If someone has a beta code for PS4 that she or he is willing to give away, I would appreciate it very much.

Re: Battlefield 1 (PC, PS4, XBOX One)

can you play this game in 3rd person?????


If so in going to buy this. I love me some 3rd person online shooters. My SOCOM DAYS...

That's why I enjoyed the water downed battlefront for a lil bit, it was fun playing that game in 3rd person with lasers.

No third person, first only, with the exception being like other Battlefields when you can third person when operating vehicles (planes, tanks, horses).

wow!

is it that bad everyone???

I am sure some people are going to appreciate the more "noob friendly" approach, but others won't.

Probably gonna be a little divisive

Re: Battlefield 1 (PC, PS4, XBOX One)

Yeah, this is pretty much it for me. After playing some more I just can't get that into it. I really wanted to like this game, but at least in terms of the Beta, it isn't going to make me stop playing BF4. The gameplay just feels simplified in many instances (no bullet drop, little to no recoil). Things like balance can get better, but Battlefront never did improve much in that regard.

I put in >300 hours between BF3 and BF4 while still playing the latter, but <20 into Battlefront before walking away, and the more I play this game the more it reminds of "Front" rather than "Field." It is just a beta so there's the possibility that the feel changes come final release. I really don't expect any significant shifts, however.

I do think this game will appeal to a wide audience, and I'm certain that's what EA/Dice were going for, unfortunately I'm just not certain it is my cup of tea. I'll keep playing the beta to see if time makes it more appealing, but if you had to press me right now, I'd say I'm not going to buy it. Pretty disappointing but I'm honestly not tremendously surprised.

Pretty solid summary, well said and very similar to my sentiments.

Re: Battlefield 1 (PC, PS4, XBOX One)

when you guys say more noob friendly and casual what do you guys mean exactly? BF is my go to shooter with over 400+ hours logged on BF4 alone and these impressions are killing me.

Will there be an open beta? Really wanting to give this a go.

Re: Battlefield 1 (PC, PS4, XBOX One)

Framerate is everything for me as it's affects your vision & aiming which kills it for me if it's really choppy. I'll take less visuals in areas if it means a smoother framerate.

I am on PS4 and my framerate could not be any smoother. It is perfect, so I don't know what sort of problem you have going on there but it is unfortunate. Hope it gets better for you.

Not me. I am still a day 1 buy but I am a BF newbie.

Reading these impressions make me upset. I had a gif here but it was broken. So instead I put words.

It's not smooth for me especially when there's alot going on. It's a choppy mess to me. Others have been complaining on other forums including battlefield.s. https://forums.battlefield.com/en-us...ficult-to-play

Re: Battlefield 1 (PC, PS4, XBOX One)

I'm still day 1 for sure purchase. Don't let impressions sway you. Gotta try it yourself.

Pros -

Still BF (despite what some say)
Graphics are superb
WWI
Planes are fun, and especially fun that all planes, or most of them are for two or more people
UI (I think most people equate this game to Battlefront-esque for the very similar UI, and I agree)
Gun list, while not unlocked, looks impressive

Cons -

Does have a similar feel to Battlefront, but not at all to Hardline, IMO
Some bugs, but it's beta, what do you expect?
It's not Oct. yetc

Honestly, I don't know why some have said it's too Hardline/Battlefrotn and killed their excitement. I do agree to extent, as I mentioned. The UI is definitely Battlefront. The graphics are much better than BF4, and very much look like Battlefront, but that's not a bad thing at all IMO. Those few things definitely made it feel like Battlefront to me, but the gameplay we all love from BF4 is there IMO. It's been tweaked here and there, and the lack of bullet drop some have mentioned I can see, but that's something you can fix and we all know DICE will alter as time goes on. I also don't agree to it's too casual. CoD is too casual, this game still requires not being a run n gun n00b.

Bottom line. Very good game. Thank goodness we're back to some WWI/II gameplay, cause it's just plain fun. I think some also just do not like the older feel, and much prefer modern war type games, and that's fine. Purely subjective, but this game so far for a closed beta feels very good and I can't wait for new maps, as the beta map is gorgeous and reminds you of BF gameplay.

Played one match. Love the scenery but the menus are the slowest ever.

In fairness to those who posted in this thread, there is a common theme (Battfront feel, watered down casual feel) going on around all the major forums I can find.

Glad you like it though. I hope it is a great game.

Different strokes for different folks, nobody is wrong.
