition?

Looks pretty good, but tbh the graphics don't blow me away, especially coming from Battlefront. I don't think that's really DICE's fault, it's just the current state of the industry. The current consoles aren't that powerful, and a lot of processing power is going to be used for 4K. I hope the 4K transition will be over fast, and maybe HDR can bridge the time until the real next gen with better effects / lighting.
4K also is long overdue imo. Even 2560x1440 just doesn't cut it anymore. Without AA, the aliasing in modern Frostbite games is insane. FXAA is basically worthless, and TAA is too blurry imo. I liked it in Deus Ex, it was a good fit for the art style, and the sharpening helped also. For BF1 I'm currently playing at 2560x1440 with 150% resolution scale, which looks fine. It's a little bit disappointing that you have to run all those modern games at such high resolutions to get the clean / sharp look we had in older games, but that's probably the price we have to pay for new effects etc.
Hahahah wow.
So if someone merely finds the game "ok", he should be banned? Wtf?
Noticed in the beta people didn't.

I think that was now due to the Battlefront comment, which had been a long running troll since DICE got the series a few years ago; usually by people that haven't played either game saying that they are both copies of one another. Of course, although there original Battlefront games were copies of Battlefield, DICE's game was dramatically different, which is why comments like that aren't easily tolerated.

I used a VPN (Asia, Kamchatka for example is +12hrs UTC). Might be +20hrs for NA, depends on your location.

You close origin, log into your VPN (has to be a good one or else it will fail. I think I used Hotspotshield) and then you reopen Origin and just play the game once. You can close the VPN connection after you logged in so you keep your good ping while playing multi.
Didn't suck?
I had better luck in beta. Game is fun still just people piss me off when I'm playing with Randoms.

Are the camos as garish as bf4? Ugly vehicle camos especially ruined the visual design of the mp

This game is incredible.
It captures the feeling of being on a chaotic battlefield, or at least what I feel like it could be like.
That's why I like battlefield even though it can be random and you die a lot and lose, it's more about the experience than winning.

Sadly this seems to be how launches usually go.
Yeah, especially in conquest. Sometimes I just start running for my life with explosions around me and dudes getting shot.
I was facing off against 3 people and I got two of them. I was about to die so I ran back into the building and started healing. Guy comes bursting in as I'm prone in a corner, and caught me by surprise as I didn't expect him to rush me. I was reloading and he got a couple of shots on me but my Teammate killed him. I thought everything was cool and went outside just to be greeted by a tank that ran me over. My heart was beating so fast. Lol.
Yup
it was expected but I'm baffled that there's people that are around rank 20 and still don't play properly. Lol. Still having a lot of fun though.Hidden One

Suez is shit. They need to fix the map layout because the team that starts at A is at a disadvantage.
Better HUD for finding people in need of help + the super quick animations for reviving without needing to recharge means it's a lot easier to do than before.

Just ordered this for PS4. Haven't played a battlefield since bad company 2, so I am extremely excited. Especially since this has been getting a lot of buzz and I'm pretty much going in blind.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
This game on operations gives me goosebumps. It's the closest I've ever felt to playing the battle scenes from Saving Private Ryan. To the point where it's actually kinda creepy how overwhelming the atmosphere can be at times.
