Fao Fortress posted:

Join one of the earliest amphibious landings of the Great War as the British Empire struggles to secure the oil on the Al-Faw Peninsula. The majestic Ottoman fortress of Fao guards the entrance and is not falling uncontested. Here you will fight through marshlands and dunes, over bridges and shallow coves. The assault finally enters the ancient fortress itself. The quest for oil begins here. The Dreadnought needs to feed.

lol just lol if you play a battlefield game for any other reason than to be at the top of the scoreboard

There are many ways to win at battlefield. Some times I have won by getting half a clan banned from their own hardcore server by jihad grenade on lockers. Getting the urock server admin so mad he bans half the players on the server with his rampage only ending when he accidentally banned himself. Go to any 24/7 lockers/metro and fling flairs like candy. Claymore hell on pearl market. There are many was to win in battlefield.

No one has mentioned Operations yet?

quote:

Operations offer epic journeys across several maps based upon real battles of World War I. We wanted to offer a large and epic experience with a focus on teamplay and frontline combat. Adding this meta-layer to the game mode, and stretching it across multiple interesting locations that both look and play very differently, adds a whole new layer of scale and variety to the battles in Battlefield 1. Your team can win on one map, proceed to the next map, and actually see the map you previously fought over on the horizon.

This sounds awesome but how in the hell will I see Sinai if Argonne was the next map???

How did they solicit beta feedback and is it too late? I assumed it was Reddit because that's how all the other battlefield games got patched:jerkbag:

Hoping they don't make horses too fragile too, It was nice claiming a horse for yourself as it is hard to spawn in one.

Happy to hear they are looking into doing something with Support.

Agreed on both counts. Invincible horse wasn't that bad to fight against in my opinion and it was fun to ride

Invincible horse was hilarious as it would trot along not giving a gently caress despite being enveloped in a direct artillery hit killing the rider. gently caress you Warhorse indeed.

Loved the beta, I usually play assault scout and I love that the bullets feel faster.

The Russian gun with the close range scope was a really awesome gun. It made it possible to capture flags and get in close.

I very much preferred all the scout rifles with iron sights so I hope there's an option to strip the individual guns of their scopes in the full release, because having to use a scope with the gewehr 98 was zzzzzz

even if that were true, there's so many ways to work around the server rule set in previous titles that it's not enforceable at all without rcon or procon.

You only hear yelling during the charge and not before, it activates instantly from sprinting. And you either hear it or you don't at all, as opposed to gunfire. I hope they make it super obvious by release because there is no expert navigation required when you have as much damage resistance as a cavalry officer while charging.
