There's some truly bad mechanics/design elements but they've fixed a bunch from beta and they seem to be listening to feedback. I'll wait for reviews but probably end up getting it

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.

Melanin count in skin tone varies from theater to theater. There were more Indians at Sinai than anywhere in France.

Campaigns outside the European sphere more or less were a Commonwealth rainbow of nationalities and ethnicities that were equal too or more than the white British soldier. Having one less white guy makes sense more with the maps set in the eastern campaigns.

I think the middle eastern British forces should have their own unique tropical uniforms anyway.

Still, there is DLC and post launch content and if this gold is a major hit it could happen.

Come to think of it, the single player has a lot of models and assets unique to the campaign right? maybe they'll transfer some of them over eventually post release. That would be pretty cool.

How 'bout them hawks news huh!
They did change Luke Skywalker on Hoth after a while, so I can see them adding some more appropriate clothing to BEF in the Eastern theatre.

Also, as I recall, the BF 3 DLC "Aftermath" added custom looks for all classes on those specific maps. (That DLC was loving dope all in all).

Last hour of my trial, bought the CQ light tank mod with the shotgun and proceeded to ruin peoples day as they tried to cap A/B on Sinai. A light tank up on those cliffs is really overpowered. Anyone down below has to find the right angle to shoot up or be far enough away that I can dodge their AT shots. Can't wait till it releases.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed Suez feels like a BC1/BC2 map.

I can't remember the name of it but it was a desert map in BC1 that opens with you assaulting a small town connected by a bridge.

Then in MCOM location 2 it moves into an urban setting with tons of small buildings. This map feels identical in layout.

Yeah it's still very easy to cheese to the top with the light tank. I'm almost tanker rank 2 but I still don't know how to unlock poo poo, there's a gun that looks like the cavalry lever action rifle that I really want for the few times I bail on my tank.

Click the class, then click customize on the left. for tanks, you have to select the tank from the spawn screen, then click customize. The weapons load out for the driver can be changed there. And I have the revolver rifle thingy, it's ok, but the spread on it is weird and I've yet to get used to it. CQ is decent with it though.

Pretty sure that's Oasis and yeah that map was garbage on Rush imo.

BF1 is looking fun but i'm going to wait a few more days before deciding to pre-order and see if anything really emerges as bad or broken.

It seems to dump you into an empty server, instead of a full one. If you wait around long enough, someone will show up, and you'll stare at each others nametags until one of you gets bored and goes to play Conquest.

Servers for Rush are broken, as far as I can tell. Trying to quickmatch into Rush dumps you into empty servers every time.

Not yet. Can't get into a proper game of it. They let you choose any operation you want, but only one of them works and I never find a full game of it. I've heard really good things, though.

It's not an inherently bad idea, but BF1 feels really close and kill-y, and I think the designers realized it. Quite often there's a five minute base-camp at the start of the tighter maps that completely decides the game for everyone, and I think that's really, really stupid. The one I posted ended in under 15 minutes as we pushed the enemy to their spawn and my teammates were spamming sniper fire and airburst mortars.

It's only going to get worse when the game is released and people stack teams. I'm really disappointed they bait-and-switched conquest mode with this poo poo because now it's just going to encourage even more sniping. Between this and no rc for servers, I can't imagine this is going to go any better than Battlefront did. Curious to see if people are still playing early next year or if the numbers will have dropped substantially from release.

Also :lol: at voice chat clients. "VENTRILO IS BETTER" "NU HUH I LIKE ROGER WILCO" "MUMBLE RULES TEAMSPEAK SUX" Y'all trippin if you ain't usin voice calls on a public switched telephone network. Carrier pigeon also acceptable given the subject matter

This is why I'm so interested in the Operations mode cause it seems like its trying purposely build those style of matches that last for 40 or 50 minutes. Like if you lose the first round its still not over and on top of this you also get fairly large conquest style layouts instead of the RUSH style layout which is just a shooting gallery.

Hopefully they get it working this weekend.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's totally fine but considering we had enough people for three full squads last night (and that is before our regulars got on) I think there's more people than you realize that either want to use DISCORD or don't mind using both.

Personally depending on the game we're talking about I'll switch back and forth between the two based on whichever is more populated.

I think it's worse than Oasis conquest from BC2 when Suez funnels the action into a strip down the middle. Oasis broke up sightlines a lot better since all the buildings aren't clustered on one side of the map. Fao is a neat map when the weather rolls in and the gaggle of scouts can't be bothered to use flares.

Sniper rifles remain stupidly easily. Sniping is a cinch when a bodyshot is 90% health a hundred metres away.

I was gonna say it doesn't really matter but then I remembered bad team mates who die repeatedly without capping poo poo will make lose you no matter how much effort you put in. so i guess i agree.
