Good lord this is good. Played a lot of BF 1942 years ago, I've missed the menu music biggrin

Really good, doesn't feel overly 'dumbed down'. Good pace on most maps, not the most obvious on things like getting new weapons etc but no biggie.

Really loving sniping in this, so satisfying finding a den in the hills somewhere and plinking away. Surprised myself with a couple long shots considering I haven't had an FPS on the xbox in a good couple years.
I found with sniping with the standard rifle is that you don't have aim high for long range shots. I missed a few yesterday when aiming across the map and found that I got head or body shots from aiming direct at them not above. unsure if the rifle compensates for this

I dont think there is bullet drop on this one. At least not to the levels of previous. Ive done pretty well without even zeroing the rifle at all.

I've been fiddling about with the zoning distance thing, want to try a couple different rifles as well. It's very satisfying when you figure out the bullet drop and get someone 300-400 metres away.

Don't know if it's because I've just been stuck on Forza etc for ages but this is a gorgeous game. Making me want to upgrade my TV.

Anyone suffering from bad lag / rubber banding?? Started playing this yesterday and loving the feel (in SP) but due to poor signal servers haven't been able to enjoy MP.
Any advice / recommendations on how to find myself on decent servers appreciated.

Feel free to add me - gamer tag is the same.

Any one else getting massive load times for maps - only to find when you do join the game it's already 3/4 mins into it with all the tanks and planes taken grrrr

Added most of you last night but no-one was online. I'm normally on around 10:30 for an hour or so during the week.

GT: AmboJohn if you saw the friend request.

Everyone who's adding people, if you can (Don't know if it's public yet), join the PH club that's been set up too...

Had great fun playing conquest as a Scout on the mountain map last night (can't remember the name).

Had a great spot looking down to the E flag and was picking people off with ease...was quite suprised how long I was in the same area with no return fire!

Scout class is definitely my favourtie, I'm rubbish at the frantic up close runing/machine gunning

JayKay1983 if anybody fancies adding me.

Try and get on a few evenings a week after 9pm.

Not played any shooters for a long long time so taking some getting used too again but getting there slowly.

Only had a few online games as been working though SP but loving the game so far.

Its under social on the xbox dashboard.

When I get home from work tonight I'll try a proper write up, but if under the social tab you can't see clubs, I don't think its live.

I've finished GoW4, just need to plough on and complete it on insane and looking for the next game to pick up.

Do I get this? The Division was a complete waste of money, it just didn't grab me at all and would rather not buy another crap game if at all possible.

Completed a couple of the single player stories and then jumped online.

Not sure I've played the same map twice yet so spending most of my time running about catching bullets... Bloody good though.

Had a great few games tonight with some PH'ers. I'm currently hoovering up on campaign at the moment, going backwards and collecting all the field manuals and completing the codex for the achievements.

One thing I have noticed, can you not change your MP loadout unless you're in a game? I was looking at the screen of things I could buy with my war bonds earlier in an MP game but I can't get back to that screen outside of MP. I've looked on the 'soldier' tab on the main menu but that just lists stats.

Haven't managed to get on with any PHers yet but have been playing most nights for an hour or so.

The weekly medals are quite frustrating as you get tempted into playing a class or style that isn't preferable in order to collect shiny stuff.
