OFFICIAL Battlefield 1 (Discussion)

[Finners]

What happened with Requesting an order and receiving squad lead if the squad lead didnt issue an order. That was one of the greatest things they added to BF4. So many squad leads do not do their job.

Got patched in on the last update.

Think there might be a secondary bug when some people can't see orders though. Many people have asked me for orders when I have clearly given one or maybe they are just trying to get the leader role

People want squad lead. I have actually had squad lead stolen through some glitch, not only was I keeping orders up constantly, he never even put in a request. He joined our squad and was automatically made squad lead.

Agree. I was tempted to edit some posts yesterday but decided to let the cussing slide. Please refrain from cussing. Young ones read our forums....

I thought i should just mention.... I previously played this game with HT turned off on my 3930k. I had been running with HT turned off for stability reasons and for most games i had no problem. BF1 had 2 or 3 maps that would just lag the hell out and cause some serious microstuttering.....

At first i thought it was my 970s causing the issue because it didnt have enough ram onboard -- I upgraded to a 1070. According to AB. I use just shy of 4GB. HOWEVER this didnt cure my stuttering problem. So earlier today I turned HT back on and joined some of the UK clubhouse folk for a few games and played some of the maps that i would have so much lag playing. Maps that HATED my PC were st. Quentin Scar & Ballroom Blitz. Maps that hated my PC less were Amiens & Monte Grappa. Monte Grappa just ended up being such a choppy unplayable microstuttering mess after a while but we didnt play these two maps...

Everything just ran so smooth. I have no idea why disabling HT would case more microstutter but ive clocked the CPU down to 4.5Ghz & run with HT on

My BF runs great. Of course I just jinxed myself.

BF1 seems to use all threads available so more the merrier, I have even loads across all my 8 threads. It's the first time I've ever seen this in a game.

You might want to look at unparking your cores in Windows. I did it a long time ago for some game I can't remember and it helped with stutter

As your computer just bursts into flames.

 

[mastrdrver]

Am I the only one that likes the new spotting system along with the changes made to the mini map (that firing does not make you show up)?

 

[m0nt3]

I like it, one of my favorite changes.

 

[Flogger23m]

Not a fan of this game so far. Hate the gun mechanics and some of the features are just odd. MGs get more accurate as you continue firing, defying all logic, yet they overheat after around 30 rounds. Seems very contradictory. You want us to hold down the trigger, then penalize it. Sometimes realism just naturally balances things out. There is a reason people invented SMGs and use them in a different role from the MGs. The sooner game devs realize this, the better off we'll be.

Although I have to say the planes fit in the game so much better than the fighters in BF3/4. Probably the one point of the game I'd praise.

 

[AlienIsGOD]

Is dx 12 still buggy? Would like to try dx 12 out but not if it runs like crap lol

 

[Black Haru]

I do like the new minimap and spotting.
The mgs gain accuracy as fired, its a game mechanic its not supposed to be realistic. It works, and its not new to battlefield.

Dx12 still garbage

Storewide sale on origin, 30% off. Just picked up premium. Brings my final battlefield 1 total to a little under 80usd. Not bad at all.

Also! Giants shadow releases the 20th, 13th for premium folks. Includes crossbow grenade for support class. Looks like a fun map.

 

[GhostRyder]

Well I just want a couple of things in the next patch and I will be very satisfied. I still love the game but there are just a few things that bug me and really need changing.

1: Nerf the Automatico, make it recoil harder especially when hip firing. Its currently overshadowing all the other Sub-Machine guns and honestly is way to easy to go crazy with.
2: Nerf the Model 10-A. For some reason the other shotguns seem decently balanced but the 10-A is WAYYY too strong. I mean I can snipe people with the Model 10-A hunter and people snipe me, its rather annoying and has made all the other shotguns completely pointless.
3: Fix quitting, tired of having to ALT+F4 all the time
4: Make the Huot have a bigger magazine... I have read the history of this gun and I am confused why they put the tiny magazine capacity variant instead of the drum like it shows. Its not got bad stats overall but the magazine size makes it pointless compared to guns like Madsen and Lewis.
5: Fix ALL the 5 Round Medic guns to be 2 shot KO's at certain distances. Why anyone though the M1906 as the last unlock that takes 3 rounds to kill without a headshot and a 5 round capacity was a smart idea needs to think again. Love the gun, but its such a pain to use...
6: M1903 Experiemental needs a rework. It uses pistol ammo I get however the stats make no sense. They gave it the poor drop off of pistols on damage yet didn't give any of the advantages that the pistol offers at close range. Again, fun gun but man its a pain to use at times.
7: Certain Operations maps need some updates on balance. Its fun for the most part but there are certain parts on maps that are balanced completely in favor of one side for no reason that I can understand. I don't mean the terrain or stuff like that, just how at times one team will keep getting tanks and the other won't, no AA guns in certain areas on maps with the airship in certain areas, and other small things.
8: Some buffs/changes to the Landship and Light Tank are needed. Right now its a game of Heavy Tank only. Don't think the Heavy tank is OP, just the others are a bit under powered in certain areas.

I am probably forgetting some of my other complaints but for now that I what I want/hope will be changed (Least some of it). Its still alot of fun but I just want to see more weapon variety (Other than snipers) and some balance fixes to make things better and get use.

Hell, can I chime in?

1: Actual suppression effect when under fire. Sick and tired of shooting at snipers who can move about, stand up, do cartwheels and 'one shot' you.
2: HE mortar versus tanks is a waste of time. They nerfed both AP and AT mortars too much. Or, make tanks more susceptible to them.
3: AA gun on bombers. WW1 bombers were made of string and wet paper. The AA gun should shred them but more often the bomber gets a fly by and drops a billion massive bombs.
4: Nerf the planes. They're actually more effective than the ones in BF4 despite being really shit in the war.
5: SNIPER LIMIT. I play hardcore and on some servers I'm seeing like 1/3 of the team sniping (see point 1).
6: I haven't found a baguette shop in Amiens. Not good enough.

1: Completely Agree, forgot about that as its happened too many times to count.
2: Yea, have not used the mortars much but noticed noone is using HE almost so seems to be something that needs addressing. I think it should just be a bit more effective in the damage department.
3: They seem to not shred them much, and the disruption is not as good as the others. They need to do a little more as experts seem to be able to just own with them unless the entire team focuses on them.
4: Eh, I think the Fighter needs a buff, but the Bomber and Attack plane need nerfs.
5: Yea, I am part of that problem XD. It seems to be exactly how BF4 was at least when I played hardcore. I think a limit would be nice.
6: I just want a coffee shop.

They never should and never will implement class limits. It Should be an option for server admins.

The A10 hunter needs nerf, the a10 slug needs tweaked. It's awful right now, it seems to suffer from crazy bullet deviation, and a stupidly slow bullet velocity. It was a painful service star to earn.
I think the automatico is fine, but I would be bothered by an increase in recoil. I find even the mp18 is easymode compared to other classes.
Im now working on my vehicles, and I just can't understand why people use the arty truck. It's terrible. Heavy tank needs to give its quick repair to light tank.
I hate horses, they are so bad and hard to use. The calvary class is good infantry though, run around with boosted health, health and amo packs, and some decent guns too.
Planes are fine. Bombers need to be sturdy, you can still chew them to bits with AA. I would say air balance is pretty good right now.

I think both variants of A-10 need nerf and the slug needs buff.
With the Automatico, my problem more stems from it being the only gun used once people get it. Even the 50+ rankers are not using the Helreigel much or MPA and just the Automatico Storm or Trench. The increased recoil in both hip fire and aiming would help make it harder to use and give the other guns a chance.
Eh, I am 50/50 on horses because times I can use them with no issue then times I can't hit anything. Not sure if its me or the kit. The kit on its own is AWESOME.

Ok, ill join yall tonight them. That's 8:00PM for me since I am central.

Finally got to jump into game and TS last night (THANKS MTalex!!!). I have a GREAT time and this game is awesome. I ran it maxed with DX12 without a single shudder or FPS drop. My favorite class so far is sniper because its kinda like cheating. The rifles are so accurate and have almost zero bullet drop. I was headshotting people from the other side of the map.

 

[brandonwh64]
