Battlefield 1

[tmtm]

Now that I can do...

 

[Leftnut]

You bring Bourbon to war not Rum.

 

[little P]

Ah, but that depends on the situation. I tend to pilot boats around the perimeter and plunder ye islands so rum is entirely appropriate. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum etc. etc.

 

[tmtm]

Rum is entirely appropriate for any situation.

 

[little P]

Wow. I just finished the war story "Friends in high places".

Holy crap that was like a big budget Holywood movie! Absolutely bloody brilliant

Loving this game. Best Battlefield in over a decade.

 

[tmtm]

This game is not bad. I'm pleasantly surprised. Especially after most of a decade of bad-mouthing EA/DICE/Battlefield...

 

[Kenadian]

Yep, it's pretty awesome so far.

I'm glad they changed Conquest back to more what it was, the new Conquest sucked and you never knew why you won/lost?

 

[little P]

I'm enjoying support class, which class is everyone favoring at the moment?

The campaign is beautiful by the way, I'm playing through it with the hud off as when you get a moment like this it's truly stunning.

Took the screenshot for our Dutchies, I know how much they love their windmills.

Not sure what they changed... was it the lack of ticket bleed during beta and then brought it back in for the release?

 

[tmtm]

I'm leaning on assault right now because it's the simplest class to use while I get my feet back under me. I'll probably drift to support eventually, I usually end up there.

In the Beta kills didn't count toward ticket bleed but that has been brought back:

Well, first off I’d like to talk to you about the Conquest game mode. When we build a new Battlefield game it’s important for us to try new things, we want to stay fresh and renew the franchise with each new installment. However, it’s equally as important that we take the feedback that you, the community, are giving us. That is why we're going to be making changes to the Conquest game mode ticket system for launch. The next time you play the game, capturing the objectives AND getting kills will both contribute towards the final score of a Conquest match. You have spoken, we have listened!

 

[little P]

Finished "Through blood and mud" war story. I actually sat there and gave it a round of applause at the end. Holy shit.

 

[tmtm]

Boy oh boy, I am bad at this damn game.

 

[Kenadian]

Boy oh boy, I am bad at this damn game.

Nah it's not that bad really. I keep telling Marc it's a matter of going up against a lot of players who have thousands of hours ingame between the last several iterations.

Those that haven't been in Battlefield are most likely regularly active in other FPS' so their twitch reflexes are simply better than yours.

Map knowledge, methodical movement utilizing cover, head glitching, peeking, pre-firing, aiming at the torso etc., can help you out a lot as well.

 

[tmtm]

Yeah, I'm totally at that stage in life where I have to use my brains instead of my reflexes.

Am I going to enjoy this game or get super bitter because it's not BF1942/Vietnam/BF2?

 

[tmtm]

I'm enjoying it and there's no one that misses the old games more than I do. The more primitive weapons tend to slow the action down a little.

 

[Kenadian]

It's pretty enjoyable actually but can be frustrating at times I'll admit.

Overall I think it's a breath of fresh air in a franchise that certainly needs it.

I'm personally not a fan of the OP behemoth shit nor the the panic knifing but other than that it's pretty a good game. It certainly is experiencing a way better launch than both BF3 and BF4 did and it's not nearly as stupid as Hardline or boring as Battlefront.
