But not unexpected. I just don't understand how it almost always happens with on-line games.......... Surely they know what demand is going to be based on pre-orders...

I'm probably wrong but is it a psn / Xbox issue as I'm on ps4 now and there's a lot of empty servers.

I'm quite enjoying it.

Very scripted though.

Well, that was fun smile
It has a much more...I dunno...real feeling than 4. Maybe just the setting, maybe the sounds, but it seems pretty full-on.
Loving operations, I think they've cracked it there. Though I've not seen anyone win while attacking, we got to the penultimate sector once but mostly only to 2 or 3.

I'm in the same boat - 'only' have a GTX770 (i7 with 16Gb RAM etc.).

Without wishing to spend £1300 on a Titan X - what is the 'go to' card these daya for a balance of performance and price? GTX 1060?

PS. Downloading now (PC) - 40Gb. About an hour before play....
I've got a 1070, and that seems to cut the majority of things easily on high settings and wasn't that expensive. Problem is you just move the bottleneck to somewhere else, such as cpu or ram or mobo chips etc.

I am however waiting for the 1080ti to be released and I'll upgrade. Cheeky to include this but it Means my 1070 will be available at a decent price but it won't be for a couple of months.

After installing last night and a very quick play - all seemed well.

The this morning Windows decides to update and Nvidia has a new driver.

The result being the game loads a black screen then does something very odd resolution wise, then goes black.

After an hour and a half of tryng various fixes, I end up changing my settings file (manually).

Game will load and play, bit if I go into any settings menus - even controls - it borks itself.

Starting to regret buying this on PC frown

Yup. It's very good. A bit laggy on the menus but seems fairly bug free.

Whats annoying is the dicks who want to grab vehicles then sit in the spawn not pushing. Cant remember the map mode but you have 3 chances to dominate the battlefield and some dhead kept the warship way out where only he could be effective and not bring in all the guns

then the tank tts just trying to stand off sniper. HE rounds against people seem to be more effective, the heavy tank is still a bh and can be used to great effect just to drive into a point, 3rd person view and hammer away.

If you play BF before it hit the games consoles then its the same style as that.

Yes, incredible effects (look up and see the clouds even), cinematic sounds and so on. Gameplay is quite fun too.. Though I am a s**t shot!

You don't even need to be in the same house to do it either. I think loads of friends share libraries with each other, only buying one download. You just make one Xbox your home Xbox and log in with the main account on the other one. Then all purchases get shared between them.
Found out this does work last night, traded my copy of Horizon 3 in for this and one of my friends who plays Horizon 3 on PC came round mine and logged in to his account to see if Horizon 3 still worked and has now left his account on my Xbox (He only has PC) so I get it back for free and as a download meaning I techincally only paid £10 for this from Tesco biggrin

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?
