Battlefield 1's Beta supports DirectX 12 on PC

my code did say it was only for my account..
having said that though. if that was the case in reality why would they even need to send me a code at all.
 
I have been gradually getting back on form with the fps thing. I had to move my steering wheel so i could use the desk (i have been just using my knee for years) Now i need to get a mouse mat,
but started racking up points in the double digit thousands during a game, which i think is pretty good.. there does not seem to be that many that get more points.. But my k/d ratio is a bit weak struggling to get it above 1, still having fun so far.
but i wont be paying hundreds for the silly thing.
And im noticing a lot of guns that i can "buy with war bonds" and that's the kind of stuff that will mean i wont bother playing unless its simply cosmetic.
if its one of those games where the more you play the better your items are then may as well call it a day now.
 
Still not been able to try this, hopefully the postman brings the part I need today so I can get to testing my cpu etc, and hopefully find out the issue today in order to have some time to play this.

From what I have seen it looks good, and appears to not have the issues I saw in BF4 but until I get to play it myself I won't know for sure.
 
Code worked, so if anyone has any to pass on, they work with other accounts. Thanks for that

That just about sums up the battlefield experience, it's always about unlocking options. I wouldn't say any one gun is the 'best' it's all about preference and playstyle tbh.

It's more about 'unlocking' customisations etc.

Tbh if you pick a gun, and stick with it. You'll do far better doing the traditional learning of how a gun behaves and sticking with that one gun, that you will swapping and changing about. But each gun is champion in specific circumstances usually and it's rare this is a one size fits all for BF, simply because of the change in range and engagement that goes on.

There will *always* be one gun that's OP at launch and everyone will be using it, but they almost always then nerf it, or make other stuff better.. typical FPS with many guns stuff tbh.
 
I managed to get to the server browser list, but even from there joining servers returned a unknown error.
there are a total of 65 players over 6 servers with 8 empty servers. with nearly none of them being 64 player servers.
no servers in the usa or GB are up..

i think its been hit with a DDoS..
Seems a bit lame for people to chose to do this, There were not many of us that got to try the game out yesterday. Any way thought id rip a screenie, cannot connect to any of them.. and takes forever to even see them.. really think its a DDoS attack

It was a DDoS attack yesterday that took down the servers. A real shame imo for people to do this.. Luckily I got to play the beta on the 30th and I have to say.. I sure like it :) The chaos is real, the melee combat is brutal and the graphics are very good. it'll take some getting used to the new weapon arsenal to find out how every gun behaves though.
Not such a big fan of the unlocking system though. I preferred BF4's system where it took x amount of time with a class to unlock weapons, whereas now you need to save these warbonds and spend them like currency for unlocking new stuff.
 
i was eventually able to play again later in the evening so it was ok. But the results never showed up like they did on day 1.

as for the upgrading:
you get to buy stuff with war bonds, but you also rank up and unlock more things to buy..
i really dont like the unlocking and getting weapons and stuff.. Im a big fan of rpg's and so on but a FPS "IMO" should be you get these guns to chose from
(rifle, machine gun, sniper, sub machine gun) + a pistol and some form of melee weapon and then you can have one of the following:
(explosives/medical supplies/extra ammo/some sort of grenade)
and thats it.
then you should have area hit box multipliers no health bar or Regen, head shot = you die. leg shot = you limp. arm shot = you cant aim properly. some one with a med kit can fix that stuff for you.
accumulated damage still kills you (2 -3 chest shots or multiple arm or leg shots)

And that should be it..

dont need a health bar to regen, dont need leveling up to unlock stuff, dont need special armour that makes you impervious.
Just keep it simple..

I do like the ranks and squad system, its good when your squad leader and the rest of the squad attack the target you recommend. and i like how it is beneficial to the squad to follow the order as they gain points from it..

but i am disappointed that first person shooters have gone down this road.
 
I also like that type of damage system, but that would be impossible to implement in an arcade shooter like BF. But that's where games like ARMA and Squad kick in though, always a blast to have that extra bit of adrenaline pumping through your body knowing you can get shot and killed at any moment when not being careful enough ^^
 
Where was it confirmed a DDOS? Usually if it's DDOS you wouldn't even get the server list from the API. (or be able to login, frankly)

You need Squad or Arma in your life, BF isn't the game for you if this is the experience you're looking for.
