BATTLEFIELD 1

Been playing this a bit. Not a fan. Feels a lot more like CoD than Battlefield, IMO. Suppose I knew that going in from the alpha/beta. Obscenely inaccurate, floating weapons like CoD/CS and just odd gameplay mechanics all around. EX) MGs get more accurate the longer you shoot them, but overheat after ~20 rounds. We all know the exact opposite happens, but that odd overheating mechanic thrown in there to counter it is just awkward. They want you to hold the trigger down, but then penalize you for it.

Planes are actually not too bad though, and they fit in so much better than the fighters in BF3/4.
 
Watched a video that stated that bf1 tank rounds originate from a different point in 1st person vs 3d person camera. In 1P it originates from the gun, but in 3p the round originates from the camera. Supposedly people can shoot over walls and hills in 3p. Something to watch out for.
 
PSA found on reddit regarding Operations.

Synopsis,
1)Every time a defender dies instead of retreating successfully, the attackers get 3 tickets.
2)During this phase attackers do not lose tickets.
3)When a defender retreats successfully he gets full ammo and health

So in short, retreat!
 
Bah! Stop telling me what I have to do. Next thing you'll say is that I should PTFO rather than focus on my kdr. Or to capture G on Sinai or attempt to capture C first in Argonne Forest or Suez (especially if I have a vehicle), rather than just capture A along with 30 of my other teammates!

yup i can confirm this, it 3p you can shoot over rocks that someone is behind because you can see them. while as in first person you cannot.
 
Fuck this game. If they are lucky enough to land every hit fighters need literally 3 cool downs on their main guns to down an attack plane. But attack planes, they can shred you in a single pass and still remain nimble enough to turn on you and chase you down because you can't repair. You have to aim by pointing your entire vehicle, while the attack plane gunner has the same ground attack cannon as the zeppelin. All the attack pilot has to do is fly straight and level and have a gunner who doesn't need a seeing eye dog. On top of that, gunners can just fire through their own airframes. Seriously, DICE. If you hate fighters than fucking much just remove them. It's like you want people to own the sky and ground with attack planes, but don't want fighters to be equally efficient in their role.

It's almost like the only decent load out is the trench fighter.
 
The unlock system (and menu) is too grindy and confusing. Feels like a free to play game. Just got the assault class to level 2 and I have 350 war bonds saved up, thinking I'd be able to unlock the class 2 locked weapons Except I still can't unlock tier 2 assault class weapons. Wanted to give some of those shotguns a try. I spent the last 5-6 games specifically playing assault so I can try some tier 2 weapons... so what the hell else do you need to do? And now it is showing I still have halfway to go to get to tier 2 for assault. But I played and exited the game about a dozen times since and it was steadily moving up, get in an game pop up that my assault class is level 2, try to unlock weapons with my war bonds and now it is claiming I have half way to go.

Feels like Quake/Battlefront with all the power ups and one time use on rail, over powered vehicles to.
 
Or that bombers can die in three seconds to any noob on one of the 14,000 flak cannons, or that an attack plane can simply ram a bomber to kill it and fly away. Airplay in BF1 is horrid.
 
I have a question. Just a match ago, some idiot on my team wanted the AA gun, as the airship was up, and I was attacking it. He somehow managed to kill me. (It was not a hardcore server).
 
Maybe he killed you by destroying the AA emplacement, and then repaired it for himself? Probably using the support class for its repair tool and limpet.
 
Massive patch.

Spectator Mode
With great pleasure, we would like to introduce everyone to the new Spectator mode. In Spectator, players will be able to join a live BF1 match as an observer. From there, observers can switch between first-person and third-person camera views of all the players on the battlefield through our Player View mode, get an overhead bird’s eye view of the battlefield in Table Top mode, or fly a camera through the world using Free Cam mode.
Our goal was to improve Spectator from previous versions of Battlefield. We gathered feedback from the community and focused much of our efforts on improving the usability and flow moving from player-to-player and switching between the different view modes (Table Top, Player View, and Free Cam). Another key design emphasis for us was to make Spectator a viable tool for the community to create content which includes a moveable third-person camera, depth of field, and camera filters.

New Custom Game setting–StandardIssue Rifles
A new Custom Game option has been added: Standard Issue Rifles. In SIR all kits are granted access to their faction’s standard issue rifle. For example, the British are granted the SMLE MKIII. These rifles are not equipped with optics, and are intended to provide players with gameplay inspired by the WW1 trenches. As a Custom Game option, this can be enabled or disabled with other weapon types to create a variety of experiences. SIR is not available as part of the base game experience. We feel that the ability to equip SIR in vanilla would negatively impact the combat roles of the classes. As a clear WW1 fantasy, we hope that SIR scratches an itch for our broad and diverse player base.


Soldier
Movement
We’ve made several fixes and tweaks to the controls and input handling for the soldier experience. Most of these are bug fixes that should generally ensure a higher response level for players. This includes fixing the inability to sprint out of crouch and prone in certain situations and fixing issues with toggle zoom. While we are confident we have improved the situation, we are eager to hear the community’s feedback to see if there are any outstanding or new issues that can be discovered.
Aim Assist
An update has also been made to the controller Aim Assist system in BF1. We now require the player to be actively giving aim input in order to get aim assistance. It was possible in some previous cases to get help on a target when simply strafing past them, which was unintentional. We’ve also exposed additional control options on console, including the ability to tweak the central dead zone. Please note that setting the dead zone too small may introduce unintentional aim movement. We have not made any adjustments to the snap-to-target feature of our Aim Assist. While we are aware there are players who are actively petitioning for the reduction or removal of Aim Assist, we feel that this would be to the detriment of the global player community. As this is an area of high passions, we expect additional feedback on our Aim Assist systems to surface, and we are open to that feedback. We are especially interested in appealing to those players who wish to play without assists, and are sensitive to their needs.


Vehicles
Vehicle Deployment
This update includes some new additional logic to address the problem of spawning as a Tanker, Pilot, or Cavalry soldier without your mount. We have also made some fixes that should prevent the player from getting the incorrect kit when spawning into a vehicle, for example spawning as a Cavalry soldier when spawning into a Tank. In some extreme cases, the player maybe blocked from spawning if a vehicle cannot be spawned. This can happen due to positioning of other soldiers and vehicles in the world, and should be rare. Previously the player would be spawned without the vehicle; in the new case, the spawn flow will be aborted and the player given a “spawn not available” message.
Landship
Looking at the way the game is played, the Landship is underrepresented in gameplay. We wanted to enhance the role of the tank as a teamplay vehicle, as well as give additional incentives for tank drivers to pick up and play the Landship. The biggest change here is the ability to allow teammates to spawn into the Landship directly, like they do the Heavy Tank today. This will help keep the Landship full of teammates, in a way that makes it a far more effective vehicle. We've also applied buffs to the driver abilities and the armor of the Landship, making it as armored as the Heavy Tank. The shape of the Landship still makes it easier to knock out treads and weapons compared to the Heavy Tank.
Air Vehicles
Several adjustments have been made to the combat experience for Air Vehicles. We’ve removed an exploit that allowed instant killing of airplanes with the Ranken Darts; these are intended as ground attack weapons, not air to air weapons. Fighter airplanes now have slightly higher damage to their MGs overall and Bombers take more damage from MGs specifically. Rockets have also received a velocity boost to make their usage more consistent. Combined with some additional reductions in overheat, this should make Fighters more viable in the air to air role without having to resort to exploits or lucky rocket hits. We’ve also reduced the damage of rear gunners in airplanes, in order to prevent players from easily switching to the rear gun and killing pursuers. This tactic is, of course, still viable, but now is more difficult to perform, making it a skill move. The damage reduction should not be extreme enough to significantly decrease the intended teamplay benefit of having a full airplane.
Line of Sight
We’ve added a “Head Glitching” style fix to vehicles that prevents players from shooting over objects that block the weapon’s line of sight. This is most noticeable in 3P, and is intended to fix players being able to fire their tank at targets while remaining entirely behind cover. It is our intent to provide a balanced 1P and 3P vehicle experience, and this fix goes a long way towards ensuring 3P does not become the dominant play style.
Detailed Vehicle Changes
• TankGewehr now does increased damage, from 120-150 to 160-180. Change is on both the Landship and Tank Hunter. Damage against planes is virtually unchanged
• Landship mortars have had their range increased slightly
• The Mortar Pattern of the Landship now has 5 seats, adding two additional side LMG seats to the package
• The Squad Support Pattern of the Landship now features a front firing 20mm cannon like the Light Tank Flanker Pattern, instead of an LMG
• The Landship now takes the same damage as the Heavy Tank
• Decreased amount of health restored by emergency repairs on the Heavy Tank from 30% to 20%
• Increased the amount of health restored by track repairs on the Landship from 15% to 20%
• Decreased amount of health restored by emergency repairs on the Landship from 30% to 25%
• Decreased damage of Case shells against planes by 50%
• Reduced stationary AA range from 400 m to 334 m
• Fixed inconsistent damage of plane rockets against other planes
• Reduced plane rocket impact damage from 120 to 100
• Increased plane rocket initial speed and reduced time to live

• Increased Bomber Killer MG damage by 3%
• Decreased Airship Killer MG damage by 18%
• Decrease plane tail gunner damage by 23% (far) to 42% (close) and sped up damage drop-off slightly
• Reduced boat torpedo range to approximately 400 m, matching the behemoth AA range


Weapons
Shotguns
Shotgun balance has been addressed in this update, with the primary goal of evening out the advantages and disadvantages of each type of shotgun. We noticed that some shotguns were unintentionally strong at certain distances, most obvious with the Model 10-A Hunter and Factory, which could kill a full health target at long range (for a shotgun). Players were naturally preferring these shotguns over others. To prevent this, we reduced the range for the buckshot variants of the M97 Trench Gun, Model 10-A and Sawed Off Shotgun, reducing the maximum one-hit kill distance. To make the M97 Trench gun more attractive we added an extra pellet to all variants and slightly improved the damage drop-off for the Sweeper variant. The Backbored shotgun variants had their range improved, as previously you took too big of a hit for the improved recoil. We increased the accuracy of the 12g Automatic to allow users to make use of its high rate of fire more effectively. Tweaked crosshairs will make it easier to land your damage consistently for all shotguns.
LMGs
Adjustments were made to have LMG performance much more consistent at close and medium range. We tweaked how much inaccuracy you get when you start firing an LMG while aimed. Previously, Optical configurations had a significant advantage over the rest unless a bipod was used. Now the accuracy of the second shot is the same for all variants of one LMG and just slightly above the level previously held by the Optical setups. Using a bipod will still give you a significant boost to your accuracy while firing. Additionally, we added a small bonus to horizontal recoil while aimed with Optical variants, improved reload timers to better match the animations, and made the Lewis Gun overheat slower.
Bayonets
Players may now bayonet charge while reloading or when out of ammo with their weapon. The reload will be aborted if the player still has rounds in the magazine. If the weapon is empty, the reload will restart automatically at the end of the charge.
Detailed Weapon Changes
• Reduced reload time for the Lewis MG from 3 to 2.85 s and 4.5 to 4.2 s for fast and slow reload to better match the animations
• Slowed down Lewis MG overheat from 35 to 50 bullets
• Increased Madsen MG fast reload from 2.45 to 2.65 s to better match the animations
• Reduced tactical fast time for the BAR from 2.9 to 2.8 s to better match the animations
• Increased MG15 reload time from 4.3 to 4.45 s to better match the animations
• Corrected an error where LMGs and rifles zoomed in too fast when used with iron sights and 2.00x magnification
• Increased the throwing velocity of the Light AT Grenade to the same value as used by the Frag Grenade
• Improved accuracy and recoil of M1903 Experimental
• Made revolvers and the Howdah Pistol recover faster from dispersion
• Flares no longer set the player on fire immediately after firing them while looking down
• Reduced the damage of mortar shells when hitting an object immediately after firing
• Fixed Martini-Henry dealing too much damage to most body parts. It is now affected by a 0.9 multiplier to the lower torso and upper arms and a 0.75 multiplier to the legs and forearms, like the other rifles with sweet-spot mechanics
• Martini-Henry now resupplies 5 bullets at a time
• Reduced No.3 revolver reload time from 2.666 s to 2.3 s
• Increased No.3 rate of fire from 150 rpm to 164 rpm
• Reduced Repetierpistole M1912 aimed stationary dispersion from 0.4 to 0.3
• Reduced Repetierpistole M1912 horizontal recoil from 0.8 to 0.5

• Increased Hellriegel horizontal recoil from 0.76 to 0.8
• Reduced MP18 first shot recoil multiplier from 2.1 to 1.8
• Improved shotgun crosshair size and scaling
• Sawed-Off shotgun now resupplies 4 rounds at a time
• Reduced 12g Automatic dispersion increase per shot from 0.3 to 0.15
• Fix for dispersion of Model 10-A Hunter decreasing too quickly
• Fix for dispersion of Model 10-A Factory decreasing too slowly
• Moved up damage drop-off from M97 Trench Gun Hunter, Model 10-A Factory and Hunter by 1
• Reduced 12g Automatic post reload delay from 0.5 to 0.3
• Improved hip fire of M1903 Experimental
• Changed SMGs and LMGs to use damage curves
• Huot, Lewis, M1909 and BAR minimum damage increased from 21 to 23
• LMG damage drop-off happens at farther distances
• Reduced effect of suppression on LMG vertical recoil

Gadgets
Mortars
We’ve reduced some of the inaccuracy added by the last update. Mortars will be more accurate when placed, and slightly more accurate during sustained fire. The damage amounts remain unchanged. We felt that it had become too difficult to hit even large targets like tanks, and the inaccuracy in combination with the damage adjustments to the airburst mortar reduced mortar effectiveness more than intended. In addition, in Hardcore players will now get the Large Map for aiming indirect fire weapons.Spotted players will not show on the map unless Minimap Spotting is enabled in Custom Games.
Syringe
We’ve added a short cool down between syringe uses and added the ability to ignore the cooldown if near an ammo crate. Together a Medic and a Support can team up to quickly revive a large amount of soldiers. The cool down is minor, and is intended to only prevent the near instant revive of several soldiers in a very short time. Reviving a single soldier is unaffected. We feel this is a good balance to prevent “revive trains” from a single Medic, while not reducing the usefulness of revive, with a bonus of additional teamplay.
Ammo &Medical Crates
Medic and Support players should find it much more reliable and useful to deploy their Large Ammo and Medical crates. We’ve added additional healing and resupply power to those crates, so they serve more teammates before being depleted and being destroyed. Additionally, we’ve added a feature that will deploy the crates at the player’s feet if the space immediately in front is blocked by an object or slope. This should drastically reduce, but not entirely eliminate, the situation where a crate fails to deploy. It is still possible for the player to occupy a space where the crate cannot be deployed, for example a very tight corner or a steep slope.
Explosive Icons
We’ve updated the in-world icons for explosives to properly reflect their team, and to fully scale over distance so they don’t unnecessarily dominate the field of view, especially at close range. We’ve also identified an issue whereby it can be difficult to determine if a nearby grenade is infront or behind the player. This update does not include a fix for the issue, but we hope to address it in the future. Finally, we’ve implemented proper scaling on the large crates for both medic and support players, so their icons are not as obstructive at longer ranges.

Hardcore
Thanks to the Community for their feedback on Hardcore mode, we’ve introduced some additional changes in this Custom Game. A large map is now available, as in the base game. In Hardcore the map is will not show the position of objectives, players, etc. We intend for players in Hardcore to only have UI interfaces for things a real soldier could reliably know, for example: how many grenades he has left, but not how many bullets are left in his magazine. For this reason, we have decided to continue down the path without having kill confirmations or a kill log in Hardcore. However, we have added Team Kill confirmations as a nod to the need of accessibility and player learning. In BF1 we changed Hardcore from the reduced health of BF4 to increased bullet damage, in order to retain balanced explosion damage. In this update we’ve adjusted the damage amount in Hardcore from 200% to 125% damage. While on paper this looks like a huge change, 125% damage will still create far more lethal up close damage, for all kits, but will prevent bolt action rifles from being one hit kill at all ranges vs all body types. Other weapons will retain their intended ranges, while still being far more lethal than the base game. These changes help us steer Hardcore down the path of feeling like a faster, meaner, more realistic base game

Stability& Performance

You're allowed to do that while someone else is on it though? For HC that's fine, but that seems kind of a bug on SC.
 
Honestly, if they don't fix SLI which they broke in the LAST patch I couldn't give a shit about this game or the update.

Someone will have to let me know if the new custom game mode is any good. This might actually be the BF1 I wanted.

I am happy they are improving the LMGs. They are a joke as is and the Lewis works best at point blank without even aiming. Not much of a support weapon at all. One of the big killers of the war, and I know BF isn't realistic, but it is laughable to see 2-3 guys openly run out in front of a guy lying prone with an MG and only take a bit of damage. The damage drop off was obscene and the inaccuracy of the first shots made it almost worthless at range.
 
Quick question.. do the "optical" models of weapons (BAR, Selbstlader, etc.) have scope glint?
 
Good on SLI. I was planning on adding another 980 when they get really cheap. Trying to stretch my 2500K another generation.
 
I would add another Fury X, but I've decided against buying another 4gb card. 4gb hasn't seemed to bite me in the ass yet, but it just doesn't seem like a good move for the future. Very tempted now that you can find them around $300 though.

Meh, for a little more you can get a 1070 and run circles around a Fury X. Not to mention the resale value will be nonexistent on the latter.
 
I'm already running one Fury X. Used to have two 290x in crossfire. Waiting for the next big thing here.
 
^^^ Had my fill of sli/xfiah rigs and theassociated issues with each. As long as I can get a single card fast enough to get me 60fps I'm sticking with that.
 
The only reason I entertain the thought occasionally is because I'm running 3x 27inch /60hz panels in eyefinity. I played the campaign on ultra setting with no problems, but I dialed settings back to maintain 60 fps in multiplayer.

It's more like a $300 luxury than a necessity, so I can't make myself pull the trigger. /always wondering about the next gen.
 
I was trying to get my assault class to level 10 yesterday while playing the new map. I ran out of ammo with my Automatico, so I picked up an MG15 Suppressive from a corpse. Man, DICE was kind to this one during the buff.


And, Omfg.....
 
Doing my bi-weekly check in on BF1: any news on updates to the rental server program to give admins actual control over their servers? Kick/ban, map cycle, auto balance etc? Or is RSP still completely useless.
