Breezed through the campaign on hard with relative ease. The Tank missions were the best for me.

Still can't settle on what class to play at the moment. Support feels underpowered. Constantly switching between medic semi auto and assault auto trench.

Has anyone found the sniper scope crosshairs to be just a tad off?
I find the scope is good but it takes into consideration the weather so when it's windy it can be off I think and obviously you need to aim up a bit of your far away.

I'm struggling with the lack of bullet drop compared with BF4, making head shots harder than expected.

I'm the opposite biggrin

Got 42 sniper kills on an operations game last night!

Depends on the gun..... the Russian Sniper with a 10 mag scope can do a fair bit of damage to an enemy trying to run across open areas.

Getting a bit bored of some of the maps. If you go on quick connect it's the same old maps and i really hate that beta map it's just crap! Also the jungle one is getting a bit boring too!

It's all about operations mode especially the one starting on Monte Grappa.

Operations is great. Nice to have a new game mode. Otherwise, game is gorgeous (on pc) running in high.

I quite enjoyed the carrier pigeon option too....

Anyone else finding it is not bothering to record the data for the medals...... (PS4)

Just got back into this on the PS4. I skipped BF4 completely, but used to play a lot of BF3 and Bad Company 2 on the Xbox. It's got that steep Battlefield learning curve but still keeps that familiar feel to it, I'm really enjoying it so far.

I love that they've taken the time to put the missions into their historical context - the intro's to each map are excellent!

Four 'stories' in a rush format.

Each story is a campaign/invasion over 3-4 maps. Attackers get three goes to win (never seen them manage it!), they keep their progress each time so gradually crawl forward.

They've put a nice amount of storytelling and historical perspective into it, and it's a great way to pass an hour on the game.

Got this but it is taking forever to download
I thought Steam was bad enough with a max of 1.3Mb/s, but Origin is just taking the piss,at 50 KB/s!!!
Not helped by the need for a driver update,downloading at similar speed,so I cant even do single player(not helped by me downloading the Win7 drivers in error)

It's a mix of rush and conquest. One team pushes forwards and the other defends but you need to hold all bases at once to push forward unlike rush where you need to bomb something. It's much harder.

I've had a near 2 hour game though so it's long but varied. It's brilliant.

Must be something up, fri night it came down at 9mb/s.

The nvidia driver was annoying tho... Geforce experience now requires a log in, so uninstall and manual driver update from now on.

I got dropped into my very first multiplayer game as an attacker and we actually won!

Well I say "We", I did shoot at least two people! hehe

Aah, but you probably have decent internet Tonsko, mine is 2 cans & a long piece of string! But this is poor even for rthat

Agree about the bloody nVidia thing though

I really don't know if I like it or not. It's very frustrating most of the time if your defending. There's a lot of camping which literally does my head in. I may have to try another type like pigeon one.

Yeah it can be frustrating but I haven't ever been put on the defending team! Can you choose or am I really unlucky? I haven't ever even gotten to the last stage when attacking. It would.be interesting to see what happens if you win!

My whole squad was snipers earlier so I couldn't spawn anywhere but miles back. Very frustrating.

And one thing they need to change straight away is locked squads. I understand people want to play with their mates but it's stupid. You end up with 5 teams of 2 which is fking pointless.
