    I've played it for a few hours and, while oddly enjoying the single player, i don't really ... like.. er.. that is the wrong word.. hrmm.. so far this one of my least favorite BF games. But i can't quite put my finger on why. There is some good stuff. I like how, if one team is getting super beat down, you get a super weapon (train, blip etc) - they will most likely still lose.. but they get some killing in :) (i kinda just want to do back and play some bf4.)

    My life feels cheap - yes, that fits into the WWI (if that was the goal), but that isn't fun. None of the weapon upgrades really wow me. I don't mind grinding for something.. but now i don't see the point. I have 1000s of the credits needed to unlock stuff, but i don't care.

    Are all the maps out? I do like the city ones. I REALLY hate the forest one with the train tracks in the middle.

    What am i missing? I missing the part were i make my own fun. Like with fallout 4 - just playing the story would have been boring. "my game" was to max out friendship will all the people that could join me. :)

    I think i left like i had more control over the game before. Like my actions (or my squad) could change the course of the game. In this one i feel like a lemming jumping off a cliff.

    I'm level 15 now and https://www.battlefield.com/companion/career/184654361/bf1 <-- does that work? without signing in? I hope it is just to "soon" and i don't get it all yet.

    Anyone how are others doing? (FYI, the game for early access came out last night)

    The game runs really well tho.. i'm at 4k ultra preset at 100fps

    The singleplayer seems cool with some kind of video gamey mission design choices - escort a tank by clearing some camps. The presentation is excellent and the game looks gorgeous.

    EDIT: Upon spending more time on the game, I am enjoying the multiplayer. I still do not like the killstreak for the losing team and lack of weapons though.

    I adore BF1 the adjective less is more come to mind fewer vehicles more boots on the ground and without laser beam assault rifles its up close and personal the game feels so much more intense. BF1 is a more focused game every gun and gadgets has a role and purpose its a godsend.

    I like the return to every gun and gadget having a distinct role. Something that has been missing since BC2. You don't need 20 different assault rifles with a hundred different attachments. Hell, you don't even get 1 assault rifle in this.

    you don't feel like you don't have something to work toward? I'm at the edge of being bored of it and not going back. I've not even put 10 hours in. (and i also got the uber version with all the DLC et al. erp!)

    also, for the GB emblem :) (I didn't make it.. )

    I just don't need it. Now that I think about it I've never been into a multiplayer game that had a ton of unlockable stuff. My favourite multiplayer games would be Halo 3, Bad Company 2, Red Orchestra 2 and Insurgency. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Always felt that a massive amount of unlockables just added unnecessary confusion and fluff to the base game and makes it harder to balance. I just like playing the games man. And in something like this where the matches last nearly half an hour the incentive to just be on the winning side is enough to play

    I like that there aren't a bunch of weapons that perform pretty much the same. I never cared about the unlocks in Battlefield games, because I enjoyed the core gameplay enough. I like the feel of the combat a lot in this one. The encounters with enemy players feels more rough, brutal, and... personal? In a weird way? I cant put my finger on it. There's a certain weight to the weapons and a grit to the environments that I like compared to the last bunch of modern BF games (BF3 and 4 are fantastic, don't get me wrong). This feels different enough while remaining familiar to a long time fan of the series. There's a certain amount of focus that I appreciate with BF1. It's like they realized that adding more guns and attachments didn't add much to the game.

    More people need to play Operations mode. It's incredible, but I keep getting dropped into empty matches. They need to add that to quick play. I don't care which map or player count, just throw me in where there's room.

    The people that cant have fun cause they constantly feel the need to unlock shit and not getting their dopamine fix that way need to examine why they even play games. The game plays great, just wish i had a killcam.

    If I am strapped with a shotgun and some gas nades, then I'm set. I love blazing around with the armored truck, rolling five deep, and capturing flags while doing donuts. The only thing I miss is silly helicopter crashes.

    It's the best Battlefield since Bad Company 2, which was the best battlefield. So yeah, it's great.

    I will be putting up a blog post in the next couple of days, but I'll summarize my feelings for you below:

    I'm really enjoying the game so far. I played the beta and enjoyed the gunplay and the "new" feel of Battlefield, but it felt rough around the edges and I think the Beta map is the weakest map I've played so far by a long shot. Still cool, but nowhere near as interesting as the maps in the full game.

    The gunplay feels chaotic but it is also something you can wrangle into your control. It's hard to drive the gun and combat recoil the way you could in BF3/4, but you can achieve great accuracy with a bit of thought and trigger control. It feels really good. The weapon balancing seems solid for the most part, with a possible exception for some of the pistols that seem to hit just a bit too hard for a sidearm.

    The maps I think are what really make the game feel so fresh and enjoyable. The flow in a way BF maps rarely did, at least in my experience, even in conquest. Rush back in Bad Company had a cool flow, but it never felt very organic. BF1 I feel like there's almost always a "front line" where forces are crashing together, rather than the chaos of BF4's field. You can actually kind of see this line in the battlefield as you see the locations of deaths on the minimap. Assaults that you mount, or defend against, feel entirely organic and tactics seem a little more useful. See your team assaulting up a hill, exposed to enemy snipers at the top of the ridge above them?

    The maps are also very different. The jungle feels entirely different from the city, or the coastal fortress. It's a ton of fun and the diversity breaks up the action from round to round.

    Loving the multiplayer so far. Reminds me of the fun I had with Bad Company 2 and the historic setting is a great change of pace. The campaign has also really impressed me but I haven't gone too far into it. Still playing the Trial but probably going to pick it up. Feels like the best Battlefield (at least for what I like out of them) since Bad Company 2.

    Edit: Forgot to mention OPERATIONS which, so far, are the best part of the game I've experienced. They are like historic little mini campaigns with a bit of story in the beginning and end and just feel much more cinematic (and WW1-ish in the retreats and mass charges and whatnot). Please play them!

    I am gonna say it's one of the best "modern" Battlefields yet gameplay is good like the your team isn't doing well here's a superweapon to even the odd's. Kind of bummed out on how many machine guns and weird prototype weapons there are in this game. I like some good bolt-action action but you cant sell that to a mainstream crowd so i get why they did it. I liked how Verdun got the WWI sub machine guns right as in, there rare and there garbage if you try to hit something further then 10 meters.

    I do like the multiplayer but I am still not quite sure if i like the ww1 style multiplayer as much as i like the bf4 style multiplayer. I am kinda missing modifying the weapons with different aims, grips and so on. The singleplayer campaign seemed interesting but not sure if I want to buy the game yet when dishonored 2, watch dogs 2 and final fantasy 15 are coming out in november.

    Those games are kinda more to my taste although I would probably spend a week or 2 playing bf1´s multiplayer. Though it is kinda shocking that the singleplayer campaign has only 6 chapters and the first chapter is more of a cinematic intro to the campaign than an actual mission. Even on hard difficulty the second chapter didnt take that long so kinda pessimistic on how long the remaining chapters will last even on hard difficulty.

    I have about 2 hours left in my trial of the game so can still get a few more matches in before i have to make my decision on buying the game or waiting for a sale.

    I'm liking it very much indeed. Looks, sounds and plays great. My only real qualm is that all the 64 player conquest servers seem to be chronically full.

    Enjoying it a lot more than the beta but the lack of weapon and vehicle options compared to past games sucks. Still, they managed to make a WWI game interesting.

    How is the frame rate on PS4? I'm in the rare scenario in which I'd love to get it on of but my friends will be gettin the PS4 version of the game. I recall during the beta having some pretty big dips. Can anyone confirm if these were ironed out or not?

    I couldn't disagree with you more, I love everything about it. It looks amazing, plays even better, and has incredible maps.

    Except for that one map, Suez, the 3 point map with train tracks kinda far off, that map SUCKS I've played it so many times and whoever gets B first wins every single time, its fucking awful, but 1 poor map out of so many incredible ones is fine with me.

    I haven't been in love with a Battlefield game since BF1942, this is scratching that itch so hard.

    It's the best Battlefield in my opinion.

    All of the classes seem incredibly useful. In the past I always stuck to one or two depending on the game. With this game, I'm constantly switching, and they all feel great.

    Rush has never been better. Pidgeon is a great addition. I haven't touched the single player yet, but that was never really my jam anyway.

    I like all but one map, and am excited for the free map later this year.

    EDIT

    As others have said. I don't play battlefield for dopamine hits. It's not about watching numbers going up and unlock animations happen. I play it because the game is fun.

    Maybe that makes me an old guy. But I played games for twenty years where that just wasn't a thing. Sure, sometimes it's nice to have, especially if gameplay is lacking. But a 30 minute Battlefield match is what I come to Battlefield for, and that is what it offers. And like I said above, it offers it really well. For me, it is a complete experience.

    I'm loving it so far, I'm a fan of the series and this is the best BF for a while. It's not that they made one or two huge changes (outside of the setting), but rather lots of little ones that add up. Everything feels tighter and more refined than BF4 and I'm enjoying the lack of unlocks for a change. (I'm actually playing medic for once because the old timey rifles are more fun than the assault rifles of the last couple of games)

    Everything from the location based damage on viechles to the increased building desctruction is adding up to make one hell of a game.

    Glad to see I'm not alone as far as the "not enough unlocks thing". Man, is that criticism growing tired. Never mind that in all these elaborate unlock systems most get what they want 2 hours in or whatever and stick with it. I don't need a bunch of minor tweaks to a bunch of samey assault rifles that I get over time. It's bullshit.

    And then looking at how fucking dumb CoD is this year with its robots who are crafting their laser sights on their guns and bullshit with crafting materials. Give me a break.

    @sackmanjones: I had one particular very bad FPS crash last night - playing an operation and all hell was breaking loose so it made sense as to "why" but it was rough for sure. edit: this frame dip was on PS4

    Overall though I love this way more than I thought I would. I get the "not enough guns/unlocks" argument, but really for me the action in-the-moment is enough for me to keep going and just want to get back out there instead of with BF3/4 I started picking guns to get kills with just to get the attachments just because I could - I feel like the design here is more for me to pick the right tool for the current situation and play the objective appropriately. I find myself switching out my AT grenades for the AT Rocket Gun more often, and playing to what's currently on the field more.

    Operations really make this game shine - I love the feeling that we can take back sectors at any given time and that there's a real push and pull instead of just destroying MCOM/Radios. I played one on the mountain map last night that was just pure chaos at the final point, we lost, but I've never had so much fun just getting right back into the battle and trying to hold off those damn Brits! I really think this is a great game, and I want them to bring these concepts into something more modern in a few years (I'd welcome a BFBC: Vietnam style DLC sooner that throws in WWII or some smaller, more modern conflict.) but this will definitely by multiplayer game of choice for the next year or so (maybe mix it up with Titanfall 2 depending on the legs there). And the War Stories are great - I'd love to see that continued in the next BF game too - but man I do miss helicopters. Patch in gyrocopters? I'd love to see the last DLC just get wacky.

    really? people liking it that much? have you guys put in 10-20 hours yet?

    The "unlocking" isn't some quick fix. The is still tons of pointless leveling up and boxes and stuff still in the game (tons of skins with rarity ranking etc for each gun too.) That stuff doesn't matter to me. That said, I like to have a goal to work to.

    @nardak you can still mod weapons. But it has less impact than in the past.

    No Caption Provided

    here is what confuses me.. why do people, who clearly like BF and get the fancy package that gets the early access then not know how to play? :)

    people don't mark stuff, everyone is god damn sniper, squad leaders don't give issues, people just run around "trying" to kill people rather than capture stuff. (don't give ammo or heal, etc..) Make me want to punch a baby :)

    i'm also starting to dislike the counter balance super weapon. I had 3 games yesterday when the weapon was deployed pretty early, one team was having some bad lucky, but nothing game breaking (it was early) - but it turned the game into a crushing win for the team that got the weapon. (i happen to be on the winning side each time.. but it is no fun when one is so far ahead.)

    I wish operations kept you going when the match was over. It just boots you back to the main screen. I could have like the option to keep going. It is rare to find a good squad, i try to stick with one if i find a good one.

    They did so much with the single player, but it feels like they dumbed down the multiplayer to a COD level of murderfest.

    Oh, don't get me wrong. the game is fun.. for a short bit.. but, for me, it seems to fall of fast. really fast. It is real sweet to murder to bunch of people from the horse.. but once :)

    I had never really played a Battlefield game, but I was in the mood for a good shooter a month or so back, and bought BF4 when it was on sale for cheap. Playing around in the test range was fun, getting used to things. But the actual multiplayer was chaotic and felt way out of my league. So much future tech and things to keep track of. Then by some good luck the BF1 demo was out not long after, so I decided to try it out. I ended up enjoying it FAR more. The scaled back, much more simple approach to the combat (just shooty guns, not super future tech) was much more appealing to me, reminding me of older WWII games like Medal of Honor and Call of Duty. I ended getting real into it, much more than I was expecting. A lot of people complained about Sinai but I grew to like it. Sure it was sniper hell, but I liked playing as a scout too so it worked out haha. Once they unlocked all the weapons at the end of the Beta I tried out the other classes and ended up really enjoying playing as medic. Felt good being one of the few people who actually tried reviving people. And the medic gun feels good to use.

    Playing the 10 hour trial on origin only cemented this feeling. I really like most of the maps, with Fao Fortress being the stand out one that I really don't like. Every time I play it it just feels like a dredge. It's the only map I actively left when it came up in the rotation because I was never having fun on it.

    The game is damn gorgeous and has outstanding sound design. The guns feel good to use, the vehicles are a blast, even if I am just some grunt manning a gun. Planes are crazy, maybe one day I will be able to use one without immediately crashing it, but until then I am fine on the ground. The single player seems really well made, but the draw for me is still the multiplayer. I remember loving Battlefront 2 because I felt like I was in the middle of a huge battle instead of just one of few people duking it out. This game finally recaptures that for me.

    As for complaints, some interface stuff could be better. Why can't I edit my loadout anywhere but in game? There is even a Soldier menu option, but that is just stats. Really bizarre. I know BF4 had the web page you had to load from which was insane. Hope they are ditching that. I think there was more I was unhappy with, but really they are nitpicks. I just want to play more now.

    Wish people would give medics a chance to revive them. Especially on Team Deathmatch where it's arguably more important. Come on idiots, I am right on god damn top of you and you just spam respawn.

    You can still use the website to change the load out, but you can in the game too. Before you spawn, the same buttons that let you pick what class you want, you can change the load other there. There are icons for each slot, just click on them to pick something else. You can't do skins or mods there, but you can change the big stuff, like guns, grenades types, and skills.

    thank you for bring people back to life. honestly, people only did it in the past for more level up points, but that doesn't give you anything anymore. It seems most people just play the medic to heal themselves.

    @zurv: I just wish I could change the loadout at the main menu, before jumping into a game at all. I can't think of a reason not to have this.

    Do like

    • Best Battlefield since Bad Company 2
    • Good map design
    • Destruction is again meaningful
    • I enjoy the setting a lot
    • Feels smoother, BF4 always felt clunky to me
    • Operations 40 players is pretty cool, 60 is a bit of a clusterfuck
    • I like the progression system, puzzles are neat
    • Campaign is alright, but a bit cheesy (I mean given the subject matter but still)

    Personally speaking, I'm feeling the Battlefield magic again ; ) BF4 was alright but it felt slow, bloated and clunky, it never caught me like Bad Company or BF2 did. So far Battlfield 1 is doing alright in my book

    It feels very polished (relative to past BF games). It definitely has some issues but I've played about 8 hours of mostly multiplayer and have never seen a crash or a disconnect (on PC). Ping has always been really low on every server I've played on.

    The game looks and sounds incredible, definitely a strong contender for Best Graphics. I like all of the maps, Operations mode is an incredible addition. The limited progression/unlock I can see being a negative for some people but I've been playing a medic the whole time and have only used two of the rifles (I'm level 14 and have about 900 war bonds that I don't really feel a need to use).

    Love it. I'll be playing it for a long time.

    This is the first one since two where I've wanted to play all the classes. It's streamlined in a way that the previous ones started to get away from which I like. And who can argue that blasting someone with a sword from horseback isn't awesome.

    I'm loving the game so far. I haven't played the campaign for a second, but the multiplayer is outstanding. The map design is some of the best I've played, and this is some of the best multiplayer I've played in a long time.

    @zurv: I played like 24 hours with the origin access and the "deluxe" edition i still think it's really good. i get it when people don't like a more infantry based battlefield, but lets be honest at the end of the day most people would play Strike at Karkand infantry only in BF2 and Metro in BF3.

    I'm about 15 hours deep in the multiplayer and I have to say that this is by far the best game in the series. Maybe it is just because everyone is learning the maps but I've felt as if everyone is sticking together and fighting for points 80% of the time now. I find myself fighting over 2 objectives with half of the team and all rushing together pushing and pulling for a solid 10 mins to cap a point. Ball room blitz, everyone running from C down the halls to B has had some awesome moments, everything just feels more alive and the level design seems to promote more sticking together. Guns wise, eh its all about the same, everything feels balanced but which is good, tanks are still hard to deal with considering the lack of explosive spam but it adds a bit to the game i think, I'm now hiding from tanks in the trenches and finding another way around.

    @evilsbane: haha.. you are a crazy person! that said, add me to your origin friends! lez do this before i wall away from the game :) save me sir!\

    but the best times are to be had when you are in a good squad. win or lose.

    I have a nagging feeling i keep being "balanced" to the losing team.

    I really enjoy the multiplayer, haven't touched campaign yet, after the initial mission I have very little interest in it.

    I feel like these maps are incredibly well designed, they are "dense" in a way that few games have managed especially considering their size. The weapon variety is a complaint, but there are a decent selection even if a lot of them feel/look the same.

    Whats the deal with random battle pack drops. I've got at least 6-10 in my first 15 hours whilst I have friends who have played just as much not get any. I've read that it is random and based on participation? I've had my friends play way better than me in a round and get nothing yet I got a battle pack after being in a round for literally only 4 mins with 4-0 on the scoreboard. I like the old system of getting on when you level up but it honestly inst a deal breaker, all they really are is gun camo so not much to get caught up about but want to hear others thoughts.

    I like the return to every gun and gadget having a distinct role. Something that has been missing since BC2. You don't need 20 different assault rifles with a hundred different attachments. Hell, you don't even get 1 assault rifle in this.

    you don't feel like you don't have something to work toward? I'm at the edge of being bored of it and not going back. I've not even put 10 hours in. (and i also got the uber version with all the DLC et al. erp!)

    I mean, how many hours will it take you to unlock everything you need?

    And then what? When you're done unlocking you stop playing? I think if you're in it for the multiplayer, which means you're gonna be putting tens if not hundreds of hours into it, then you enjoy the fighting and the base capturing, and you can do that with or without unlocks.

    Im level 18 and have played about 13 hours and haven't had any drop. my friend who's level 5 and started playing last night has already had 3. Its a really shitty system.

    I cracked and decided to purchase it, making it the third full-priced AAA game I have bought this year. It is downloading right now.

    How's this on PS4? Is it stable?

    Edit: My question was already answered earlier.

    I've played just under 30 hours so far (PC) in the early access. It's real, REAL good; this is the best "modern" Battlefield and easily hangs with 1942, 2, and BC2.

    Operations are amazing.

    This is the real deal, folks

    It's the best Battlefield since Bad Company 2, which was the best battlefield. So yeah, it's great.

    This. So much this. This shit is really, really fun. I put 300 hours into BC2, and it's my favorite multiplayer game of all time, this is right up there with it. Whatever they were doing wrong with BF3 and BF4, they turned it around and nailed it this time.
