BATTLEFIELD 1

https://www.battlefield.com/news/ar...ocial&cid=25774&ts=1478189015990&sf50647719=1

Following the launch of Battlefield™ 1, we’ve enjoyed witnessing how much fun you’ve had engaging in war on an epic scale. Today, we’d like to share our plans for ensuring that this fun will last. Coming up are new additions, exciting events, and gameplay tweaks based on your feedback.

HARDCORE SERVERS ARE COMING SOON

We know that elite Battlefield 1 players have been eagerly awaiting fighting on Hardcore Servers, and we’re just as excited as you are. They’re coming soon, so keep an eye out for more news in the near future.
WE’RE TWEAKING THE SUEZ MAP

Based on your input, we are changing the layout of the Suez map in Conquest to make the matches more balanced and the map size more fitting. We have expanded the layout to feature five instead of three flags. We’re also reducing the capture area size of the two control points located within the map’s villages (currently flag A and C) to create more dynamic matches. Furthermore, we’re adding one armored vehicle to each team’s base to give dominated teams a better chance to quickly get across the map and capture a control point behind enemy lines.

BATTLEFEST STARTS NOVEMBER 16

Bring out your calendars and mark November 16 with a big “PTFO” – a new Battlefest is en route. This week-long celebration of the Battlefield franchise will be packed with new activities, including log-in rewards, a livestream, a unique Battlepack revision, community missions, and much more – stay tuned for more information!

FOG OF WAR: INTRODUCING CUSTOM GAMES

As the first Official Custom Game, Fog of War will premiere at Battlefest. In this unique Team Deathmatch experience, you will be challenged by limited sight as you’re fighting in fog with the mini-map and soldier name tags turned off. You’ll find Official Custom Games in the Battlefield 1 Multiplayer menu.

NEW BATTLEFIELD 1 UPDATES COMING THIS MONTH

During the month of November, we will release a major update for Battlefield 1, filled with various tweaks and improvements. Among other things, we will be adding the Rent-a-Server Program, a new Custom Game and tweaks to matchmaking and server balancing.

GET READY FOR GIANT’S SHADOW

Giant’s Shadow is an upcoming new map for Battlefield 1 and will be arriving in December as a free* update. Apart from the info already available on the Maps page, we will be sharing more about this epic addition soon.

There’s plenty more in the works for Battlefield 1, and we can’t wait to experience these new features and updates with you in the coming weeks. See you on the battlefield!

*Battlefield 1 for applicable platform (sold separately) and all game updates required.

in other news, still getting crashes, still no fix on the official forums about it. I hit rank 51 last night though.

Starting to think they are not going to allow private servers? Is that crazy? I can't recall them holding the private option for this long previously.
 
i'm probably alone here but i like that Suez is only 3 flags. i like the change of pace from the other maps, and that it's more confined and you're continually facing the prospect of getting pinned back.

on an unrelated note: the Martini-Henry turns me into a giant hypocrite. it's a blast to use and also infuriating to be killed by :D

Got my rigotti scope for the medic class. Im gucci now. I can pop heads from a distance and drop a med pack to wait for the next victim. Thats what i wanted was a decent DMR. its usually 3-4 shots for a kill. 3 if im correct.
 
I suck. I still only make a handful of kills per round. I'm getting ready to give up. I don't know why I can't improve. Part of it *might* be I'm not used to the new mouse I'm using now vs the one I used to use.

That fair fight software was banning cheaters like crazy in the games I was in today, too.

Probably for that and a whole slew of other things. It's been brutal. I've been in situations where a dozen people get banned bam! bam! bam! just like that.
 
Yeah the fair fight ticker was constantly streaming last night. Nice to see.
 
I can't believe how so many ppl get banned. they pay $50 for a game then use cheats. there goes $50. they know its going to eventually get detected. the internet is weird.

I hope ea bans by mac and ip, but knowing ea I don't think they are smart enough.

I doubt there are many people who will spend 50 bucks twice to use cheats.

I remember when WarZ was at it's peak and you could get the game on Steam for like 10 bucks. MAN people would cheat, get banned, rebuy the game, cheat again, it was endless. Moral of the story - have a decent cheat engine and keep your game at 50 bucks as long as you can.

Does anyone know if the class level is capped at 10? My assualt and support class are both level 10 but they do not seem to progress futher. The progress bar does not fill at all but it shows the next level would be 11.
 
How's this game for casual players?

I've played a little bit of BF4 but I get smashed by people who seem to have amazing equipment that I can't unlock yet.

It's to be expected, but I just don't have the time to grind up the levels like I did when I was younger....

Since class rank 10 is the rank for the final weapon unlocks, yes. That's the cap, for now.
They'll more than likely raise the cap once the DLC drops and new weapons are added.


Chapeau Battlefield 1 is way easier. Have you played the new Battlefront ?
The two are near identical in terms of how the action and fighting happens. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, it's just that Battlefront and Battlefield 1 maps are more linear in my opinion than BF4. So it's definitely more casual.
 
Awesome news.... I have tried a bit of battlefront. It's kinda perfect as a casual gaming situation.

Ya battlefront had potential but they didn't do enough with it. Bf1 at least has a proper class selection and more than 10 guns to use.
 
finally hit the uninstall button. sadly. 98% of the games i've been in, aside from tdm, have been one team straight-up steamrolling the other... a fact not helped by players not defending and instead going to capture shit that will never be held. the game also began feeling very repetitive to me - much more than any previous bf title (and i've played mostly on since 1942). maybe the people saying it's much like a battlefront with a facelift are right. like Eshelmen said - it feels very linear and no longer dynamic. while i haven't touched battlefront, and don't plan to ever try it, i have never uninstalled a bf game after only two weeks. battlepacks are kind of a cheesy inclusion to me (i'd have preferred to have had different maps for different modes but suppose that was too much work for DICE/EA - could have even dropped the single-player campaign for this as who really is buying any bf title for that?), still chock full of people (as this thread testifies to) putting their k/d ratio up front (maybe why so many play scout), and sure there are weapon choices - yet in the end most are not competitive and are redundant while a fraction are what are used.

Interesting. My experience has been quite the opposite. Most rounds are within a couple hundred points, and many less than 100. I've had at least 3 rounds where it was a 1 point difference.

I have been steam rolled a few times, but every time that starts to happen I switch servers. Other times I give up and start dicking around, working on medals, or trying out new weapons.

I don't doubt it happens, as I suspect there is some fuckery going on with the matchmaking and team balancing system. I tend to be a bit more pro-active on my server choices, I don't hit the "Play Now!" option where it auto drops me into a server. I go pick one from the browser. I also tend to simply leave the server and find another one when it the balancer puts way too many idiots on one team.

I only play rush and dom and it does happen sometimes where my team will get buttraped like 13 to 100 and it's over. The upside is these matches usually last 10 minutes and if it's that savage they can be as short as 3-5 minutes. Honestly I've only played like 3 conquest maps since the game launched and I don't enjoy them the way I did BF3 which I almost exclusively played conquest.
 
I have zero sympathy for cheating morons. You go out of the way to spend extra on a cheat program, do you suck THAT much at the game? Not only should they get BF1 banned, they should be origin banned too. Worthless little turds.
 
I just wish they would go back to the style where you had to control majority of the points to gain tickets. The games are too quick now that you gain tickets without controlling the majority.

MAC and IP will do little they need to ban accounts all together. With that i am sure many of the cheaters are using stolen CC's or something to pay for the game anyways or stolen keys from a source.

Is this game worth $79? I looked awesome and i am really in need of a good FPS again and this looked like it would be pretty good.
 
Played operations for the first time. Everyone was a numb skull. Squads never worked together and would not align on objectives even if the dude was calling them. Got a lot of points though but I just did not feel the fun in operations. Will try some other matches to see if people actually come together in this game.

I am enjoying other modes like Conquest and Domination. Is it just me or is progression really slow in this one. I am only level 6 now after maybe about 3 hours of play.

cdkeys.com has it for $52. prices actually went up, I got it for $47 on oct 22

some like it some dont. I have rounds that are awesome. other times its just a cluster fuck. game mode, certain maps, and amount of players are a big part of whether I have a good experience or not.

I am Rank 28 with 28 hours of play time, I almost exclusively play Operations. You do get an absolute shit ton of points for Operations, especially when your team wins.

Anything that isn't within 100pts is a steamroll in practice. I've found that teamplay is nonexistent during primetime, but late sessions are much more interesting.

Damn. You're hard to please. :p The reason I state 200 point difference is somewhere around 100-200 triggers the behemoth depending on how much time is left or how many flags are capped. I've also seen a couple rounds where almost 200 points were caught up in the span of a few minutes simply from back capping by a few individuals.

FWIW, there is no defined number for "steamrolling". It's all relative to the individual. That being said, I can see why you would say 100 point difference.

Yup, just earned around 80000 points in two games, first match I had around 24000 points then won ans got a 2.5 multiplier. This game really rewards a very aggressive squad, tons of points for attacking a point and killing everyone in it lol.
 
Let's assume most players join a server by themselves(no pre-made squads) , play solo, join a random squad and that's that.

Can we also assume that the dominant team just happens to play better with each other at random, while being solo?

Or

Can we assume the dominant team is filled with at least one or more squads that are actively working together?


I feel we can only blame the game mechanics for so much, when in reality, we could also blame the players or in most cases a whole team.


A good squad of five can defeat a handful of shitty squads. I recently found a few players that fit my style. We've recently been squading up and my win loss record has gotten way better.
It's a damn fine game playing solo, but man is it a blast when you and buddies are tearing it up together.

One kill headshot with that? Nope. It takes three body shots, and at a distance a sniper has already moved their location.
Yeah, the only two classes that can kill with a single shot to the head are the Assault and Sniper classes.

As for the ml sweeper....the MP18, Automatico and shotguns will still dominate you.

I run and gun I think the sweeper sucks hot ass

I've been running assault a lot more and I get so mad with it. The smgs work great in close range but there was so many times I missed out or just about missed out on a kill that would of been a very easy kill with my sl sweeper. But the assault is great for clearing a building out, dynamite is stupid effective lol
 
I seem to always be placed on the attacking team.

Everyone skips waiting for a medic and we always lose around the half way point.

I think I am sitting around 25% win rate currently.

on the upside 80% of my randomly joined squads tend to sit at the top of the score boards and play the objectives togather well enough.


I have had two rounds now that lasted over a good hour and after ending awarded no xp or battle packs and kinda lagged into the next match not showing the end of game stats. very annoying...
