I played a couple of games today, one where I had a good squad and finished 6th on my team (lead leader board until the last couple of minutes), and one where I had no squad and did nothing beside spawn and die.

Most games seem to be sniper fests, with nobody playing the objective, plus the lack of vehicles means its difficult to flank quickly and you are easy meat for snipers.

The second game I played was basically one sniping team vs another with the occasional bomb and tank shell death to break the monotomy.

This game needs more vehicles quickly, or else its going to be just 32 snipers vs 32 snipers. In my opinion, they've dropped the ball with this game, I can't see people playing this in 3 months time, never mind 3 years.

I'm going to keep on playing for a while, hopefully it'll get better, but it just doesnt feel like battlefield.

I was hoping for 1942 jump in any vehicle and use it, but no

Whenever I get a new BF game (or new maps are made available) I like to enter an empty server and have a bit of an explore around the new map. However, every time I try that in BFV I get "error code 1".

That happens to someone else i play with, every round he returns back to the main screen. Though he has a low ping, in BF4 he was a laggy bullet sponge and even in this he complains about rubber banding.

Tend to play Grand Ops lately as its a different game mode each round but fk me was one round last night dire, 20/31 of the opposing team where sniping and not willing to push the objective. - Gotta protect the k/d ratio even though they all got bhed.

Also theres a spotting option in the support class, it spots people for your teammates if you put the player under suppression/hits them.

Damnit! Had a good session tonight, so scratch what I said previously, this game improves with play!

There are still too many snipers, not enough vehicles and no boats though!

Which is with LMG's only having 50 rounds, how can i support my team with covering fire if i have to reload every 15 seconds.
I'm not sure about all the others but one of the upgrade options for the MG-42 is a 250 round magazine, given the rate it spews out bullets it's a must-have.

Is it just me or is it starting to get abit tedious now?

Ive seen that its not done so well in the release figures either and 'bombed' compared to BF1 figures

I've not bought BFV. I played quite a bit of BF1 but not as much as the others. Bad Company 2 for me still takes some beating!

I'll keep an eye on this thread and see whether the consensus is it's a grower or not. At the moment most seem to be questioning the longevity of it.

Its awesome, stick with it. Requires re-learning what you did in BF1. It's brutal but great.

I think the graphics and soundtrack need improvement though.

Oddly I think the sound effects are awesome, the engine noises, the grenade "crump" etc. all sound quite realistic to me..

Interesting maybe covering fire with 200 rounds can continue shoot

Anyone on Xbox also stuck on the “update required” screen where it won’t actually select the update option?

Sometimes you have to go onto games and apps and select start.

Other times i have to stop it updating and start it again.

Agree, the sounds are spot on. Music is lacking IMO

A bit like retail sales - down 60% on Battlefield 1.

Yeah, I love the sound of the planes flying overhead - proper roar.
