Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.
If the Lewis gun has you down, stick with it. The MG15 and BAR that you unlock at Level 1 Support and Level 2 Support respectively are both a big upgrade.

Also, gas grenades own. Half of pubbies don't know to hit their gas mask, even with the game saying "HIT T FOR GAS MASK YOU DUMMIE" and it forces those loving SMLE guys to lose their iron sights for a bit. I've gotten multiple squad wipes with them.

The light tank is really still quite ridiculous. Even a bad player can get 7 or 8 kills really easily - just finished a game where someone went 40-0 in one before finally dying to planes. It shouldn't have the secondary shotgun mode.

I mean, its in the default kit, so some people are. Its a hard tool to use - having to go prone to fire is a huge deal. You can't just pop out and fire it off like its an RPG, and going prone amidst an ocean of railgun SMLE's and mortars is a death sentence. I've run Assault with TNT and if you can sneak up on a Light tank, you can gib them. 2x AT nades as you run up and then a TNT charge on their rear end and its game over, but getting close can be tough. I think taking away the grapeshot would balance them. Its hard to 1 hit kill with the cannon.

Origin says I can pre-load BF1 on October 14 at 12:00 PM CDT. Should I uninstall the trial to install the Early Enlister Deluxe Edition or just keep the trial game? Are they the same thing?

I know this is a joke post but for real: So far the maps have been great.

There is a huge sprawling city map that I think kind of delivers on what Operation Metro tried to be.

It's well designed with almost every building having a fully modeled and unique interior as well as destructible exterior.

Metro was essentially a straight line with two adjacent apartment buildings that fought over a court yard.

There's also a map that focuses around a Castle which I feel is so large it likely would have ended up as a map all on its own in an older BF game.

Overall so far initial impressions are really positive and has me excited to see the remaining maps.


*edit*

All conquest mode btw. Rush mode maps largely suck unless the map was specifically designed for Rush.

If you are a medic and someone dies, you get a big white skull marker over them with a circular countdown showing how long til they release.

If you die, it shows you any nearby medics and their distance so you can quickly see either 1) nope, not getting get a rez or 2) medic 12m away and rapidly closing so I won't release. Its very smooth. Counterpoint: There is still that awkward second or two after you get rezzed where you are prone and helpless, and if you died because you stepped out in front of an alley firing squad, you are probably going to instantly die again.

Medic...

Selbstadler if you like range (big recoil )
Mondragon for med range (balanced)

Assault...
Trench anything for hip fire (Beretta esp)
Shotguns are good for buildings
MP18 has decent range

Support...
Benet mercie gunner for long range pain

Recon...
SMLE with iron sights is great because a closer range sweet spot
Mannlicher for fast fire

Annnnnd my 10 hours is up :(

Sniping is really, really easy right now. The guns are basically railguns with no scope sway or any of that nonsense and the maps range from ok for sniping to amazing. Normally I don't care about random hill snipers but now they can tag you from hundreds of meters fairly easily.

I have two Geforce 970s yet the trial run slower than the beta did for some reason. But I haven't really experienced much in the way of a memory leak.

Yeah I would have to reset the game every few matches or so during the beta because it would clog up my system memory.

Maybe it only happens to me or to a few people.

One problem is that there's a setting to cap the amount of GPU RAM, and it's turned on by default for everybody. If you turn it off, it should help.

I'm pretty dang happy with what I've seen of the game so far although the lack of a character customization though is a bit of an disapointment. I'd have hoped for something like Battlefront's system atleast.

Also on the subject of appearances did anyone notice the british assault class got altered?
Guess someone thought there was just an abhorent amount of brown people.

I thought the medic guns in the beta were fun, if a little underpowered, but the default in the trial is now just awful. Nerfed it quite a bit.

Mondragon is pretty much the go to early medic gun.

It just outclasses every starting medic gun easily.

What did they change?

So the only way to get something comparable to BF4 deluxe edition is to spend 130 Euros?

drat that is a lot of money.

And you can play it right now if you have Origin access? drat it is weekend, tough choice.
