Just had my first play of the beta this evening. Looks gorgeous and really enjoyed playing it. Don't know how much I can just play on the one map though, need the full game!

Enjoyed the few games I've had with this over the last couple of days. I don't remember ever being this bad at battlefield though Need to keep playing.
Can't fault the pc version at all. Hats off to dice.

Sniping is really good fun on this one. Did they make it easier? They must have done because I'm hitting things XD

i feel there's an imbalance between infantry and tanks when a tank rolls up to take an outpost if you havent been given a tank the infantry really cant do much about it. the static guns just get taken out so you cant use those and the anti tank grenades dont do enough damage. i wish i had a rocket launcher but they didnt have those in the first world war.

the airplanes are pretty pointless the bombers rarely hit anything and fighters dont affect the ground war. they just mean you loose players who could be taking ground objectives

Tried rush this morning. We managed to move fwd through a few areas but came to a point where it was near impossible due to them sniping.
I don't like that on the main end of game honors they highlight best kd. Other than tdm, bf isn't about kd imo. It should have highlighted who got most arms or defuse.

Is Rush any more enjoyable if bf1 than it was in 4? For some reason I never took to rush in bf4, even though I enjoyed it in bf3.

The sniper rifle you collect at E is good for destroying infantry

To be honest I only play cq. Very rarely play rush. I couldn't really comment on that. I don't mind the odd rush if playing on my own (with randoms) but ones I play with hate it so always on cq.
I was setting the bombs then chucking gas at the area.

Finally managed to get a couple of games in and thought it was a lot of fun. Not a fan of the map though. Seems to be snipers everywhere.

Wouldn't advice anyone to go on the menu screen during a game... you'll never be able to get off it.

Tanks are a bit easy to dominate with. Got a 14 kill streak in one got the highest score in that round

Yeah, I always feel like I'm cheating in a vehicle on battlefield so I avoid them as much as possible.

I should probably try to get out of that mindset since the other team doesn't seem to have any qualms with turning me into mulch with a turret or grinding me into the dirt under their treads.

I just never feel like I've earned a kill in a vehicle. Feels a bit like cheating unless you're up against another vehicle.

I also just went around 19-0 in little mini tank before being taken out. Maybe just a little op those but then I guess they would be in real life.
Also at end of game I had something like 29k points but it said on awards screen that top scorer had 8600.
Love the charging with bayonet though is a bit embarrassing when you miss and go charging past by 100 metres.

I don't know whether it has more to do with the type of people you get playing a beta, but i consistently find myself in the top 4 or 5 people in my team just by playing the objective. Goodness know what most of the others are spending there time doing!

Also it has to be said, the sound on this game is fantastic. Didn't appreciate it at first as I don't have a decent sound system for my TV, but I played for a couple of rounds with my headphones on and I was blown away with just how good it was.

They are trying to encourage pto so you do get well rewarded for it. Although they have thier purpose. The snipers who sit on edge of map are generally only in it for themselves and thier kd ratio.

The snipers were getting on my nerves, so I actually became a scout just to take them out.

too much of a sniperfest to get the objectives done sometimes. the static guns used to combat tanks arent much use either, your out in the open and can be taken out easily

I give up with the flamethrower! Still can't get it to work. Don't know if it's my pad or if there's a knack to it but I only seem to get it to move up a tiny bit with either no flames or just a tiny puff of flame. Worked out how to revive people after being hit & miss with that (and dying a million times trying to receive someone!) Had to hold R2 in rather than just pressing it.

Will be sad when the beta finishes but it's only a month or so until full release so it'll back to BF4 until then

Performance is great, I started with medium settings and getting 90fps, moving settings up to high seems to have very little hit. I'll see how far up I can go before it hits 60. Game still looks great even on modest settings.

I've never had flame thrower
I had one in my very first game, and a few seconds later a tank blew me to smithereens

I was getting bit tired of the map so reduced my playtime on it or I'll end up hating it.

I've found my mojo on this game playing Rush (I am never at my best in Conquest as I find it totally chaotic and with nobody spotting seemingly enemies seem to be everywhere!) I've been feeling very WW1 putting down gas grenades, using my gas mask and hip firing my trusty MG 15 (hip fires very nicely thank you) to arm and protect the Telegraphs.

Yesterday, while playing, I said to my gf "We're not going to win this one" when I noticed my team was me attacking as support, 1 medic and 10 snipers who had all spread out to the farthest corners of the map. The other team had about 5 snipers but a mixture of other players. Sure enough we didn't.

Later on I was about the say the same thing about my team attacking, which was me, again as support and an assault and 10 snipers when I noticed that the other team had 11 snipers and 1 assault. As the enemy snipers were all camping around the hills and shooting at our snipers (as most of them usually seem to do), the assault and I won handily with the game only being actually played by two on our side and one on theirs. I always say I have no problems with snipers unless they are on my own team. I know there are the "front line" snipers but 99% you see online are just hunkered down at the edges of the map plinking away at other snipers and not doing anything toward PTFO.
