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.

sad...but totally true! 

 

I aint been near anything DICE since BF4. they are a shadow of their former self.

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.

    • I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html
    • AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
    • I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
