Battlefield 1 on Steam sale reaches new alltime peak players with almost 50k players
- Thread starter Klyka
- Start date
It's not a kernel anti cheat, should run fine under Proton
No, major third parties like EA, Ubisoft, etc. who have their own launcher don't typically allow their games to activate on Steam or any other launcher for their newer games since those games require their launcher anyway. There are exceptions, like when Apex was added to Steam, it didn't require Origin, but Apex is an exception and not the norm. If a game contains some kind of major mp component from EA, assume Origin is required unless otherwise stated. Games like BF1 came out during a time where Origin was pretty much required for playing their games if you bought them from third party sites or services.
Honestly the safest move would probably be to make a sequel to BFV in Korea or Vietnam. Just copy/paste the game mechanics into a new setting.
I don't have faith that current Dice can do a modern setting justice at this point because it requires them to make something brand new (yet again).
Damn I forgot that's why I put it down for a while. Hackers would pop up constantly and ruin the round for everyone. Hopefully it's not as bad right now.
SP is very boring and shallow.
There are a bunch of small campaign episodes. Some of them are pretty good, like the italian and the great britain one, and the others are still okay'ish.
It was okay the last time I played, but that was right after the ps5 launch when it was first introduced to the PS Plus Collection.
Granted, its the first time I've fired up BF1 in a long while but it was nice to just play an Operation and not have a completely empty lobby, since that was my experience playing BF1 whenever it was last time I played it a while ago.
Operations are so damn good.

question. does steam have it's own population for this game or does it mix with those launching from the EA app?
Steam chart only show those who launch the game from steam.
Since this chart doesn't show EA app players, I would guess that overall PC population is over 75k.
Battlefield noob here and i disagree. Game had flow or it was artificially i dont know. one thing I know is I Had so much fun and i dont like WW1/WW2 settings.
Well you just stated the answer to your confusion at the bottom of your post.
Hardcore BF fans don't like the casual elements while the casual fans love it.
Honestly I hate the hardcore side cause they're the ones who think the game needs to be a squad based shooter with strategy and teamwork. Which is obviously dumb cause the biggest selling point of the series is the chaos and spectacle of massive battles. (Also some of them want it to be more milsim)
I will say, going from BF4 to BF1, it really did not hold me when it first came out. Does it feel more accessible and less overwhelming now-a-days?
Great Battlefield experience to this day. Glad to see people going back to it.
I love the squad/teamwork element, but I would never play a Battlefield with just close quarters combat and no crazy random shit exploding everywhere.

This still using Denuvo? I already have it on PS5 through the PS+ programme, but I'd kill for a go on PC.
I have to say, BF1 on the PS4 felt far more "next-gen" than MWII on PS5.
I say that as someone who's really enjoying the MWII campaign and gameplay.

It will launch Origin, which will then launch the game. Same as 90% of EA games on Steam.
May as well just add the .exe as a non Steam game to get the Steam overlay working.
talking about "obviously dumb"...
one thing does not exclude the other, did you ever play BF2? has more depth to it than any modern BF while being, well, a battlefield that does not want to desperately attract the CoD audience
and nobody in the community wants BF to be "mil sim", thats what PR Reality and Squad are for
Most polished FPS game of the past decade, I'm still actively playing it has a super healthy playerbase.
I mean, that's what the series used to be. See BF2 and BF2142. And those games weren't exactly lacking in scale or spectacle, either.
I loved it when I played it in PS4 a few years ago. This thread is making me want to go back to it, though some posters are mentioning low player counts on PS. Hopefully it's still healthy-enough to find consistent matches, at least.
some of my favorite non Bad Company campaign moments in a Battlefield game.
lol i almost want to install it again right now.
lol former hardcore here, and yeah squading up on voice chat, having an actual commander with an overhead map giving orders, and using tactics was and is a big part of battlefield. They reduced some of those things for the console market versions and in some cases got rid of them altogether, but that doesn't mean the tactical gameplay fundamentals are gone.
Some people like the chaos. SOME people are there for the chaos and spectacle and a casual online shooter experience like an alternative to Modern Warfare, and that's cool. I welcome those folks. But a lot of the PC players have flight sticks and headsets just for this game, and it is a milsim as far as they're concerned.
Forget the "selling points" lol. People have been playing this game for a long time.
I think 2042's failure proves that what the casual audience wants and expects from the series isn't that much different than want the hardcore players want from a Battlefield game. Otherwise 2042's design with its constant chaos, explosions, overly simplified vehicle gameplay and a reduced emphasis on teamwork would be much more successful than it is.
There needs to be more to the game than just spectacle and constant chaos and 2042's design and failure proves that better than anything as it's the most chaotic Battlefield has ever been and is full of those "Battlefield Moments" people love so much.
Me and my friend laughed so hard when this happened ingame.
Early BF bugs are always glorious

Yes. Generally speaking, for all EA games, unless otherwise specified as there can be some exceptions, EA app / Origin / Steam / EGS / any other PC storefront / Game Pass (through EA app / Origin) are all part of the exact same platform, backends wise.
