BF hardline's single player kept me interested for about an hour. Longer than any other I've played.

I think one of the bad company games had an ok single player mode but I didn't check it out.
Yea I rented Hardline because I couldn't get into the online aspect of it. The single player started off alright and then it just got wacky and I didn't even have the nerve to push through it. I think the second and 3rd games had campaigns that somewhat kept me playing to the end.

How many people do you all think will play Battlefield 1 ? Do you think it will be more than Battlefield 4 ?

Less I'd guess. I think WWI is going to be a lot for the run and gun crowd to wrap their head around.
Did you play the beta? Nothing has changed for runner gunners like myself. I had a literal "blast" charging thru the village one shotting people with a shotgun. LOL Plenty of automatics too, although it did feel outta sorts for a WWI game.

I had pre-ordered it quite some time ago and loved the Beta.

The WWI setting is different and fun. Especially the planes.

i have Test this BF 1, it is only Arcade gaming, totally boring for play and waste made. The game isnt Mod able, you cannot create a own Mod game on BF1, because there is no Battlecraft editor delivered. And it is only a fictive war, not a real WW1, you can put it to these game to the cyber punk genre. Yeah the graphics looks awesome, but the gaming and feeling in the vehicle is ugly.

Two original Release Trailers from the developers of BF 1918:

Movie 1:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odqJBOS-Fbs

Movie 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKJzg5KrtV0

enjoy!

If you have your old Battlefield 1942 CD i can recommend you the Battlefield 1918 v3.1 Mod, it is the real WW 1 simulation, ok it has no modern graphics and no destroyable areas.
But is graphics and destroyable areas all in gaming today? If do you want enjoy the real feeling of the planes, ships, tanks, war in the trenches, you have to get Battlefield 1918 3.1 its the one and only Ego-Shooter simulation for WW 1 Fans!



If do you didnt find server anymore, dont worry, overwrite your old "bf1942.exe" with this one, it connect you back to the Gamespy BF 1942 online server: Download

I did play. I liked it. However there were a lot of complaints online about it being 'too slow' and that people didn't like the lack of automatics. I think BF fans will be fine. The COD kiddies might be turned off a little bit. Biggest issue for me was the 1hk body shot sniper rifles when it feels like you're firing nerf bullets in return. Not making 1hk a head shot was a mistake for normal mode IMHO.

Keep in mind that most people that play FPS like Battlefield don't want the ARMA threatment with a slower more tactic pace. You may not like it but alot of people do just like alot prefer the ARMA/SQUAD of this world.

Battlefield has a knack for ease of access, anyone can get good at flying a plane or driving a tank in an hour, that is one of the reason people like it.

So it is not a real WW1 simulation either?

Charging at someone only to fall into a crater that suddenly appeared from a bomb dropped by a plane flying overhead. Or getting the tank supporting you to blow up the building that has a couple of snipers hiding in it pinning you down.

Destroyable areas are pretty awesome.

From what I hear we might me getting some of the COD crowd over since they were disappointed in the last iteration.

I'm really looking forward to this. I had a lot of fun during the open beta; I think I enjoyed myself more than in any Battlefield game since BF:BC2 playing with my brother back in like 2009/2010 (coincidentally, one of the things I liked most about BC2 was the total destruction in it).

I actually got a refund on my preorder. I've decided to skip this all together or at the very least wait until it has been out awhile and see how it is before committing.

I'm sure there are Aimbots/Wallhacks already available

They haven't really been a big issue in BF4, Fairfight seems to be pretty good at it's job. Im more concerned about DDoS attacks on the servers on launch day. Poodlecorp seems to have a thing for BF1, they really did a number on the beta for a couple of days.

I remember in the late 70's meeting a veteran at the Local VA hospital who was blind as a result of a gas attack in WWI "in the trenches".

After we chatted for awhile, he opened up and started telling me about trench warefare. It was chilling.

To this day I still think about him. WOW.

I hope we remember how tough this War was.

I'm hoping it's like the original Medal of Honor as far as how weapons work. Man I miss that game

Is there any type of group here playing together? I tend to play late at night EST time.

I'm sure once the game releases the usual suspects will post their names. Though many already are friends though the other BF games.

paperfist, did you play the beta? That should give you an idea of how the weapons work.

I played and still have all of the Medal of Honors. The games now are much more complex.

I also fool around with flight sims and Rise of Flight and now Il 2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad are my favorites.

BF1 has done a neat thing of incorporating tanks, planes, horses and infantry into a single game. I'm sure other games have done similar things but I found what they did to be a lot of fun. In addition the WWI storyline is fascinating.

No I didn't have a chance to play the beta. I've played all of the Battlefield games and yes I agree they are a lot more complex. I just get that feeling in them that I die with one shot whereas with MoH it seemed like you didn't die right away. I think that may have to do with MoH simpler premise of just infantry vrs infantry.

Hi guys. I bought a radeon 480 last night and got an email offer for bf 1. It says if i redeem before oct 18th ill get access to bf 1 3 days early and get additional battlepacks. If i redeem after oct 21 ill get deluxe edition upgrade. Does that mean the same thing but ill get in 3 days early if i apply the code before the 18th? Just wondering which offer is better. Sorry not too up to date on this game.

It is the same thing. The Deluxe edition is also the early enlister edition before release. Early enlister also gets early access to the new map DLC released later this year.

Just get it now. (or PM the code to me, your choice).

i want to play an online fps but never been a fan of BF. Played the beta and it played like every other BF game I played and pissed me off, but I was playing solo the whole time. maybe if I had a group of people to play with it would be better? Problem is, I played Warthunder solo at first and was frustrated. Then joined a squadron and had fun people to play with and really enjoyed it. now the people I liked playing with are rarely ever on and I hate playing without them because it's not as fun, so i rarely play it any more.
