I've not played for ages as I've fallen down the rabbit hole of GTA V online....

Is there a contingent of BF1 PHers on Xbox One?

It's mental. I just like driving/flying around it for no reason whatsoever, or buzzing other players in my stuntplane.

Ive only gone in occasionally and been absolutely destroyed every time due to being behind the curve with only a pistol while everyone else is basically the terminator.

V1.11 just arrived in my downloads, presumably the Prise de Tahure map.

4.876GB


ETA: It is Prise de Tahure, I'm not a fan of night maps and this one isn't likely to sway me, it's Amiens with the lights off and a town square essentially, another copy and paste of existing buildings into a slightly different formation and then they have turned the brightness down and added lights that are apparently bulletproof.

Very easy to get stuck against an object you can't see very well which slows progress a bit, familiarity with the layout will help of course but I found it rather dull.

Played ~10 games, got the Codex entry, I won't rush back and am unlikely to choose it if it comes up as a choice at the end of a match. Only a max of 80 people playing the map in Europe when I looked on the server browser, apparently nobody was playing the other night map at all.

I agree, i always get excited when one drops thinking it will be good, they never are.

Im thinking of buying a console, just to play BF1 and 4. Does anyone have both PS and Xbox and can see an advantage of one over another? Dont have any mates playing anymore through family commitments so I can choose either...

Its been done to death over which one is best. If you really are just going to play BF series or COD series and have no interest in an Platform only games (like some racing games and stuff) then go for either a. the cheapest or b. most future proof.

Theres always 'clans' recruiting and eventually youll build up a friends list either from this site or other sites

Also, seeing as you're active on PH, see which platforms have the most active threads for the games you like. That way you'll have ready made teammates/competitors who aren't 7 year old American screamers (or even worse, located in Saudi). wink

I had that when I was trying to join all maps on conquest. If I changed it to just maps from the DLC's it connected fine

Same for me on PS4, not initially but if I lose the connection and join again this happens, I just switch to Operations.

Only really playing now to collect medals but the ones I need never seem to come up on the rotation.



ETA: They just pushed out one of those "interface updates" that doesn't seem to make any updates to the interface so perhaps that's in response to the matchmaking issue?

v1.12 update (08212017) just appeared on my machine, 6.8GB

Just thought I'd warn you in case you want to jump on for a quick online game anytime soon.

I haven't had chance to play yet but apparently they still haven't fixed basics like some of the lighting issues when transitioning from indoors to outdoors etc. I can't find release notes for it so no idea what it's actually supposed to add.

Biggest annoyance of mine, Especially on maps like Soissons!!!!

the new update included a new map from the upcoming expansion for premium owners didn't it?
