9 days is quite good, too bad I'll only play for 2 or 3

peewee110163545d ago

Also why not give us the Map from Gamescom as well?

Xxxharrybxxx3545d ago

They will eventually. Also. Bf1 runs amazingly smooth. I thought I'd need a new video card. I'm getting 45 to 50 fps on a nvidia gtx 660. Man. I can't believe how good it looks too. Not as good as gamescom obviously.

No rubber banding. Smooth spawning. The user interface is fantastic. The game loads much faster than bf4.

The airplane dog fights. I rarely used planes other than traveling to a site. But now im addicted to this.

There is a science behind dog fights. Some of the planes seats 3 people. 1 shooter in the back the pilot in the middle and a shooter near the nose.

If you can time the son of a bitch right you cause havoc like a mother. It's different in the air. You get 2 good guys who listen you will do great. Timing your gun the right way will take out enemies.

Also I use the mele to boost sprint.

The artillery canons are also alot of fun. Becareful because reload is a little long. You can wipe out tanks from a distance easily. Some people think tanks are OP. They can be taken out easily. But you have to be near them.

Altovoltage3545d ago

Yea I agree. The desert map looks to much like the one Star Wars map.

Goldby3544d ago

@Harry

im runnign a 570ti as im a little short for a new upgrade, think it'll be above 30 for me?

BLAKHOODe3544d ago

I'm loving the length and timing of this beta. I can actually play while my kid is at school; unlike with the TitanFall 2 beta, which was only playable during the weekend when my kid was home. Plus, by the end of the 9 days, I'll know if I'm already bored with it or want more of it, which will factor into it's purchasing power.

The cpu requirements seems high in comparison to the gpu requirement (6600K+GTX660)

ShadowKnight3545d ago (Edited 3544d ago )

I noticed that as well but it won't affect me though (6700k+GTX1080) unless it's not optimize right. But it's still high cpu requirements regardless which is strange tbh 🤔

RedDeadLB3545d ago

Battlefield games always required a beefy CPU. It's one of the rare games where an i7 makes a huge difference in performance over an i5.

What surprises me is that the FX6350 is put in the same league as an i5 6600K. That's not how it usually performed, even in Battlefield where the higher core count is relevant.

sarlucic3544d ago

I'm on a old i7 2600k with a mild clock to 4ghz here at work paired with a ati 390 that is overclocked to 390x levels of performance and i hit over 60fps with no problems on ultra.

Keith223545d ago

Smooth as butter on PS4 heres gameplay straight from PS4 shareplay https://www.youtube.com/wat...

ShadowKnight3544d ago (Edited 3544d ago )

Its actually smooth on the PC as well. But I'd recommend the mouse and keyboard because with the controller you'll get owned lol

ONESHOTV23545d ago

yeah i was just playing it looks nice on 1440p but i still dont know if i'm going to get it

ONESHOTV23544d ago

it looks good what did you use to record i try over wolf but that puts a strain on the rig so it stutter at time i hear a lot of people say OBS is a good choice maybe i will try that

GravelerMagnitude93544d ago

shadowplay with bitrate set to 100 Mbps

DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 1 In The Next Game

For DICE to succeed with its next game, it has to return to the roots of the franchise. Atmospheric map design, clear and defined class-based gameplay, attention to detail, and total chaos. Battlefield 1 feels like every rock, every glint on your sniper rifle, every falling brick from a collapsing church, has been painstakingly considered. So much care went into the design of the game, from its soundtrack to its costume department. To stand a chance alongside the behemoths of Treyarch and Infinity Ward, DICE needs to recapture what made their old games so brilliant, otherwise it’s all over.

"DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 3 In The Next Game"

/Fixed

...on a serious note, DICE needs to remove the Battlefield name.

isarai1278d ago

Eh, bfbc2 was the peak for me, only ad dogfighting and the accommodations that come with it. Every BF after that was such an unsatisfying progression system for weapons and gear for the classes, 90% of the guns feel exactly the same when you unlock them, just felt boring in comparison. Not to mention the gimped destruction as the series progressed

Sciurus_vulgaris1278d ago

I found Battlefield 1 to be overrated. The gameplay was simpler and less strategic than its predecessors. Battlefield 1 did have a woo-factor, but the gameplay got repetitive faster than Battlefield 4 in my opinion.

porkChop1278d ago

If DICE needs to return to the roots of the franchise then why would they look at Battlefield 1? BF1 is overly simplified and streamlined. What DICE should focus on is Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2. Those two games were the pinnacle of the franchise.

TheEnigma3131278d ago

BC2 was the best. they need to get back to that.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot1509d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw2501508d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1507d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop1508d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno1508d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel1509d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1508d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge1028881508d ago (Edited 1508d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k331508d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge1028881508d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH1508d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

Grabbed Panzer Dragoon, the Darkness, Conker Reloaded, Burnout Revenge, Time Splitters 2, Fight Night Champions, and Stuntman Ignition.

Essentially some of the classics that I can't get on PC, now that I have a Series S.
