Game looks freaking gorgeous even on xbox one. They fixed that bluriness that was really nasty in the beta. And it doesn't have any kind of filter like bf 3 or bf 4 so the colors just really pop.

Not surprisingly SP is shit and only Entente powers gg EA what a shit product



On a side note I just finished watching Season 1 of the Xfiles for the first time ever, I assume that's where your avatar is from <3. Good shit man

First few seasons of X Files are amazing. I prefer the one off episodes.

Just watched the season 2 finale last night.. cant wait to see what season 3 is all about. The one off episodes are great so far as well, maybe only one or two stinkers.

Playing the 10 hour trial on PC... I'm really enjoying this a lot. They're doing a lot of good quality of life improvements which are cool. Stuff like, showing the perimeter around the flag which you need to be in to start capping it. Showing your field of view in the minimap which narrows and expands when you aim. Showing a little gauge that indicates how many of each team is at a capture point.

And it feels real good. Reminds me of Bad Company 2 a bit.

I understand the trial is limited vs. the full release at least in maps. I hope also in weapons because there's only like 2 weapons to choose from for Assault. Also - I don't fully understand the customization stuff. There's multiple zoom modifiers but I can't tell if they are just literally zooming in your view? Does this game not have the weapon customizing the previous ones do? It's weird.

I know the trial at least limits the SP campaign to the first "war story". I kinda want to keep playing that. It's super hokey but I was interested in it. I like that it is a series of small stories of different soldiers.

It says "test out every weapon, vehicle and class" but the explanations of how everything (and what could and couldn't be and how you applied it permanently) unlocked during the beta was weird too.

All the guns are in the trial. There are just less guns compared to the last few games. Part of that is due to it being world war 1 and part of that is by design. They will add more during DLC and maybe some freebies down the road in general.

For the assault class there are 3 base submachine guns and 3 base shotguns. Within those you have variants on the base. Like the Automatico has  3 variants. Storm, Trench, and Factory. And those 3 variants are basically how you customize the gun as they each specialize in different areas of combat.

Some people don't like that coming from Battlefield 3 and 4 which were loaded up with guns and customization options. Personally I like it as it allows weapons to be unique versus having a million overlapping guns. It makes the combat much more logical for me when I go against other people in a rock paper scissors model.


Here is every weapon in the game.

And this video explains how the weapon system works in the assault class.

Played for 4 hours last night with a buddy. The first hour was spent figuring out how to get in a game together (this is both our first experience with XBL on the One). After we did then it was spent figuring out how to talk to each other. Apparently the headset that came with my Xbox doesn't work because the microphone never did that working. After that I could not get into another multiplayer game for like 30 minutes. It was very, very frustrating.

Add this to the fact that my Xbox One controllers won't work wirelessly and I'm not too impressed with the ease of use factor of this Xbox vs the last one.

That said, in the beginning of the night we just got murdered over and over again, but by the end of the night we were communicating (via cell phone) and unstoppably capturing flags l and it was so, so fun. Stoney says this a lot, but Battlefield really is a different game when playing with friends. I didn't want to stop.

Best part of the night was me in an airship spotting people and bombing the hell out of them while he drove around in a tank below me capturing flags. Eventually my airship got shot down but that was a good 15 minutes of A++ gaming.

It was bloated, but a lot of it was hidden in the customization menu to where you didn't really need to worry about it unless changing mid-game. Here (at least by the beta, I dunno if they fixed it in the final) the accessories you put on the gun are hardlocked and so you have a "bloated" menu of the same gun just under a different name with a different loadout. It's :yuck

Customization isn't as bloated compared to BF4 and BF3, feels like a good balance between those two and Bad Company 2. In general, this feels like the next step after BC2 in design. Buildings and cover matter a lot with how the maps are laid out.

Gas grenades are one of the best tools at evening things out. Damage players instantly, force campers to hip fire reducing their ability to ADS, create barriers and traps instantly. Frag grenades are next to useless compared to the gas, people still haven't caught on how great gas grenades are.

There's a general feeling of spectacle and awe at all the shit going on, which BF3 and BF4 didn't really have.

Did they make the hip-fire not laser accurate? You can put the Support with Gas Grenades into the mask, and just laser PEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEW people to death while chucking the gas grenades in the beta. It was very very Battlefront-y IMO. It kinda made the gunplay feel "off" from BF3/4 for me. There's folks that say it's a Battlefront mod, and while I don't 100% agree, I can agree that gameplay-wise it does feel kinda Battlefront-y and not Battlefield-y.

1. Use cover 2. Don't spawn on top of another player. (It can be a good thing to do, but its risky) 3. Don't stand out in the open not moving. 4. Look both ways (for enemies) when crossing the street.

I could go on and on, yeah sometimes you get picked off randomly from out of nowhere but the same can happen in literally any FPS in existence.

ok? All BFs are fun. Hardly an accomplishment. I mean I guess, but I find it hard to be frustrated when 3,4, and now 1 are so much better than BC2. Battlefield 3's DLC maps were incredible. 4 had good base maps with pretty much every DLC pack save the navy one being good. So far for one only Suez sucks. Which is the most BC2 like map.

Maybe BC2 is good in Rush? I never play Rush because well it's a bastardizaton of what makes BF good. Either way BC2s conquest maps were terrible. The points were all close to each other, mostly in straight lines, and unimaginable in third approach.

They've done a lot better since.

Except that's the best one.

On a more serious level: BC2 is the peak of the series for overall gameplay. Conquest in BF3 and 4 were just as linear as the BC2 maps you oh-so-despise. Especially on console (next-gen/PS4 not-withstanding since it got "Conquest Large" but even then the Conquest maps had issues in terms of balance in 3 and 4). Go look at Grand Bazaar in BF3 or Zavod 311 Conquest (not Large) and seriously say with a straight face they aren't "BC2 level Conquest."

Actually, I find the gunplay in the series to have finally hit it's stride with BF2. BC2 feels very stiff and hardly as quick and resposnive as 3 and on.

And I'm not sure how BF3's maps are at all like BC2. Pretty much all of the DLC maps have control points either spread out or carfully designed to the point where they just don't feel like they threw them somewhere on the map and said good day. And no I'm not talking about the vanilla maps in BF3 which are all pretty terrible on console and even then it's only Operation Firestorm thats better on PC.

4's base maps are even better than threes.

3's DLC maps.

http://cdn.wikimg.net/strategywiki/images/8/8d/BFBC2_AricaHarbourConquest.png

And so on. Pretty much all of BC2's maps are like that. They feel like straight lines and made to force people in one direction. Compared to the map design in 3,4, and now 1 where they don't feel that way at all. Plenty of control points to spread people around and have them go in different directions. Not hudled into the action. Yet, the maps never do feel possibly empty like Battlefield 2's could. Plus many of the maps BF3 DLC and on feel like they have interesting control points instead of whatever was going in BC2. BC2's maps are garbage for Conquest because they still feel built around rush.

Even zavod has it's outer control points to keep players busy away from the middle and they feel like you can hold them and not walk a few meters and be at the other control point unlike BC2's. And no I really dislike most of the base maps in three. Game did'nt get great until the DLC maps.

I will say player health can feel pretty doughy with a lot of guns, where it takes half a mag or more to kill somebody. Battlefield has never had a similar time to kill compared to Call of Duty, but players are definitely doughy in this.

Hardcore mode and servers will definitely change the game dramatically. Friendly fire combined with the chaos and having less health will be pretty entertaining to see.

I'd say BF1 better than BC2. Pretty early to say that, but there's a ton of things that click for this Battlefield that haven't in a long time.

What made BC2 fun for me was discovering I could still have a blast playing BF not playing conquest and a limited amount of players on the servers.

Then new game modes were great and I spent a lot of time playing one mode that was like 4 on 4 defend/attack one point. I forget what it was called but it showed BF could be a small squad game and not just a massive, chaotic combined arms games game.

I think the campaign is legit good. Certainly by Battlefield standards. I like that just about every mission is open world. I like that most of the missions provide a stealth option or a gun blazing option. I like that its 5 or 6 separate mini-campaigns so the story can't get extended stupid and just about when you are tired of one campaign it ends.

I think the British Tank campaign and the Italian campaign are the two standouts. Those are legit COD good levels but better in a sense because they are more open.

As far as the mp I think they hit a nice sweet spot of making a really addictive but accessible battlefield game. This will go down as one of the really fun ones.

Today I discovered you could change the load outs on the vehicles the same way you can with classes. I also discovered you don't have to spawn a vehicle as soon as you see the slot open up. As soon as you select it, you've reserved it. Then you can pick which type you want and it's loadout.

I played with a friend today and had him basically be a forward observer for me while I went on bombing runs. He kept getting so excited because it just "looked so cool" seeing me come in again and again and bomb where he wanted me to. I love this game.

I also played with the fighter today which is incredibly fast and maneuverable. It's like a fast version of the Zero in BF1942. It might not exactly be realistic, but it is a lot of fun to fly.

Well props to you for knowing how to fly in Battlefield.

I've been trying since Battlefield 2 on PC and still don't get it, I almost got it in Battlefront, but that's only almost.

I think the campaign is legit good. Certainly by Battlefield standards. I like that just about every mission is open world. I like that most of the missions provide a stealth option or a gun blazing option. I like that its 5 or 6 separate mini-campaigns so the story can't get extended stupid and just about when you are tired of one campaign it ends.

I think the British Tank campaign and the Italian campaign are the two standouts. Those are legit COD good levels but better in a sense because they are more open.

As far as the mp I think they hit a nice sweet spot of making a really addictive but accessible battlefield game. This will go down as one of the really fun ones.

I only tried the british tank one and fucking hated it. It's a bunch of shitty scavenger hunts, often in deep fog or pitch black environments even with gamma at 100%.

I could not fly the jets in any of the modern Battlefields. They were just too fast. I got to where I could keep them in the air but never do anything useful with them.

These planes are much easier though because they're so much slower. Give them a try! These bombers all have a way to see where you are bombing with a type of bomb scope, but in BF1942 and in this one dive bombing works and I find it pretty easy from the trailing view with a little practice.

Basically you just fly up really high, point your plane down at your target, when you get close drop your bomb, then frantically pull up. The bomb should follow the path your plane was flying which is a steep angle down to your target. Good luck!

The only BF game I was good at flying planes was BF1943 on PS3. There was a good month or two my friends and I spent a lot of time playing and I pretty much exclusively flew planes.

In BF2 I spent A LOT of time flying helicopters. I tried in BF3 and 4 but found they nerfed them too much.

From the time I had to play this the past weekend I like it a lot, got shot to hell though as I dont know the maps that well yet. Still this game feels great.

Takes practice. I can do it, but not super successfully. If you're playing Operations, it's even better as you can just use the huge blimp to practice in the bomber while doing damage and trying to get to grips on the turn speed and "runs."

I need to see if they separated the PC mouse sensitivity for flying so I can pull-up easier in the planes instead of having to drag my damn mouse like 5-10 times to get it to do a complete 180.
