For gameplay BF1 is great, for progression/unlock not so much.

Completely agree about that! I think the progression and weapon unlock in BF4 was done perfectly. Having them unlock sequentially made sure we had a reason to try everything, and kinda refreshed the gameplay and play style constantly as we progressed down the list on each class. Getting battlepacks consistently was also a nice thing.
On BF1 however, I feel like I have no clue what to unlock next.. I could end up spending my points on a horrible one and waste them, or get a really good one and not have any incentive to unlock anything else. I don't feel like there's any progression happening tbh. And the random battlepacks are a terrible idea.

I'm enjoying the gameplay itself a lot so far, but the progression system is a big disappointment. :/

Even if we ignore all the things that were promised and weren't included, it's still a terrible game.
I love exploration games, but having the entire game world being as a randomly generated environments with no real narrative or substance and expecting that to be interesting is completely absurd IMO. That combined with the ridiculously boring and repetitive gameplay cycle made it an awful experience. Especially with the $60 price tag..
If Sean hadn't lied about what's in the game I think the reception still would've been bad, just a bit delayed. Instead of everyone immediately noticing all the missing content, they would've just noticed how utterly boring the game is after a few days.

Nerf the horse HP

Although I do love slicing people with the sword

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.

IMO, I think it's better to be 1 shot kill with the sword. The horse is fast as hell and it takes a lot of time to circle back around, giving the target time to shoot and kill you

What they should do is drop the horse's HP, it seems too tanky

I honestly hate the vehicles, most of the time, I spawn in a car or a tank where I'm stuck staring at nothing while my teammates on the other side are shooting

I personally love the sniper, especially the iron-sight BA's

You just need to aim at the player instead of the horse. The player goes down quickly with a few solid shots.

The horse doesn't matter, I always ride the horse to a flag then leave it. The horse class itself is where it's at.
You get one of the best rifles in the game, a health pack, an ammo pack, a light anti-tank grenade and more armor than normal classes. It's ridiculously powerful, Dice already said it's getting nerfed in the final release.

Many of todays games are running sub 30 fps on it at max settings. Sure you could turn stuff down, but then what's the real advantage? It runs The Witcher 3 at 26fps, Far Cry 4 at 22fps, Assassins Creed Syndicate at 20fps and GTA V at 13 on average. How can you justify a card that costs as much as a console? The GTX 680 was the flagship card of 2012 and the consoles launched in 2013...

Hahaha, omg.. are you making these numbers up? I have a 680 and it's not even close to what you're saying.. Stop spreading misinformation. >__>

GTA V all max settings except grass is on high. Average fps is 50-60, rarely drops to 45.

Witcher 3 foliage draw distance at medium, everything else on max, Nvidia Hairworks on, average fps is 45-55.

Battlefield 1 all max settings, average fps is 60-70.

Arkham Knight all max settings. Nvidia Gameworks all on except the smoke. Average fps is 50-60.

PC gaming is very expensive in my country. I've a low end PC tho for work and old games ( 750 ti, 8 gb ram, i3 ). I seriously can never afford GTX 1080 or a i7 on its current price. I even 've to buy new mobo, power supply, more ram, 4 k monitor if i want to play PC games on its all glory. I see many PC gamers build High End rigs for ultimate experience. Consoles are way cheaper as i feel, hence my question :(

What part of "you DON'T NEED a GTX 1080 and i7 for a gaming capable PC" do you not understand?

Isn't GTX 1080 and i7 needed to max out games nowadays?

No.. Who gave you that idea?

I have an i5 3570K and a GTX 680 and I get an average fps of 60-70 on Battlefield 1 on ultra settings. This hardware came out 4 years ago..

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.

Just lower your settings and stick to 1080p. Granted, if you have a 60Hz monitor, you'll still see more than 60fps (it'll be smoother), but it'll be negligible compared to going over 60fps on a monitor with a higher refresh rate.

This is inaccurate. If your rendering over 60fps on a 60fps panel, you'll see only 60fps. There may be a "snappier" feel to movement (anything noticed is more likely a placebo effect) but your still only going to see 60fps.

Yeah you won't see the extra frames, but frame latency can make a big difference. I have a 120hz monitor and on CSGO I can clearly tell if my fps drops from 300 to 150, the difference is very noticeable especially with the mouse movement.

Using either the in-game option or a separate application should be pretty much the same. Personally I use the in-game ones if available because it's easier. :P

How about turn on V-Sync?

It adds input lag though.
