Dang I really hope this means WWII or Vietnam are next! Still the best two games in the franchise but in serious need of an update! I can only hope for a 1942 reboot. |

No DLC until March next year? Sounds like it may be better to wait and see if you can find a deal on Premium between now and then.

Medic is worthless - no one waits for the revive and the guns are so non-competitive its not even funny. Bomber bombs have a kill radius of like 3 meters so targets in the wide open are pretty safe. Snipers have almost no bullet drop so that's a pretty easy class to get some kills with. Otherwise the Artillery truck is broken as shit and easy to run 40/0 on a server. While I love being able to repair myself while driving, it seems like a game-breaking feature. People spawning in any vehicle really pisses me off though. Ill have my squad out capping a flag inside a tank and someone will spawn in the drivers seat and park us in an alley or something stupid like that. Vehicles need locks of some kind. |

I'm enjoying it, but that's because I enjoy BF games in general. It doesn't seem like anything new or groundbreaking.
I wish we could modify the loadouts a little in the beta. That might help break things up. |

Reiko and Urban had some good points though, I think they'll be making some tweaks since what they said is basically the same stuff all of the subreddit is complaining about. The only reason I play medic right now is because I can't kill people for shit with the assault class, support is better but medic plays the strongest for me in medium range right now |

After playing on and off all day, the cavalry class is definitely my favorite. You get health and ammo packs to throw, and the rifle you get is a murderously overpowered lever action. Plus you can schwack people from your horse with a sword.
I'll echo whats been said before, tanks will ruin your day. If youre team lets one get stolen, youre gonna have a bad time. Having anybody spawn in on any vehicle is a good/bad thing. Good if no one in your squad is alive, bad because of retards. I'm actually gonna preorder the game now though that I've played the beta and like it well enough. |

Fuckin love it. I feel like this is the battlefield I always hoped for. Explosions cause craters, doors & window shutters, the sounds are amazing. (supposedly they spent a lot of time recording authentic sounds), the graphics are great for ps4. I literally have zero complaints after playing for 3 hours except I wish they'd up the damage on a couple of guns by like 20%. Not a huge deal because Hardcore mode should fix that

Some tips:
1. Class/kit progression is bugged. You can get new weapons by leveling up each class, but in order to do so you have to quit each game (return to the menu when the game is completed), and find a new server to play on. If you just keep playing matches on the same server, your class/kit will level up extremely slow, if at all. 2. You can disable the annoying announcer voice in the menu. Doing so makes the characters talk more and they'll scream out if points are being lost or capped. You can also change the foreign languages to English so you can understand what they're saying. 3. Pressing the skip-revive button does not shorten the amount of time until you can respawn. If you just stay on the revive screen, the timer for respawning will be the same as if you leave, and you can have the chance of being revived (be sure to use the call medic button). 4. On console, go to video options in-game and remove blur as well as increase FOV. It makes a huge difference! 5. On PC, specifically Windows 10, the Xbox Game DRV option is apparently reducing FPS by double digits. Start the Xbox app and in the game settings you can turn off DVR. |

For those that can't level up their classes at all, this came in handy. Not sure if you could call it an exploit, since it is a beta, and it's right on the website, but in any which case progression flat out doesn't work for some so it's worth a shot:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/50h482/bf1_get_weapons_without_leveling_up_your_class/ For those that don't want to follow the link: Step 1: Go to battlefield.com and sign in Step 2: Click on CAREER Step 3: Select BF1 Step 4: Go to LOADOUT Step 5: Buy whatever you want Step 6: Go ingame Step 7: Profit edit: I just tried it out, the AT rocket gun helps with armor, tanks still feel overpowered since it would still take 3-4 shots from the side to take down a light tank, but if you had a full squad dedicated to anti armor it'd be easy to shut down all armor on a point in 10 seconds flat. |

You cannot respawn until the original time-to-respawn ends. It seems like it goes by quicker because you're not staring at the progress bar and your dead character. It's been extensively tested and is one of the top threads on the Battlefield 1 Reddit. |

Got on this morning, no problem. Now it won't connect to online. Seems to be happening for a lot of people right now, according to Reddit.
Played a few Conquest matches earlier. It's hard to get used to the controls and slow movement, coming from playing CoD on max sensitivity. Turned it up in this game, but still feels sluggish. And I really hate the fact that you can't change the aim/fire buttons to L1/R1, like most shooters. I can't remember if it was like that in BF3, which is the last BF game I played. I like it so far. It doesn't feel any different than BF3, though. Nothing new and exciting. Just re-skinned, IMO. Just gotta get used to how slow-paced it is compared to CoD again, and I'm sure I'll get more into it. Edit: And Ray is right. Skipping revive will bring you to the overhead view quicker, but you still can't spawn in right away. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I thought it was fun. I could make my horse whinny. :)
I spent more time shooting horses just because. Got the M08/15 with the big suit or armor. It took me a minute to figure out I was armor plated. I feel for those poor saps that tried to rush me. They couldn't run backwards fast enough. I got the most kills in a plane ever (for me). Because the planes as so as the horses. Pretty fun overall. Tanks are brutal. Can't run from them, can't really get close enough to toast them. Armored train was funny. I could make the whistle go whew whew. I tried to play tunes people would now. |

There are some pretty severe balancing issues going on unfortunately. I know its a "beta" and we should expect these things tweaked, but I really hate to see some players at 200% the regular HP. Armor is also overwhelmingly powerful (the AT rifle does 15-25 damage) and, couple with repairing without even having to get out (wtf?) they're almost game breaking. K/D ratios are close to 10-20/1 for armor and 1/1-5 for infantry. Armor's infinite ammo and now infinite health is just too far from where it once was... Could also just be a trash map to illustrate the game's virtues but as someone who likes Battlefield for the FPS aspect, this is a no-buy for now.
Remember back when tanks had 20 shells and you had to go to a depot to resupply or, alternatively, abandon the tank and become infantry? Ahhhh those were the days. |

Remember back when tanks had 20 shells and you had to go to a depot to resupply or, alternatively, abandon the tank and become infantry? Ahhhh those were the days. As the game is now I'd still give it a huge leg up over battlefront. If they don't change how armor works I'll be holding off on a purchase until they do. It *may* just be the map that is causing the glaring issues though, but still... that would mean that is at least one extremely broken map on release. Once armor is in a confined space I feel like it's easy enough to deal with, but between the bombers being unable to hit shit, only one viable AT weapon right now that is trash anyways, and the infinite ammo/repair, it's garbage on that end. I can't remember the name, but the AT sniper rifle you can pick up from one of the capture points is actually extremely helpful, but impossible to find. I think if people had these available on a loadout the game would be imbalanced in the opposite direction, but these rifles should be easier to pick up than what they are. The other huge issue in armor's favor is the stationary guns. They're great at getting armor down at range, but once somebody destroys them you're screwed. I think to start with a slight buff to assault SMG range would be good to get more people playing and leveling assault, and making the AT rifle more mobile with a damage boost would do wonders. If a tank wants to sit on the outskirts or push a point long enough to do some damage and be destroyed, great... but they shouldn't be doing this with the same tank the entire game with an average driver. |

Armor hasn't been difficult for my friends and I to take down or avoid, but when we are in a land tank we tend to dominate. You must stop the vehicle to repair it, and incoming hits reset the repair timer, so it's a fair feature in my opinion---much more balanced than stacking two engineers into a bird and have them sit there repairing nonstop while the pilot strafes in a near-invincible vehicle.
