How did you manage this? Asking me for payment details when I try and pre-order
You input payment details then when you confirm it all you get a email saying nothing is taken till you collect (If you click collect) Same if you order home delivery but when they send it they take payment.

Really like it.

Graphics great on Ps4.
No slowdowns. New type of tanks are great.

Like the menu and layout. Weapons feel great.

only downside is you unlock better weapons but they are worse than your current weapons so... I'll stick with the normal ones thanks lol

Anyone downloaded the beta on xbox yet? Cant see an option for it, just a press release about it coming out on all platforms tomorrow. Was hoping to have it downloading overnight.

Man flying is weird...I need to change my settings otherwise every time I get in a plane I can either fly straight or just into the ground (and normally upside down)

Also you can definitely tell the BF vets from the newbies, though I did get 6th out of my team of 32 on my second attempt at the main map so not as bad at this than I thought.

How on earth are Newbies getting on? I've been playing BF games for years now and I didn't get a poxy code!

Insider something or other.

xbox starts tomorrow for everyone

pistols are a waste of space in softcore

if you like sniping. i'd give it a bye.

too much like Battlefront...... Not a good thing...

Very Pretty though....

Only gripe so far is the assault gun is a pea shooter. Sod all damage.

Shooting a guy going up a ladder and i was around 15 meters away. 79 damage........ get killed by same chap as i reload.

I found completely the opposite on the PS4? confused

Got 7 pistol kills in one round playing as a Scout class (Sniper) when people got up close and personal! shoot

Sniping is easier than BF4 - very little bullet drop unless you're shooting 300m+, so you can reliably dome runners just by leading off their head.

The one map I've played (dessert Sinai) lends itself very well to sniping too, especially on Rush.

Really enjoyed it overall. biggrin

If you want a peashooter - try the LMG on the back of the jeep - it does 1 pt of damage for each bullet - yes 1, so you need 100 hits to kill a single person!! Marshmallow cannon FTW!

Has anyone notices if you start to turn left or right on foot that the rate of turn increases after half a second or so? Is this something you can turn off?

It ruins trying to lead/track a player.

Personally I think BF1 seems like a Chinese knockoff of BF4, yeah you can see the same sort of thing but it just seems not right. I need to spend more than half an hour on it and to try get the controls as per BF4.

I'm enjoying it but it feels a bit slow, the whole movement of the game, it may be that i've been playing BF4 recently and am expecting tanks and bi-planes to come past at modern speeds hehe.

Agreed on the upgraded weapons, the weapons you start with are better although the anti tank mines are good.

I also had a horse come past and it sounded exactly like a motorbike on BF4!

I hadn't pre-ordered but i will based on this.

I have only managed 5 or 6 games so far, but I am enjoying it. They have increased bullet flight time by a massive amount, the sniper rifle feel's almost hit-scanny. Pace is slower than 4, but I think we all anticipated that to some degree. Only getting 55-70 fps on low at 1080p on my 750ti, which is livable.

Too early to give a real indication, I'm going to put in a few hours later on.

I got my code through early morning yesterday and was on yesterday aft. Seemed plenty online.

Found Rush to run a bit better and struggled until I unlocked the shotgun

Sadly it's just StarWars Battlefront with a different skin. I've already got that.
Disappointed they haven't made a better job of the loadout and other screens, could have made it look from the era rather than the same as SWB.
Changed to assault class and got the top loading gun, got a few face to face kills but game still has some glaring issues.
Once again tanks are too dominant and on the open maps it's like metro where if you get into a certain position, you stand no chance of destroying them with the grenade's ( I know there's no tanks in metro, just the way it gets impossible to progress.)

Isn't that EXACTLY the point of a beta? To find faults and to get feedback from the community?

I definately wouldn't buy this BETA wink

I had a few hours last night and enjoyed it, slower pace than 4 which is to be expected. Tank are powerful but until people unlock things they will be and tanks probably were pretty formidable in WW1!

I played that SW Battlefront and i didn't really like it... at all!
