I'm waiting to purchase it after I see more gameplay footage of the different maps. So far not impressed with the seeming lack of iconic WWI set pieces in the multiplayer maps (specifically trenches and large artillery pieces). Also annoyed with the number of automatic weapons present in the game, it may as well not even be set in WWI. May be a good game, but I don't take kindly to branding a game based on a specific time period then getting the historicity of it so wrong as well as leaving out two of the biggest parts of WWI (trenches and heavy artillery).

im a huge BF franchise fan (since BF42) and have managed multiple ranked servers and clans over the years, run up literally 500+ of hours on every BF title since 42, until Battlefront (managed 30hours) so I know when I say, BF1, is Battlefront with fake WWI pants on.

 

im also have a big WWI historical interest and this also annoys the hell out of me, its crazily inaccurate, it doesnt even have the french on release, a later DLC, sorry what? 

 

No hosted private server support unless DICE or EA (although some noise about renting them now) but still no word on active admin facilities, no RCOn etc.

 

I've played in the closed alpha (NDA agreement) and the last beta and tbh it leaves me cold, im not even bothering installing the latest beta.

 

Sure is pretty but it has hacking problems already pistols seem to be the weapon of choice for the aim-botters, how can you manage that without any active admin facilities? 

 

Sad times for me, its a turd, a highly polished one, but a turd nevertheless, itll bomb on PC just like battlefront did (30 hours before i was bored personally) welcome to DICE/EAs Consolised BF franchise,

 

thanks Battlefront, look what you did to old faithful on its original platform.........

:|  Well, looks like I wont be able to play it...

 

So you need a new CPU just to play this game?

Take dices spec with a pinch of salt. If your pc blasted bf4 and battlefront at high to ultra at decent fps youll be fine.

I just don't know about this game, it's to simple... BF4 each gun felt different, there were extra add-ons for vehicles. You could change your class loadout's outside of having to do it while a game is going on in the background. It seems to me they decided to dumb it down to bring in a larger audience.

yep, and its tanking on PC, players leaving in their droves, stupidification of the Battlefield franchise sadly.

reskinning battlefront and putting in gas attacks does not equate to a worthy title imo.

BF typically has less players on PC these days, regardless of the quality of the game. Tactical shooters and Overwatch rule the FPS scene. Even CoD's MP is dead on PC.

If only the game was as exciting as the trailer....

 

The crate system sucks. The gun load out only in game system sucks, all the guns of each class feel the same. You can headshot someone across the map without even trying, like it has some aim/bullet assist. It is nothing like Battlefield 4 or 3. You can tell it was dumbed down for consoles.

Not sure if "for consoles", as BF4 was on consoles too, but BF1 feels certainly dumb.

 

The design decisions regarding crates, in game loadouts and weapon variety are just outright lame, and the near absence of bullet drop is preposterous.

WW1 snipers are apparently more advanced than their modern, state of the art BF4 counterparts.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By Bdpy · Posted

      my problem with outlook (new) is that it connects only to outlook.com. all connections to external providers goes through there. Got your mail server and want to use imap directly? no way... it adds a connector on outlook.com. last bug; if your email on an external provider if the same as principal email of your microsoft account, it doesn't work...

    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By astropheed · Posted

      The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.
