Info on They Shall Not Pass DLC is up: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/battlefield-1-they-shall-not-pass-dlc-detailed-in-/1100-6447210/

Four new maps, new tank, new behemoth is a tank, new melee-focused elite class, new field gun, and a new mode that's a rush/conquest hybrid. No mention of new firearms, but I have to think there will be a few.

Lies. All lies! I'm a pubbie in goon clothing.

I mostly just absorb bullets and poo poo medpacks and ammo while trying to keep up with you and Sk8ter. I did go 17-11 the other night in Conquest, so I got that going for me. Though, I think it was less skill and more that I just lucked into a superbad pubbie shooting gallery.

Standing on the objective (not two feet from it) and throwing ammo to the guys on your team who are crapping on the enemy makes you roughly 10x as useful as the average pubbie.

New non behemoth tank is the st chamond, which is a French heavy tank. Looks bulky. Give me maneuverability dice.

We're on modern consoles here. How about trying out 40vs40 for once. Maybe one day it can be 50 vs 50

I think it's a network limitation. It's some sort of balance between processing power to track everything, network to be able to share everything (and that grows exponentially) and tick rate.

In my opinion 32 v 32 is an awful lot of people as evidenced by some of the choke points on Operations. If :dice: did a better job funneling people into each other rather than letting 15 people on each team lay down on a mountain 150m away you'd get that "50 v 50" chaos you're looking for.

Yea I don't want 32 on 32 rush. What a poo poo show. Although so many easy arty truck kills....

12 v 12 is too weak as it stands. Upping each side to 18 might be good enough.

16v16 in BF4 always seemed to work out decently well.

Also I don't see why they wouldn't be able to put Frontlines on the original maps. Pretty much every map has a linear sequence of points you could use.

battlefront introduced a new game mode after launch that got backported to all the existing maps, I don't see why they couldn't do that here

This is my first Battlefield in a long time and the first one I've actually played enough to want more maps -- should I just pony up for the premium pass or does that price in some cosmetic/early access stuff I don't care about? Does that ever get cheaper (on PS4)?

I never realized how much points there were to be had resupplying, mostly cause I never live long enough/use special weapons to really need more ammo and I was just projecting that they're useless to everyone else.

I use the AT rocket gun as my primary on the larger maps and that means I'm out of ammunition I dunno, 15 seconds after I spawn. I love when friends run supplies for me :)

You get a legendary battlepack every month and (I think) 2 week early access when new expansions come out. I don't remember how often it went on sale for BF4 but it was probably close to the end of the release cycle or after all the map packs were added.

Problem with the mappacks, at least in previous games, was that they segmented them out in such a way that usually nobody was left playing the "old" map-packs once the new ones came out.

The same is true for game modes in some games where they keep adding those. Hate it.

I don't see that :dice: has fixed the problem of splitting the player base yet. Yes, I want the new maps. But we all know that 1 month after the release of a map-pack we will be back to vanilla because:

1: This is what has happened with every BF game I've played on console, starting with Bad Company 2.

2: Not everyone in our respective circles will purchase. Since we are not total cunts we find it better to play with more of our friends than to exclude them for NEW MAPS.

3: I've never been too impressed with the new map releases. Vietnam for BC2 was great but guess what. 2 months later we were back to vanilla.

4: Season pass holders will have two weeks to play the new maps providing a trip report along the lines of 'It's cool but in two weeks when the rest of you can buy the maps individually we'll probably move back to the standard rotation."

This is why I'm not giving them my money for a season pass. I mean hell, look at Battlefront. Half the time you can't even find a server using the maps released in the middle.

Would be pretty cool if they adopted the TitanFall 2 model and made the map-packs free + shoved them in a patch so everyone automatically had them. Then add them to the default map rotation and be done with it.
