Won't be playing them either as i can't fly for stlaugh I did read that they were ported from the SP campaign so nothing special? I read that the new assignments are nigh on impossible to complete unless you have assistance on the enemy team!

Regarding the other 3 maps, i have seen only good reviews of them so looking forward to having a blast on them later.

Enjoyed Passchendale (only new map i played last night), think Neville Nights meets St.Quaintains Scar. Finished top on my first go 31/10 for 13k points. Top dude on other team went 51/11 or something.

Slaney commented that the game was stuttery for him but i didnt experience anything like that. Though normally for me, after an 'update' it takes 24 hours for the game to reset itself it seems (ie can get a hit marker) so i expect my connection to the game to diminish unless they are going to let people with good pings have the best experience as opposed to catering for some in Dubai or something.

Slaney - you can be my wingman ;-)

i will give them a go if your flying angel

the lag spikes and stuttering is caused by the new assignments. DICE look to be disabling them until a fix is found so the game at lest becomes playable.

I managed about one game on each of the 3 new (ground) maps. Passchendaele was brutal, didn't know where I was going, enemy seemed to be in every direction, got absolutely slaughtered. The hillside map was ok, a bit like Monte Crappa but not as bad. I think I preferred the Somme map (nice mixture of environment and building etc) but that game was over very quickly, as the enemy got all our flags within a few minutes and eventually our team had nowhere to spawn...

The new "anti-assignments" are weird, and I cant see i'll even bother trying to complete those. For anyone that hasn't heard, they are perks that actually detract from your abilities (ie, you are constantly dying, unless you make a kill when your health loss is paused) and then the advanced assignments require you to have these "bad" perks switched on to complete them. fk that!

Somme is great got some mega high scores on it so far. Handy to get a tank and fire the cannon down the trenches that way blows lots of people up biggrin

Passchendaele I am not a fan cant get anywhere without being killed lol

As for the new layout its not bad tells you the team scores, foe etc I struggled to see at first now found it - not seen new skills though


Not seen the plane levels yet

Slaney = Bum licker

Played 2/3 Air Warfare Maps - becomes apparent who can fly and who cant on the Mountain map, tried one of the london maps with the blimps - fun for about 5 minutes then fking dull

Somme - Always been on the side without the tank, you can only hold out for so long without any armour of your own or support
Passchendale (?) - Like it
3rd Map - seems quite fun

New MG is a fking beast

You penis hehe

A fix has been done and they are just waiting on it to be green lighted by the powers that be. Hopefully it will be done in time for later.

The fix can't come soon enough - it's close to being unplayable for me currently.

Apologies for the thread hijack, but it's semi-related.

I'm playing Battlefront 2 on PS4.

Quite often I encounter players who are clearly better than me, like headshots within an instant, and very fast turn rate, just destroying the field, to the point it looks like there is something suspicious going on. Looking at some streams on youtube, it looks like they aren't just using the simple ps4 pad, but something a bit more analog judging by how the focus moves, keyboard-mouse style, but on ps4.

Is this something that happens in these kinds of games? Or am I just reading too much into it and some people out there really are that good and I'm bloody awful.

I suspect there's a fair amount of players who are used to twitch shooters who can play the game with ease considering how slow paced it can be at times. There is also the added element of some using a KB+M setup so straight away will be at an advantage over the casual controller user.

Try adjusting your movement and sensitivity settings and work out whats best for you. All i have done on BF1 is enlarge the minimap slightly, minimap zoom is down so there is more displayed further afield and the player movement sensitivity turned up from default by about 10 (Can't get on with the rapid speeds that these twich/comp players use)

I play on hardcore servers, but the only ones I can find have either the original maps, or the Tsar maps on rotation. Are there any that have all maps?

Ideally I’d like to play operations in hardcorebut that doesn’t seem to be an option

Only TDM, i only play HC conquest and it's annoying you don't get the full selection of maps.
