Who's in it? Share your thoughts! Played it briefly at 1AM this morning. Seems pretty fun but I haven't played enough to make any judgments about it.

P.S. The game's resolution scaling feature is seriously messed up. 42% is "native resolution", contrary to what the description of it says ingame (100% being native). So if you're like me and set your game to 100% to find it running like crap - set it back to 42% and you should be good to go!

Will download when I get home.

I wasn't going to get BF1 because I don't like the time period, but it seems they have made infantry a lot tougher/better against vehicle now which is good.

I am liking it so far. However, the map is not the greatest and it only encourages snipers. Noticed some graphical glitches. Terrain texture/mesh tiling is all fucked up and you can see the seams/stitching. Also, the gear on player models gets all rubber bandy and stretches weird. Physics glitch I guess. Frame pacing issues when running in DX12.

Really enjoying it... the map is very colourful and the game runs like a dream.

Have it on ultra settings at 3620x1526 using DSR and it runs at 70-80FPS.

I set it to 100% before joining a game, although it felt strange that 100% was max. Couldn't even load a match, kept getting crashes, I even increased the page file size before I figured it out! Now I get 45-60fps@1080p with Vsync on, it would probably be constant 60 if I had an i5 instead of FX-6300. I still remember how BF4 beta ran, this is super smooth.

As for the game itself, it seems solid, I still like BF4 better but we'll see.

I've been playing for two days so far and really enjoying it! I'm really surprised by how well it runs considering it looks this amazing, this engine is magical.

I don't think they picked the right map to show it off though.. it hard to move anywhere without getting sniped or shot by a tank, its a bit too open.

THat's for the super deluxe version; you can get the base game for 59.99, and then the DLC for regular DLC price (or season pass price).

But yeah usually you can get a base game + season pass for like 80-90 dollars....129.98 is pretty ridiculous.

The game is great. I think it stands to be one of the best BF games to date.

Just the sound alone is amazing; driving a tank, hearing the empty shells clang on the floor. Amazing. Tanks are especially fun; very powerful but with significant achilles heels. Tanks work great with full crews, with just one person not so much

The map is really enjoyable, I love the open parts and then the kind of localized CQB aspects in the camps and specifically in the village. Lots of fun.

It feels a bit too sanitized for a WW 1 game. Its rated M so I feel like they could have gone further with the blood and gore to give it a bit more grit and add some weight to the violence. I get some battlefront vibes from this, probably in part due to the map and UI, but thats really not what I'm looking for with a WW 1 themed BF game.. this feels like a DICE shooter with 'wacky WW 1 weaponry.' not a WW 1 game.

I also wish bolt action rifles were available for all classes and more prevalent overall.

in conclusion: I am definitely not the target audience for BF1. I basically want a RO2/Verdun style game but with better production values.

Hmm could just be because there's a lot of non-elitest players playing it but the game seems less chaotic and random compared to BF4. Could be because of the map design or the gun but i don't feel as frustrated playing it. But that could all change months after release.

My only gripe so far, if not for the sandstorms, its really hard to get anywhere on foot without being sniped.

They need to nerf the SMiLE gun (yes I did that on purpose).

does anyone understand how the resolution scale setting actually works?

for me it defaulted to 42%. my assumption is usually that 100% = full/normal resolution but putting it to that results in massive frame drops and the game looks like its being supersampled.

I put it around 60% and it looks and runs ok but I wish the setting was better explained

@with_teeth26: I'm pretty sure "42%" is actually 100%, it doesn't look downscaled and it runs like it should. I have 8GB system memory and 4GB video memory and I can't run the game if I set it to max.

You can't even talk to your horse in the game. But the skins in the game are looking increasingly life-like thanks to new DICE technology, generating both hats and scarfs with 200% more efficiency!

Your profile level =/= your class levels. Each class needs to be leveled up individually and it's a bit glitched (class progress was only being recorded 1st match played on server).

I've played for a few hours now and i'm level 15. Its super fun so far, even though its just one map. It looks beautiful and runs smooth for me at least.

So far my experience has been better than expected and i can't wait for the full game. I think i need to take alot of sick days in November..

Only problem is that conquest is still the exact same as it has been since BF2. Excluding commander.

Atleast BF2142 had titan mode... best mode in shooters ever imo. Can you imagine that BF2142 got bad (or mediocre) reviews back then because it was too similar to BF2... lol. Now we're are back at the same old conquest. Rush doesn't really count. It's merely a side dish. It doesn't really improve the BF concept, like titan mode did.

Really enjoying and addicting game. I keep finding myself going back to this game.

In Battlefield 4 I wasn't really motivated to learn to master the classes and weapons, but now I am.

There are huge battleships in this game so a titan game mode could totally work. A mode like that was even in BF4 DLC.

Yeah there are, but the zeppelins are not boardable. We'll see about the battleships. And yes the mode in the DLC atleast resembled titan mode, but it just wasn't even nearly the same when you couldn't fly the titans in the battlefield and board them with escape pods and planes... plus the maps weren't that great. But yeah, atleast it was something! I think it would've got more attention if it would've been in the vanilla game.

You can pilot the zeppelin, just like you can drive the train.

And yeah the battleship is a behemoth too, so it'll only be in the hands of one side... But since they have it in, I don't think a titan mode would be that far fetched.

Titanmode in BF2142 is still the best. It was good in BF4 but it got really hectic near the end of a match. People didn't really know what to do.

So far the game is nice, sadly they've gone Battlefront direction.

I hate pressing space bar to revive faster, the game currently got glitches / bugs and the servers lag - but that's acceptable from beta.

I'm willing to buy the premium edition for 60$ when it'll be 60$ of course but I'll let some review to come in and see for myself what servers population status will be in a year from now.

the game is better and reminds of good old battlefield but it needs optimisation

I have frame pacing issues especially on dx12 . Dx11 is mostly ok but i still suffer from frame times spikes

You don't revive faster with the space bar, it just skips the revival process.

Yeah, but how does it differs from the 5 seconds countdown in BF4? it doesn't and really annoys me, to make it worse it reminds me the awful No Mans Sky that I had to hit action button for few seconds everytime.

They should make the respawning system more about reviving, so that people don't have to press A to let it be known, and that they don't have to press space. Just wait 10 seconds to respawn or be revived.

Today I played 2 matches of Rush where one match the attackers had 3 Light Tanks and the other match the defenders had 3 light tanks. It really was not fun to play, but it was funny to see balance go completely out the window. Tanks in Rush are in a weird position at the moment.

shouldn't matter with any rifle, for example lee-enfield and your hitting someone for only 15-20 damage and it takes a good 5+ hits to kill them..... When your using the Mondragon semi auto rifle it does alot more damage 25+ per shot. There needs to be some major re-balancing. Also noticed inconsistencies in weapon dmg from one instance to another at times.

I found out I had to hit someone heaps with the starter gun I had, but then I went to CUSTOMIZATION and unlocked a better gun and it was heaps stronger. (but less stable)

Every gun I've used kills in like 2-3 hits at most. Even the pistols. No idea what you're talking about. The TTK in this game is really low.

Nah it's just this map because it's so open. They need a few more buildings in other points.

HUUUUGE for a WW1 game. There was way too much running and gunning for my taste, especially by jerkoffs on the horse. I dont know, call me crazy, but when I am on a mounted machine gun, and I sink 10 bullets into a horse, I expect the horse to go down, not keep circling around my squad, also shooting the horse, and picking us off with a sword.

Weapon damage seems too low....

Weapons aren't accurate at all unless you play with a sniper rifle, reminds me Star Wars lasers XD

Indeed nerf the horse sword - 1 shot kill? that's too much IMO unless you take their head off.

Overall I like the artillery truck (reminds me anti tanks), AA gun is very cool, light tank (1 person), rush mode; I think I enjoy the vehicles more than the infantry battles - unless I play as a sniper which is bad - I mean I see now why people told me about playing only 1 class.
