Pros

- Levels are incredible
- Good variation between classes
-By and large balanced action

Cons
- Aiming spazs out constantly meaning I have no faith in aiming
- Always joining games mid match is frustrating
- Rifles are horriblely underpowered when using but seen to kill easy against you.
- Usual BF issue with kill wes versus team players. If you get the former then it's a long match.

Played with one of PH guys last night and had a good couple of games.

Went on yesterday, joined in on a round with Gunner. Screen showed reserving slot so thought I'd go put the kettle on. Glanced back - still reserving. Made a sandwich then the tea, sat down and waited. Still reserving. Ate the sandwich, drank most of the tea and the game loaded. Had to laugh!

I'm liking Operations but as someone said earlier I don't like joining part-way through the game and then it just ending, it should continue into another game like it does on BF4 conquest, if you wanted to have a marathon session on BF1 you'd spend 50% of your time in the menus (or waiting for a game to start just so you could quit).

I'm having fun, I'm just not having the same levels of fun I had with BF4 yet.

You can share emblems through the App.

Click on emblem, highlight, click on the three dots top right of screen, share.

Be grateful if someone can share the old PH emblem as mines not pulled through Cheers

I want to play through single player first, did the tank one last night and enjoyed it. Looking forward to doing them all, I've not played BF4 for a month so its helping me get back into the swing of things and to learn the new ropes

I can't be the only one experiencing problems? Aiming is constantly off, bullets don't damage enemy but when it's me I'm dead within 2 shots. I suspect it's lag but it's spoiling my game time now. If I square up to someone I inevitably end up dead so I'm stuck with only shooting people in the back.

My last two games were 1-12 and 1-7 on small side domination. I'm not amazing by any stretch but I'm not that bad!

Personal choice but I don't bother with domination or death-match modes unless it's to get a medal or new weapon etc. Map get's turned into a sardine tin and you have little to no options for any flanking or sneaky beaky action.
Always played conquest/CTF/Titan modes. Give sniping a go for a while to build up your kills and go from there. I would say sit slightly back with support and pick off stragglers that way whilst re-supplying your team but the LMG's in BF1 are pretty poor. Failing that try sticking with any of the PH lot and if your getting revived then your K/D will soon improve along with the team play element. It's actually a good crack following the squad as a group and being an utter revive we.

Almost never bother expecting randoms revive now or drop ammo. this basic function has declined every release of BF which is a sad state of affairs.

And thanks from me too, I've "hopefully" added that.

Aiming is off - well, this depends on guns (bullet drop varies) and also I am sure it is sucking eggs but you have to aim ahead of people....

But yes, quite often it seems like a one shot kill when someone uses a gun against me, I then equip that gun and take 200 rounds to kill someone........

Any such issues are often down to lag or who has the best connection. This has always been an issue but modern FPS games seem to have got much worse in this respect for some reason. What you see happening on screen isn't necessarily what the server thinks is happening at that time.

On your opponents screen for instance they have probably riddled you with bullets too, there shots just happened to register first hence it looking like they saw, reacted and shot you in one microsecond when in fact that is not the case, what you are in fact seeing is your client, ps4\xbox\pc catching up with what the server has already seen, i.e. the 10 bullets he filled you with 2 seconds ago.

not sure if this is possible but can you do private servers on BF1? If so you could just do a match between two bunches of PHers and both sides record their games. You could then directly compare the video of some encounters from both sides.

Private servers were introduced in BF3, along with organised competitive matches. Unfortunately, both were ruined in BF4 and there's no sign of them yet in BF1...

Matches run on Operations would be absolutely fking amazing.

No video, but the timing issue was demonstrated massively with MattDon - I was after knife kills for a medal, Matt was helping out. On my screen, I was less than a foot away from a prone sniper, hitting melee. No hit detection, Matt shouting I'm being a 'tard. On his screen I was about ten feet away.

Weird thing is that a couple of times I must have been there for 5+ seconds. Surely enough time for everything to sort itself out?

It's just odd at times.

This explains a lot.

I have not had single melee animation.

Not one.

I just stand there jabbing at them and nothing happens.

It's broken.
