File size is getting mental. The For Honour beta is over 30Gb...

The death of elegant or efficient code is effectively unlimited processing and storage.

Inefficient code might be some of it but don't forget the increasing quality. Hi Res textures, decent quality sound files, visual effects, millions of polygons etc. We all want 1080p\4K but all that lovely hi fidelity audio\visual info takes up ever increasing amounts of space.

Just over 2GB on the Xbox One as I'm updating the game at the moment. Storage capacity really is becoming an issue on consoles; between mandatory installations and updates for games there's scarcely room to store more than your most-played titles (based on my experiences with a 500GB Xbox One, anyway).

Does anyone have a clue what the Elite Codex entries for different weapons are for, or what they do? I'm sure I'll see one eventually but curiosity is getting the better of me at the moment.

Oh absolutely, however I can't see that the 5Gb patch adds much if any of those things!

When you consider what used to be achieved with 64kb, adding ribbons and a voting button for five gig seems a tad ste!

Weirdly, my class levels are varied between 40-60 in the main menu, but only 10 whilst in a game.

I wonder if when I gain enough xp to level up the higher level it will skip the ranks?

Ok so just hit level 50. A few thoughts....

- When it clicks, even teams, good teammates, its an incredible gaming experience.
- The levels are incredibly designed and beautiful to look at.
- It's utterly pointless trying to play with the rifles. Because they are underpowered unless you sit and snipe it's a frustrating experience.
- Still issues with lag for me.
- Stats could do with being more detailed. Individual game details would be nice.
- Load times aren't great.

I suspect the first DLC stuff is in there but not playable at the moment until it's switched on with a smaller update later. Star Wars Battlefront worked like this.

Must admit i rage quit the first time playing this game last night with friends. I was playing medic and couldn't revive anyone as they were all skipping respawn.. i lasted about 3 minutes and my patience ran out.

Good job Ive got Tomb Raider coming to keep my mind off it the next few weeks!

I use the gewehr 95 carbine and run and gun with the rifle. It's quality.

I do this as well, the reload speed is fast enough to be able take down a lot of opponents who rely on hipfire from medium distance and if you can swap to your pistol quickly then you'll be OK.

Body shot from M95 and 1 M1911 bullet will kill normally

Agree with you on that. I am level 66 and it is such a great came to play (dare I say it so much better than COD).

Tried out GetGoodGuy's aggressive scout build... not bad even at more range than he intended!

Guess the retard on here, conversation along the lines of (i decided to have a play with the madsen and support, him using tne smelly rifle).

Him - ffs just died again
Me - where
Him - over there
Me - why didnt you pump out some spotting flares so we can see them
Him - nah thats gay
Me - yes but we will see them
Him - nah its gay, ffs i just died again.

And so on until he realised the error of his ways. But so many snipers dont even do flares or trip bombs. Maybe its just a daytime thing i dont know but fktards everywhere

Flares are great for room clearance too!
