I've got a 950 and 32gigs of ram, fingers crossed ;)

I think you'll be fine  ;)

First spawn in i got clubbed immediately by someone from behind. Nice welcome to the game! Next spawn in I shot a guy with one of those flare pistols, I could see and hear him screaming on fire so I ran up and clubbed him to put him outof his misery, he ddidn't go down but turned round and killed me with one bash. Very frustrating. Some of those guys were over level 15, they must have been playing for hours.

Quite enjoying the sniping although it's challenging with shorter distance scopes.  The menus are very clean and very similar to Battlefront.  The end game screen is from there too.

Nice visuals, dodgy bullet registration, buggy menus and options screens.  Fell through the map more than once and just randomly died several times trying to toggle settings after spawning in.  Standard Dice game really.  Yes, it's a beta......

On a general note (and I couldn't initially see), is this online only like Star Wars or is there a single player game?

Yeah, there's single player. Though the general rule of thumb with BF is that if it's not Bad Company, give single player a miss.

Thanks.

I'm 32 and I've had a console for most of my life. I feel like a dinosaur, but I've never played online. Just never fancied it. With having kids I only really get to have a 20-30min go each time and it seemed easier to just do a single player.

Looking at this game I think I might have to get into the modern world. Looks amazing.

Didn't realise how broken the Beta was - unless you leave a server after your first game, you don't get any progression towards your class.

Think it's fucking great myself, I'll hold back picking faults until the full release.

Loving the dynamic weather and sand storms, also like the feel of the weapons, gas and having to put a mask on seems pretty atmospheric to me

Go to server browser and pick a server. You will probably have to wait on a queue, but ultimately you should be able to get into a game.

I originally posted this on Reddit but I'll paste here  :wave

I'm 15 hours or so in and honestly was concerned early on, the transition from Battlefield 4 is incredibly jarring compared to the BF3 > 4 one. I honestly think that's why many have thrown their dummies out the pram (I'm looking at you Official Battlefield Forums).
But the more I play it the more it's starting to feel like it's own game, distinct from both modern Battlefield and Battlefront. The gun-play is amazing, weapons feel distinct, weighty and satisfying to use. I found this refreshing since spending most of the last year playing CSGO after burning out on BF4.

The map is decent enough now people have gotten used to the 'meta', huge infantry battles between points are a frequent occurrence, huge deadlocks you rarely got on BF4 - very WW1 either by chance or design.

I thought tanks were OP, they still are on Rush to a degree but on Conquest with the bomber plane they're no problem, but you need co-ordination with your other gunners... it's not about soloing, it shouldn't be. Mostly everything in this game has a counter, there's always a solution.

A quick shoutout to the planes while I'm at it, amazing aerial combat that is utterly exhilarating and immersive. My 'most used' vehicle in BF4 was a tank, 80 kills in 700 hours - I hated vehicles. I'm already on 68 after 15 hours here, lovely.

I echo a lot of the complaints, i.e.:
  • The old conquest mode HAS to return, you can see combacks happening but they don't due to the ticket system or round timer - no fun.
  • Medic notification icons need some work, but it's NO WHERE NEAR as bad as people are moaning about. My squad stays revived most of the time.
  • UI buggy and slow on a beasty PC

I'm hoping these get ironed out, looking forward to the full release.

Agree with most of this, love the way they've weighted the weapons in this and they've got the bullet velocity right as well. You have to take speed and distance into account when firing at something moving across your screen and aim in front of it.

Thankfully it feels fuck all like star wars battlefront, if anything it reminds me of the Bad Company 2 Vietnam pack which was fucking boss.
