Re: Battlefield 5

I enjoyed the beta, so looking forward to playing it properly tomorrow. Haven't played the last 2 BF games, but this did feel nice to play again.

My account is Dannf6BF3 (if I remember correctly!), but I'll be in the discord whenever I'm playing anyway!

Re: Battlefield 5

Played about 10 hours so far and pretty sure I'll get my money's worth out of it.

Mostly been playing infantry and the squad play is good , pushing flags with a few people on comms is very rewarding.

Not used the vehicles too much yet , but hopefully the attrition mechanic means they can't dominate as much as in some of the earlier iterations of BF.

Menu system is very convoluted , and some of it seems counter-intuitive but maybe its just something that needs to be gotten used to.

Overall I think this is going to be a winner , not a huge amount of maps on release , but free content coming every month ( I think?)

Re: Battlefield 5

1st opinion? Really good even game play and great graphics. They must have some fantastic graphic specialists, as it really is optimised to run fast with a high graphic setting, on an older system.

I am running clocked CrossFire 2x ATi 7870 2GB cards with a i5-3570K at 4.6GHz on air. This runs everything on High at an incredibly smooth frame rate.

There is hope for us ageing cheapskates yet :)

Great game tonight with Danny, Sax, and Joker. Slarti saw me and whipped my pants down. Luckily, it was just what I wanted him to do!

Re: Battlefield 5

Had some good fights tonight , some tough battles pushing flags and some really tight games

If we had 2 decent squads on the one server we would rape the shit out of it

Haven't used the tanks too much but they almost feel a secondary part of the game so far , haven't even used many mines and they were my staple on previous BF games

In saying that I believe the next map release is tank orientated so that might all change

I'm liking the attrition system , means people have to use their brains a little and try to work as a team

Revives from all team mates is working out a lot better than I thought , the long revive time for non medics seems to stop it from being over used , but you still get a lot of randoms saving your ass

The removal of 99% of the 3d spotting is great , makes the core game feel more like hardcore

The new resupply/health system is quiet good also , not so easy for people to just spam shit everywhere now , makes for a more balanced game I feel
